ELLON AGAIN IN 0PPOSING CANP Against Amendment fo First Deiciency Bill in Senate Washington, Jan. 23 (P—BSecre- tary Mellon again finds himself in opposition to legislation pending in the senate. | The senate had before it today Senator McKellar's proposed amend- ment to the first deficiency bill, which would place the settlement| of tax refunds in excess of $10,000| with the board of tax appeals rath- er than the commissioner of inter-| nal revenue. The senate also had| before it Secretary Mellon's letter in which he gave his reasons for opposing McK proposal, McKellar i ) on the pend- ing amendment said the treasury is the sole arbiter of claims and clared that this opens the unlimited returns and ma perative that the discretion of t commis: : be subjected to revision by another body. a spe Affect Law In his letter Mellon asserted that the Tennessee senator's proposal would seriously affect the tax law, machinery; would increase the work | ©f the board of tax appeals and would turn that board into a body having purely administrative powe “These tax refunds,’ McKellar @eclared, “including credits, during the last eight years have amounted to between four and five hundred gnillions a year. They are in the na: Sure of favors granted special ta payers. Those who are on the in- slde know how to get the returr “The way it is being conducted, #t is really a species of graft, ob- tained in secret, bartered for in| -gecret, the money paid in secret and with senate and house committevs flouted when they ask for informa-| sion.” | Secretary Mellon's letter sent to @hairman Smoot yr the senate finance committee, had not been gnade public at the time of Senator JMcKellar's speech but in it he said: | #No proof has been offered to show | sny improper payments.” “There is no evidence of malad- ministration, corruption of improper practices,” he continued. “There is| mothing to indicate that the present | machinery is not functioning smooth- | ly and with adequate protection the interests of the country. Why,| then, when it has been determined | that & taxpayer has paid more than | e ought should he be compelled *o wait three years in order to have his case reviewed by a semi-judicial | body? “The real issue is whether the in- come tax is to be rdministered by | the executive branch of the govern- | ment in accordance with every pre- | cedent and every sound principle of judgment or is to be turned over to the judicial branch. I have no hesitation in prophecying that the latter .course spells the complete breakdown of the income tax. Any tax that cannot be administered save by means of litigation and court de- cision cannot long survive.” . police to appear labout "| Rutn, aged 12, | various leaders of WOODWARD SAFE IN {ENGLAND WITH CHILDREN Now York Mam Abducts Offspring From Fashionable Paris School—Divorce Filed.

In turn Mr. Smythe was summoned by the before the com- missioner of the 16th ward to e “questioned as to what he knew | the “kidnapping.” Colonel Naeftzer, an American lawyer in Paris, also was summoned to make | similar explanations.
