DEMOCRATS TO
BAR TAXING OF
LITTLE FELLOW
Serve Notice on Mellon of
How They Regard I'm
pending Boosts.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2O.-Demo.
Gratis served notice today they would
oppose any attempt to increas,
taxes on the little fellow"
This was the way they met Treas.
ury Secretary Andrew MELONS pro.
posal for increased normal taxes
lowering Of exemptions to make
more people pay taxes and a "se.
lective' sales tax which, among
other things, would levy on such
"semi-luxuries" as automobiles ano
radios. Mellon wants to raise q
billion dollars to balance the budget
The Mellon program, which also
includes some Increases in surtaS
rates on large incomes, has been in
dorsed by several senate administra-
ton leaders, though house Repub-
lican leaders, for the most part
have declined to commit themselves
definitely thus far.
The latter, however, generally are
acquiescent in a tax rise as neces-
sary to balance the budget.
10 originate IN House
The tax bill must originate in the
house, and within the next few
days leaders there, both Democratic
and Republican, are expected to
develop the general outlines of their
plans.
The man who will be chairman of
the house ways and means commit
tee if Democrats organize, Repre-
sentative James w. Collier, (Miss)
made it plain that he would fight
any program which increased taxes
on the small taxpayer. He regards
the "selective" sales tax as in this
class, along with increased normal
tax rates and broadening of the
tax based by lowering exemptions.
He said the larger incomes should
bear the brunt of the increase. But
he was careful, as are other Demo-
cratic leaders, to emphasize that
they do not intend to put an undue
burden upon wealth, business or in
dustry.
Representative John N. Garner,
. (Dem., IeX), prospective speaker,
has refused to disclose his hand on
q tax program.
Drafted Like 1924 Act
The Mellon program is drafted
a.ong lines of the 1924 revenue act,
which if followed would provide
normal rates of per cent on the
figst $4,000 taxable income, 4 per
cent on the next $4,000 and per
cent above that. Present normal
rate are IL, and 5, respectively
Exemptions of the 1924 law were
81 900 for single persons and $1,000
for married persons. Present ex-
emptions are $500 and $4,000.
The White House denied that
President Hoover had any specified
"tax program" but any one who has
spent any time in the treasury these
days knows with what industry and
diligence Mellon and his experts
have been formulating their views
for presentation to congress when
called upon.
Definite expression of the admin
STATIONS attitude may be expected
early next week, it was intimated
at the White House.
