S. Senators in List of| Representative Garner Says Organized Propaganda | Is Behind Measure W hich Favors Big Interests And Ignores Small Income Earner. Charging that a “huge organized conspiracy of predatory interests” is endeavoring by nation-wide propa- ganda to coerce senators and repre- sentatives to support the Mellon tax legislation before all of its provisions are made known, Representative John Garner of Texas, ranking demo- crat on the ways and means commit- tee, issued a formal statement of warning last night. Representative Garner, according to the statement given out by the demo- cratic national committee, spoke with authority for the minority member- ship of the ways and means commit- tee, which has been considering the proposed tax measure for several weeks. . “Plain gnd conclusive evidence of this conspiracy, Representative Garner says, “i8 found in the wording of telegrams and letters belng re- celved by senators and representa- tives in Congress which are in iden- tical language, showing that they emanate from one source, although coming from various sections of the country. This is a form wften em- {ploved by these predatory interests to influence the unsuspecting public and to bulldoze, intimidate and co- erce representatives Come Before Bill Published. “In this case the propaganda ema- nating from this organized conspiracy attempts to coerce senators and rep- resentatives to support the Mellon tax bill before they have had the op- portunity to see the bill or to study and to understand its provisions. It is plainly evident also that the con- stituents of the senators and repre- sentatives who signed these messages could not have known all of the pro vistons of the Mellon tax bill, be-' cause most of the messages were re- celved before the bill was made public. “The unconscionable instigators of this conspiracy have not only sought in this way to brow-beat and cosrce Congress, together with the impiied threat contained “in these identical form messages, but they have at- tempted, and in a large measure ap- parently succeeded, in the attempt to mislead the public by keeping secret some of the most objectionable pro- visions of the Mellon tax bill while they were attempting to have the bill generally indorsed by the public be- {fore its provisions could be made known. Only through the insistence of democratic leaders has the bill | been made public in all its provisions, ! so that the people for the first time know now what the bill contains. “The discovery that the Mellon tax bill fails to give millions of farmers, tradesmen and small business men generally the relief they were told they would get by the Mellon bill propagandists, has fully justified the attitude of democratic and western republican congressional leaders in refusing to accept the measure in,ad- vance and without the opportunity to scrutinize its provisions. Many of those who criticize these leaders are now, in the face of the disclosures of the Mellon bil! inadequacy and inequities, urging its amendment to in its alleged benefit. Seek to Amend BilL “Even representatives of the Cool- idge administration on the ways and means committee of the House, who heralded Mr. Mellon’s proposal as per- fect and incapable of improvement, are also busy in efforts to patch up the bill to save themselves from the wrath of the millions of farmers, tradesmen and small business men against whopg the Mellon bill made such unjust discrimination, while Secretary Mellon, on the other hand, was framing his' plan for cutting in half the taxes of the very biggest in- dividual and corporate taxpayers. ‘The inequity in some of the pro- visions of the Mellon tax bill will Renting and being for inspection every .

How- ever, as evidenced by the files of the bureau of internal revenue, thousand of taxpayer are with- out exact knowledge of the re- quirements of the revenue act in relation to such obligations. The result is the filing of an in- correct return, frequently to the detriment of ‘the taxpayer who falls to take advantage of allow- able exemptions and deductions. As an ald in the preparation of individual income tax returns for the year 1923 the bureau of Inter- nal revenue has prepared a series of articles based .on the latest rulings and decisions governing the administration of ‘the revenue act. The salaried man, wage earn- er, professional and business man, farmer, In fact every class of tax payer, will be informed fully of the requirements and privileges. Taxpayers are advised to preserve these articles as a gulde in the making of their returns.

DECLARES OLD MEN DOMINATE CHURCHES Unitarian Pastor Here Says Re- ligious Leaders Lack Touch ‘With Age. tPeople are just beginning to realize, and it comes to them like an awakening from some horrid dream, that our great religious com- munions are dominated by men past middle life, by men who are rot in touch with religious currents of the present dey, with men whose scholar- ship has long been discredited, and that these men in power are doing their utmost to silence men like Bishop Lawrence and a minister like Dr. Buckner of Nebraska,” declared Rev. Dr. Ulysses G. B. Plerce, pastor of All Souls’ Unitarian Church, n his sermon yesterday morning at Keith's Theater. “These men are doing everything they can to throw mist in the eyes of men and women who shall give us the truth. Let us judge for our- selves,” declared Dr. Pierce, who, in speaking of the Bible, sald that to those who had made religious inquiry their chosen field of work, the books of Moses in the old testament rep- resent the accumulations and ampli- fications of several generations. ‘To take this as history, literal hoistory, is to do a thing just as ridiculous as If we should try to re- construct the early history of Great Britain from Tennyson's Idylls of the King”; said Dr. Plerce, who de- plored “that for two generations the officials of religion have withheld from the people the bread of truth, and by following the expedient of silence have allowed one generation upon another to come upon the scene unprepared to appreciate the modern interpretation of religion TEST OF U.
