HEARST PAPERS
SPONSOR TAX
GUT PLEA

NEW YORK, Dec. 7. 49, The
gigantic petition of more than
100000 signatures being pre-
sented to Congress in Washing
ton today urging the national
legislators to reduce the tax rates
on earned incomes, commissions
and fees, is the result Of the
efforts of the nationwide cam
paign conducted by the Hearst
newspapers. The campaign began
with an imposing gathering Of
prominent persons at City Hall,
New York city, on March 4.
In the metropolitan area alone
298,834 men and women have
signed the petitions. During the
campaign, organizations having
more than 100000 members
have by resolutions voted their
support to this great drive.
Huge Organization
In this movement political bar
riers were swept aside, capitalists
and labor officials, members of
the professional classes and OF
the laboring clasSeS-aH united
to make this campaign a success.
Some Of the country'S largest
business firms offered the use OF
their facilities for the diStribu-
ton Of the Sign and Save" petl-
tions. More than 1000 educators
representing several score OF the
country'S leading universities I'M
euuivocably Endorsed the move
ment and gave enthusiastic in
terviews in it's behalf. y
Because the income tax law
affects them more than the mem
berS of any other profession,
theatrical perSonages and groups
were among the first to rally
to the cause. The Actors Equity,
the National Vaudeville Artists
Association, and allied organiza-
tons eagerly signed the petitions
100 per cent.
Widely Supported
Architects, engineers, doctors,
dentists, lawyers and musicians
were equally represented by their
respective local and national or
CARNATIONS. These included the
New York Architectural Club,
the American Institute of Archi-
tects, the Beaux Arts Association,
the American Society of Com
poSerS, Authors and Publishers,
the American Society of Civil
Engineers, the Allied Dental AS
ISOLATION, the Eastern Medical
