Chairman Fletcher said yesterday
the Senate committee investigating
charges of loans by the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation to companies in
which Jesse Jones. chairman, is inter-
ested, would broaden its inquiry to in
clude all members of the r. F. C. Board.
The committee, Fletcher told news
paper men. will determine whether
loans have been made by the Govern
ment agency to companies in which
any of the directors have an interest.
Fletcher said he would call a meeting
tomorrow to speed up the Jones inquiry
and put it ahead of the general in
vestigation into r. F. c. loans.
Ask Report on Loans.
The week end recess of the stock
market investigation, which the same
Senators are conducting, gave them op-
portunity to plan the r. F. C. inquiry.
The stock market hearings will be re-
sumed Tuesday.
The Senators have asked the r F. C.
for a report on all loans to mortgage
companies, the status of the 500, 900 900

the Republican members of Congress
will hold the same view. Added taxes
will not sit well on the Stomachs of
the voters year from now.
In the legislation passed at the Spe-
cial session OF Congress, amendments
to the tax laws were passed seeking
TO prevent the escape of j. p. Morgan
and other wealthy men from the pay
ment of income taxes, following the
revelations at the hearings of the SEN
ate Banking Committee, showing that
many OF these men had paid no in
come taxes, or very small taxes, in the
years following 1929. The new reyi-
SionS, which have been drafted by the
Ways and Means Subcommittee, seek
to cover all kinds Of loop holes by
which taxes may be avoided either by
men OF great wealth or others. Amend
ments to estate and gift taxes are in
cluded also.
Senator Kings committee, composed
OF Senators Byrd of Virginia, Barkley
OF Kentucky and Reed of Pennsylvania
has given attention TO the problem of
tax duplication. the levying of similar
taxes by the Federal and State gov
ernments. An effort will be made to
retain certain fields of taxation to the
Federal Government and to leave others
10 the states.
Must Originate in House.
The Senate committee, however. has
also given attention to the need of
up the administrative fea-
lures OF the revenue law so that the
taxes may not be avoided.
Senator Pat Harrison, chairman of
the Senate Finance Committee, is pre-
pared to ask for joint hearings Of the
House and Senate committees ON tax
revision, believing that the legislation
can be greatly expedited by such
Under the Constitution, the tax
laws must originate in the House. How
ever, the Senate has full authority to
amend any tax bill that is sent to it
by the House and it has exercised this
authority to the full in the past.
The administration Is still mulling
over what tax rates should be fixed for
liquor after prohibition has been re-
pealed. 1t desires to raise the maxi
mum revenue from this source that may
be possible without encouraging boot

II the administration has in mind
any such proposals for tax revision,

obtaining a tax on income for the
Government, and not so much inter

income taxes.
King Conducts Investigation.
Senator King of Utah, chairman of
a subcommittee of the Senate Finance
Committee which deals with tax laws
at the Senate end of the Capitol. has
also been investigating during the
summer the present revenue laws, He
said that he heard of proposals to levy
taxes on unexpended incomes, but that
he would be OF posed to such a tax as
applied to the uneXpended incomes of
individuals. So far as taxes on the
uneXpended incomes of corporations
are concerned, however, he added that
he would favor such a move.
I think the paying up of big sur
pluses by corporations is unjustified
and unwiSe, said Senator King. These
earnings should be distributed. Such
surplus funds too often, as has been
gambling"
Just what the administration will
recommend regarding taxes to the Con-
gress when it meets in January has
not been made public. The President
has said that he will without delay,
issue the proclamation required by the
recovery act. after the repeal OF ma
tlonal prohibition, to abolish certain
so-called nuisance taxes which were
levied to raise the necessary S220,000,
600 of revenue annually to amortize

iture. If the new liquor laws bring in
$500, 100000, as has been estimated,
then $220,000,000 of this added reve-
nue. must be substituted for the reve-
nue. which would come from the taxes
which are to be eliminated leaving
S270 600, 900 to be used by the Govern
ment for general expenditures. Whether
this will be sufficient to take up the
slack and make expenditures for the
Government come within the annual
receipts is a question depending upon
the Government budget. Recent re-
ports have it that the estimated deficit
for the year is now about $3.50 ,000, 900.
Drastic cuts in the ordinary expendi-
lures Of the Government might help
to bring the expenditures and receipts
within nodding distance.
