MELLON AGAIN IN
 OPPOSING. CAMP.
Agiiat Amendment to First
 Deficiency Bill in Senate

Washington, Jan. B R-Secre- tary Mellon again finds himself in opposition to legislation pending Tn the senate.
 The senate had before 1t today Senator Mckellar's proposed amend ment to the first deficiency bill. which would place the settlement of tax refunds in excess of s1o.ooO with the board of tax appeals rath- CT than the commissioner of inter nal revenue. The senate also had before 1t Secretary Melons letter in which he gave his reasons for opposing Mckellar's proposal.
 McKellar in a speech on the pend ing amendment said the treasury Is the sole arbiter of claims and de- clared that this opens the door to unlimited returns and makes it im- rerative that the discretion of the commissioner of internal revenue be subjected to revision by another body.
 Affect Law
 In his letter Mellon asserted that
  would seriously affect the tax law machinery: would increase the work ot the board of tax appeals and would turn that board into a body having purely administrative powers.
 These tax refunds" Mckellar declared, including credits, during the last eight years have amounted to between four and five hundred millions a year. They are in the na- turs of favors granted special tax payers. Those who are on the in- side know how to get the returns.
 Tho way 1t is being conducted, k is really 8 species of graft, ob- tained in secret. bartered for in secret, the money paid in secret and with senate and house committees douted when they ask for informa- tton."
 Secretary Melons letter sent to Chairman Shoot vr the senate finance committee. had not been made public at the time of Senator McKellar's speech but in it he said: ''No proof has been offered to show any improper payments"
 There is no evidence of malad- ninistration, corruption of improper practices" he continued. There is Hothing to indicate that the present machinery is not functioning smooth ly and with adequate protection 10 the interests of the country. Why, then, when it has been determined that . taxpayer has paid more than he ought should he be compelled to wait three years in order to have his case reviewed by a semi-judicial body?
 The real issue is whether the in- come tax is to be administered by the executive branch of the govern- ment in accordance with every pre- cedent and every sound principle of judgment or is to be turned over to the judicial branch. have no hesitation in prophecying that the latter. course spells the complete breakdown of the income tax. Any tax that cannot be administered save by means of litigation and court de- cision cannot long survive"
