MADDEN SEES TAX
CUT OF s35Q,0DO,o())
Would Repeal Inheritance
and Nuisance LevieS and
Lower Surtax.
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, September "A tax re-
-iction of $3.50, 200. 900 is in sight,
thinks Representative Martin B. Mad
den. Republican, Illinois, chairman of
the House appropriation committee.
He believes that 1t will be possible
to shave appropriations by $125 900, :
0oC and that the next Congress will do
il. The foundation of any tax reduc-
tons must he laid in moderate appro.
priatiors. he observed in connection
with an expression of his views on
Government finance today
Repeal of the Federal inheritance
taxes because the Government needs
live taxpayers. not dead estates" was
favored by Mr.. Madden, as well as a
reduction of the maximum surtax to

mo man who is required to pay
65 per cent of his income to the Gov
ernment is going to work very hard
to increase his income" he said, anent
the high SurtaX theory.
More money would be yielded to
the Government by a 10 per cent
surtaX than the present rate of 40
per cent. he is convinced. Reductions
already made and the moderation of
the tax on capital gains have proved
that lower rates mean more revenue
from the big incomes, he thinks.
The normal rate on incomes up to
$1,000 should be lowered to l per
cent; the maximum normal rate
should not exceed 5 or per cent
Mr.. Madden calls suicidal and de
structive to public interest in efficient
Government the total exemption of
small incomes.
Would Repeal Nuisance Levies.
Nuisance taxes, especially those
on theatrical admissions and automo =
biles, should be repealed he said
The motorfSt is already heavily
taxed, whereas the gasoline tax
levied by the States and applied to
highway construction is almost an
ideal form of automobile taxation.

taxes III proportion to his use of the
roads.

stroyed but estates are bankrupt

 Her face and voice were filled with laughing mockery. but ] stolldly took her at her word and tested pulse, temperature and res piration before going ahead with the typing. To my great relief l found all three normal and she laughed teasingly when l told her the results of my test.

 "Dear old Fuss Budget" she said tenderly, T hope you're satisfied"
 But there was note of impa- tience sounding through the tender ness, and I wasted no more time in solicitude, but. instead, sat down to the typewriter and laid my fingers upon the keys.
 You may fire when you are ready, Gridley." l quoted. and flash ing a relieved smile at me, Lillian began her dictation. It was not a long task and when we had finished we checked the copies three times before Lillian declared herself satis- fled that there was no single error.

 Exactly" she assented, Its no stuff for the telephone, anyway. How soon can you go?"
 "As soon as I get my hat and coat and start the car." I returned, and she smiled her approval of me.
 That's the girl" she said. But before you go just put all our copies of this stuff and the original card in an envelope and fasten it to my mattress underneath the bedcloth- ing. We'll need the copies later. for I'm going to have Allen confirm the message by telegraphing it back to us, or I destroy the whole thing. But l fancy it's safe enough pinned to the mattress.
