TAX ON $4,000 INCOME,
OR LESS IS opposed
Senator Ralston Asserts Proposal
Would Put Cost of War
on Wealthy. \
$s2,75o,0oo TREASURY LOSS
Revenue, However, Night Still Be
Cut 100000, 900, He Says.

Speaking in the Senate chamber for
as Indiana's junior senator. Samuel
M. Ralstop, democrat, in two-hour
discussion of taxation yesterday.
urged that all provisions for taxing
incomes of less than $1,000 be stricken
from the income tax law. At the con-
clusion of his address democratic
senator's surrounded and congratu-
lated him on his discussions.
Senator Ralston gave 1t as his
opinion that property should bear
heavier burdens of taxation, particu-
larly the expense of war. If there
must be war.
Able to Tax Rich Now.
$50 far as this country is concern
ed," he declared, there is no need
for a constitutional amendment to In
auguratc the principle that in case or
war the cost of war shall be borne by
the wealth of the country and not by
the Drawn that defends the wealth.
You can write it into American law
forever. now and here, by simply
striking from the income tax law al
provisions for taxing incomes OF less
than $1,000.
That action. if taken, would make
a total reduction of income taxes OF
S92,IJ0, 900 and would leave over S2oV,-
00O, 900 of the Secretary's (Mellon)
$500, 600 900 possible reduction for the
Re duCtion of other taxes, the payment
of adjusted compensation to ex-serV-
ice. men. or for any other purpose to
which Congress may see nit to de-
vote il.
That action, moreover, would be
stronger than a constitutional pro-
vision. 1t would he written on the
hearts of the people and would never
be abandoned. If we are ever again
called to war it would be with the
assurance that the wealth of the
country would pay the cost of the
war, as it justly should"
Decrease in Taxpnyers.
In refere nee to the Mellon tax plan.
Senator Ralston contended that the
Treasury Secretary has confined his
analysis almost conclusively to the
uuestion of the reduction of income
taxes without sufficiently taking into
consideration the: decrease i'll the
number of taxpayers. There were
939.605 less persons paying income
taxes in 1921 than IN 1920 on the basis
of Secretary Melons figures, Senator
RalSton said
The cause for this "oNtraord1nary
decrease in the incomes of the peo-
pie" Mr.. Ralston said he was not COM
pletely certain of, but / venture the
opinion that it is largely due to the
present system Of taxing the masses
of the people for the benefit of ia
vored classes"
