Striking back at Representative Gar- ner, Democrat, of Texas, Secretary of the Treasury Mellon in a statement issued last night declared it was “simply preposterous” that any one shculd charge the Treasury could make tax refunds “for political or any other im- proper purpose.” Garner advocated congressional in- vestigation of income tax refunds. Mellon said it was significant that the Internal Revenue Bureau had collected far more in additional taxes than it had paid out in refunds. He also reviewed in detail the procedure for making refunds. Refunds Sum Small. “During the past 14 years,” he said, “the total amount of additional assess- ments resulting from office audits and field investigations has been $5,345,202,- 277, while the amount paid out in re- funds during the same period has been $1,254,317,890. “During that period the total Internal Revenue receipts have been $44,032,- 371,357, so that the amount refunded by the bureau has been only approxi- mately 2.8 per cent of the amount col- lected.” The Treasury Secretary added that the largest amount of refunds was due to court decisions or other causes over which the Treasury had no control. “Furthermore,” he continued, “the largest refunds in recent years have almost without exception been attrib- utable to the years of the war. At that time the Government was under the necessity $4,000,000,000 annually. The statute was new and complicated and under- stood by few. Payments.

But it you want to find out about Roosevelt, go to & little town in the South, where physical affiction predominates, and ask one of them if Roosevelt would be in any way & favor of Tammany Hall corruption, and for an answer you would be punched in the jaw by a cripple, the same thing that Roosevelt should have done to Tam- many Hall.

St el Income Tax Collections Increase. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, October 31 (#).—Missouri has collected about $250,- 000 more in State income taxes during the entire year 1929, L. D. Thompson, State auditor, reported yesterday. Thompson reported the amount collect- ed so far this year at $4,475,833, com- pared with a grand total of $4,252,489 last year. —_— always, however, the assurance that | ultimately these payments would be analyzed, that correct interpretations would be applied, that justice would be done and excessive payments refunded.” Mellon saild Garner's suggestion that | refunds be granted only upon court de- cisions “cannot be intended seriously,” adding that this would result in “such interminable delay as to break down the ! administration of our income tax sys- tem and would place an intolerable burden upon our already overworked Federal courts.” § WEST END LAUNDRY Phone Metropolitan 0200 eobesasos Here's the Chance You've Waited for— Beautifully Remodeled FUR COATS These Coats have been thor- oughly cleaned, smartly remod- eled, new. and the fur glazed — so s29=75 that they can't be told from EVERY COAT GUARANTEED AS REPRESENTED YOUR MONEY BACK IN 3 DAYS SATISFIED!!

Special Dispatch to The Star. CHICAGO, October 31 (C.P.A).—A regular bank bandits’ holiday is being enjoyed by bands of desperadoes now operating in the Middle Western States. Hardly a day passes without at least one spectacular bank hold-up and on Thursday, three occurred, two in Illinois and one in Wisconsin. At about the same time officials were rounding up the kidnap gang that had held for ransom Earl Yocum, Galva, Ill, bank president. Nebraska has been hardest .hit, with a string of four robberies in one week coupled with many more spasmodic raids. Illinois banks have been preyed on more frequently than at any time since the epidemic of 1925 and through Ohio. Kentucky, Iowa, Wisconsin, North and South Dakota and other Middle West and Southwest States, the forays have been increasing in number, Bankers’ Association officials advise b O, that the situation is very likely to be- come worse. They attribute the activity largely to locate bands of robbers who have found the small, ungarded country bank a vulnerable object of prey. But at the same time there are & few well organized and highly experienced gangs of bank bandits in the field. “In 1925 a program of protective measures was inaugurated and followed closely by Illinois bankers with the re- sult that bank robbery was made too dangerous for criminals,” sald M. A. Graettinger, secretary of we Illinois Bankers’ Assoclation. “The recent rob- beries are probably due to the fact that bankers are not as watchful as they used to be.” His recommendation is that a system of State highway police be built up and that a centralized bureau of identifica- tion for aid of county sheriffs be estab- lished to curb the growing bandit menace. In 1925 vigilante groups were organized in the towns and they per- formed some good work in frustrating robberies and capturing robbers. Reward Plan Abused. The Nebraska Bankers' Association is reported to have followed the Texas plan of increasing rewards for dead bandits. In Texas the system was abused through the attempt of crim- inals themselves to stage robberies so that they could shoot the robbers and collect large rewards. Tllinois’ experience shows that results FRIDAY, can be obtained by intelligent co-opera- | tion on the part of local officials. Dur- ing last year nearly 75 per cent of the bank robberies were solved and over 70 per cent of the men who robbed the OC'l'UBER 31, 1930. ‘banks either were slain or are now in prison. ‘The Bankers’ Association in this State maintains a protective association and its operatives aid county and city authorities in running down the bandits. .
