Added Excise Levies
OF S905,o00,00o Due
To Fill Out Tax Bill
Liquors, Automobiles
And Gasoline Among
Items Considered

Congressional tax authorities were
prepared today to enter the last lap
of finding SO 500 900 900 in additional
yearly revenue, tentative recommen-
dations already accounting for more
than 50 $500, ,0OO 900 of this extra need.
Excise taxes-levies on liquors, au-
tomobiles, refrigerators, soft drinks,
gasoline, etc.-are being counted on
principally for the remainder of the
requirements, estimated at $685.
100000.
Yesterday the House Ways and
Means Committee decided tentative
ly on higher estate and gift taxes
to yield approximately $113700,0o0
more than current rates. Combined
with new individual income and
corporation taxes already tentatively
agreed on, these bring to about ST.
595 100000 the extra revenue antlci-
pated.
Hope to Finish Bill This Week.
Because of the death of Senator
Harrison, Democrat, of Mississippi
it was decided to defer action on
excises at least until Friday. Some
members said they hoped to COM
plete action on the entire bill by
the end of this week.
Chairman Doughton announced
that in recommending the new es-
tate and gift levies the committee
had decided to retain the present
lump-sum exemption Of $4,000 for
both estate and gift taxes.
The new rates would increase
taxes most sharply on relatively
small estates. The committee took
the view, it was said, that large
estates already were heavily taxed.
On estates between $45,000 and
$4,000, for instance, the rate was
jumped 800 per cent-from 2 per
cent to 6 per cent.
Example of Estate Tax.
Illustrating how the new levies
would apply, the committee said
that a net estate Of S50,000, before
the exemption of $4,000 had been
deducted, would pay tax of $495
as compared to 1920 under the
present rate, an increase of 125 per
cent. A net estate of S1,000,000
would pay s282,4O5 instead Of
s228,780.
The highest effective rate under
the new program would be 727, un-
der which a net estate of $l00, ,000,-
900 would pay $72 2,685 1886, compared
to s72 ,521 $3.50 under the present law.
The rates proposed by the COM
mittee are lower than those recon-
mended by the Treasury Depart
ment. The Treasury proposed to
lower the exemption to s25,000 from
$4,000, and suggested much sitter
rates, which. with the lower exemp-
ton, would have produced approx
imately $347 100000 additional rev.
enue as compared to the s113. zoe. 900
which the committee proposal would
raise.

Eucharistic Session
Father GiIIieon Makes
PIeo; $4,000 Attend
St. Paul Congress
By the Associated Press.

20 Vic SooOSidtc ASSos
ST. PAUL, June 24.-The road to
unity of effort between employer
and employe in world sundered
by war was charted today by the
Roman Catholic Church as 1t sum-
moned to this peaceful land Of lakes
its worshippers to the ninth Ma
tional Eucharistic Congress.
Presided over by Father Francis
J. Gilligan of St. Paul, the sectional
meeting on labor was opened with
this admonition from the priest,
long a figure in the oft-turbulent
labor scene of the Northwest:
There has been an unfortunate
tendency to separate religion from
all social living. Religion has been
considered a Sunday function, with
no relation to social problems.
Right of Worker.
However, it has been the policy
and teaching of popes that religion
has application not only to per-
sonal life but to social life. There
fore, the relation between employer
and employe must be examined in
the light of the Ten Commandments.
while the Catholic Church de-
fends the right of private prop
erty, it also defends the right of
the worker to a wage that will per-
NIT support of a wife and family
in decent comfort. The Catholic
Church also looks upon working
people as having the natural right
to form unions and to bargain COL
lectively."
Archbishop Samuel A. Stritch of
Chicago, who gave the sermon at the
formal opening of the congress,
described the attempt of moderns
to do away with the inescapable
fact of sin in human life" as the
root of all our great troubles"
$4,000 Persons Attend.
Before a great audience in the
Eucharistic center at the State Fair
Grounds, estimated by officials at
$4,000 persons, the archbishop called
on leaders of the world to drive from
their conduct of governments sin
against Christ's way of life.
Trouble and catastrophe have
settled on the whole world" the
archbishop declared. What has
happened? A thousand voices an
swer our questions. They speak of
Unequal economic opportunities, over
dense populations. maldistribution
of natural resources and impossible
trade barriers. All these things go
into the making of the tragedy. But
they are not its root and indeed
are related to its root only as seq
ondary causes.
The attempt of moderns to do
away with the inescapable fact of
sin in human life is stupid, foolish.
1t is the root Of our great troubles" )"
Under bright summer sky, the
papal legate to the congress, Dennis
Cardinal Dougherty of Philadelphia,
in front of the altar centered on a
huge platform before the Fair
Grounds grandstand began celebra-
ton Of the long pontifical mass.
