MADRID, May 25.-Although women

BILE for election for the first time in
June, as members of the new Constitu-
ent Assembly.
The provisional republican govern
ment has decreed that women and
priests may also be elected to the As
sembly. The male voting age has been
lowered from Is to % years. This adds
a considerable element to the republican
strength. for the youth Of Spain is
strong for the new order.
Woman Suffrage Foreseen.
Many observers think women will be
given the vote sooner or later, but there
is some opposition to it among the re-
publicans and also amcng the Socialists
and Communists. This is because some

downfall of the monarch.
The National Assembly elections will
be the second elections Spain has had
in eight years-since before the Primo
de Rivera dictatorship, which began in
1923. The new Assembly will be SPANS
first Parliament since before the die

more important than any similar body
the country has ever known. It's Job
will be to redraft the nations laws,
regulations and form of government. It
must make a new constitution and pass

such as the status of CATALONIA, the re-

COUzENS ASSA|LS
/ MELLON TAX TALK
Senator Says Address Was
"Attempt to Sustain Stand
Against Increase"
by the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
Secretary Melons discussion of taxes
was described today by Senator
Couzens, Republican, Michigan, as IAN
obvious attempt to sustain the evident
intention of the administration not to
have q tax increase at the next session
Of Congress"
Nothing can stand in the way of
the tax increase in the next session"
said Senator Couzens, who Is a mem
Der of the Finance Committee except
playing politics with the Treasury De-
partment."
zone of the criticisms America has
had of other Nations is that they did
not balance their budgets" he added.
IF we are to be consistent, we should
balance our budget"
Urges Renewal Of Gift Tax.
Couzens has advocated recreation
Of the gift tax and an increase in the
estate tax as the first steps in revision
of the tax law. He also has proposed
that the graduation in the surtaxes be
continued to higher scales on incomes
The Michigan Senator said at is
rather ludicrous now after all the years
of boosting President Coolidge and Sec
rotary Mellon for the wonderful con-
dition of the Treasury and their great
accomplishment in reducing taxes, to
see Mr.. Mellon pass the buck to Con-
gress for the deficit. They took all the
credit for the SURPRISES and the tax
reductions, but as a matter of fact Con-
gress was responsible for both"
Predicts Bigger Deficit.
Senator Couzens predicted a Govern
ment deficit Of 50 ,000, 000, 900 by the end
of the next fiscal year. AS for Mr.. Mel
Ions complaint against Congress that it
had not considered Treasury recommen-
dations on the tax laws, he said $50 far
as I recall the only recommendation
made by the Treasury was for repeal
of the estate tax, which would have
made q further deficit"
Mr.. Mellon said that 380, 900 of 120,-
900 900 people in this country pay 81
per cent of the income tax" he con-
tinued. isn't that convincing evidence
of my complaint that the wealth of the
Nation Is concentrated in too few peo-
pie"
