ALL FALL MESSAGES
Publisher Is Witness Before Spe-

Edward B. Mclean, publisher of
the Washington Post, and S- w.
Zevely of, counsel for Harry f. Sin
clair, we're called as witnesses today
before the special oil grand jury in
the District of Columbia Supreme
Court.
Mclean was required under his
subpoena to produce all kilograms
and letters exchanged between him
self and Albert B. Fall, former Sec
retary of the Interior, and principal
figure in the Senate oil inquiry. This
correspondence and McIIean's private
kilograms have been the subject of
an exhaustive examination by The
Senate oil committee.
Mclean testified before the Senate
oil investigators that he had agreed,
at the request of Fall, to say he had
loaned the former cabinet officer
100000 cash instead of giving him
unused checks for that amount At
the same time the publisher denied
any, knowledge with respect to the
loan which he subsequently learned

NORRIS ANSWERS AUTO KING
Manufacturer, in Letter, Refuses
Representation Before Committee.

James Martin Miller, who in a tele-
gram quoted President Coolidge as
saying he was trying to deliver
Muscle Shoals to Henry Ford, told
the Senate agricultural committee
today that he had correctly and
truthfuny'' stated the facts in the
message which he sent to Ford's sec
retary within twenty-five minutes
after an interview with the President
Miller told the committee the gov
ernment had no secret service or
propaganda organization greater than
that of Ford's.
Before Miller took the stand Chair
man Norris inserted in the record
the letter sent to the committee by
Henry Ford, in which the manufac-
turer said he would not be represent
ed further before the committee, Civ
ing as one of the reasons the recent

letter was -an attempt to shift the

The next witness, Gustavus Obert.
jr., president of the Natinoal Fertil-
izer Association, said his firm manu-
factured 9S per cent of all fertilizer
used in the country.
There is no fertilizer trust. There
is the fiercest kind of competition in
the trade and it has become so great
that several concerns have gone out
of business" Obert said He detailed
other features of the industry.
Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi
said he would oppose adjournment of
Muscle Shoals and at the present rate
it will be a month before the hear
ings will end and Muscle Shoals will
be caught in the legislative jam dur
ing the closing days of Congress.
Senator Harrison said he was sure
he >could not be accused of trying to
shut off the hearings, but he wished
the committee would act on the prop
oSition
Chairman Norris agreed that at an
executive session tomorrow a decision
could be reached for closing the hear
ings. He added that he did not see
how the other witnesses could be
cut Off after allowing the others all
the time they wanted.

MANEUVER FOR TEST
UPON INCOME TAX
Senate Leaders Expect Decision
When General Bill Comes Up
for Final Vote.

Party leaders Unanswered today for
the final decision on the income tax
rates in the revenue bill as the SEN
usual, took up the corporation and
estate taxes in a drive to wind up
consideration of the measure.
The showdown on the income scS,ed-
ule will come when the bill as a
whole comes to a vote, and those in
charge of the measure sought today
to get final action tomorrow or Fri
day.
Republicans, continuing their con-
ferences, were determined to replace
the Simmons income tax rates, put
into the bill by Democratic -Repub-
Iican insurgent coalition, with a com
promise schedule. Negotiations CEN
tered on the insurgents. and addi-
tional aid was expected from men,
bers who were absent at the time
the Simmons schedule was adopted
and from some Democrats on com
promise carrying the House rates
with a maximum surtax of s71s per
cent
Opposed by President.
Senator Jones, Democrat, New
Mexico, was prepared to open debate
today with an explanation of his
substitute proposal for the corpora
ton tax. The substitute has the in
dorsement of the Democratic confer
ence, but President Coolidge let it
be known yesterday he did not favor
the scheme.
The Senate already has modified
this tax to make it Il, instead OF
121A, per cent and eliminated the
special capital stock levy. In place
of the fiat tax, however, Senator
Jones would allow corporations, by
unanimous consent of the stock
holders, to subject themselves to the
taxes on partnerships or accept a
normal tax of per cent on net in
come, with graduated taxes in addi-
ton on the amount, of undistributed
profits in excess of 10 per cent of
the corporation income.
Would Reduce Taxpayers.
Speaking in support of his amend
ment to raise the personal exemp-
tions of single persons to $4,000 and
tf heads of families to $4,000, Sena
tor Harris, Democrat, Georgia, said
it would cut down the federal tax
payers by 100000.
ITO my mind" Senator Harris said.
"the greatest objection to the Mellon
plan, which the Senate finance COM
mittee on a strictly party vote has
adopted, and the revenue bill as it
passed the House, is their failure to

when the sixteenth amendment
was adopted to authorize an income

it never dreamed it was to be so per-
verted as to thrust the hands of the
tax-gatherer into the pockets of the
laborer, farmer and small business
man and take them from the neces-
sites of life, while it relieved the rich
of their fair share of the tax burden
