PAGE 8 REVISION SEEN INEVITABLE ON INCOME TAXES Even G. 0. P. Conservative Is Convinced That Couzens Is Right. Bp Scrippt-Hottnrd V eictpaper Alliance WASHINGTON, April 29.—“ When the next congress convenes, ths sentiment for revision in income taxes, such as suggested by Jim Couzens and Bob La Follette, will be so great that all the administra tion's horses and all the administra tion’s men will be unable to prevent passage of such law. The measure will pass both branches of congress by an overwhelming vote.” This prediction has been made to administration leaders by a con servative Republican senator whose allegiance to President Hoover never has been questioned. Senator Couzens of Michigan, after spending the recess of congress studying income tax collections for every year since the World war, has announced that he will advocate in the next congress a drastic revision of the income tax to increase the burden on the wealthy. Gift Tax to Come Back He proposes restoration of the gift tax, abandoned in 1925, and a return to the 1921 scale of income taxes, to meet the $800,000,000 de ficit. Although he has not an nounced details of his plan, Senator La Follette is urging a large upward revision of income taxes in the higher brackets. Necessity for such tax increase so will appeal to the new congress, in the opinion of the conservative lead er quoted above, that its enactment by the next congress never will be a doubtful issue. Meanwhile, Secretary of Treasury Mellon, Undersecretary Ogden Mills and Senator David A. Reed of Pennsylvania are agreeing with a recent announcement by President Hoover that taxes need not be raised If the next congress is eco nomical in its expenditures. lowan Joins Couzens “It will make no difference whether the next congress is eco nomical or not,” this unnamed sen ator continued. “The money al ready has been spent and, as Cou zens says, the bills have to be paid. Senator Couzens’ plan just has obtained an influential advocate in Representative C. William Ram seyer of lowa, Republican member of the ways and means committee, who is being discussed as a candi date for Speaker of the house. Ramsever opposes further borrow ing to meet the deficit. $50,000 SUIT AGAINST LESLIE AIRED AGAIN U. S. Appeals Bench Takes Gresham Case Under Advisement.
