PROPONENT OF NEWEST TAX SCHEME ON STAND Sawyer Says Tax on Bank # posits Would Net Government Billion a Year. Henry B. Sawyer of Boston, origi- nator of the plan to levy a small tax on bank deposits as a substitute for jthe excess profits tax, told the com- mittee on ways and means -yesterd: would produce $700,000,000 annually | {while a tax of one-fourth of 1 per cent would produce $1,750,000,000, Mr | Sawyer, who is treasurer of proper ties managed by Stone & Webster said his proposal in realify wa a stamp tax on bank deposits, that it was simpler than most substitutes for existing laws, was easily understood and easy of collection. Questions asked by members of th {committee {ndicated some opposition Mr. Sawyer emphasized that the bil Before the committee was most tent 4 tive and had been introduced mer as a basis for discussion. Mr. Sawyer said he believed that two or-three tax laws could be ena ed which would raise revenue much better than it is raised at present by fifty laws. profits tax, the capital stock and the were so burdensome that they must be modified. . Sawyer sald it was possible the tax would lie heaviest against the trading on exchanges, but cent would be 5o heavy a burden that it would result disastrously to the country by unduly restricting these transactions. The -tax, he said, un- doubtedly would cause the total year- ly deposits of the country to shrink slightly, as some way would be found tv’ eliminate ‘one’ br two motions in transfers as made now. Representative John Garner, rank- tee, raised the poirnt that if a man borrowed $10,600 for fifteen days at 6 per cent interest and deposited the money in a bank he would pay as much for the deposit as he would in interest. “Business cannot be done that way in America,” he remarked. Former Representative Burke of Pennsylvania voiced the opposition of certain bankers when he said that the Sawyer proposal was vicious, that it would be destructive to the bank- ing structure of the country and that it would drive money into ‘stocks and socks.” ™" -_— TEACHERS ARE PRAISED.

Moore, chief natur- alization examiner, at a meeting of the Americanization committee of the | District of Columbia D. A. R. last night in the Thomsor School. Mr. Moore also pointed out that there is greater need of legislative provision for the Americanization of foreign-born aiready within the United States than.for the regulation of immigration to these shores. Teaching the child American man- ners and customs, while the parent remains ignorant of even the lan- guage, simply engenders the destruc. tion of the American foreign-born home, he said. MAJ. J. T.
