GOUzENS AND MELLON
CONTINUE SHAM BATTLE
TO BLIND TAXPAYERS

Observation-Disclosures in a
sharp letter to Senator Couzens,
Michigan, Secretary Of the Treasury
Mellon today declared that Couzens
could theorize all he pleased. but that
the fact is indisputable that high
surtaxes are driving capital out Of
business into idleness.
Melons letter was the latest In a
series being exchanged between him
and Couzens in which they, two Of
the richest men in the country, are
debating the merits Of the Mellon
tax plan, particularly its provisions
for lowering surtaxes on big in
comes.
Couzens declares this is a scheme
to relieve the very rich Of paying
taxes.
Mellon says present taxes are driv-
ing money into tax free securities,
and are hurting business and gov
eminent revenues.
Melons letter today was in reply
to one Couzens wrote him Jan. IS.
In his last letter, Couzens said
Mellon had been forced to abandon
his position regarding high surfaces.
This Mellon denied today.
