Opposition to the Mellon plan for tax revislon has confined itself al- most entirely tu the guestion of sur- tazen. The talk of compromise relutes to surtexes. The cry that the rich are being favored arises out of the pro- posal to reduce surtaxes. The answer t business couditions will improve baced on a bellef the produc- ity of lower surtax rates. The truth about new sortax rates rrobably will never be lcarned until the country actuully tries out on amended schedule. Senator Cuuzens Michigan, for instance, wauts to know why surtaxes should be ~educed to tmprove business when busin: isn't at all bad now. The split in the republican party over the schedule of surtaxes by Mr. Mellon grows out of a fear that to reduce the surtaxes will open mem- bers to attack from demagogues who will say the action favors the rich i i Anything that helps the rich will Established i The ‘““I 1861 : | Tev fl\" get lhrD‘lllfll;‘ C(\I:EI‘L** % F Street and Eleventh ""b';" Marks of Tools.

Mellon Wl Testify. But who knows? 'The ways and meana committee is beginning hear- ings. Secretary Mellon undoubtedly will testify. He interprets past ex-; perience and anaivzes tendencles based upon statistics. He has shown already that the government is ereadily losing revenue because the higher surtax rates are driving capital into tax-exempt necurities, Admitting that to be a tendency, he! must show now that the relef the €ountry needs will be afforded under & scale of 1 per cent to 25 per cent on surtaxes, instead of o higher 1imit of 44 per cent, as the demo- erats propose, or 85 per cent thosa who would compromise e Annual anuary Linen Sale Our entire stock of Linens, Blankets, Comforts, Sheets, Pillowcases, Scarfs, Tablecloths, etc., all substantially reduced.
