INHERITANCE TAX RAISED
Another Slice to Be Taken From

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16 Ways and
means committee Democrats met today
and informally agreed on a revenue
programme embracing a bond issue of
3289,000,000, an Increase of the estate
or inheritance tax to produce S22.000,
000 and an 8 per cent tax on excess
profits above 8 per cent on capital of
corporations and partnerships.
In addition, temporary certificates
of indebtedness may be decided on up
to $100,000,000 to run until June 30.
The President, Secretary McAdoo and
Chairman Kitchin have agreed to that
programme.
This ia the programme as now ar
ranged: Inheritance or estate tax to produce
122,000,000.
Tax of -8 per cent on all over 8 per
cent net profits on business of coroora-
tions and co-partnerships with income
cz 15000 a year and-over to net 1214.

group, by establishing headquarters in
Washington, where it would be very
inconvenient for Chirman Willcox to
be. by restricting his control of pub
licity and financial matters, endeavored
so to humiliate him as to force his
resignation and allow their man to
assume the chairmanship."
-ine real reason, the statement Fays,
for opposition to Willcox. is his effort
to make the Republican party "respon
sive to the wishes of the rank and
file." and because the men who opposed
him "know only too well that if Chair
man Willcox succeeded in his endeav
ors, they, instead of he. would be shorn
of power." Their action yesterday was
declared to" be "one of pure self-interest,
without the slightest regard to the
welfare of their party or their coun
try." -
In conclusion the statement calls for
speedy uniting of all elements op
posed to the Democrats.
When this statement - was shown to
Mr. Willcox he glanced at it hastily
and refused to comment 'or it, saying
that "it was the expression of personal
opinion and I do not want to enter a
discussion of another man's opinions."
MR. WIIXIAMS NOT WORRIED
Harmony Expected to Be Brought
About by Fall Committee.
Ralph E. Williams. Republican Na
tional committeeman for Oregon and
a member of the National Republican
executive committee, is not disturbed
by the "tempest" which resulted from
the meeting of Republicans in New
xork Monday. Mr. Williams was in
vited, but was unable to attend, al
though he sent his proxy to C. N. Mc
Arthur, Representative in - Congress
from this district, who attended the
executive committee's meeting.
Tthe executive committee ia com
posed of only 11 members and if any
thing vital comes up, it will be when
the full committee meets, which I pre
sume will be some time in February,"
said Mr. Williams. "I understood
from Mr. Willcox's letter that making
up the deficit was the principal thing
to come up at the New York meeting.
I believe whatever misunderstanding
or- trouble resulted there will be
straightened out satisfactorily. I don't
believe the executive committee has
any Jurisdiction in the contention and
meeting of the full committee will
restore harmony, if "it actually hai
been upset.

ATLANTA, Ga. Jan. 16. After i

tary of the Progressive National Com
mittee, and- Georgia leaders of the
Progressive party, plans were an
nounced for a mee; ng here February

In a statement tonight referring to
the action taken by George W. Per

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington.- Jan. - 16. Representative
McArthur, . who sat with the executive
campaign, and the opposition of some) committee of the Republican National
men in the East to the election of Mr.
Adams will seem to many fair-minded
men to be ungracious."
Perkins' Statement Is Protested.
The Perkins statement declares that
the election of a vice-chairman was ac
oomplished over the protest cf Messrs.
Jlert, Howell and Parsons and Chair
man Willcox, and that such selection
of a vice-chairman by the executive
committee was without precedent.
"By forcing the appointment to an
Issue over the protest of the chairman,
and by "the refusal to allow the na
tional committee itself to pass on the
appointment," the Perkins state'meit
declares, "these men took no chances.'
"They proposed to see." It continues,
"that a vice-chairman of their
own selection was installed. They per
formed every act they could think of
to button up as tightly as posible in
the hands of their own little clique the
entire organization of the party,
"The men who did this were Hemen

Mr. McArthur was one of those who
voted to elect National Committeeman
Adams, of Iowa, as vice-chairman of
the National Committee, an action
that was not approved by National
Chairman Willcox. Mr. McArthur is of
the opinion that the National Com
mittee if called upon to ratify the ac
tion of the executive committee will
approve the selection of Mr. Adams,
Mr. McArthur found that there is
much discord under the surface. If
the object of the Monday meeting was
to bring about harmony, Mr. Mc
Arthur is unable to testify to the en
tire success of the conference.

fectly obvious that one or the other of

Lawson again brought the names of
Secretary Lansing. Count von Bern
storff and Bernard Baruch into bis tes
timony as the men Chairman Henry
had told him he had heard "leak" ru
mors about, and elaborated on his
story told yesterday regarding Henry's
alleged -statements concerning them.
In that connection, in answer to In
quiries by Representative Garrett.
Lawson said he never had asserted that
Henry had told him anything about
Secretary McAdoo. the mysterious
"Senator O" and H. Pliny Fisk. The
Cabinet member Henry spoke of. Law
son said, was Mr. Lansing, and the
banker .Mr. Baruch. Information, Mr.
Lawson said, which he received in re
gard to McAdoo. Fisk and "Senator
O." came from another source which he
did not. reveal.
Story Told In Mack Detail.
- The Boston financier Insisted on
reciting, to the committee in great de
tail the disputed confidential confer
ence with Chairman Henry. For more
than an hour he recounted what he
had said to Henry and what he alleged
Henry had said to him. With regard
to his testimony yesterday bringing in
the names of Secretary Lansing and
Baruch, Lawson said he had forgotten
to add that Henry had told him the
committee had received information
concerning the substance of all of one
of Secretary Lansing's alleged conver
sations with Barucn in New York and
part of another.
Lawson was questioned closely con
cerning the letter he received from
Mrs. Visconti. the missing witness, and
his conference with her at a local ho
tel. When Representative Pou asked
him if he had not previously acquitted
Secretary Tumulty of any connection
with the leak, Lawson declard he never
had Mr.Tumulty in mind respecting
it until he met Mrs. Visconti.
Ulterior Sfotlve Suspected.
Even then, Lawson said, he told the
woman her efforts seemed to him to
have been actuated by an ulterior mo
tive. She insisted, he said, in the pres-
nce of her attorneys, that she had no
such motive, but wanted to disclose
information she thought Congress and
the public should have.
Asked by Representative Pou why
he had not acquainted Secretary Tu
multy with the information given by
Mrs. Visconti. Lawson declared that be
never had any intention of making the
woman s letter or her statements pub
11c when he did, and that he would not
have done so yesterday had the com
mittee not demanded that he give them
all Information in his possession on
pain of punishment. Lawson said he
had sought a conference with Mr. Price
but that reports which came to him
concerning his effort caused him to let
the matter drop.
Tumulty Again Mentioned.
He said he probably never could have
gotten up bis courage to go to Tu
multy in view of all that had taken
place since the inquiry began, but that
he had spoken to Mrs. V isconti about
that very subject.
"I suggested that very thing to Mrs.
Visconti." he said, "and I think one of
the things she said to me was this: 'I
have repeatedly tried to get to Mr.
Tumulty today since I sent you that
letter before we went any further. I
called Mr. Tumulty on the telephone
and he said I could not see him and
would have to give him any informa
tion I had over the telephone. When
would not do this be cursed me out
in a way-1 wouldn't stand from any
one.
Lawson told the committee that there
was "something sad, pathetic and awful
about this thing" which he was not in
a position to disclose, but that the com
mittee surely could get it from Mrs.
Visconti.
people and to the Republican party."

General Inquiry Planned.
Members of the committee said the
purpose in calling the ew York fi
nanciers was to question them regard
ing business fn financial circles gen
erally during December. They will be
asked particularly, it was said, about
reports that some of the bankers had
warned stock exchange men against
pryamiding further in industrials, and
told them to buy more freely of rail
way stocks.
Lawson was temporarily dismissed
but ordered to remain in Washington.
More than a score of witnesses were
waiting to be heard. Among them were
McAdoo. Tumulty, Price, Warburg and
others whom Lawson mentioned as
having knowledge of the, leak. All
have Issued statements repudiating his
testimony.
Talks With Publishers Related.
At the beginning of today's session
Lawson related the substance of talks
he had had with several publishers on
the subject of the leak. He said he had
told them he would like to see an in
vestigation, but there would be none.
Then he suddenly broke off.
"Unless your chairman said what I
say he . said 1 am guilty of foul per
jury," he dramatically declared. "I'm
guilty of foul perjury and unfit to be
anywhere outside the bars of a prison."
"I was much worked up about the
Henry statement." Lawson continued.
"We had agreed on one. He had said:
You word it." I did. and he said it was
fair and gave both sides, and we shook
hands on It. When 1 read his state
ment it appeared unfair. It looked -as
though in the three hours and a quar
ter he had asked me over and over
again to give ' him names and that I
had failed.
"I will say that In view of all that
has1 occurred, here it lsright that you
should hear all I have to say. When
there is a direct difference of opinion
stronger than veracity raised, it is
perfectly obvious that one or the other
of us is committing perjury, deliber
ate, rank perjury. This is no syndi
cate or National bank meeting. This
is a meeting of a high committee of
Congress. In my opinion there is noth
ing of greater importance than for
your committee to arrive at a fair and
honest decision, and to do that you
must hear what I have to say.
Stormy Wrangle Follows.
Representatives Garrett, Foster and
others objected to Lawson a argument.
and there was a stormy wrangle, in the
course of which Lawson shouted his in
sistence that he should be heard fully.
Lawson resumed his narrative of his
meeting with Henry, reiterating that
the chairman told him the "leak" was
too serious for an investigation at this
time, but that he favored a general in
quiry into the stock market. Lawson
said he indorsed that, and levealed to
Henry that he had much .o do with
the money trust Inquiry, though Henry,
a member of the committe, was una
aware of it.
"Here is a chance," I told Henry, "to
duplicate that. It is the greatest thing
that can be done for the American peo
ple." the witness went on.
"Go to Wall street and set up shop,"
was the advice Lawson said he gave
Henry. There, he said, all of the Stock
Exchange members could be summoned
with their books and clerks and be
forced to reveal the inside of transac
tions." Referring again to his conference
with Henry concerning Secretary Lan
sing and Bernard Baruch, Lawson de
clared Henry told him the committee
had the substance of all of one of Lan
sing's talks at the Biltmore Hotel with
the New York broker and the substance
of part of another.
Promise Made to Blow Off
"I said to Henry, 'go through it from
A to Z,' " Lawson testified. 'and before'
you are one-third done the lid will be
blown off. Congress will know and the
world will know who the hypocrites are
that are making millions.' That was
what we talked -about In the three
hours and a quarter I was with him.
He asked me one thing before we
left the meeting: 'I ask you to do this,
he said. 'Throw the newspaper men off
the scent. We cannot gain anything by
letting them know that we are coming
back here at 3 o clock." "
So I met Mr. Henry again at 3
o'clock." Lawson continued. He said to
me: 'Lawson, I'm sorry that we can't
do what you say. I agree with you that
it is a great thing and a good thing and
all I regret is that 1 am going out of
office on the fourth, of March.'
"I said that there was time enough
yet to do something. "Then Henry said
that since we had parted in the morn
ng he had thought it all over and
that he had come to the conclusion
that the matter was too serious to
have made public now. He then added:
v hat do you say if we get at it again
in 80 daysr
I said not at all. It would be side
tracked by that time and we will
never have the opportunity again."
How lmei Were Mentioned.
State the way in which the names
came to be mentioned first, in your in
terview with Mr. Henry," said Repre
sentative Campbell, Republican.
I entered the room and the chair
man said nice things to me. He wheeled
up a chair and said: 'Take a "comfort
able one.' I asked him to have one of
my cigars and he asked me to have one
of his cigarettes.
"Then he said: "We've been through
these things, and let us be fair with
each other.
"I said to him that I thought hi,
committee would dispute his right to
hold a star chamber session of this
matter, and that I probably should
have to talk to the committee. He
said: 'No; it's my duty to do this.
There are hundreds of things that come
before this committee, many of them
worthless charges, and it is my duty
to sift them and to see whether they
should be given to the committee.'
" "Very well. I said, 'but it is under
stood that we are to think out loud
We shook hands on it and Henry said
" 'That's it, exactly. What's proper
to give to the public or the committee
we'll give, and what isn't, we'll hold
in conlidence.'
"I said that was agreed.
" "Now," I said, 'don't ask me to give
names of men who have told me things
n confidence, and we had a long talK
about that and finally he said. 'All
right, but sometime I am going to have
those names or there won t be any in
vestigation.
