Senator Couzens, Michigan, eaid he favored immedi- ate tax revision but agreed that the Reed tax refund amendment to the $184,000,000 deficiency bill would enable corporations to retain part of the taxes they had collected from the people. Obfection to the amendment was voiced by Senator Glass, democrat, Virginia, on the ground that it would be of no avail to those who, had paid heavy taxes last year but would pay little or none this year. Lenroot Also Opposed Adding his voice in opposition, Senator Lenroot, republican, Wiscon- sin, in charge of the deficlency bill, said he had opposed the president’s plan immediately after it was an- nounced last summer. Resuming his argument for hi amendment, Senator Reed declared that spokesmen for the president in the senate had interposed a point of order agalnet his proposal in order to “prevent this congress from carry- ing out of the expressed will of the president.” “I am not undertaking to,speak for every democrat,” he sald, “but I think I know the sentiment jg the hearts of every democrat in the chamber well enough .tp essert they are all in favor of tax reduction They stand ready to rectify the wrongs that have been done.” | Reed Makes ‘Washington, Jan. 27 (UP) — Wealthy men “wine and dine” tax officials of the treasury and then negotiate with them for refunds, Senator Reed, democat, Mo., charged in the senate today, open- ing the fight for a 10 per cent tax refund on taxes payable this year. “These officials,” Reed said, “are wined and dined, and thereupon hearings are held and negotiations carried on with these individuals.” Reed said Willlam Boyce Thomp- eon, prominent republican leader, “had a hearing before a clerk and when these two men had come out of the room, Thompson's tax had been cut $520,000.” “That sort of business is appal- ling,” he continued. “I have heard of other cases, but they were not given in sworn testimony, so I won't tell of them here.

The most important is “an act concerning motor vehicle certificates of title and prevention of the theft of motor vehicles and to make uni- form the laws thereof.” The substance of the proposed law is that a certificate of title shall be presented by all automobile own- | ors at the time they apply for reg- | istration plates. Upon being eatisfied the applicant is of good character and has com- plied with the law as fully as possi- ble, the department of motor vehicle is authorized to issue the registra- tion certificate. Jail and Fine Provided The penalty for false statements jrogardmg the certificate would be one year in jail, a fine of $1,000 or | both. | Another feature of the proposed |1aw makes it necessary that all used car dealers in Connecticut be li- censed by the department of motor vehicles before they can engage in the sale of automobiles. Regarding the theft of automo- biles, the new law would require that any police officlal who has been notified of the theft of a car shall immediately notify the motor vehicle department. The depart- ment would then file all information {regarding the theft. Other Severe Penalties Severe penalties would be inflicted for the commission by any person of a felony in connection with the theft of a car or the defacement or alteration of numbers on the motor. For the commission: of such a felony, a sentence of from one to five years in the state prison, a fine of from $500 to $5,000 or both could be imposed at the discretion of the court. | Members of the uniformity of |laws commission include Ralph O.
