RANKIN INSISTS
POWER AIDES
BEEXPOSED
BY JOHN RANKIN
Representative From Mississippi
Written Especially For
The Hearst PRDerR

Revelations now being made by
the Federal Power Commission
relative to the pernicious activities
Of certain power interests
throughout the country are shock
ing beyond expression.
It shows that the power trusts
will halt at nothing to carry their
perfidious scheme of tying up the
cities, towns and municipalities Of
the United States for the purpose
Of exacjng their exorbitant
tributes in the way Of excessive
light and power rates.
Wants Probe Continued
The people of this country are
indebted to the Hearst newspapers
for helping to bring these things
to light.
I hope the Federal Power Com
mission continues its investigation
until it exposes these corrupt
practices in every locality. I hope
the commission exposes every
power trust governor in the
United States. In my opinion,
there are many Of them controlled
by the power interests.
I hope the commission exposes
every member of a State legisla-
ture and every member of Con-
greSS and of the United States
Senate who represents the power
interests or who is a member of a
firm Of lawyers representing a
power company. They have no
right to collect fees or retainers
from public utilities and then sit
In a body charged with the re-
Sponsibility of making laws to
regulate those utilities.
No man can serve two masters.

Higher Payments on Estates Over
Million Also Asked-Emergency
Expenditures Are Cited.

BY the Associated Press
The Senate Finance Committee to-
day formally reported to the Senate
the revised House tax bill, designed to
raise $3.50, 200, 600 in additional reve-
nue., as compared with $258,00o, 900
provided by the House. 1t included
levies which Chairman Harrison said
promised a balanced budget by 1885
The bill will be taken up tomorrow.
In his report, Harrison said the
committee was in complete agree
ment" on the policy of preventing tax
avoidance. but felt obliged to revise
some of the House loophole-closing
provisions. The committee believed.
he said, they would have IAN unfavor-
able effect on business and would pre-
vent only on inconsequential amount
of tax avoidance
To offset many of the eliminatlons
and reductions it wrote in the House
bill. the committee imposed capital
stock and excess profits tax patterned
after. those levied by the recovery act,
effective July /. 1885. and raised the
estate tax rates in the case of net es-
tates valued at more than 81 900, 900.
Excise Tax Repeal.
These measures are believed nee
essary." the report said, first, be-
cause of the heavy emergency expen-
ditures of the Government. and sec
ond. because of the fact that many
excise taxes under existing law will
be automatically repealed on July /,
1885.
The capital stock and excess profits
taxes. if imposed on a permanent
basis will add stability to our tax
system and will produce sufficient ad
ditional revenue to give assurance of
a balanced budget by 1886"

Secretary of the Treasury" said the
report. that the Government is vitally
in need of the additional revenue
sought to be provided by this bill" q,
In addition to scores of administra-
tive changes and several new taxes,
the bill contains the same income tax
schedule as approved by the House
with the exception it would extend the
proposed 10 per cent credit for earned
income to such incomes up to S2O,-

JOHNSON SETS Up
LEGAL MACHINERY
Hartman to Be in Charge
OF Plan Seeking to Stop
Complaints.

tCopyrght. 1894, by the Associated Press.)
A complete shake-up of N. R. A.
, Transforming it finally into machine
to administer the nearly 400 coded in
dustries, has been started by Hugh S
Johnson.
New orders to Johnson's staff OF
1000 have placed the process of trans
formation in charge of w. Averlll
Hartman. a special assistant He is
the sen of E. H. Hartman. the rail-
road builder, and is himself an in
dustrialist of wide responsibilities. He
is one of the newcomers to N. R. A
The biggest change ordered was the
creation of a litigation division to
handle all court cases in the name OF
the Department of Justice.
This was aimed at more speedy dis
position of cases. not possible at the
Justice Department because of a
limited staff. The new division will
be under the legal department, headed
by Donald r. Richberg, one-time rail-
road labor spokesman, who is john
sons general counsel.
Greater Speed Sought.
All the other alterations likewise
were drafted for greater speed, to cut
off the protests from industrial groups
which can not get policies settled and
complaints quickly attended to.
The reorganization made all deputy
administrators responsible for quick
disposal Of all non-enfOrcement COM
plants on codes under their jurisdic
ton.
1t will be up to them, each equipped
with a legal, economic, labor, indus
trial and consumer adviser. to get ac-
tion out of the compliance and litiga-
ton divisions. Until now their main
job has been to get codes through
the mill
Hartman will take charge of the
prompt formation and efficient opera
ton of code authorities, advising the
industrialists as tc what is expected
of them He will overhaul the COM
pliance machinery of N. R. A, except
for the field staff newly reorganized
under the national emergency coun-
Gil. Three assistants, yet to be named
will share his work.
Ranks With Others.
Although Hartman has been given
perhaps the most important assign
ment on the staff. he will rank Of
ficially the same as Robert w. Lea

Dillinger, or his double, bobbed up

peace officers throughout the South

fugitive.
Monday a garage man, Alvin Carl

Dillinger. Two patrons agreed with
him. Yesterday Dick Wilson, owner
of a service station here. told of two

police photographs and concluded one
of the men was Dillinger.
AS Brawley is $50 miles from San

leading to Arizona, police concluded
that the man, if he really were Dill

ago. After being caught in Arizona,
he was returned to Indiana, but
escaped there.
