TAX EVASION SEEN
FAULT OF SYSTEM
Morgenthau Calls for Study
to Balance Plans of
Collecting Taxes.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Describing tax evasion as increasing
because machinery for assessing and
collecting the levies is out of equi-
librium, Secretary Morgenthau today
proposed thoroughgoing study Of the
problem in an effort TO remedy the de-
fects.
Addressing the Tax Revision Coun-
Gil, composed of Federal, State and
municipal officials meeting here to
consider what to do about overlapping
and conflicting taxation, the Secretary
OF the Treasury said:
The first step, in my opinion, Is to
make a careful survey and analysis OF
the total tax structure of the country
TO determine just how the burden Of
governmental expenses is now dis
tributSd.
Next, would note what practica-
bic changes in the combined tax
structure of the country would pro-
duce sound and more equitable dis
trbution Of the total burden.
In the third place, l would con-
centrate upon few important and
workable means Of eliminating con-
f1icts and overlapping in a manner
consistent with our analysis of what
constitutes a fundamentally desirable
tax structure.
Finally, having arrived at a few
important possibilities which We know
TO be fundamentally sound. We can
tnen attempt to put them into effect"

SHR|NERS TO LIVE
IN PULLMAN CITY
1900 viii Use Air-CooIed
Cars as Quarters in
Convention.

An air-Cooled city of Pullman cars
will provide sleeping quarters for about
1900 Shriners during the entire con-
vention.
This is the estimate Of r. E. Cole
man, vice chairman and secretary OF
the Transportation Committee of the
Shrine.
Contrasts With June, 1923.
Contrasting to June, 1923. when
Shriners in Pullmans almost literally
slept on their well-known hot sands
in the scorching heat of Pullman cars
which had been standing in the sur
all day long. there will be cooled
pleasant temperature in the Pullmans
of all rail lines and in all yards this
time.
Between 10000 and $4,000 Shriners
are coming by special trains and spe-
cial cars, Coleman said. Most of these
men will sleep in hotels while here,
but some of the biggest delegations will
use their Pullman cars for the night.
Among those to sleep on board will be
Medinah Temple, Chicago; Mahi
Temple, Miami Morocco Temple,
Jacksonville. Fla; Salaam, Newark,
N. j.. and others.
Pullmans will be placed in three
principal yards, the Florida avenue
and lexington, New York avenue
yards; at Fourteenth and Water
streets, and New Jersey avenue and G
street southeast.
City Power to BE Used.
Special electric connections to city
power will provide continuous and
ample power for keeping the air-con-
ditioning apparatus in perfect opera
ton for the convenience of the visi-
tors. Most of these trains have club
cars with dining cars, shower baths,
and on practically every train there
are either regular club cars with bars,
or baggage cars fitted up with tenn
orary bars.
Reduced rates were provided all
Shriners through the Transportation
Committee. Of which George B. Nc
Ginty, secretary of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, is chairman.
