dan TO SUBMIT
TAX QUESTION
Announcement Indie a t e $
Whole Gamut Of Taxa
ton Measures
By BROOKS

AUSTIN, April 28.-Gov. Dan
Moody's announcement that he will
submit the subject Of revenue and
taxation and the state tax survey
commissions report to the legisla-
ture, indicated the whole gamut Of
taxation measures, from an income
tax to. increased gasoline sales
taxes. will be opened up by this
session, probably this week.
The commissions report advo-
Gates an income tax, greater and
more varied occupation, production
and severance levies, and the re-
duction and gradual abandonment
of the advalorem property tax.
Meantime numerous mystery
tax bills are rumored in prepara-
ton.
Increased production taxes on oil
and sulphur were suggested by
Sen. A. j. Wirtz in open discussion
during the past week.
Gov. Moody's statement he will
send up the revenue and taxation
subject apparently indicated it will
go to the session early this week,
thus giving the house Of repre-
SentativeS much work to do since
all revenue measures must originate
in the house.
The governor significantly omit
ted naming the appropriations bills
along with the revenue-raising
measures.
Rep. t. N. Mauritz of Ganado is
having four tax bills drawn by the
attorney generals department, he
said. He has not revealed what new
taxation would be imposed by them.
IL is known that a bill will be
offered raising the gasoline sales
tax from the present two to four
cents. Along with this will be
several bills to reduce the motor
license registration fees and to in
crease the share of proceeds from
the fees to smaller counties.
Luxury" taxes have been sug-
gested intangibly by several mem
oers, but what measures NAV be
o11ered definining and levying
upon luxuries has not been dis
closed. The tax subject would adj
NIT projected measures such as tax
ing emigrant agents out of exist
ence and setting up a tax barrier
10 the extension of chain stores, as
mas been suggested by some mem
bers.

CBv The Associated Press

Wireless reports from two ocean
steamers today indicated the trans
Atlantic monoplane Yellow Bird was
faring we'll on its air road from the
United States to France.
The French line steamer Niagara
reported that s a.. m. New York
time. 1t vas in communication with
the plane and that all was well.
Three hours later the Cunarder La
coma picked up the plane by radio
and received the same encouraging
report.
The Niagara vas between 300 and
400 miles northeast Of the Azores
when she spoke to the Yellow Bird
and the Laconia was 700 northeast
Of the islands when she raised the
plane.
In neither instance did the yellow
Bird give her position, and as it has
a radio range Of 600 miles. its posi-
ton could not be accurately plotted
from the positions OF the steamers.
But an earlier report from the
French liner Rochambeau had said
the plane had decided TO take the
southern route by way Of the Azores
and Portugal. 50 il was supposed she
was somewhere between the Azores
and the mainland when she com
municated with the Niagara and the
Laconia.
The yellow Bird told the Roch-
ambeau it was taking the southern
course because Of an unexpected
high rate Of gasoline consumption.
From the fact that II made no men
ton Of its fuel supply in its later
communications. it was believed a
recheck Of the tanks had been re-
assuring.
AviatorS were at a loss TO explain
the Unexpectedly high consumption
Of fuel reported by the Rochambeau.
The Yellow Bird had been flown re-
peatedly in test flights and the rate
Of consumption was supposed to
have been definitely determined.
Weather reports indicated a fav-
orable wind had been encountered.
so strong head winds could not be
blamed.
One possibility considered in some
quarters was that the added weight
Of a stowaway ruElored to be on
board the plane had been enough to
upset the calculations on fuel con-
sumption and cause the engine 10
burn more than the expected
amount.

CREAGER HITS
BACK AT IOWAN
Denies Charges Made By
Brookhart In Speech
To Upper House

Denying that he is conducting "a
campaign Of coercion" among fed
eral officeholders in Texas. as
charged in a speech by Senator
Brookhart Of Iowa Thursday. r.. p.
Creager. republican national COM
mitteeman, today sent the senator
a telegram refuting his assertions.
The message follows:
Taking refuge in your usual
cowardly manner behind senatorial
immunity you yesterday attacked
me in a speech in the senate. You
said that I am now putting on a
campaign of coercion among fed
eral officeholders to compel them
to contribute politically and that I
practically warn these officeholders
that If they do not contribute
there will be no more offices.
These statements are delib-
erately and maliciously false. You
have in the records Of your COM
mittee testimony Of the forty-nine
persons holding the forty-nine
PRINCIPAL federal offices in Texas
including all Of the poStmasters OF
the first class. all United States
marshals. United States attorneys.
collectors of customs. and collec-
tors Of internal revenue. testifving
that no coercion has ever been
brought to bear upon them directly
or indirectly to compel them to con-
tribute to any political fund: nur-
thermore that no one OF them has
ever heard Of such coercion being
brought 10 bear upon any other
federal official in this state. These
are honorable men and women and
their testimony must be believed.
You heard in person and under
oath thirty odd Of the leading citi-
zens az Texas testify to the high
standing and reputation Of the re-
publican organization in Texas and
Of its responsible leaders. All Of
these are men whose names are
known and respected throughout
Texas. They included democrats
and republicans. lawyers. preachers,
doctors. business men. bank presl-
dents. a president OF a college. an
ex-governor. the editor or a lead
ing newspaper.
You had an opportunity to cross
examine these men. Each and all
testify 70 the proper. decent and
honorable manner In which ap-
nointments to federal office are
handled In Texas. There IS no
Scinti'la of evidence in vniI- rnc-
ords to suDnort the charge YOU
make. In March we submitted 10
your committee the financial rec
ords Of our Dallas statewide head
quarters. These records in utmost
detail give the names and addresses
Of every person who has contrib
uted any amount whatsoever to-
ward III headquarters fund during
the last eight years.
These records show when. how
and for what purpose every cent So
collected was subsequently expend-
ed. Aside from hearsav usually
twice removed no particle of FL
dence has been adduced before Wv,
committee rejecting in the Sigh
est degree upon the republican or
ganization of Texas. You have
made assertions without any evil
dence whatsoever to support them
but with all Of the evidence to the
contrary. therefore the only word
with which to appropriately de-
scribe you IS a short and ugly one
