things which he said were wrong with

to be classed as pessimist, yet he said
he would mention four things which had
to do with the chaotic condition existing
today, as follows: First, a lack of the
realization of the imminence of God 5;
second, a lack of a knowledge of Gods
Word among believers; third, tenden-
cy to treat the Bible as a philosophical
or scientific book and fourth, tendency
to tie up with material things. eff men

be right and things must be done indi-
v;dually."

.orgenthau BATTLES
For Bill, Despite
Inequities
International News service

Secretary Of the Treasury Nor
genthau appeared before the Sen
ate Finance Committee again to-
day to defend President Roose-
velt's sos million dollar tax bill
against charges it would destroy
small firms while permitting rich
corporations to escape Federal
Eaxation
/ These charges, made by Sena-
tor Byrd Cd Of Virginia, COM
rnittee member, and echoed by
business leaders, brought revela-
lions that 2sS corporations earn
ing more than 100000 each in
1884 would have their taxes
slashed so per cent or more, and
that 1873 milliondo corpora
tons would pay no taxes at all
under the new bill.
Three New Phases
Morgenthau was expected to
present the committee with rev.
enue estimates on three new tax
plans proposed by Democrats as
substitutes for the presidential
program. Two of the substitutes
would follow the principle" Of
the presidential plan by imposing
super SurtaxeS on undivided cor
porate income in an effort to
force distribution of earnings to
stockholders in the form of divi-
dends, which would be taxed as
regular income.
Despite the yelled warning by
Secretary Morgenthau that the
law prevented the making public
of information he gave the Sen
ate Committee yesterday, Byrd
emerged from the two-hour closed
session, and said:
Secretary MOrgenthau'S state
mentS prove my contention that
many prosperous companies will
escape taxes under this bill. 1
am more convinced than ever
that this bill is advantageous to
strong, financially entrenched
companies and disastrous to
small, struggling corporations"
Morgenthau asserted he be-
|lieved that while taxes Of 283 cor
porations earning more than
81 ,OOO, 900 each in 1884 would en-
Joy a tax reduction Of so per cent,
that under the Treasury's pro-
poSal he believed taxes would be
increased on an equal number Of
corporations withholding large
earnings from distribution.
Harrison Backs Substitute
Chairman Harrison Cd, Of
Mississippi, conceded that the
| Presidents original propose
would be substituted with COM
promise plan being drafted by the
Treasury along the lines he laid
down Tuesday night.
