FIGHT WAGES OVE i TAXES OR CREDITS Democrats and G. 0. P. Inde- pendents Oppose Plan for | Levy on Sales. By the Associated Press. Determined opposition to the sales, tax proposal of Senator Reed, Re- | publican, of Pennsylvania, had arisen yesterday from both Democrats and Republican independents. However, the issue of whether to re- | vise taxes or borrow more money to | balance next year's budget was still, raging, and, there was every likelihood | that it wolld be settled only when ' Congress meets. | President Hoover ' and Secretary | Mellon, whose word will go a long way | in determining the tax dispute, are | going to wait until Congress meets in | an effort to get last-minute informa- ! tion on the trend of Government in- come and prospective expenditures. Harrison in Opposition. i Senator Harrison of Mississippi, the | ranking Democrat on the Finance Committee, speaking through the Dem- ocratic National Committee, has de- clared not only against tax revision. but specifically against the sales tax if there must be a revision. Senator Caraway, Democrat of Ar- kansas, joined in that view. asserting the sales tax proposal was “an attempt | to shift the burden of Government ' from those who have means to those who nced.” i Republicen independents, likewise, | have doclared unequivocally against the | sales tax. With Senator Watson of Indiana, the | pariy pilot, and the Democrats stand-; ing firmly against tax revision, it was believed President Hoover and _his Treasury chief would weigh carefully | all elements before recommending such action, Viewed More Favorable. The program advanced by Repre- sentative Bachrach of New Jersey, high ranking Republican on the Ways and Means Committee, was viewed more | Tavorably.. He proposed that rates on incomes above $100,000 be increased over the present 20 per cent flat levy: that the estate tax be boosted; a_ gift tax re- stored and sales taxes be levied on “luxuries and non-essentials.” This program coincides to a great extent with that suggested by Senator Couzens of Michigan, a Republican member of the Finance Committee, and by other Republican independents.

By the Associated Press. GRAND RAPIDS, Mich,, September 12—The unemployment problem is making Grand Rapids a safer and more beautiful city for its residents, includ- ing some 2,000 men who are benefi- claries of a “save self-respect” policy toward the jobless. Like the rest of the country, this city of 165,000 people faced the problem during the last two years of caring for an abnormal number of unemployed workers. It rejected the idea of a dole, either from the public treasury or from private charity, and chose in- stead to use the surplus labor to realize public improvements. Forty projects altcgether have been undertaken. They include creation of a new park, widening streets, rebuild- ing sidewaiks, making intersections safer, putting In new sewers, painting buildings, flling vacant lots, cleaning up the river banks and park foréstry work. “Calamity Bonds” Issued. These projects had been neglected for years because the city lacked the money for them. But money was found, partly through issuance of $650,000 in “calamity bonds,” under a ruling of the Michigan Supreme Court that un- employment is a_public calamity, for which emergency loans may be made. The plan put into effect in De- cember, 1929, and back of it was City Manager George W. Welsh, who started life as a newsboy. He insisted the self- | respect of the unemployed musi be saved.

They are paid in script, which is redeemable only at the com- munity provisions station, where food, clothing and fuel is provided at low prices. Work on Half-Day Basis. The fuel comes from the municipal woodpile, which is kept replenished by one group of the 40-cents-an-hour workers. They cut the wood from c'!'y property. which is being “beautified. When an unemployed man reports to the city he is given a physical exam- ination and other tests to determine what he can do. The applicants are classified as to their experience and skill before they are assigned to vari- ous tasks. So far, only 3 per cent have been foynd unabie to do any work at all. They have been given financial as- sistance. No man works more than half of each day. Those with the most dependents work six half days a week. The num- ber of half days decreases with the number of dependents. No city worker loses his status because he finds odd jobs when he is off duty. Rather, such ambitious men are encouraged.

More than two billion dollars will pass through the Treasury on Tuesday | when the quarterly financing securities | are sold, income tax received and ma- turing securities and debts paid. The Treasury's $1,117,000,000 security issue will bring in that much money, while it is estimated that income tax receipts ‘for the third quarter of the calendar year will total $270,000,000. On the other side of the ledger the ‘Treasury must pay off $634,000,000 in two certificate issues which mature that day and $30,000,000 in interest on the public debt. ‘Will Meet Debt Due, INU. . TURNOVER : ‘The new security issue of $803,000,000 in 3 per cent long-te.m bonds and $314,000,000 fn one year Treasury cer- tificates will be used to meet the debt due -on the 15th and provide money to operate the Government until the next income tax date on December 15. The income taxes, if they are up to e?flnflon!. will reduce materially the deficit which has piled up in the first two and a half months of the new fis- cal year and on September 10 amounted | to $466,690,497. On last Thursday the Government had. collected $269,713,041 since July 1, e expenditures for the same period totaied £736,403,539. The receipts were less than in the similar period of last yeor, when they amounted to $286.821.- 4676, and the expenditures were well | above those for the same time a year | ago, when they were 5596,442,822. | “Income tax collections for the fiscal | year to date had fallen off $12,000,000 o $60,653,175, while miscellaneous in- | ternal revenue drcpped $16,000,000 to $107,800,833. Customs receipts, which went upward for two months as com- pared with the same months last year, dropped off $550,000 in the first 10 days of September and for the fiscal year amount to $83,068,360, an increase of $14900,000 85 compared to & year 8go. | Expenditures Increase. | General expenditures f the Govern- | ment increased $116,000,000 in the fis- C, year ago, amount to $572,452.240. Since the start of the fiscal year on July 1 the Government has issued $559,000,000 of securities, of which $528,000,000 was in short-term Treas- ury bills. In the same period it has retired $502,000,000 in maturing securi- l!fl; of which $444,000,000 was Treasiry As the operations now stand, the Treasury has borrowed. $57,000,000 more than it has paid off and with the security sales Tuesday and the paid-off maturities taken into consideration will have borrowed $540,000,000 more than it:has retired in the two and & months, The drop in revenue from income taxes in the last fiscal year, which amounted to approximately $550,000,- 000, was reflected in the estimates of the amount that will be recelved in next Tuesday's payments. A year ago the September income tax payments amounted to $498,000,000, while this year estipates place the amount at $228,000,000 less. | While the September financing will take care of the Government's needs until December, the Treausry will be required to raise additjonal mcney then. On that date $990,000,000 in securities falls due and the income tax payments for the last quarter of the calendar year are expected to fall far below that of December, 1930, when they amouated to $496,900,000.
