TEXAS IS FLOODED
WITH MELLON TAX
PLAN PROPAGANDA
Considerable Literature Re.
ceiued in Various State
Departments.

Austin, Tex, March 22.-Texas is
apparently being flooded with litera-
ture in support of the Mellon tax re-
duction proposal, if the amount of
such literature received by the various
state departments is taken as an in
dication. This literature is being sent
out by what is termed the citizens ma
tional committee, with headquarters
in the Hotel Biltmore, New York. and
of which organization Maj. Gen. John
i. Ryan is given as the national chair
man.
In one state department alone over
30 pieces of this literature were re-
ceived covering not only the heads of
that department but also all employees,
many of whom, however, are not now
in the employ Of the state, the list
from which these names were obtained
being about five years old.
Included in this literature is an ar
ticle written by Otto Fl. Kahn. New
York financier, entitled "Why i Favor
the Mellon Tax Plan" in which the
writer gives comprehensive analysis
of the Mellon plan. 'Mr. Kahn makes
it easy to understand the issue pre-
sented," General Ryan is quoted as
saying. He deals Interestingly and
convincingly with facts and his con-
illusions are logical and free from
bias"
