Income Tax Secrecy
Opposed by Norris

Washington, Jan. Senator Nor
fis gives notice that he will combat
repeal of the publicity section oi
| the income tax law.
The tax bill. with It's reveal psovI'
sion of the publicity ciaue, was
passed by the house, but the Norris
declaration indicates that fight
awaits IL in the senate.
The Nebraska lawmakef insists that
the cry for secrecy OF income tax re-
turns is simply demand on the part
OF interested millionaires to avoid
tax payments. lie will insist on great
or publicity. The special senate com
mittee of which Senator Couzens In
chairman. he said. has already shown
that "big business" through secrecy
OF the internal revenue bureau, has
been able TO avoid the payment OF
many millions Of dollars and that the
manipulation in the bureau continues,
He charge sthat secrecy meant givs
ing 10 the steel trust about S2l ,Ooo,-

ny Of California, about s3I0OO,oOo,
and that the treasury has so handled

ny that the cases of that concern OF
1916 are not yet closed.
Senator Norris denied that any evil
dence has been produced To show harm
or injury by the present adequate
publicity provision. He said that an
extension of this unlimited publicity
would increase the revenue of the gov
ernmenl by many thousands Of dol
lars and save abuses.
There will be full discussion In
the senate Of these conditions" he
said, "and we will know just what we

ate Is not going 10 vote for secrecy IN
