ASSERTS DEMOCRATS WILL STOP GAPS IN REVENUE STATUTES Garner Says $200,000,000 Will Be Raised Without In- creasing Taxes Washington, Dec. 29.—(P)—Speaker Garner said Tuesday the Democrats expect to raise $200,000,000 in revenue without additional levies of taxes as one method of meeting the treasury deficit. ‘The increased revenue, as outlined by him, would be obtained by enact- ment of amendments to existing laws to stop loopholes through which taxes are evaded. This is one phase of the study the ‘Texas representative conducted last summer into present revenue legisla- tion, with a view to perfecting the revenue law. At a conference with newpapermen, Garner said some of the holes in the Jaw were left intentionally, while others had not been. He declined to divulge what they were, but it is known he has made an exhaustive study of many court decisions on tax appeal cases. Asked directly whether the Demo- crats had formulated their tax pro- gram, Garner replied: “If you are talking about the or- ganization, we have not. Some dif- ferent individuals have compiled their own programs and have, even gone so far as to put them down on| paper, but there is no agreement.” “No one can tell what the 25 men on the ways and means committee will report to the house a month away, because no one knows.” Reminded that Chairman Collier of the ways and means committee and! Representative Rainey of Illinois, the party leader, ‘had differed on several proposals to increase federal revenue, | the Texan reiterated they were voic-, ing their own opinions. The senate-house Democratic po- licy committee, Garner stressed, has not decided yet on a tax increase pro- gram. It will take that matter up along with tariffs at a meeting to be called next week. Garner predicted the Democratic house would pass a tariff bill this session, but added that “I won't tell what kind of a measure it will be.” The policy committee, he explained, had not yet reached an agreement on’ the tariff question. Ashurst Resigns as Committee Memher Washington, Dec. 29—(®)—Describ-| ing attempts to change the prohibi-/ tion laws as “a ridiculous waste of effort,” Senator Ashurst, Democrat,’ Arizona, Tuesday withdrew from a senate judiciary sub-committee named to hold hearings on the sub- Ject. a statement Senator Ashurst In ‘said: “I voted for the eighteenth amend- ment, for the Volstead law, for the; 34, anti-beer bill and for all the ap- propriations necessary to enforce the same. “I do not believe I made any mis- take in so voting. “I have no time to waste in aiding those who are attempting to weaken or relax that amendment or those! laws. It is a ridiculous waste of ef- fort to attempt to relax or modify the prohibition laws. The people are looking for jobs, not jags.” Another friend of prohibition, Sen- ator Black, Democrat, Alabama, was| appointed to fill Senator Ashurst’s Place by Chairman Norris, of the judiciary committee. | Man Is Killed by |.

Meanwhile, the party leaders are devoting more and more attention to the possibilities of the various presi- dential potenitalities. Discussion re- cently has centered on whether fred E. Smith intends to seek renom- ination. On that there is much division of opinion. While many of the con- gressional leaders have declared for Governor Roosevelt of New York as nominee, none so far has proposed ‘Smith as a candidate and the recent stories that he might be an active contender again have caused consid- erable speculation. Also, the names of Newton D. Bak- er, of Ohio, and Governor Ritchie of ‘Maryland, recur regularly in the par- ty conversations. The friendship between Smith and Raskob is well known.
