Secretary Mellon Advises House
Committee How to Reduce
Income Taxes
By EDWARD w. PICKARD

n PENING its hearings of tax re-
~ vision plans, the house commit
tee on ways and means first called on
Secretary Mellon to tell what the
Treasury department thought would be
a safe reduction of income taxes ana
how it should be made. The heaviest
cut advised by the secretary is in sur
taxes, now paid on net incomes in eX-
cess of $4,000. He argues that re-
duction of surtaXes will divert invest
ment from tax-free securities to In
dustrial and commercial enterprises;
that more business will make more
profits and more profits will make
more tax revenue, and then it will be
possible to reduce taxes again.
Summarized, Secretary Melons pro-
posals are:
/. Reduction Of taxes in the aggre-
gate to the extent Of from $250,000,OO0
to $500, 100000.
2. Reduction of normal taxes to l
per cent, per cent, 3 per cent, and )
per cent, instead Of 2 per cent, 4 per
cent and per cent
3. Reduction Of surtaxes to a mini
mum of 20 instead of the existing ~
per cent.
4. Surtaxes to begin at l per cent at
$4,000 instead of $4,000, and run up
20 per cent above $150000 instead Of
40 per cent above $509,OOO
s. Elimination of the 20 per cent
seduction on earned income.
g.. Reduction of and eventual repeal
of the estate tax.
7. Repeal of the gift tax.
8. Retention of the taxes on admis-
sions and on passenger automobiles.
O. Repeal of the taxes on trucks,
tires and accessories
TO- Repeal of the taxes on art works
and several other minor imposts.
II. Repeal of the provision for pub
licity Of tax payments.
II Enlargement of the board of tax
appeals.
Mr.. Mellon told the committee that
although the soldier bonus will cost
$10OOOO,O00 more than was estimated
Tax I6NcuuS dISO ANAOooCu anu
there will be approximately a $29O,OOO
600 surplus Oh July l, 1926 He guessed
the surplus would be from $3.50, 900
to $500, 100000 the following year, so
it would be safe to reduce taxes that
much.
Next day representatives Of the Ma
tional Association Of Manufacturers
appeared before the committee and
made suggestions substantially in ac-
cord with those of Mr. Mellon. The sec
retary's plan was supported also by 90
representatives of Iowa tax clubs, who
asserted the sentiment in their state
was strongly for the administrations
advocacy of repeal of the federal
estate tax. A similar group from Texas
said the same for that state. Chair
man Green of Iowa and Representa-
tive Garner of Texas, ranking minority
member of the committee, both favor
retention of the federal estate tax, and
both refused to admit that the tax
club men fairly represented the senti-
ment in their respective states.

Licking More Honest
-:
WITH
APOLOGIES

A comparison of the money
On deposit in the various coun-
ties of the state and the amount
given in for taxation, places
Licking way up in the forefront
among those making the more
nearly honest report.
1t would appear that those
counties in which the large cities
are located contain the greatest
number of tax-dodgers, who for
get to list their intangible prop
erty when the assessor shows
up.
The official report of the Joint
Legislative Committee on Econ
omy and Taxation gives the fol-
lowing figures on money on de-
posit in the banks and the
amount reported for taxation:
Cuyahoga (Cleveland) 1,O81,-
61O,684, returned $9,877 APO.
Franklin (Columbus) $312,-
89O,7O7, returned $6,112,3O6;
Hamilton (CincinnatD S424,-
l14.455, returaed $6,685, 1886.
Lucas (Toledo) 211,73O,294'
returned $4,377,9
Richland (Mansfield) 'S29,-
272,664, returned $3.50, ,485.
Muskingum (Zanesville) $26,-
836,942, returned $2,767, $40.
While Licking county having
$22, ,99O,69O deposited in banks
and building associations is hon
est enough to report $3,669, $40
to the assessor.
These figures represent actua'
cash money and do not include
anv other form of intangible
property, and it may readily be
seen that the smaller places are
paying taxes on a larger per-
centage of buried treasure than
are their larger neighbors.
It is estimated that all the IN
tangible property in Ohio escap-
ing taxation amounts to more
than ten billion dollars.
While there is opposition 10
the proposed taxation amend
ment from various sources, II
would appear that the friends OF
a practical equalization OF taxes
have the best Of the argument.

In New Quarters

The Newark Trades Assembly
has moved to new, better and
more cOmmOdiOus quarters, and
now occupies the entire upper
floor just above it's former rooms,
recently vacated by the business
college.
This change was deemed advis-
able as it assured strict privacy
at all times, and added largely to
ability to accommodate some of
the larger Locals which at times
were cramped for space.
Come around and see your new
home.

debt to the United States, the Pain
leve cabinet rejected the plan when
it was formally presented to it by
Finance Minister CaillauX. 1t was
then announced semi-OffiCially that
within a few days the government
would submit TO the American debt
funding commission through the
French ambassador to Washington
new proposals for dealing with the
whole debt, What these will be could
not be learned but as CaiIlaux was
severely criticized for offering as much
as he did, it is believed the new pro
posals will be even less acceptable to
our commission than were those for
merly rejected by it. Some of the
finance minister's critics said he did
not mean to make an offer that he
seriously expected America to accept,
but was simply arranging matters so
that when parliament assembled he
could say that negotiations were con-
tinuing, avoiding confession that his
debt settlement intentions had failed
President COolidge's stand that
France need not expect any further
loans in America until she funds her
debt is backed up by the leading bank
ers, including President Mitchell of
the National City bank and Dwight
Morrow of j. p. Morgan < Company.
1t is known France wishes soon to bor-
row at least $100,0O0,O00 in Wall street
to stabilize her currency on a gold
basis. After a conference with the
President Wednesday, Mr.. Mitchell
said to the reporters ANY large loan
to France under the circumstances
could be made only on faith, hope and
charity"
He went on to explain that it would
be necessary to ask the American
people to subscribe to any loan to
France that might be obtained in Wall
street, and with the credit of France
impaired by her failure to fund her
debts and stabilize her finances,
American subscribers would be invest
ing in the loan as a flyer in the above
virtues.

More Motor Vehicles

approximately 1900 more motor We
hicles were licensed in Arkansas in
1924 than in 1923, according to figures
compiled by the state Highway Depart
ment In 1923 registration was 1885,
600. That for 1924 was 1901, with
figures from four counties incom-
plete for the last two months of the
year.
The Harrelson highway law during
the first full year of operation netted
the state $4,S39,657 for road purposes.
OF this amount $2,415,529 was from
the gasoline and motor oil tax of four
and 10 cents per gallon, respectively,
and S2,424, ,127 was from motor licenses.
These figures do not include S1S5727
which was refunded TO users of gaso-
line for nOn-taxable purposes, such as
in tractors, stationary gasoline engines
and other ways not involving use of
the highways.
The state received last year 81 ,544,
523 in federal aid money, making a
total of $6,3S4, ,23O paid into the state
treasury for highway purposes.
The tabuation in Sundays Gazette
showed that in 1924 Randolph county
had 1,2OS automobiles. The gasoline
and oil tax gathered in this county
amounted to $39,399, Of which $2O,22O
was returned here for road purposes.
