Senting them to the nation in a

attorneys said.
The Government seeks an
additional income tax payment
for 1881 from Mr.. Mellon Of
$3,O89, 900. The former Treasury
head claims that the Government
really owes him $4,000.
Testimony concerning the pic
lures and their value was intro
duced by Frank Hogan, chief OF
Mr.. Melons counsel. The point
of the Hogan argument was that
had Mr.. Melons 1881 income
been much larger than it was re-
ported Mr.. Mellon could have
asked an exemption because of the
gift of the pictures.
Had Mr.. Melons income for
1881 been as large as the Govern
ment claims then the is per cent
exemption allowed for gifts would
have risen proportionately above
the 100000 figure which Mr.. Mel
lon used. In such case the
financier would have used the
So, 000,0 900 art collection gift" as
a basis for increasing his gift ex-
emption, Mr.. Hogan argued.

{. D. P. ATTACKS
FAIL To HALT
BANK BILL
Measure to DrastiCaIIy Revise
Federal Reserve Statutes
Moves Toward Passage
International News Service

The banking bill moved toward
passage in the House today de-
spite Republican charges that the
Administration seeks to seize con-
troll of the Nations entire banking
resources.
The Republican attack was an
swerved by Administration Spokes-
men. who declared the drastic re-
vision of the Federal reserve law,
as proposed in the bill, means the
Government will control credit,
not banks.
Attacks Measure
Representative Clifford (R.) Of
Massachusetts, charged that Ad-
ministration officials say the huge
1000 million-dollar k-relief
fund makes the banking bill nee
essary. Representative Clifford
said
"This is the hidden thing in
this bill. This bill makes it pos
Sible for the Federal Reserve
Board here in Washington to
say that banks must buy every
Government bond that is Of
fered, and the Government can
say, Buy the bonds and we will
then give you money for them"
WARNS OF IMITATION
Representative Wolcott (R) Of
Michigan declared:
"We are heading for PERM
ciouS initiation under this bill.''
The bill would give the Federal
Reserve Board power to direct
open market operations of reserve
banks, requiring purchase or sale
of Government bonds and other
obligations. It is under this
power, Representative Wolcott as
serted, that the Administration
plans to finance continuing huge
deficits.
All Republican attempts to re.
wise the bill we're beaten yesteN
day. The House rejected, 80 to
So, an amendment by Representa-
tive HOLSTER (RD of Ohio, to
strike from the bill the open mar.
ket provisions. Caught by par
liamentary trick, Representative
Hancock CD of North Carolina,
was blocked in his fight to pro-
pose an amendment to unity the
banking system. He expects to
offer it today.

Silver Initiation Increases
Workers Living Cost:

Roosevelt raised the price OF
newly mined domestic silver to
77.57 cents an ounce. The silver
on the world market has fluctuat-
ed greatly in the course of the
week, going as high as 84.O4 cents
an ounce.
With the U. S. buying all the
silver it can get, other nations are
trying to bid up the price in or
der to keep silver within their own
borders.
It is believed that the Mexican
government like the Chinese gov
eminent will ask the United States
to cease its silver purchasing pro-
gram. This program is causing
great monetary difficulties in
countries, and is an occasion for
friction.
This policy of raising the price
of silver, thereby devaluating the
dollar, is another method of in
flation. 1t increases the cost Of
living for the worker, steadily rob
bling his pay envelope through
cheapening its buying power.
Still higher prices are in stor,
for silver that will result in al
increase in the cost of necessities
Roosevelt is empowered by con
gress to raise the price of silve
to S1.29 in order to increase tn
government stock of silver up t
one-fourth of the country's metal
lie currency base.
