VANDENBERG ASKS
IN TAX BILL
Measure Is Fiscal FiaSCo,"
Senator Asserts, Nov
ing RecommittaI.
BY JOHN C. HENRY.

Senator Vandenberg, Republican of
Michigan, opened an attack upon the
pending administration tax bill to
soak the rich" this afternoon, as
he submitted a motion to send the
measure back to the Senate finance
committee and thus defer action until
the next session of Congress.
This bill fails to serve any real
purpose at this time" the Michigan
Republican said in charging that the
legislation will be completed under the
cloud of "dictation, desperation and
exhaustion"
Throughout his argument to have
the drafting of a tax measure post
poned until next Winter. Vanden-
berg attacked the haste now being
shown. In this respect he quoted an
editorial from The Star condemning
hasty efforts to draw tax bill.
1T is Midsummer madness, nothing
else" he declared. "perpetrated in the
dark"
Roosevelt's Cautions Recalled.
After quoting President Roosevelt
in appealing for tax and fiscal eau
ton in 1888. Vandenberg charged:
The sturdy warnings of 1888 are be-
ing ignored in the marching orders
of 1885.
This tax bill Is unrelated to the
budget. 1t is sheer waste TO raise q
little batch of taxes that have no
la e., k,,,I- ;- he
shooting an arrow INTO the night.
This bill extends taxes, yet con-
tinues to pile up deficits. precisely
what Mr.. Roosevelt said would lead
to bankruptcy.
1T hurts taxpayers and helps no
one else.
IF we must legislate for reasons
more polite than economic, should we
have sham bills such as this?
From q revenue standpoint this
bill is a fiscal fiasco. 1t produces
nothing more than pocket change"
Harrison Opens Discussion.
Senator Harrison. Democrat, Mis-
sissippi. and chairman Of the Senate
Finance Committee. opened the dis
cussion today. reviewing the commit
tee report which dealt principally
with changes made in the House
measure.
Concerning the graduated corpora
ton income tax, Harrison termed the
House provision merely a gesture. +"
The House graduation was over l per
cent, while the Senate varies by 3.
BY latest computation, the bill,
which had its origin in the June 19
message to Congress from President
Roosevelt, asking that additional taxes
be levied against those best able to
pay, will raise approximately $254,-
000, 900 in its first full year of opera
Gon.
The estimate of revenue that the
House bill would have brought in was
S255 ,000, 900, while the measure as
framed by the Senate Finance Com
mittee last Saturday but changed
sgain on Monday would have raised
about $3.50, 100000.
Report Explains Changes.
As in the case of the House Ways
and Means Committee report, the
Senate Finance Committee presented
no case in support of enactment of the
legislation other than to say it had
been requested by President Roose-

Presenting the planks in answer to
President Roosevelt's reiterated de-
mand for a substitute program" the
Chicago and Manchester, N. H..
newspaper publisher recommended, for
adoption by his party, a number of
planks taken, literally, from the DEM
ocratic platform of 1882"
They represent principles upon
which all those opposed to the radi-
calism of President Roosevelt can sup
port the Republican party" he de-
clared.
Col. Knox was assured the support
OF New Hampshire Republicans for
the nomination by Gov. H. Styles
Bridges in and address on the same
party gathering. the annual outing of
the Rockingham County Republican
Club.
Speaks at Home Rally.
Col. Knox, in an address prepared
for delivery, suggested that the follow
ing planks be included in the next
Republican platform:
81. An immediate and drastic reduc-
ton Of governmental expenditures.
90. Maintenance of the national
credit by Federal budget annually
balanced.
"3. A sound currency to be pre-
served at all hazards.
a. Unemployment and old-age in
surance under State laws
IS. Strict and impartial enforce
ment of the antitrust laws to pre-
vent monopoly and unfair trade prac-
tices.
IS. Opposition to the unsound pol
icy of restricting agricultural produc-
ton"
Col. Knox said he rot only recon-
mended those principles for adoption
by his party, but he urged "the pre-
else language in which / have read
them
This is important, he said, "be-
cause they are taken literally from
the Democratic platform of 1892.
They represent principles upon
which all those opposed to the radi-
caliSm of President Roosevelt can
support the Republican party, and
they represent, in every single in
stance, the utter reputation by Roose-
velt and his New Deal administration
of sacred promises, upon the basis of
which he procured his election.
Reputation Cited.
"It is almost a truism to say that
had he openly repudiated these fun
damentally sound principles prior to
November, 1882, he woulc not have
been elected President of the United
States.
"It is a lack of trustworthiness and
loyalty to pledged word and principle
that has created universal lack of
confidence in the administration by
the entire American business COM

Coyotes Killing
Aeneas Mt. Deer
Predators Are Active In His
District, Martin Tobie
Declares

Running in packs like wolves,
coyotes are destroying many deer in
the Aeneas mountain district,
according to Martin Tobie, farmer
of that region. Small fawns are the
most common prey of the predators,
he said.
The deer are easy victims of the
coyotes because of the snow crust,
over which, the coyotes run, Is not
thick enough to support the heavier
animals, Mr.. Tobie explained.
Deer are nearly half again as
numerous on the mountain as last
year, he said, because of the mild
rninter weather. They are eating
hay and numerous complaints have
been made by farmers who have lost
feed. The deer also ate moss off
some of Mr.. Tobies freshly cut
fence posts, indicating that their
natural feed supply is short.
