(Bpecial Correspondent of The Even- | ing World.) | WASHINGTON, July 28 (Copyright | 1921.) —Taxes for the year 1921, which mvust be paid next March, will be re- duced siighily, if at all. The painful truth that, after all the | talk about economy, the American taxpayer will not be rid of his war burden is at last being admitted by! leaders of the Republican Party Secretary Mellon of “ho Treasury De- partment, on the one hand, has told the Ways and Means Committee of | the House that, judging by what has | happened thus far, fully four billion dollars in revenue will be needed to run the Government, and Senator Penrose has intimated, on the other and, that ho had littie hope of seeinz | taxes reduced. It will be remembered | that Secretary Houston of the Demo- | cratic Administration told the coun try last year that he did not believe Government expenses could be cut below four billion, and that, there- fore, all promises of lower taxation were unwarranted. | So a Republican Secretary of th ‘Treasury now agrees with a D i cratic Secretary of the Treasury in naming four billion dollars as the Government budget, and all hopes of} lower taxation are going a-glimmer-| ing. Mr. Mellon has gone a step furs | ther by telling the Republican ¥ and Means Commi*tee another painful fact, namely, that the Tariff Bull, about which there bas been so much! controversy and which has just passed the House, will not yield more than o- | $450,000,000 annually, and pertap less. Originally it had been estimated that the new tariff would furnish $600,000,000. Thus the Fordney tariff) will bring only about one-tenth of the| total revenue needed to run the Gov-| ernment. There was a time when a| tariff bill would yield about half the, revenue of the Government, but that was when the United States Govern-| ment could be managed with a single] billion dollars. Secretary Mellon's statement that the new tariff would yield only one tenth o fthe revenue needed is a gentle hint to Congress that means must still be provided to raise the ether nine-tenths, namely, three and | a-half billion dollars While the excess profits tax will be repealed, the truth is that particular prov of the Excess Revenue Law | has been automatically repealed by | (Continued on Second Page.» SS ee CALLS IT ONLY LAW GENTLEMEN CAN BREAK, Madden Charged With Having) Bottle in a Restaurant.
