TWO CENT HOOVER ASKS SENATE TO PASS A SALES TAX ‘EMERGENCY HAS DEVELOPED,” PRESIDENT SAYS IN UNEXPECTED APPEAL DELIVERED IN Plan Is Rejected by Committee. 12 to 8. REVENUE BILL | DRIVE STARTS Excise Levy Is Now | Believed to Be Defeated. BY B. GOULD LINCOLN. A drive to pass the revenue bill | before adjournment tonight is un- Text of Hoover’s Speech N emergency has developed in the last few days which it is my duty to lay before the Senate. The continued downward move- ment in the economic life of the country has been particularly a celerated during the past few da and it relates in part definitel the financial program of the Gov- ernment. There can be no doubt that superimposed upon other causes the long-continued delays in the passage of legislation providing for such reduction in expenses and such addition to revenues as would bal- ance the budget, together with pro- posals of projects which would great- ly increase governmental expendi- tures, have given rise to doubt and anxiety as to the ability of our Government to meet its responsi- bilities. These fears and doubts have been foolishly exaggerated in foreign countries. They know frgm bitter experience that the course of der way in the Senate this a!ter-} noon. | Determination of the Senate feaders to put through the revenue bill to balance the budget was manifested after President Hoo- ver had made a surprise visit to the Senate and delivered, in per- F 13 a message urging speedy action to balance the budget, in order to meet an economic crisis. In his message to the Senate, | President Hoover declared himself | in favor of a general manufactur- | ers’ excise tax as a means of rais- ing additional revenue required to balance the budget. At a meeting of the Senate| Finance Committee immediately | following_the President’s address | to the Senate, that committee voted, 12 to 8, against the general manufacturers’ excise tax. The committee then adopted a substitute program, including a | tax of 1 cent a gallon on gasoline and a tax of 5 per cent on domes- tic gas and electricity. These taxes, plus the Connally amend- ment increasing income tax rates, Chairman Smoot an- nounced, would balance the bud- get. Harrison Urges Passage. Senator Harrison of Mississippi Democratic leader on revenue meas ures, rose in the Senate and suggeste that the Senate remain in session untl | the revenue bill should be passed. Senator Reed. Republican, of Penn- sylvania, agreeing that prompt action should be taken on the revenue bill, asked Senator Harrison to request the | abrogation of the order under which the Senate was to sit until 7:30 p.m. Senator Harrison adopted the Rced suggestion, and the order was abrogated, leaving it possible for the Senate to complete passage of the tax bill be- fore 7:30 or at a later hour tonight provided there is no filibuster or undus amount of debate. ae general manufacturers’ excise apparently is dead, although Sen- Walsh of Massachusetts, who is s oring the amendment for that tax, said he proposed to get a vote on it.

They do not realize that slow as our processes may be, we are de- termined and have the resources to place the finances of the United States on an unassailable basis. The immediate result has been to create an entirely unjustified run upon the American dollar from for- eign countries. and within the past few days, despite our national wealth and resources and our un- paralleled gold reserves, our dollar stands at a serious discount in the markets of the world for the first time in half a century. This can be and must b> immediately corrected or the reaction upon our economic situaticn will be such as to cause great losses to our people and will still further retard recovery. Nor is the confusion in public mind and the rising feeling of doubt and fear confined to foreign countries. It re- flects itself directly in diminished economic activity and increased un- emplcyment within our own borders and among our own citizens. There 1s thus further stress upon already diminished and strained economic life of the countr: Realizes Difficulties. No one has a more sympathetic realization than I of the difficulties and complexities of the problem with which the Congress is confronted. The decrease in revenues due to the depression by upward of $1,700,000.000 and the consequent necessity to re- duce Government expenditures, the sacrifice such reduction calls for from many groups and sections, the further sacrifice called for in the dist: ticn of the remaining bur- den by the impos.tion of new taxes all constitute a problem which nat- urally arouses wide divergence of sec- -tional interest and individual views. Yet if we are to secure a just dis- tribution of these sacrifices in such fashion as to establish confidence ir the integrity of the Government, we must secure an adjustment of these views to quick and prompt na- tional action, directed at one sole purpose—that s, to unfetter the re- habilitation_of industry, agriculture and unemployment.

PRESIDENT DECIDED ON TALK SUDDENLY 70 HOP TOMORROW Chief Executive Had Consid- Atlantic Flyer Confident De-: ered Message Scveral Days, but Acted Early Today. BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG. Although the President had been con- templating a message to Congress for several days and had sought the opinions of some of the Senators and his asso- clates, it was not until early this morn- ing that he reached a decision. He awoke at 5 o'clock and before a ing went over the subject in his several times. He hurriedly got into his dressing gown and went to the Lincoln stud: and immediately became engaged in the writing of what he wanted to say to the Senate. The President wrote in pencil ‘What he completed within the next hour was what might be described as rough form, but two hours later in the | Executive Office, he completed the work by dictating it to one of his stenograph- ers, With this first draft completed, the President then read it to his cabinet when these members of his official | family assembled at 10:30 o'clock for the bi-weekly cabinet sessicn. Sent Word to Senate. After oblaining the views of the cabinet and the Vice President, the Fresident then asked tae Vice President to carry the words to the Senate that he would personally appear at noon to address them. Following the cabinet session, Mr. Hoover set to work rearranging what he had written and preparing his copy for the copying machines. Because of varfous last minute changes made in his copy the printed copy for release was not ready to give out until about 5 minutes before the President returned to the White House, after reading the message to the Senate chamber. In discussing the background to this dramatic incident today, Mr. Hoover was represented as saying that he had this course in mind for several days, and had discussed it with Senate lead- ers and others. He had two major united action on a revenue-raising and budget-balancing program as well as a plan for relief; second, the acute situ- ation that has arisen regarding the American dollar abroad, which became further acute last night. Conferred Last Night. Information from abroad which had given President Hoover concern was brought to him before he retired shortly after midnight. He had conferred earlier in the evening with a group of Democratic Senators, with Owen D. Young, Charles G. Dawes and the Sec- retary of the Treasury sitting in. After that conference, the President conferred a long time in his private study with Secretary Mills, when the entire subject was threshed out from every angle. It was in that state of mind that the Président retired, and it was in that state of mind that he awoke five hours later and resolved to act. Blast Kills Six in France.

The Senate made a dramatic | drive for new taxes today as Sec- retary of the Treasury Mills, in a ;rocm just off the chamber, warned |that the Government credit re- quired that $285,000,000 more be | written into the revenue bill. | Increased income tax rates, pro- posed by opponents of the sales tax, were voted, 86 to 3, as the Senate responded to the appeal for more funds. This added between $70,000,000 and $100.000.000 to the estimated total of $840,000.000 Mills made to- day. He said the bill must raise $1,125.000,000 to balance the budget. In a secret session of the Finance Committee, the Treasury chief presented alternative pro- posals for raising the 3200.00({'000 more. Orne alternative was the disputed sales tax, and this recom- mendation immediately threw the committee into argument. The alternative advanced by Mills was a Federal gasoline tax and a strengthening of the admis- | sions levy. Committee Withholds Decision. This was the first time the ad- ministration had recommended | the sales tax, which is still to be voted upon in the Senate, but 'afamst which 55 members were pledged yesterday. The Finance Committee withheld any lecision on Mills' recommendations of ew taxes until after it had heard the message which President Hoover deliv- ered at noon. One of Secretary Mills' recommenda- tions was a gasoline tax estimated to yield $150,000,000. Another was a re- turn to the lower exemption of 10 cents on admission that he formerly proposed. Restoration of the lower ad- mission exemption, he said. would yield | $55.000.000, making a total from the | two proposals of $275.000.000. de ny sylvania, told the Senate Mills had “very strongly” recommended a sales tax to the committee. “The Secretary told the committee said Reed, “that it would be accepted by the country and the world that we were putting the tax on a broad, firm base that would make balancing the | budget no longer a matter of doubt.” Atmosphere Tense. There was a tense atmosphere about the Senate as the conclusion of the gruelling tax grind neared. Almost a complete attendance of the member- ship was on the floor at 10 o'clock. In the gallery sat Mrs. Mills, wife of the Secretary, in the President’s reserved ection. ; With her was Representative Ruth Baker Pratt of New York. The income tax rates voted today by the Senate are the highest since the close of the war. In addition to apply- ing normal rates of 4 per cent to the first $4,000 and 8 per cent to income above $4,000, the schedule eliminates the allowance in the law for an earned income deduction. Income Rates Compared. | The Connally amendment boosting the income tax rates was passed shortly after Secretary Mills had conferred | with the Finance Committee. Income | were 3 per cent on the first $4,000. 6 per cent on the next $4,000 and 9 per cent on income above $8,000, with a | maximum surtax of 45 per cent. Existing income rates are 1':, 3 and 5 per cent on these income brackets, | respectively, with a maximum surtax of 20 per cent. Shrinkage in income was blamed by Mills in his committee testimony for the failure of the original estimates to meet demands of the Treasury. He originally had estimated the bill would raise $963.000,000 instead of the $840,- 000,000 he estimated today. While Mills argued with the Finance (Continued on Page 2, Column 1.

By the Associated Press Appearing in the unusual role of wit- ness, Speaker Garner today urged the House Ways and Means Committee to " report legislation for direct relief “of the starving and suffering people in this country. He was the first witness on his $2,309,000,000 relief measure, but he ex- plained he preferred to leave to others discussion of the merits of his bill. He said he would discuss only the “policy” of the proposed legislation. It was the first time in the memory of the oldest Representatives that a Speaker had forsaken the presiding of- ficer's dais for the witness chair before a committee. Speaking in a quiet voice, Garner said reports from all over the country indicated a large number of persons faced starvation unless relief were af- forded. Committee Room Crowded.
