 Graduated Tax Denounced The secretary also denounced the graduated tax on corporations of small incomes proposed by the house, for which he said there was mo sound justification. This is done in the case of individuals. he said, because the incomes of individ- uals. generally speaking. "are a fair measure of their ability to pay taxes"

Similarly, he revised previous estimates to calcu- late on s40.000.000 more next year in back tax collections.
 More Expenditures
 But an increase of S5,000,000 in prospective expenditures for next year is where the trouble comes. the secretary explained. The increase is accounted for by additional appro- priations for the veterans bureau and navy and war departments, postal deficiency and an enlarged public buildings program.
 He estimated the surplus for this fiscal year, ending June 30, at $40o,- 000.o and for next year $212, 2,0oo,- 900, as compared with estimates of s454, 000,000 and s274, 100000, re- spectively. made last October. On the basis of the latter estimates the tax cut of so25, 100000 was recom- mended to the house last fall. While estimates on receipts for next year were revised to calculate decreases of s15,000.000 in customs collections and s10,545,0 900 in mis- cellaneous internal revenue. these were offset by prospective increases in Income tax and back tax receipts.

COMMUNIST PARTY ELECTION CAMP AGN FUND OF $1OOOO(


Both the Republican and Democratic Parties will
spend millions in the coming election campaign.
Hoover and Smith are the candidates of the Big Capt.
talists and Bankers Schwab and Morgan will give
support to both candidates The Wall Street Interests
the Coal Barons, Steel Barons, Oil Kings and other In
dustria Barons know that only the workers and poor
farmers will lose, that they will be the winners
whether Hoover or Smith is the next president of the
United States.
The Socialist Reverend Thomas will have his election
campaign chest filled by the small business man and
the professionals that make up the base of the petty
bourgeois Socialist Party 1t is true their chest will
not be very heavy for the nature of the petty
bourgeois soul is to everything by success and
they have no faith in their party and its standard
bearers as far as the results of the elections go.
The candidate who will receive the greatest favors
from the bankers and the big business interests will
be the candidate that will win the elections This has
been done since 1892 with only exception in 1916
when Wilson was reelected on the platform "He kept
us out of war;, only to expose the hypocrisy of the
Democratic Party and the Democrat Wilson few

into the war.
