High Surtaxes Deter
Investment, House
Committee Told
Treasury Official Also
For Termination of
Bond Exemptions
BACKGROUND

BACKGROUND
Through SeUeral national ud-
n,,n1StrationS, verbal support has
been giDen to ending tar er-
emptions accorded to Federal
State and local salaries and to
income from their securities. AS
court decisions gradually re-
moued belief that constitutional
barriers eristed, action lUas taken
this year to make salaries tar
able, but question of taking like
action on income from public
securities has aroused more op-
position.
By the Associated Press.
Undersecretary of the Treasury
John w. Hanes suggested to the
House Ways and Means Committee
today that high surtaxes on top
bracket incomes had a deterring
influence on investment extending
down even to taxpayers with smaller
incomes.
Testifying on a bill to remove tax
exemptions from Federal, State and
other governmental bonds, the
Treasury spokesman said such ex-
emptions had worked heretofore as
a lever to raise rates in the higher
income tax brackets.
Mr.. HaneS told the committee he
believed elimination of the tax ex-
emptions and reduction of the
higher individual surtax rates, now
ranging up to rs per cent, should
be accomplished in a single bill.
Single Bill Favored.
Appearing before the same COM
mittee late last month, Secretary
Morgenthau had recommended re-
ductions in the top income surtaxes
dependent on removal of the bond
exemptions. Mr.. Hanes told the
committee Secretary Morgenthau
since had made it plain to him that
he believed both types of revision
should be handled in single bill
High surtaXes," Mr.. Hanes said
"are some times defended on the
ground that persons with large in
comes hoard their funds, neither
spending nor investing them. It is
urged that high tax, by bringing
the money into circulation, would
help to restore prosperity.
"Hoarding of the type mentioned
takes place only during limited parts
OF the business cycle. The deterring
influence of heavy taxes would oper-
ate to create permanently the very
situation that is sought to be cor
rected temporarily. That is, when
heavy taxation discourages invest
ment, the result is likely to be more
idle funds rather than less.
Psychological Effect.
The fact that the top surtax rates
apply only to few persons does not
mean that they affect the invest
ment decisions of only those persons
The psychological effect of having
the high surtax rates continually
discussed in the press and in private
conversation is unfortunate, since
taxpayers whose incomes are much
too small to be subject to such rates
are inclined to consider their tax
burdens as if they were subject to
them"
Although President Roosevelt re-
Gently indicated the question OF
lowering some of the higher indi-
vidual income tax rates might be q
subject for study, he said it could
be considered only in connection
with the offsetting taxation of Gov
ernment bond interest, and Mr.
Hanes' testimony referred to the
possibility.
Besides the normal tax of 4 per
cent, the Federal income surtaxes
range up to rs per cent, but Mr.
Hanes said moderate reductions In
the top rates would result in only
a minor loss Of revenue" II

TOXIC, June 28.-The Japanese
government announced formally to-
day that at the request of the Brit
ish government it would negotiate
with Britain at Toxic on arbitra-
ton of the 2-week-old Tientsin dis
pute.
Britons hoped the negotiations
would be limited to the Tientsin
controversy. but japanese were de-
termined to include the question of
British support of japanese cur
rency.
The announcement today, con-
firming previous unofficial assertions
that the two powers would negoti-
ate, said merely:
I'm response to a British pro-
posal the Japanese government have
decided to conduct negotiations in
Toxic with a view to solving various
questions relating to the present sit
uation at Tientsin. japanese off,
cials concerned in Tientsin will be
summoned to Toxic for the pur-
pose."
Neither the foreign Office nor the
British Embassy were informed as
to when the Tientsin representa-
tives would arrive, but they were
expected within a few days. The
conferences may begin before the
week end.
Minimum Demands Stated.
Domei Japanese News Agency
reported from Tientsin that the jap
anese Army's minimum demands for
ending their blockade of the Brit
ish and French concessions in Tent
sin were:
l. Joint British-Japanese control
of terrorism.
2. Suppression of anti-Japanese
activities within the concession.
3. Full cooperation of economic
developments in North China.
4. The surrender of 5000 900 yuan
currently about st, 1863, ,O0O-held in
British banks in the Tientsin Brit
ish concession to the Japanese
dominated Peiping government This
money was deposited by Chinese
government organs driven from
North China and the Japanese in
sist the Peiping regime is now the
rightful owner.
These points are to be placed be-
fore the negotiators in Toxic, the
Domei dispatch said.
Foreign Minister Hachiro Arita
and British Ambassador Sir Robert
Leslie Craigie will be the chief
negotiators, while Shigenori Tashiro.
japanese Consul General, and Maj,
G A. Herbert. British Consul, are
expected from Tientsin to take part
The Japanese Army also is to be
represented, probably by 1t. Gen.
Masataka Yamawaki, vice minister
Of war, and officers from Tientsin.
Informed persons said that the
decision to hold the parley in Toxic
represented a compromise between
the extreme demands of the Tient-
sin garrison and more moderate
views of civilian officials in Toxic.
The decision was reached by Pre-
mier Baron Kiichiro Tiranuma, For
eign Minister Arita and War Minis
ter 1t. Gen. Seishiro Itagaki after
negotiations between Arita and the
British Ambassador.
The whole tone of the Japanese
press toward Britain, recently ex-
tremely bitter, suddenly changed to-
day. Prominence was given to as

Wheeler Is Opposed
To Third Term for
Roosevelt
Doubts If President
Will Seek Reelection;
Will Run for Senate

Carefully avoiding any direct crit
icism of President Roosevelt, Sena-
tor Wheeler. Democrat of Montana
today joined other influential men,
bers within the Democratic party
in opposing third-term candidacy
by Mr.. Roosevelt.
At the same time the Montanan,
vice presidential candidate on the
Progressive ticket of 1924, declared
he will seek reelection to the Sem
ate in 1910 and that he is not a
candidate for the vice presidential
nomination on any ticket.
He would not comment directly
on reports that friends of the pres
ent administration had approached
him with a proposal that he take
second place on the 1910 slate with
Mr.. Roosevelt at the top.
Doubts Third Term Try.
II do not believe Mr.. Roosevelt
will seek denomination" Senator
Wheeler said, land I'm sure great
many personal friends of the Presi-
dent would be opposed to his run
ming for third term. I personally
feel it would be a mistake for any
one to seek third presidential
term.
IF the precedent is once broken,
we might find a reactionary Presi-
dent some day seeking a third or
even a fourth term. 1t isn't logical
to oppose such an effort by Re-
publican and to espouse it by a
Democrat.
when the La Toilette resolution
Opposing a third term) was Of
fered in the Coolidge administra-
ton, I voted for it along with Sem
ators Norris, La Toilette and every
other progressive and liberal men,
ber in the Senate. I haven't changed
my mind"
Senator Wheeler's name has ap-
peared frequently in 1910 political
speculation, and in the face of ap-
parently improved relationships be-
tween him and the administration
leadership it was reported that he
might be placed on the national
ticket as a means of attracting Mid
west voters.
The name of Paul v. McNutt, high
commissioner of the Philippines,
former Governor of Indiana and an
avowed presidential candidate, also
has been mentioned of late as a pos
sible running mate for Mr.. Roose-
velt should the latter run again in
1910.
Senators Are Involved.
Closely involved in the uncertainty
surrounding the Democratic presi-
Dental ticket is the question of what
will be the attitude of the national
party organization toward certain
Democratic Senators who have
fought the President most diligently
in recent months.
Among those falling in this cate
CORY and whose terms expire in 1941
are Senators Burke of Nebraska,
Byrd of Virginia and Holt of West
Virginia, with King of Utah, Gerry
of Rhode Island and occasionally
OMahony of Wyoming sometimes
found among the opposition.
In 1898 Mr.. Roosevelt intervened
directly to oppose some Democratic
senatorial candidates, although this
strategy was signally unsuccessful.

Tacomas' golden jubilee celebration is his

spirit engendered in eight days of festivities
fingers on.
Never before has the community enjoyed
such a spectacular, thrill-making, glorious
series of events The tens of thousands of Wis
itors who thronged the city day and night saw
a never-to-be-forgotten show. And the pub
licity given the city has already travelled to the
far corners of the country.
All credit to the Woodworking men and
women who combined their talents, their ener-
gies, and their enthusiasm for the celebration.
Harry P Cain, chairman of the jubilee, made
an outstanding success with his organization.
He abored day and night to get that coordina-
ton so necessary to success. tremendous
vote of thanks is due him and his committee
for their achievement But we must not stop
now.
The old Tacoma spirit, aroused now to
fighting pitch, must not be permitted to lie
dormant We must keep marching forward.
We mustn't wait for another three or five dec
AIDES to do even greater things. Let's start the
ball rolling now and put on an annual celebra-
ton 1t is very much worth while. We have
had taste of success. Let's have more.
