COOLIDGE ASKS. SALES TAX
Best For Public and
the Government,
Saws Senator

Observance of the operation OF
the sales tax in foreign countries
and various States in the United
States has convinced Senator
Marcus A. Coolidge CD Of Massa
chusetts that it is the best method
Of taxation.
The Massachusetts Senator, who
expressed the hope Congress will
enact sales tax during the pres
ent session in order that some Oh
the present undesirable forms OF
taxation can quickly be abolished
said today:
"SaleS tax money Is raised on
actual transactions. 1t does not
make it incumbent upon a per.
son not interested in q specific
transaction pay a tax on that
transaction, as is the case with
some Of the present taxes
'Tn this country we have been
going along with the present
form Of taxation so long that we
are practically In a rut.
"But we can put ourselves out
if we are willing to take q pro-
greSsive step, and adopt the sales
tax, which would work to the
benefit of the people as well as
the Government.

unf0unded Propaganda was
spread against it, but If the
American people knew the truth
about the workings and justice
of the sales tax SysteE. they
would urge it to such an extent
that thei1 representatives in
Congress would support it."

GLASS, ROOSEVELT

Senate Battle Looms Over
Amendments TO Stock

Warrington, May 17.-(R-A test

clashing ideas of President Roosevelt
and Senator Glass Of Virginia over

day.
Senate. house conferees on the stock
bill were in deadlock even before they
met to talk things over.
President Roosevelt's stand for fed

who engineered the senate vote for
an independent board, combined to
create situation making an agree

written for Universal Service
American internationalists, and
that part Of the press, which
constitutes the American foreign
legion. Constantly repeat that
the nations which owe the United
States have cancelled their in
debtedneSs, and because these
debtors have, our Government, as
creditor, must in silence meekly
bow its acquiescence.
Any expression in disagreement
is Immediately published by the
international press as not only a
breach Of decorum, but a dema-
gogic utterance. And these in
ternationaliSts of ouls, while
cheering the dishonor of our
debtors, chortle with glee as
they demand what re going
to do about it.
Keeping Our Dignity
OF course, there is little that
can be done, and whatever our
indignation, none of us would do
what ought not to be done. We
can, however, maintain our dig
nifty and insist as a creditor upon
our rights; and we can, too, in
such small measure as is pos
sible, provide for the protection
Of our people against those who
have sold our people worthless
securities and those who have
not only broken their solemn,
pledged, written obligations, but
have not hesitated to repudiate
and to default in the repayment
of the sums which, literally,
saved them from ruin and de-
struction.
The bill which have intro
duced, and which has passed
the Senate, and now rests upon
a motion to reconsider, is a SIM
pie penal statute prohibiting any
one from purchasing or selling
future issues Of defaulting ma
tions, or making any loans to
any such defaulter.
It may be quite true that in a
time of financial depression, the
prohibition against selling or pur-
chasing foreign bonds is of little
consequence; but in the disturbed
conditions existing abroad, it may
be equally true, that. overnight,
some defaulting nation will wish
to obtain the money with which
either to prosecute its nationals
tic designs or maintain its self
defense; and then there will be
the same whining in our country
by out international welshers. we
became familiar with not SO many
years ago.
The countries that have robbed
our people with worthless secur-
tiles, and those that begged our
money, agreed to pay, and then
repudiated and defaulted, should
be impressed with the viewpoint
of the American people, and this
can only be done through the peo-
pies representatives in Congress.

! Secretary of the Treasury
Henry Morgenthau, jr., today
revealed that three fundamental
changes are being effected in
Treasury Department policy.
These changes include:
! /. More aggressive control by
:, the Government over money
| and credit;
2. A rigid ban on Influence"
and political pull' in the
: Governments handling of in
come tax cases, and other cases
where favoritism and scandal

: ministrations;
> 8. Capitalization of authority
: over the various Treasury units
! which in the past have func-
toned more or less independ-
/ emily.
Results Seen
Morganthau revealed, in addi-
ton, that he is highly pleased
with results achieved under the
Administrators gold purchase
plan, and that no detailed ar
rangements looking toward a
= commodity dollar have been made
by his department. He said:
"ObviOusly we cannot say in
advance just what monetary
steps the Treasury Department
cOntemplateS. But / don't mind
saying it will pursue a more
aggressive policy to control
money and credit"
The war on political favoritism
and influence, already begun, will
be pressed with utmost vigor,
the Treasury head declared.
) Probes Launched
This declaration was highly
significant in the light of wide
spread activities launched by the
Internal Revenue Bureau to in
vestigate income tax returns made
under Republican administrations.
The investigatory work already
has involved. such prominent
financiers as former Secretary
Of the Treasury Andrew w. Mel

equally to Democratic and Repub-

clared.
Centralized and well coordinat-
ed control of all Treasury Depart

make the Treasury Department
an efficient operating unit, it was
explained.
