SEEN BACKING
SALES LEVY
Senator Reed, Treasury Voice,
Points to 100000 Deficit;
Beer Revenue to Fore
By GEORGE R. HOLMES


A lame-duck Congress al
ready bedevilled by scores of
controversies, great and small,
is going to have to find new
sources of Federal taxation.
The condition of the Treasury,
almost $500, 0,00O, 900 in the red so
far this fiscal year, makes it i'm
perative that there be some tax
legislation of positive character
In the short session. in the opin-
ion Of Treasury officials and con-
gressional leaders.
Tax Bill Fails
The hodge-podge tax increase
bill which was rushed through
Congress last spring after the
sales tax had been beaten has
failed signally to bring In the
money expected Of it, or to live
UP to Treasury estimates Of its
productiveness.
The basis of that tax bill was
q sharp increase in income taxes
and the institution of numerous
so-called nuisance taxes" In
some categorieS, the schedules
have produced only minor frac-
ton of the estimates.
The one that has come near
est to fulfilling expectations was
the Federal gasoline tax, and
that expires automatically next
June. AS for the others, they
have produced only 5 to so per
cent Of what was counted on.
Sales Tax Revived
In this situation, advocates Of
o general manufacturers sales
tax Of 2 per cent are preparing
to press anew for its adoption.
Senator David A. Reed (R0 of
Pennsylvania, Treasury spokes-
man in the Senate, said today:
'Tt is absolutely necessary
that some tax program be en-
acted at the short session.
when the income tax returns
begin to come in next March,
the results are going to be
shocking to the Treasury. With
business conditions as they are,
the returns from income taxes
are going to be small indeed.
"The nuisance taxes have
been clearly shown to be q
failure" ..
Opponents of the salesAax are
going to try to :beat it: with a
! beer tax.
Beer Revenue Advocated
Once open up the breweries,
they say, and beer will provide
revenue in such volume as to
make a general sales tax levy un-
necessary.
The opposition to a general
sales tax in the last session cut
across party lines. Leaders in
both parties generally supported
1at, but it was beaten by the rank
fand file.
z Reed said he believed more Re
publicans would support it in the
approaching session than did six
months ago. He said:
'cBut something must be done.
As matters stand, the budget is
not balanced, and the Govern
Hnent cannot live by borrowing"

100 PER CENT TAX ON
CRIME INCOMES SET

WASHINGTON, June 1.-Invok-
ing the age-old axiom that the
power to tax is the power to des-
troy, the senate wrote into the
revenue bill last night a 100 ner
cent tax upon all incomes obtained
by crime.
If this outright c~onfiscation OF
the literal wages of sin remains

e narcotic distributor and tire

ment's most effective weapon for
crushing the power of the under
world lord.
Senator Glenn of Illinois, the
state that has suffered so consp1c-
uously from gangland, put the
harsh provisions into the bill with
out a solitary objection. He called
upon the government to end the
"partnership' with crime which he
charged it exercises in accepting
the same share of vice-tainted prof
it's that it demands of the man who
earns his money within the law.
Hitherto law violators with CON
spicious earnings have been able
to protect themselves by boldly de-
claring their occupation and their
income to the internal revenue bu-
reau and paying tax, without feal
that the returns could be used to
prosecute them.
Where they failed to do so, the
government has succeeded in us
ing the income tax law to imprison
gang leaders and smash their pow
er in cases where the terror of the
gangland guns and torture made
impossible the gathering of evil
dence to convict them of the crimes
which yielded the income.
Under the new law the criminals
only avenue to safety will be clos
ed. They will not dare to file true
returns, but will have to hide their
now blatantly proclaimed occupa-
tons.
