FIGHT WAGES OVER
TAXES OR CREDITS
Democrats and G. O. P. indie
pendents Oppose Plan for
Levy on Sales.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Determined opposition to the sales
tax proposal of Senator Reed, Re-
publican, of Pennsylvania, had arisen
yesterday from both Democrats and
Republican independents.
However, the issue of whether to re-
wise taxes or borrow more money to
balance next years budget was still
raging, and there was every likelihood
that it would be settled only when
Congress meets.
President Hoover and Secretary
Mellon, whose word will go a long way
in determining the tax dispute, are
going to wait until Congress meets in
an effort to get last-minute informa-
ton on the trend of Government in
come and prospective expenditures.
Harrison in Opposition.
Senator Harrison of Mississippi, the
ranking Democrat on the Finance
Committee, speaking through the DEM
ocratic National Committee, has de-
clared not only against tax revision
but specifically against the sales tax
If there must be a revision.
Senator CaraWay, Democrat Of Ar
kansas. joined in that view, asserting
the sales tax proposal was IAN attempt
to shift the burden of Government
from those who have means to those
who need"
Republican independents. likewise,
have declared unequivocally against the
sales tax.
With Senator Watson of Indiana, the
party pilot, and the Democrats stand
ing firmly against tax revision, it was
believed President Hoover and his
Treasury chief would weigh carefully
all elements before recommending such
action.
Viewed More Favorable.
The program advanced by Repre-
sentative Bachrach of New Jersey, high
ranking Republican on the Ways and
Means Committee, was viewed more
favorably..
He proposed that rates on incomes
above 100000 be increased over the
present 20 per cent fat levy: that the
estate tax be boosted; a gift tax re-
stored and sales taxes be levied on
''luXurieS and non-eSSentials."
This program comedies to a great
extent with that suggested by Senator
Couzens of Michigan, a Republican
member of the Finance Committee, and
by other Republican independents.

1t is difficult for those OF Us who live on the border

Rogers Caldwell. once the financial idol Of Tenn
essee and widely known in investment circles the
country over, was convicted by a criminal court jury
of fraudulent breach Of trust and his punishment was
fixed at not more than three years in the state peni-
Tertiary. Caldwell Is running mate OF Col Luke Lea,
a former United States senator, publisher Of impor-
tant Tennessee newspapers. and a financial Napo-
leon who was wrecked when the financial crash came
in 1929. There are many indictments IN federal and
state courts pending against Lea and Caldwell. They
are the close personal and political friends OF Gov.
Horton OF Tennessee who narrowly escaped impeach-
ment. They gambled for millions; they lost. Truth Is
