TREASURER FLAYS
IN NEW TAX BILL
WASH1NOTON. April 6. ( AP)
Administration objections to the high
taxes on corporations, security trans
fers and estates written Into the new
revenue bill by the house were put
before the senate finance committee
today by Secretary Mills.
The secretary said the rates and
some of the administrative changes
in the new bill would tend to "dis
courage the normal flow of capital
Into Industry and commerce at a time
when business men are hesitant and
Industry stagnant."
The sections of the bill to which
he objected were: The Increase of cor
poration affiliates; the tax on divi
dends from corporations; balancing of
net losses of one year against the pro
fits of the next; the maximum 45 per
cent estate tax, and the taxes on stock
and bond transfers.
Several times Mills departed from
his statement and raised his voice to
assail particular levies.
'How can the railroads, prostrate on
their back," he asked, "get the capi
tal they must have while these puni
tive business taxes prevail?"
Replying to questions, Mills -said
the treasury complaints were not di
rected so much at the high rates but
rather at new levies "imposing dou
ble taxation on business."
ELKS TO INSTALL
MEET T

I was there at the opening.

Ry the way, wonder what
ever became of "Doc" Woolley,
that was a member of tho orig

a nice soul as I ever met. I
hated to see her banished to
Siberia like that.
I tell you the whole world is
"cockeyed" and we mustn't be
surprised at anything.
JIr. Coolidge, who never said
an unkind word against any
body, in fact, talks less than
anybody, he rn-v $2300 for
talking too much.
I look to see John D. Rocke
feller Sr. arrested for vagrancy.
Yours, WILL.
