Washington, doc. s Both
qualified and unqualiried praise
of the new $325,000,000 tax re
duction bill was voiced today In
the Houbo where the bill is under
going Iho Inevitable period of de
bate prior to the time for its ac
tual passage.
The first criticism of conse
nnenre came from Representative
Rainey, a Democrat member of
the ways and means commitee,
who while approving the bill In
general, assailed the Increase In
personal exemptions and the alash
In the higher surtax rates. His
efort. however, was met by Rep
resentative Ilawley of Oregon,
another member of the committee
who described the measure as "the
best ever orfered to congress.'
Rainey Says nirli Knvorwl
Mr. Rainey who voted for the
Mil in committee, declared he
would not support It in the house
"unless materially changed.'
"What has happened in the last
two years." he asked, "to make
us out-Mellon the Mellon plan on
surtaxes?"
Ie also assailed the rev bed In
heritance rates, which he said
marte this tax "useless."
The cut in surtaxes gives forty
two men a reduction of $20,000.
000, Mr, Rainey said.. "Eliminate
the provision Increasing the ex
emptions and put . the surtaxe
maximum at 25 or 30 per cent,"
he said, "and you can cut all the
t.ixes off admission, automobile
and other business. You can de
feat this coalition which is so
friendly to the rich."
Representative Mills of
New
rorn, nnotner Republican mem
ber or the ways and means com
mittee, followed Mr. Rainey with
a general defense of the measure
and a plea that Is not to he amend
ed in any material way.
f 'lgnr Tax Out Not Hurried
The committee amended the
bill at a meeting today to make
the reduced cigar tax rates effec
tive SO days after enactment In
stead of at the time of enactment.
It also approved a provision to
allow a refund to dealers of the
difference between the old and
new taxes on stocks on hand at
the end of the thirty-day period.
Chairman Green estimated that
this action would mean a net loss
or about $300,000 to the govern
ment. Similar refund provisions have
been voted Into the bill regarding
the revised rates on passenger au
to and the committee probably
will take like action later for
dealers in automobile trucks.
Hnwley Given Detail.

ed In detail the effects of the In

(AMocuted Ptn, Letitd Win.) -WASHINGTON,
Dec. 9. Up
wards of a score recommendations
for strengthening the hand of the
law were placed before President
Coolidge and Congress today by
Attorney General Sargent and his
assistants in the annual report of
the Department of Justice.
Among other things. Mrs. Mabel
Walker Willebrandt. the assistant
attorney general in charge of pro
hibition enforcement.- asked for
heavier penalties (or prohibition
taw violators, a general overhaul
ing of the statutea dealing with
rum smuggling, and an increase
in legal and Judicial personnel to
expedite the handling of liquor
cases generally.
Penalties Too Light.
"The small penalties provided
by the national prohibition act."
wrote Mrs. Willebrandt. "are In
creasingly deplored by United Sta
tes Attoril'ys. Judges, and other
officials charged with duties and
conversant with conditions relat
ing to law enforcement. They are
disproportionate to the penalties
Imposed for violation of other fed-
fetal laws, and ab least for Illegal
manufacture, sale, transportation,
and Importations, acts receiving
particular conatltutlonal condem
nation, the penalties ahold : be
much higher. ;
Various phases of enforcement
were discussed by Mrs. ille
brandt, although she did not
touch on the recent reorganization
of the Treasury's enforcement
staff. She declared that despite
an insistent effort to expedite ac
tion in prohibition cases, tbe num
ber of such cases pending increas
ed from 22,380 on June 30, 1924,
to 25,334 on the same date In
1925. The number of criminal
liquor cases terminated during
thla twelve months period was 48,-
734. and included 39,072 convic
tions.
ftum Row Move Oiit.
In her discussion of rum smug
gling, the assistant attorney gen
eral declared that Nassau. Baha
ma Islands, had "lost some of its
prominence as liquor-smuggling
headquarters, and the port or Ha
vana, Cuba, is probably now the
main supply point on the Atlantic
side for international liquor smug-
The practical result of the
new rum treaties, she said, naa
been to move "Rum Row" further
out from American shores.
"During the fiscal year (end
ing with last June) and for a
reasonable period of time prior
thereto, "she continued," It may
he conservatively stated that over
300 foreign vessels have been en-
gaged from time to time In
tne
the
liquor-smuggling trade, and
great majority of
these vessels
have been British.'
