Tax Bill Shaped to Any Theory
Through Skill of Capitol Expert
LOveH III. Parker Can
Squeeze Blood Out
OF a TIrnip.
And Then TIrn around
And Prove Ii Can't
Be Done.

Tax Bills Made to Order-Democra
or Republican-Apply Room 1886,
New House Office Building.
AS an advertisement. the above never
has been published, but it could be
at any time without any departure
from the truth. Created under the
terms of the Revenue Act of 1926, the
Joint Committee on Internal Revenue
Taxation has been the right arm of
the Congress in drafting revenue legiS-
lation ever since And the life blood
of that right arm has not been the
congressional members Of the commit
tee but rather the technical staff
which has followed the bidding of the
congressional members.
Chief of this staff since its crea-
ton has been Lowell H. Parker, now
considered one of the foremost tax
experts of the country and indispens-
able aide to Democrats and Repub-
licans alike. Appointed during the
Republican administration of the late
President Coolidge, Parker, with the
assistance of his technical staff, per-
formed the principal duties involved
in the drafting of Republican tax
bills. Retained during the present
Democratic administration, Parker
has performed the same duties for
Democratic tax bills.
New Bill Is Example.
The pending S254 100000 bill Is an
example of Mr.. Parker's all-around
adaptability to the needs and wishes
Of the party in power.
When the House Ways and Means
Committee undertook the drafting OF
the bill along general lines of presi-
dental recommendation. Parker met
with then. When the Democratic
majority members secluded themselves
for the purpose of whipping the bill
into final shape Parker adapted their
wishes to the practical side Of pre-
pairing a bill But when the minority
Republicans wished some advice as to
how the Democratic bill might be
knocked into a cooked hat, so to
speak, Parker was equally available
to them
During consideration of the bill on
the House floor, Parker became a
Democratic Congressman" and sat at
the table with Ways and Means Com
mittee members. Frequently. how
ever, Republicans consulted him.
Explains House Bill.
On the Senate side, comparable
procedure was followed. Parker ap-
peared before the Finance Commit
tee to explain the House bill to both
Democrats and Republicans. To ques-
tioning as to why the House did so
and so. Parker explained that it was
the decision of the House Committee
that drafted the bill
When the Senate Finance Commit
tee decided the bill should be altered

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, August IT.
Suffering burns which police said ap-
parently we're caused by acid and not

He was taken to the Cambridge city

it was specifically requested by the
President and the House Democratic
conferees are therefore bound to
make some fight in its behalf, On the
other hand, its reinsertion in the leg
islation, If such should come to pass,
surely would precipitate fight on
the Senate floor with a s;zeatle fac
ton of Democrats being opposed to
acceptance of the new tax.
The other principal points of diff
ference in the House and Senate bills
are wider range of graduation of
corporation income taxes in the SEN
ate. the imposition of an intercom-
pany dividend tax by the Senate, the
increase of the existing capital stock
tax rate by the Senate, lower scale
of excess profits taxes, and changes
in the surtax section by which in
creases over the present rates would
begin at the 100000 net income
bracket rather than $4,000 as i'll the
House bill.

MILLS SEES VIVID
19SPARTy LINES
Former Secretary Hits New
Deal as Gripping to Free
Enterprise.
BY the Associated Press.

CHAUTAUQUA, N Y. August H.
Party lines in the United States are
no longer invisible" Ogden Mills,
former Secretary of the Treasury and
a leading Eastern Republican. said
here today
In the first of two speeches in both
of which he attacked the New Deal as
a danger to individual liberty, Mr.
Mills said party lines in America are
no longer invisible" and predicted
few Democrats will still associate
themselves with the New Dealers after
they acquaint themselves with planned
economy in which free government
and private enterprise are sacrificed"
Saying he was defender of the
old conservative order" he predicted
swing away from New Deal tend
encies to conservative standards.
He spoke first at a luncheon in his
honor and then at the annual Grange
day program at Chautauqua Institu-
ton. He avoided reference to Re-
publican presidential trends in both
speeches.
He told the Grangers the policies of
President Roosevelt had created lis
sues that cut so deep as to threaten
not only the form, but the spirit of
our institutions"
Mills proposed remedies and reforms
for what he called inequalities, de-
fectS and weaknesses" in the American
Government and in our economic
system.
He suggested encouragement of
increased production by unshackling
business energy" suppression of
crime, ''monopolization and all preda-
tory practices" protection of savings,
reduction of "the intolerable burden
Of taxation" stimulation of farm
end home ownership" protection of
the labor market by the ''strictest i'm
migration laws" reopening of world
markets and stable monetary sys-
tsm.
He said he could not accept "the
explanation that the New Deal is COM
posed Of series of individual actions
intended merely to meet succession
of problems arising from an emer-
gency. The pattern is too uniform,
the determination to push forward,
even as the emergency wanes, too OBJ
vious to permit any such interpreta-
ton"

was enlarged and declared in effect
the Federal Reserve System would be
made over to bring it fully into
harmony with the advanced policies
of the administration"
At the same time it was disclosed
that Gov. Eccles is we'll pleased with
the bill as it comes out of the con-
ference committee. He was repre-
Sented by those in close touch with
him as thinking it a good compro-
mise. He will endorse the confer
ence report measure to President
Roosevelt and it became known to-
day the President will sign it.
Gov. EccleS. it was reported, views
the revised bill as embodying the
ideas of centralized control which he
sanctioned. He strongly approves the
fact the conference report hberalizes
real estate loans and the eligibility of
paper for discount. He is satisfied
with the open market arrangements,
especially with the regional require
ment in selection of the representa-
tives of the Reserve banks on the
Open Market Committee.
Chairman Steagall conceded that on
the whole Senator Glass had won
a victory" but he contended that at
the same time the bill was a dis
tinct advance over present law.
New Board Timber Sought.
1t was made clear in the views Of
Mr.. Steagall, Gov. Eccles and other
champions of the administration that
they see big possibilities in the wlping
out of the existing Federal Reserve
Board and the appointment of a new
board by President Roosevelt.
While not openly said, it is clearly
the purpose, according to talk at the
Capitol, to sweep much of the old
timber on the board aside and name
a new board which will be pro-ad-
ministration and in accord with the
ideas Of Gov. Eccles and the Presi-
dent. Moreover, the Secretary of the
Treasury and controller of the cur
rency will be eliminated from the
board. Nominally, the new board will
be powerful independent body. Never
theless, it will be named in pursuance
OF the New Deal and will owe its
appointment to President Roosevelt.
The conference report was filed in
the House by Chairman Steagall. It
is the purpose to bring it up for action
Monday. Leaders predicted quick ac-
ceptance in both Houses, inasmuch
as the conferees Friday night were
unanimous in signing the agreement.
Open.Market Operation Controlled.
Chairman Steagall In his statement
emphasized that an outstanding fea-
ture of the bill, as shaped in confer
ence, sis to declare and emphasize the
determination of the Government to
control the open market operations of
the Federal Reserve System" He
sought to stress the fact that under
the bill as revised the Federal Re-
serve Board will control the Open
Market Committee. He insister the
Open Market Committee provision is
substantially the same as the House
provisions.
The fact that Senator Glass sue
cessfully fought off the idea of the
administration that the purchases
under the open-markets arrangement
could be made directly from the
Treasury instead of being confined to
the open market was not referred to
by Chairman Steagall, but is deemed
of high Importance by Senator Glass
and others who do not want to see
the reserve system overloaded with
bonds while money for
commercial credit lies inactive.

tiently. This is the only pos
sible way. My survey shows
that"
Your survey shows it." Dick
echoed the words. "Sari, I've
just gone over that survey, du-
plicated it foot for foot, and
I've learned something that
may or may not surprise you.
Your survey was a lie. I half
suspected it when I heard about
the murder of the man who
made it. A lie from start to
finish. No ditch following your
lines can ever bring one drop Of
water from Azure Lake to the
desert. To bring a ditch this
FAR you would have to dig 25
feet into the ground, and part
OF that distance you'd have to
blast through solid rock. In
other words, Nick, your whole
scheme was a damned fraud"
Black Hatred
sari's face had grown ashy
and his hands, clasping the sad
die horn, were white and blood
less with the intensity of his
grasp. Black hatred burned in
his eyes as very deliberately
they swept the horizon, and
with a flash of understanding
Dick knew that Sari was coldly
calculating the chances Of
shooting his two enemies down
after first making sure that in
all the lonely desert there
would be no telltale witness.
Slowly sari's eyes returned to
DICK and his words rumbled in
an ominous growl. whats

Dick leaned forward and now
ne touched the mans breast

deadly in its earnestness. I'm
going to ruin you, just as you've

parked at the man, and the
revolver slipped back into the
holster. There's no need for
gun play here"
CHAPTER 27
Again he turned to Dick and
once again his voice was quiet
and contemptuous. "You know
I hardly believe you're going to
make good that threat of ruin
ing me-"
"Why not?"
Because, for one thing, It
would be a fatal act against
your father. When you attack
me you attack him. You don't
believe Solon Lowell will take
that sort of thing lying down,
DO you? You know what will
happen. He'll renounce YOU
nell use every means In his
power to defeat you. Just as
I will. And with both of us
against you there's no power
on the border that can save
YOU"
Dick nodded. He needed no
reminder from Sari to realize
he was cutting himself off
lrrevocably from his father. 1T
don't doubt for a minute that
Dad will side with you," he
answered shortly, "but I'll tell
you this, Nick Sari. I'd rather
