(MELLON ORDERS |Not One Cent Pr ovided GREATER TAXES TO HIT WORKERS For Jobless Relief WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.— Im creased taxation, with the heaviest burdens on the workers and small business men and professionals, was urged by billionaire secretary of the treasury, Andrew Mellon, and his assistant, under-secretary Mills, before the Senate Ways and Means Committee, Melon, whose Income fs over $10,- 000,000 a year proposed that taxes be placed on movies, sages, such items as_ tobacco, telegraph other such items, instead of puiting heavier taxes on telephones, mes- and many his fellow bankers and exploiters. He declared that $920,000,000 would have to be raised through oreater taxation. Both Mellon and Mills admitted that the government is finding it difficult to issue any more bonds, as the last bond issue was nearly a flop. ‘The new tax proposals, Mellon said. would add 1,700,000 new taxpayers, most among the ranks of the workers and lower paid office employes. While talking about economy, not a word was said about the huge expen- ditures for war preparations Mellon and Mills both declared that the government budget must be “balanced,’ but purposely avoided saying anything about unemployment relief. The increased taxation which is to come out of the workers’ pockets is to go for increased war prepara- tions. The rich, for whom Mellon spetake and acts, will be guarded against tax increases. If by accident their taxes are increased, Mellon will revert to his old stunt of “tax refunds,” where- by billions are returned to the wealthy exploiters.
