Senate Military Affairs Committee.
His views also were in opposition to
those Of Senate Republican leaders, in
Guiding Watson of Indiana. who is op-
posed to any tax revision next session.
Reed also warned against any further
inroads on the Treasury by the veterans
through additional cash payments on
their bonus certificates.

Navy cut below the danger point l

Other Taxes Held Just.
Reed made clear he was against any
modification downward of the inheri-
lance or estate tax, describing it as a
just levy. However, he disagreed with
the Republican independents who would
seek greater distribution of wealth
through higher income taxes.
Il believe he asserted. that We
have reached the point of getting the
best returns out Of the incomes on the
rates We now have. If we put the rates
higher the rich simply will evadu them
and there is no way out of it >
To get more returns on the income
taxes from the rich, Reed advocated
adjustment of the capital gain and-loss
tax. He said the rich were deprivine
the Government of enormous sums
through the provision allowing deduc-
ton of capital losses in the computation
Of their incomes
Reed said he would apply the sales
tax upon all commodities. He esti-
mated such tax would bring in at
least half of the present expenditures OF
the Government, or about $4,000, 100000
a year.
He said he would make this tax a
permanent part of the Federal revenue
system rather than merely an emer-
gency measure to meet the prospective
81 ,000,0 100000 deficit in the Treasury
for next year.
Treasury Dilemma Cited.
"The present dilemma of the Treas
ury," said the Pennsylvania, illus
trateS the unwisdom OF having a very
narrow tax basis. We have been trying
to get our Federal revenue out of one
half of per cent of the population.
We are doing this on the theory of tax
ing those best able to bear the burden.
But as a matter of fact we haven't
actually reached that group. 1t isn't
the rich man who is actually paying
the tax, but it is the big Garner. it is
not the capitalist, but it Is the success
full engineer or doctor and worker whom
We are taxing.
1.-THE capitalist had no trouble at all
in minimizing his burden. The moment
money earning diminishes as in the
present depression the whole bottom
falls out of the income tax. The results
show it is necessary for tax revision
rather than for a tax increase"

two drew gun and ordered him to pull
up anchor, and head for the Connecti-

While the main tracks of the railway
cross building sites at both G and D
streets, between Twelfth and Thirteenth
streets, in the triangle, there is also a
freight spur track which runs through
another building site, on Thirteen-and-
a-Half street, at Constitution avenue.
On this site there will be erected the
Department of Labor. for which an eX-
cavation and foundation contract has
already been let. What will be done
about this piece Of spur track on the
building site has not yet been deter
mined.
Work Will Be Complicated.
Excavation and foundation work for
the Post Office Department will not
only be more complicated by the rail-
way tracks crossing the site, but it will
be considerably more expensive.
This additional cost, it was pointed
out today, would probably be taken into
consideration in any final adjustment
Of the amount due May for the rail-
way.
Plans for the new Post Office Depart
ment have been ready for long time,
and it was announced at first that this
structure would be among the first OF
the second great group of Federal struc-

Delay in this building has been largely
cue to the tie-up over the railway.
May appeared determined today to
protect his property rights in the char

Government planned to go forward as
