Cromwell Urges
Quitting Taxes
Put On Incomes
Advocates Sales Tax on
Finished Consumers
Goods as Cure-All

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-James
Cromwell, husband of wealthy Doris
Duke, today recommended to the
House Ways and Means Committee
an immediate reduction and the I'LL
innate repeal of all forms of income
tax.
Cromwell also advocated the re-
vision of estate and gift taxes and
the adoption by manufacturers of
a sales tax on finished consumers
goods.
Such a scientific tax system
would end the unjust economic dis
elimination between taxation of cor
porations and unincorporated bust
ness enterprises" said Cromwell.
Such a move, Cromwell further
said, would also tend to encourage
the distribution of wealth and en-
nance Labor's bargaining powers.
Chairman Vinson of the House
Ways and Means committee said the
sales tax must be 10 per cent to
make the four billion dollar loss
which would accrue through the
elimination of existing excise tax

VIM. KEMPER
PASSES AWAY
IN HOSPITAL
Banker, Railroad, Execu-
tive, Prominent Demo-
crat, Dies in K. c.

KANSAS CITY, Jan. 19.-Wil-
liam Kemper, II, financier and pro-
minent Democrat, died in a hospital
here today He underwent a SER
ious operation last month.
Casting aside ambitions for a po-
litical career, the goal to which he
looked forward in his younger years,
William t. Kemper became sue
cessful banker and railroad admin
iStrator.
What was regarded as the out
standing achievement of his bust
ness career was saving the Kansas
City, Mexico and Orient Railroad
from being junked.
"Streak of Rust"
Mr.. Kemper became receiver of
that road in 1917, when it was re-
ferred to as "a streak of rust run
ming off nowhere on the prairies of
the great Southwest" Seven years
later the road showed a profit of
Sl42, 900, the first time in years such
IA condition prevailed.
The Orient railroad, one of the
dreams of Arthur 4. StillWell was
conceived as a short route to the
west coast and with terminal at
Topoloampo, Mex, was said to
trim the shipping distance to the
Orient by 1000 miles. Stillwell in
terested British investors and fairly
good building progress was made I'M
til 1914.
With the outbreak of the World
War, the British investors began
withdrawing their money. The road
ran into a maze of financial diff
cultieS, dissolution was threatened,
| litigation was instituted and remain
ed in the courts until 1928, when
American interests gained control.
Performed Miracles
Meanwhile, Kemper was perform
ing miracles, completed the reor-
ganization of the road and became
president in 1925 Two years later
he and his counsel were awarded
more than 81 900 900 in fees for their
ten-year services.
During the reorganization period
the most extraordinary economics
ever practiced by railroad were put
into effect by Mr. Kemper His
work was described by B. H. Meyer,
! Interstate Commerce Commissioner,
as model for thrift, and econ
omy in the operation of a railroad
In order to save and conserve,
Mr. Kemper had the terminal shops

ing taken to Chicago, and no ex-
PLANTATION was made of the st. Paul
stop-over. This morning, several
automobiles left st. Paul for an I'M
disclosed destination. No one was

ing bets and other expenditures,
FBI agents followed three times
across the continent before his cap
ture in Los Angeles.
Hoover said the suspect was not
being questioned in connection with
the Mattson kidnapping, but Anders
"wasquestioned about some other
kidapings," according to the Oman
Chief.
