HELD Up
TO COOLIDGE TO
FORCE TAX VETO
Mellon Plan AdherentS Say
Garner Bill VIII Show
S3O0,OO0,0OO Cut.
BIZ United Press


WASHINGTON, Feb. %. - The
danger of a treasury deficit was held
up to President Coolidge today to get
him to veto the Garner Democratic
TAX plan if it should get through Con-
gress in the form in which it has
already been adopted by the House.
President Coolidge must veto the
tax reduction bill if the Garner in
come tax rates prevail, or leave a, de-
-f1cit of SSOO,O0O,O0O in the Treasury"
said Representative Ogden Mills. New
York, one of the hardest fighters for
the Mellon tax plan.
'The tax bill as reported to the
House has been amended in a num-
| ber of. minor particulars-nere .po-
litical gestures, which, though they
mar a perfect plan of tax reduction,
are not vitaI,'' said Mills.
There are two amendments or real
importance. The substitutions Of the
Garner income tax rates for the Mel
Ion rate are vital.
THE most serious effect Of the
Garner. rates is that in connection
with other tax reductions they will
produce a Treasury deficit Of
$500, 900 600.
This may well compel a presiden-
tial veto and so deprive the people OF
the country Of the immediate and
expected cut in taxes.
THE other amendment has to do
with the definition of earned incomes.
Every expert on taxation has de-
clared it impossible to administer. A
break down of the income tax law is
likely TO result.

By PAUL r. MALLoN.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-"Get
facts that will make legal @sSss for
prosecution"
This is the purpose OF Senator
Walsh, leading crusader in the naval
oil investigation, as he concluded to-
day his program for next weeks prob
ings of the Teapot Dome committee.
C. Bascom Slemp. secretary to
President Coolidge is to appear before
the investigating committee at 10 a.
m Monday.
Slemp viii be the first witness and
strong indications were given he will
be questioned Closely about certain
stock transactions.
Walsh who had just returned TO
Washington after a weeks absence. is
bent upon getting the investigation out
Of the realm of fancy and turning II
once more into channels which will
dig at the fundamentals Of the scan
dal.
The man who is said to know the
story and to be willing to tell it, If his
own interests are protected, already is
under subpoena.
0PpiAo AO1aHhA
Under this new trend of the case,
the plan calls for getting back to
basic facts" Walsh had a clearly de-
fined program Of procedure which got
out of hand. Frank Vanderlip was
called in to explain rumors he heard
regarding the sale Of President Hard.
ing's paper, the Marion Star.
1t was at this juncture Walsh de-
cided it would be a good time to sus-
pend hearings so he could revamp the
program. That is what he has been
doing during his absence this week.
Meantime he points out that it is a
singular fact the committee of which
he is the prime moving factor is
going it alone" No aid is being con
tributed by any of the Government
agencies which might be expected to
be functioning in cooperation with the
committee--the Department of Justice.
the Navy Department and the secret
service. All these are leaving the
whole probe. to the Senator's.
Schedule for Week
Here is the schedule for next week
as desired by Senator Walsh:
1. Call Edward Mclean, Washing
ton newspaper publisher, who was an
intimate friend of President Harding
and other leaders in the Administra-
ton, to learn what he knows or is
willing to tell about the inception of
The scheme to lease the naval oil re-
serves, and VINO was in on the play.
.. Call C. Bascom Slemp, secretary
to President Coolidge, for questioning
about conversations he is supposed to
have had with Mclean and certain
Government officials.
5. Call Harry F. Sinclair, for
questioning about various phases Of
his lease Of Teapot Dome naval re-
serve in the hope that indirect
evidence now before the committee
nay be obtained in form permitting
i+s use in criminal prosecutions.
Hits Stone Wall
The committee adm ttedly ran into
a stone wall when former Secretary
of The Interior Fall refused to take
the stand and tell his story. It is
feared Sinclair and even Edward L.
Doheny-the two lessees of the naval
reserves--may now decline to testify
