CHEERS ON TAX

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-Further
cheering over the new tax reductions
might as we'll be postponed for the
time being. There may have been
mistake A man who ought to
know something about the revenue
business, Representative William X.
Green of Iowa, chairman Of the
House Ways and Means Committee,
and an eyewitness to several previ-
Gus tav slashing brawls, says the re-
ductions went too low and taxes
may have to be raised next year.
He regarded the Senate bill as
wholly impossible and likely to make
a bond issue necessary so that Gov
ernment expenses could be met fully
during the coming fiscal year. But
III conference $90,000,000 to $780,
100000 in taxes was restored.
Cuts Too Big
Even then. in my judgment, the
amount of reductions is too large.
considering the additional demands
that will be made on our revenues
above the budget estimates" Green
said. ut may, therefore. be neces-
sary to increase taxation after the
expiration of a year, when it can
be determined more accurately
what our revenues will be. We will
not only need all that the estate
tax will bring but may be obliged
to raise the amount now provided
for by it and to obtain additional
revenues from other sources. For
this condition responsibility must
rest upon the Senate"
Bill Up Today
The tax bill comes up in the House
today for a motion to recomnit.
Green's statement will lead to an
aggressive demand that the bill be
sent back to conference with instruc-
tions to strike out the retroactive
feature Of the estate tax which af
fects the higher schedules. The mo
ton probably will be lost. however.
If it is. the bill as it now stands will
be finally approved by the House
Tuesday On Wednesday the Sen
ate will vote it's approval. The bill
should be signed by the end of the
week.

SEES AMERICA MESHED

Activity and Aggressive
Campaign of Public Alone
Can Save Nation From
ImperiaIistic Exploitation,
Senator Asserts.

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Feb. 22.-Carry-
ing to the people the promised
fight against American en-
trance into the world court,
Senator William E. Borah, ir-
reconciliable leader, today ap-
pealed to a George Washing
ton birthday meeting here to
resurrect the principles of the
first President.
There is nothing that can save
the policies Of Washington, nothing
can keep us out of being entangled
in all the turmoil of Europe, except
the activity and aggressive cam
paign of the people" Borah said.
I'VE are now before a tribunal
where they cannot put on cloture./
Member of League
1--WE are now committed to the
League of Nations in a most vital
particular. We are now the ad-
wiser and counsellor of the League.
We are a member of the legal de-
partment of the League.
I'VE refuse to join the League,
but we accept membership in one
tribunal which is a competent part
of the League and whose business
1t is to counsel with the League upon
all matters.
There is not a controversy in
Europe, legal or political, involving
a dynasty or an oil well, concerning
which the council may not call upon
the tribunal Of which we are a mem
Der for advice.
Our Government is a member Of
that tribunal. Yet in the Senate of
the United States today they will
read the farewell address Of George
Washington. If that departed spirit
could hold communication with men,
I fancy the father of our country
would say, this people honoreth me
with their lips but their hearts are
far from me-.
0uObcS GIOuSS
Il see by the press that Colonel
House says that now the court fight
is over it allows the leaders to re-
lease their efforts toward our en-
trance into the league
ut may be that some people think
this program means peace, but the
real forces which are putting us into
Europe are not misled. They pro-
pose to put our Government behind
the irnperialistic exploitation of
peoples wherever these peoples may
be found with natural wealth in their
possession"
Senator James A. Reed Missouri
Democrat, was also on the program
arranged by that faction of Chicago
Republicans headed by States At
