OF G National Body to Make Study in Move to Curb Com- munity Expense. ‘The Chamber of Commerce of the United States is to undertake a nation- al study of State and local taxation, with a view to curbing community ex- penditures. Lewls E. Peirson, president of the chamber, today announced appointment of a special committer to pursue the study, and selected Pelix M. McWhir- ter of the Peoples’ State Bank of In- dianapolls for the chairmanship. The chamber, which was recently in disagreement with .resident Coolidge in the extent of tax reduction by the Fe-eral Government, is committed to “the principle of sane economy in pub- lic ...penditures,” Mr. Plerson declared, and it belleves that “intelligent budget- ing, simplification of tax procedure and | an orderly program of public spending cannot but case in some measure the demands of Government upon its cit- izens for money support” The pro- posed study will concern itseif exclu- sively with State and local taxation Asked $400,000,000 Tax Cut. Previously the chamber conducted an inquiry among its membership to de- termine its position on Federal tax re- duction. *© Upon completion of the in- quiry announcement was made that in the opinion of the chamber tax reduc- tion of $400,000,000 should be effected even if a slight deficit were incurred. In accepting the chairmanship of the chamber’'s committee, McWhirter de- clared that “eternal vigilance and re- lentless insistence that the public get a dollar’s worth of value for every dol-| lar spent is a cardinal need.” 1 “State and municipal expenditures.” | he continued, “have reached totals in recent years which compel the con- sideration and constructive effort of the taxpayers themselves. “To the extent that local chambers and trade organizations inform them- selves of loclf fiscal conditioss and in sist that every public transaction be consistent with wise, constructive econ- omy, just to that extent will this effort | at reform succeed.” Other Members Named.
