One thousand cases of bonded

100000. were seized in the
railroad yards early today by a
squad of policemen acting un-

Reed.
Sergeant Reed had received
a secret tip that a carload of

Ohio, had been billed from a
California point as 'non-in-
toxicating wine."
The car arrived in Denver
over the Union Pacific and was
to have been transferred to

morning when seized. Sergeant
Reed said it was the first step
in the breaking up of a nation

democrats were gloat1ng over
their smashing party victory, while
Republicans were claiming that the
Democrats now had completely
stulitifed themselves before the
country by laying high surtaxes on
the very rich while at the same
time offering a complete escape
from those surfaces through per-
hitting the continued issuing Of
tax-exempt securities by States and
municipalities.
Republican Floor Leader Long
worth again derided the Democrats
"as sham and shadow battlers' who
are laying upon the very erich a big
barrage of noisy high surtaxes,
while at the same time providing
the very rich through tax-exempt
securities with "a bombproof funk
hole in which they can lie safe and
never get hit at all.
This accusation rests on the fact
that most leading Democrats h the
House voted against the proposed
Constitutional amendment which
would have empowered the Federal
Government to collect taxes on in
comes derived from State and
municipal securities which today are
tax-exempt.
1t happens that many of the
leading Democrats are from south
ern localities which are borrowing
large sums of money for new local
improvements and which naturally
wish to borrow this money at the
lowest possible rate Of interest.
Southern Towns Benefited.
These localities are not rich and
in their new large borrowings they
need the lowest rate Of interest that
they can get. They get 1t now
by selling securities the income from
which is not taxed.
If taxes were laid on that income
the rate of interest paid by these
localities on their borrowings would
go up. Therefore the Democrats
who represent these localities IN
Congress are largely opposed to the
constitutional amendment empower

FEAR VETO
Of TAX
BILL
Congress Leaders Told Cool
idge IL Aroused by Defeat
of Melons Plans.
BY GEORGE X. HOLMES.
International News Service.


The threat that President Cool
idge win veto the Democratic tax
reduction rates that are now writ
ten into the new revenue bill in
place Of the Mellon schedules was
definitely projected today into
the congressional tax fight.
The sharp defeat of the Mellon
program by a coalition Of Demo-
Gratis and Progressive Insurgents
was distinct shock to the White
House, despite the fact that it
has long been apparent to. un-
prejudiced observers at the Capt.
tol that the Mellon bill could not
be passed as written, with its
maximum surtax of 25 per cent.
President Coolidge feels very
deeply about the situation, it was
said today. The White House was
in direct touch with the Capitol
during the balloting late Tuesday,
and it was regarded as significant
today that the close friends and
confidants of the President were
openly predicting that he will never
approve the Garner reduction rates,
with their maximum surtax of A
per cent.
White House official who usu.
ally speaks for the President said:
THE President will not recede one
inch from his previously stated posi-
ton. The Garner plan is funda.
mentally unsound. Its enactment
would wipe out the 5000, zoo, 900 sur.
plus now existing in the Treasury
and would in fact create a $500, OOO,-
900 deficit.
"The President would be more
than derelict in his duty if he al
lowed a measure to become law
that would take 100000, 900 out of
the public pocket. The present
$500, 100000 surplus has been care
fully nursed into existence by the
Harding and Coolidge administra.
tions through a long series of rigid
economies.
Will Protect Treasury.
'If it is within the power Of Mr..
Coolidge, the Treasury will be pro-
tected."
A situation well.nigh unprece.
denied in political history would be
created IL President Coolidge vetoes
the revenue bill because 1t provides
greater reductions all around than
Mellon proposed. Many Repub-
licans doubt the wisdom of a veto
at a time when the entire country
has been buoyed up by the prospect
of throwing off some of the present
heavy load.
For a Republican Presidents
for election-to disapprove
lower taxes In the midst Of a cam.
paign would be an act Of magnifi.
cent courage, they concede, but they
shake their heads ruefully in con.
temptation Of the. popular reaction
that might overtake Republican
at the polls.
Political suicide" was the opinion
most heard from both Republicans
and Democrats at the Capitol con.
corning such q course.
The Democrats were frankly glee-
full today over the situation.
LET the White House veto this
BILL" they declared. ''It will mean
q Democratic Administration and
a Democratic Congress In 1924"
Defeat Was Decisive.
An analysis of the vote by which
the Mellon plan. was discarded and
the Democratic plan substituted
revealed today that the defeat of
the Mellon rates was decisive.
Despite the crack of the party
whip, the Republicans could mus
ter no more than 1876 votes for
the Mellon rates, whereas the CO.
