WILEf SAYS DRY
VOTE IS USELESS
Points out 13 States can
Defeat Repeal; Will
Oppose tax Raise
PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 28
(AP) Opposition to an Increase
in federal taxes by the coming
congress was expressed here tonight-
by Representative . W-- C
Hawley, chairman of the house
ways and means committee. He
said he believed a majority the
committee members were also
against an increase. ,
Hawley also said he believed a
re-submission of the 18th amend
ments' would be "utterly useless."
"Repeal or modification Of the
amendment ean be defeated by 13
states," he said. "Certainly there
are still 13 dry states in the un
ion.". He pointed out that there were
three ways of meeting the defi
ciency in the treasury: increasing
taxes, Increasing indebtedness,
and a combination of the two.
"The last is not likely to receive
much consideration," he said.
"Taxes in nearly all Instances
are carried into the prices at
which commodities are sold,"
Hawley continued. "Manufactures
and producers now have difficul
ty in obtaining profitable prices
for what they manufacture or
produce. An increase in taxation
would aggravate their condition
and, In my Judgment, delay the
recovery of business in general.
