The election has attracted consider
able interest outside the district, some

barometer for 1892 The entrance OF
Collins into the race, however, has
complicated the situation, and politi-

now seems probable, the congfe2s which win be chosen ct tliet election is democratic, the Hoover adminis- tration might then be able to poitE with pride to the circumstance that 1t had avoided increasing the fax burden during the period of de- pression and would challenge the i1-I coming democrats to match that record. However, as close friend to the puresident as Mark Sullivan holds a tax increase by the next congress as very likely. He argues. as is perhaps natural in a writer whose loyalty to the president Is proof against anything the president
 might do, that congress will make such large appropriations that, de- spite the presidents desire, addi- tionaI taxes will be compelled.
 This suggests the usual alibi of the executive that congress is the wicked partner in government expenditures. The validity of such an argument is questionable at least, for, as Repre- sentative Oliver, of the house com. mittee on appropriations, recently presented there has not been a budget since the budget system was aCopted that was not cut down ma terially by congress. Aggregate ap-s propriations made by congress have been $413,O00,0 less than the budg- ct estimates submitted and approved by the White House. In the matter of the present administration, con- gress has appropriated $30,000,000 less than the president asked for the. conduct of the government.

Hoover And Mellon
 Differ On Taxation
Coming Session of Congress Faced With Ways and
 Means of Wiping Out Billion-DoIar Deficit

ently intend to demand that the na-
 tional revenue be increased by levy ing higher taxes on the big incomes;
 probably asking for progressive in-
 creases in proportion to the magni- tude of those incomes. Against any such procedure, Secretary Mellon, who is always assumed to speak for the administration on such matters, has invariably set his face.
 A democratic view, as expressed l by Senator Harrison, of Mississippi, is that. the people of the United States ar ealready in no shape to stand an increase in taxes. His view is that the treasury should take care
 of the deficit by the usual process of issuing short-term obligations, which he argues it could very readily do
 if the procedure laid down by con-
 gress for the retirement of the na- tional debt is observed. He points
 out that there would be no deficit
 had the treasury contented itself with the statutory provisions for
 debt retirement. Instead of confin- ing the sinking fund to approximate ly $400,000,000 a year which is set
 aside for this purpose, the treasury has in the past utilized whatever surpluses it had to further reduce
 the national debt, with the result
 that we are now seven years ahead
 of the arranged program.
 Where the standpat republicans will go as between the presidents
 declaration against any increase in taxes and the treasury's indicated
 demand for that very thing is an in- teresting question. The general sur-
 mise is, however, that before De-
 cember either the president will take
 heed of the Mellon philosophy or that the treasury officials will ex- plain that the Mills and Mellon speeches were merely academic dis
 cussions of the problem. The latter
 alternative appears the more prob able. With an election coming on, political expediency is more likely to
 guide the policy of the administra- tion than the Mellon philosophy. No administration relishes the idea of going into a campaign with an in- crease in taxes. Thi circumstance
 suggests, according to most of the
 skilled political observers in Wash | ington, that the treasury will tide over the deficit, probably with the expedient of short-term securities, until after the 1882 election. If, as
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-06-05

Washington.-Taxa plans and the indicated billion dollar deficit in the treasury appear to have re- duced the administration at Wash ington to a state of indeciaion and confusion comparable to that which existed during the tariff legislation a year ago. The presidents an- nouncement that there would be no increase in taxes unless the next congress appropriated more money than the administration budget estimate Is less than two months old. Yet, within the past few days both Secretary of the Treasury Mel lon and Undersecretary Mills have come out in speeches that hint broadly at either the re-imposition of such nuisance taxes as gasoline levies or a broadening of the base of the existing revenue act, which will eliminate the exemptions now in effect regarding small incomes. It seems evident that the president did not know what the department of the treasury had in mind, or that the secreatry and assistant secretary of the treasury did not regard MT Hoover's announcement as anything meriting particular attention.
 To be sure, Secretary Mellon does not make any fortnight demand for the reimposition of wartime ex- else taxes or taking away the ex- emptions from the smaller incomes. But when he devotes so much of his speech to a complaint that the 400,- coo rich people in this country pay 97 per cent of the total income tax and harks back to a warning of three years ago that too many ex- else taxes were being eliminated, the inference is obvious, even though the president ignored this line of reasoning when he told the country that there would be no increase in taxes.
 Indications are that the congress which assemblies in December will have rather a hectic time among the divergent and contradictory views of the executive branches of the government as to the proper method of handling the deficit, which to-day amounts to more than billion dollars.
