TAX EVASION
CASES CITED
BY PRESIDENT.
Says Wealthy Families BEAT
The Gun" On Incomes Above
One Million Dollars

WASHINGTON, July 81 U.H -
President Roosevelt, answering
questions regarding his tax pro-
gram, called attention today to the
fact that "53 of the thriftiest" peo-
pie in the United States beat the
gun" in 1888 on taxation of 81 per
cent of their net income above the
million dollars.
The President said this was ac-
complished through ownership Of
tax-exempt securities and creation
of family trusts to reduce tax
burdens.
The Presidents remarks were
directed to a field untouched in his
-the-rich program now under
consideration by congress.
In one instance, Mr.. Roosevelt
said, wealthy American family hao
established 1877 family trusts to re-
duce net incomes so that they would
not be affected by the heavy sur
taxes on excessively high incomes.
This type of action, the President
said. costs the government a lot ot
money.
Mn. Roosevelt explained that he
was not ready to add anything tC
his earlier statements concerning
graduated corporation taxes anc
taxes on inter-corporate dividends
He said, however, that he had dis
cussed the situation generally witt
treasury officials.
! Mr. Roosevelt recalled that back
in 1882 while the gift tax feature
was being debated one thrifty tax
payer transferred $1O00O0,000 by taz
free gifts. Another transferred $780,
100000.
Reads From Notes
The President said that was whai
he called beating the gum"
Reading from a sheet of copy
book paper the President pointed tc
another example-that of $780,
100000 estate that was reduced
within two years of death to $8,.
100000 by gifts
He commended to attention
famous gift tax case of 1881, passed
upon by the supreme court, anc
mentioned the dissenting opinion oi
Mr.. Justice Stone.
In that case the majority of the
court held that gifts made within
two years were not presumed to be
made in anticipation of death
Turning back to the 81 per cent
of high incomes that escaped taxa
ton, Mr.. Roosevelt said the only
way that situation could be met
was by constitutional amendment
which would eliminate tax exempt
securities. That recommendation he
has made.

WASHINGTON, July 31.-Profits
of more than 300 per cent for As
sociated Gas and Electric company
engineer and management subsidi-
aries during the depression were
reported today to the senate lobby
committee.
Companies receiving the huge
profits we're described as service
subsidiaries and include private
companies of Howard G. Hopson,
missing master mind" of the huge
system.
The data was given after the
senate committee ordered the U.
S. marshal at New York to hunt
the elusive utilities operator. The
treasury meanwhile opened income
and other tax records to the COM
mittee to aid the inquiry.
The 200 per cent profits were
paid, Stewart G. Ross, New York
state utilities investigator testi-
fled, from 1923 to 1888, during
some of which years A. G. E. in
vestors received no dividends or
their stock.
Operating profits of the subsidi.
aries, Ross said, totaled $13,735,00(
in the five-year period.
Describing the method by which
the huge profit percentage was fig

FISH
BIG QUESTION
FOR SOLONS

LOS ANGELES, July 81 Up) -
Charges that high seas sardine re-
duction plants threaten the little
fish with extinction in California
waters were studied by the state
fish and game commission today.
They were tossed into the COM
missions lap at public hearing to
determine the amount of sardines
which may be taken during the
1886 season.
Announcing that the tonnage
would be fixed at the next meeting
in August, commissioners said, how
ever, that the previously fixed total
take of 100000 tons would be the
maximum considered.
w. P. Hornblower, representing
Monterey canneries, protested al
legged discrimination against shore
plants.
"Shore reduction plants may be
forced to move to Oregon or Wash
ington to escape the unfair dis
elimination which limits their pro-
duction of sardine meal and oil as
a by-product OF sardine canning in
this state" he said.
Representatives of sardine fisher
men, Gamers, shore and floating
reduction plants were heard on the
question of allotmentS.
Efforts will be made to bring the
floating reduction plants, boats
producing sardine meal and oil on
the high seas, under complete juris-
diction of the commission, it was
said.
The commission announced that
no reduction permits will be issued
for the month of August in northern
California, nor for the last Is days
of the northern season from Feb. l
to Feb. Is.
Neither will permits be issued for
use the last Is days of the south
ern California season from March
Is to March 81, commissioners said.

BILL BANNING
COLD CLAUSE:
SUITS CHANGED

WASHINGTON, July 81 U.H =
The senate banking committee to-
day reported the administrations
bill to prohibit suits against the
government on its gold clause
securities but in such shape that
suits may be filed for the next six
months.
The amendments which weaken
the measure from the administra-
ton viewpoint, were offered by
Sen. William Gibbs Adoo,
Dem), Calf, former secretary of
the treasury. They were adopted
by IL to 7.
The effect would be to permit all
existing suits to stand. There are
two pending in the court of claims.
The change would also permit hold
erS of gold clause bonds to bring
suit on them within six months
after passage of the law.
II was believed the administra-
ton would attempt to modify the
changes in the senate or in con-
ference. The measure has passed
the house in the form sought by
President Roosevelt to outlaw all
gold clause suits.
The committee voted down, IL to
6, an amendment by Sen. Thomas
P. Gore, Dem), Okla, which would
have permitted suits to be filed
against the government for damages
growing out of devaluation and out
lawing of the gold clause for six
months after the maturity date of
the bonds. That would have made
the legislation practically inopera-
tive.
