Secret Tax Returns
Rejected by Senate

Washington = The administration
received the hardest jolt since it came
in power when the senate voted for
full publicity of tax returns. The ma
jority party attempted to placate a
popular demand for this publicity by
presenting a carefully drawn provi-
sion in the Mellon bill that would al
low inspection of tax details only by
authorized congressional committees.
The senate rejected this proposal and
by two-to-one vote declared for full
publicity.
By practically the same vote the
senate adopted another provision
which will give public access to all
claims for abatements or refunds of
income tax payments and the subse-
quent decisions on such pleas.
Under the present law, nothing is
more sacredly guarded than income
tax returns and refunds of taxes. The
latter is increasing by leaps and
bounds and now runs into the millions
of dollars on the word of treasury Of
ficials. The proceedings are consid-
cred as confidential matter be-
tween treasury officials and the tax
claimant.

Why Rents Are High
In Washington
(By Federated Press)

Washington-Back Of the "best
families" who try to dominate official
society and work the social lobby in
Washington, always in the interest OF
special privilege, is the real estate
ring. Just now the city is much dis
turbed by revelations of the crooked
financing of real estate companies, re-
sulting in extortionate rents, and Sen
ator Ball, chairman of the senate
committee on the District of Colum-
bia, has reported some of the facts.
He finds that there are mortgages
amounting to $9,000,000 more than
the last sale price of 80 of the largest
apartment houses in the city; that
many of these houses are mortgaged
for more than $1,000,000 above their
actual cost. This has been done by
making fake sales, transferring the
buildings from one dummy to anoth-
er. Ball named apartment after
apartment with the figures of cost
and debts, proving this statement.
These disclosures came out during
a struggle to renew the rent law, un-
der which a rent commission regu-
lates the charges which may be made
for housing. The real estate ring is
against its renewal.

ing citizen was safe. Such system
has no proper place in free country.

States bureau of information to
Burns and his cohorts of spies and
detectives" 1t indicates the lengths
the former attorney general went to
carry out his imperialistic ideas of
government and protect his private
schemes.
Burns was faithful to his master,
and it is fitting that he should follow
Daugherty with his resignation.
Another part of Mr.. Stones house
cleaning is the separation from the
public service of all of that remark
able class of secret agents known as
dollar-a-year officers. In the long
list of men holding authority as secret
agents of the department of justice,
which Mr.. Stone found on the rolls,
are number of prominent names, in
Guiding Cornelius Vanderbilt, jr.; G.
d. Hills, former chairman of the Re-
publican national committee; George
A. Carpenter, federal judge, Chicago;
John K. Tener, former governor of
Pennsylvania; T. Coleman Du Pont,
former senator from Delaware; I. H.
Hoover, chief usher at the White
House; Fred w. Upham, treasurer of
the Republican national committee; E..
B. Mclean, publisher Of the Washing
ton Post and Cincinnati Enquirer.
What was the purpose of Daugh-
erty in appointing these men to such
positions What were they expected
to do? Was it part of a plan to set
up in this country a secret govern
ment controlled by the corrupt inter,
ests Daugherty always has served :?
And in view of the revelations that
are still coming out of Washington, it
is pertinent to ask how far s,'rh de-
sign succeeded under the sl1illful di-
rection of the former attorney gen.
eral.

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL is
CLEANING HOUSE

Attorney General Stone seems to
be losing little time in his job of
cleaning up the department of justice
ridding it of the gangsters selected by
Daugherty.
w. J. Burns, head of the bureau Of
investigation, is out. He is said to
have resigned" Burns has been the
subject of criticism ever since his ap-
pointment by Daugherty three years
ago. His methods are those of the
old Russian secret police, which more
than any other one grievance were
the cause of the overthrow of the
tsarist government in that distressed
country.

its leaders, very fairly, and with
much greater ability than could the
average believer of that doctrine.
Then he voiced his objections, in
which he gave credit for the honest
intentions of the supporters of So

tive to Highway No. 8, and suggested
that the citizens of Sank Centre would
like to have Mr.. Babcock and Mr..
Mullen meet with the city officials to
assist them in settling the problem.
Mr., Mullen indicated that Mr..
Babcock and himself would be very
glad indeed, to visit Sank Centre and
fully discuss the situation here. AT
the time that he talked with the
Mayor he did not know exactly when
it would be possible for them to visit
the city but said they would notify
the Mayor day or two in advance so
that the meeting could be arranged !.
They will be here before the contract
for the paving is let in June.
From what the Herald knows of

by a desire to serve the entire peo-

wishes of local communities as far
as practicable.
