More Taxes From, Rich Are Assured
By Mellon Plan, Says House Member
Representative Sproul Of
Illinois Tells of Tour
Among Business Men.
Lo,Uer Surtax Viii Turn
Loose ''Frosen Cqpital''
Into Productive Use.

What many prominent republican
members of the House are agreed is
the most concise and comprehensive
statement Of their position with re-
gard to the tax-reduction 1egisla-
ton has been voiced by Representa-
tive Elliott w. Sproul Of Illinois,
after he had conferred with indus
trial and financial leaders through
Representative Sproul emphasizes
that the essence of the Mellon tax
plan is not to relieve from taxa
tfon those who receive large incomes
put to induce them to put this money
INTO productive enterprise rather than
In tax-eXempt securities and to get
some taxes from them where now
they evade an excessive tax. He
concluded that the Mellon tax plan
is in the interests OF the man who
must have work to support his fam
lily rather than in the interests of
the man with large income.
Menace of Frozen Capital.
His speech was in part as follows
Frozen capital does nobody any
good, and frozen capital in the United
States is increasing in the form of
investment in taX-eXempt securities.
while the country needs fluent capital
as never before for development and
extension of productive industry.

furnish steady employment to all our
citizens.
Money. or capital, is only a me-
dunn of exchange. and If it is not
kept working it fails of its purpose

term of odium which we learned dur
ing the recent war. 1t becomes
