MELLON IS AGAINST
SENATE TAX PLAN
Secretary Opposes Nickel
lars Proposed Amendment
Regarding Impost Refunds.
BY the Associated Press.

~ HS EACSSs
Secretary Mellon again finds himself
in opposition to legislation pending In
the Senate.
The Senate had before it today Sena-
tor Mckellar's proposed amendment to
the first deficiency bill, which would
place the settlement of tax refunds in
excess of $4,000 with the board of
tax appeals rather than the Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue. The Senate
also had before it Secretary MELONS
letter In which he gave his reasons for
opposing McKellar's proposal.
Mcclellan In a speech on the pending
amendment said that the Treasury IS
the sole arbiter Of claims and declared
tnat this opens the door to unlimited
returns and makes it imperative that
the discretion of the Commissioner OF
Internal Revenue be subjected to re-
vision by another body.
In his letter Mellon asserted that the
tennessee Senator's proposal would
seriously affect the tax law machinery.
These tax refunds" Mcclellan declar-
ed including credits, during the last
eight years have amounted to between
four and five hundred million a wear
They are in the nature of favors granted
special taxpayers. Those who are on
the inside know how to get the returns.
The way 1t is being conducted Il

at the time OF Senator McKellaris
speech. but in it he said: mo proof

istration. corruption OF improper prac-

laws Of the District can be evaded and
set at naught by circumvention is put
up to the District Court of Appeals in
a brief filed today by Assistant United

GUS interest on money not advanced,
but, it is claimed, retained in advance
by the money lender as a discount"

he asked an accounting and injunction
to stop the sale, and noted an appeal.
He obtained a writ of superSedeas,
which defers sale until the appellate
court acts in the matter.

money lenders who evade the law by
charges under the guise Of discounts
and commissions" and has announced
he will investigate for lawyers and lay
men the legal phases OF any case of
alleged usury brought to his attention.
