ADDITIONAL TAX
GUT PLAN Of
DEMOCRATS
Leaders in Senate Would
Add $500, 900, 900 to
Re du elton.
BY FRASER EDWARDS
Universal Service staff Correspondent.

Shi'ti s'cfhtsc ctahA NOtFCcpouututs
WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. O.
An additional tax reduction of nearly
5000, 100000 on top of the 1925, 100000
cut carried in the bipartisan revenue
bill passed by the House, will be the
feature of the Democratic plan offered
in the Senate, it was learned today.
Coupled with this added reduction,
which will be presented to the Senate
finance committee by Senator Jones
of New Mexico, when consideration of
the tax bill begins on Monday, is a
program for retiring the public debt
within 43 years.
The plan is revival Of the amend
ment offered by Jones to the 1924 rev.
enuc law, which was rejected. Under
it reductions of the funded debt would
be limited to the amount of the treas
ury sinking fund and would require
the treasury to credit against the
sinking fund all foreign debt payments.
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1926-01-02
WOULD REPEAL TAXES.

Jones estimated that under his plan
upwards of 5000, 100000 would be re-
leased at once for tax reduction and
that the entire debt of $40, 500, 100000
would be wiped out in 43 years. There
is no necessity of extending the debt
retirement over the 62-year period pro-
vided in the foreign debt settlements,
according to Jones.
If this plan is accepted by the Sen
ate, Jones pointed out that it would
then be possible to repeal the remain
ing automobile taxes, admission taxes,
the capital stock tax and other misccl-
laneous levies. The treasury is op-
posed to any further cuts because it
wishes to continue the present rapid
debt retirement program and avoid a
deficit.
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1926-01-02
SOUNDER POLICY.

The Democratic program will meet
with vigorous opposition from the adj
ministration forces in the Senate. SEN
ator Smoot of Utah, chairman of the
Senate finance committee, contends
that the administration theory of pay
ing off the debt rapidly, within %
or 80 years, is a sounder policy and
predicts that it will prevail.
Senator Norris of Nebraska served
notice today that he will continue his
fight for publicity of federal income
taxes, which was eliminated in the
House bill.
Citing the revelations Of the Couz-
ems committee, which made an ex-
haustive investigation of the internal
revenue bureau as an illustration of
the results of secrecy in government
matters" Norris expressed confidence
that the Senate is not going to vote
for secrecy in government .:ffairs in
the face of this record"
Secrecy meant the giving to the
United States Steel Corporation of
about S21, 100000 in tax refunds" de-
clared Norris.
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1926-01-02
STOPPED RAID.

II understand that the publicity of
this investigation committee stopped
that raid on the treasury.
IL am told that during 1922, 1928,
1924 and 1925 refunds of one kind
or another to big corporations of some
thing like $1,500,000,000 have taken
place. / understand a large number
of these refunds were frauds on the
government.
Secrecy thus permits and causes
this just tax to be lifted from the big
corporations and big taxpayers and
saddled on the backs of those less able
to pay.

This gentleman belonged to one of the

worse SCENERY
THAN ROAD SIGNS

The Chandler Arizonan thinks Ari-
iona newspapers are overworiing the
proposition of removing advertising
SIGNS from the highways and offers
some suggestions that sound reason
able II says, in part:
Now we do not object to a cam
spaign against roadway signs. In fact,
vro think it would be an excellent
thing to have them destroyed-in
aosne places, but in others they hide
growth Of weeds. grass. brokendown
fences and other things far more un-
slightly than the signs themselves.
Roadway signs are not an orna-
ment to any communicating they are
not one-millionth the menace to pas
seTs-by as is the straw horse or COW
which roans the public thoroughfare
nt will They do not look nearly SO
nnbeconnng as does a Ford coupe, oc-
cupied by high school boy and girl
narlnd by the side of the road with
the lights turned cut at eleven o'clock
ia the evening. They do not give the
tourist so bad an impression as does

II fact while we are not in favor Of
these SIGNS, we do think there are a
thousand and one things which de-
nand the attention OF the press and
public much more.

one introduced earlier in the session,

compact by any six of the seven
states affected Representative Hay

bill probably would be amended fur
