TAX PLAN IS
GIVEN OUT
BYlL. 6.
Melons Program includes
Repeal of Publicity Clause
In Law
By H. X. REYNOLDS

q
The Administrations tax pro-
gram, which will be suggested to
Congress at the request of the
Senate Finance and House Ways
and Means Committees, was made
public officially today at the
Treasury.
Secretary Of the Treasury Mel
Ion outlined the plan to visitors.
The salient points are:
Repeal of the publicity clause
of the revenue act.
Heavy reduction of the surtax
on big incomes.
Legislation to curb the issuance
of tax-exempt securities.
Elimination or reduction of the
estate taxes.
No Cut and Dried Tax Bill
Mellon made it clear. that he will
not submit a concrete, cut and
dried tax bill for enactment by
Congress. He said that an outline
Of what the Treasury thinks should
be enacted will be explained to the
Congressional committees and that
the details will be left to general
discussion.
Repeal of the publicity clause is
considered OF paramount Importance
I.ry oil L 1nt
ments against making everybody's
personal business public property
have been so we'll aired and are so
universally approved that further
pleas appear unnecessary.
In Melons opinion the drive
toward curbing issuance of tax.
exempt securities is a live issue in
the preparation of a permanent
revenue plan.
Survey TAX Exempts"
I'm the interest of uniformity Of
tax system, it is desirable and
essential that some limitation be
placed upon the indiscriminate issu-
ance OF securities which bear no
tax" an official said in explaining
Melons position.
The Treasury has started a sur
just how much taxes could be re-
duced in the future should this
form of security be abolished. About
$13, 900 900. 900 in tax exempt bonds
are outstanding.
For Mellon 1t was pointed out
that legislation cannot affect the
outstanding tax exempts.' For
this reason a constitutional amend
ment, by which the alleged economic
evil must be reached, could not be
effective from the standpoint OF
Government revenue for several
years.
To Put Dollars to Work
Mellon admitted that he was mot
sure that a legislative remedy can
be found" It was indicated, how.
ever. that determined steps will be
taken by the Administration to
steer billions of idle dollars into
channels productive both from the
standpoint OF business and Govern.
mental revenue.
1t was understood Mellon and
| other Treasury officials will appear
before the Ways and Means and
Finance Committee of the House
| and Senate next month.
Little Opposition Expected
Indications today pointed to com.
narrative harmony between Congress
sional and Administration leaders
in the preparation of the new rev.
enue act. Chairman Green of the
| Ways and Means Committee, has
his opposition to the repeal of the
estate tax while some Senators an!
Representatives still oppose heavy
reduction of the surtax.

TREASURE SHIP
IS BATTLING
DIVERS
TrawIer Spray to Make An
other Attempt to Get Gold
From Merida
BY international News Service:

NORFOLK. Va, Sept. 10.-Witp
a disheartened and discouraged crew
aboard her, the trawler Spray,
loaded with supplies, is expected
to return to the scene of the
wrecked Ward liner Merida, forty
miles off the Virginia capes, some
time today, and resume her efforts
at recovering the $1,000 600 in gold
aboard her.
Though the trawler has been at
the scene of the wreck all summer,
the divers are no nearer the Mer-
ida's treasure than they were last
June, members of the crew state.
Operations will have to stop with
the advent of the equinoctiAl storms
in a few days, and. men aboard
the treasure hunting ship say this
will be the last effort until new
methods in deep sea diving are de-
veloped.
There Is gossip among the crew
of the Spray to the effect that the
gold in the Merida was carried
away by the powerful gulf stream
current when the liner sank FOUR
teen years ago. The great gAping
hole torn in the Merida, when she
received her death thrust in col
lision with the Admiral Farragut,
left all the wealth aboard her to
the mercy of the sea, the men say.
And the costly effort to salvage the
great treasure is the widest kind
of a wild goose chase, many believe.

The Deutsches Zeitung, which is

opened a series of articles upon
the question of war guilt. with the
article signed by the former Kaiser.
The ex-kaiser, in his article,
makes the direct charge that Great

mission to Europe in the early part
Of 1914, and declares that the OBJ

creating of an alliance between. the

Great Britain killed this attempt
at an alliance because at that time

conclude a naval treaty with Rus

He further states that Great
