Why the holler? A man making $20.000 pays almost. twice the rate as one making $10.000. so why not the man making $200.000 pay twice the rate of one with S100.000 or why not pay more on your second million than on your first? You can't legitimately kick on income tax. For its on what you have You have already made it. But look at land, farms, homes, stores, vacant lots.

You pay year after year on them whether you make It or not. Every land, or property owner in America would be tickled to death to pay 45 per cent of his profits, if he didn't have to pay anything if he didn't make it. Yours. WILL.

NEAL I. N. S. Staff Correspondent. WASHINGTON, April governmental economy movement was under fire in both branches of congress today.

With the House riotously whit- tling down the savings proposed in the $200,000,000 economy program, the Senate was the scene of a last- ditch fight to reverse its policy of cutting House appropriation bills ten per cent.

The net result, of two night and day sessions of the House was to ef- feet savings of $25,700,000 chiefly at i the expense of government workers. A total of had been stricken from the original $200,000,000 bill. The Senate was slated to vote on i application of the ten per cent cut to the commerce, labor, and Justice departments supply bill.

More than flO.OOO government work; ers. It Is estimated, will lose their i posts if the Senate continues its policy. While Senator Johnson (R of I California was attacking the Sen- i Hte's policy "a fetish of economy, i rhyme or reason," Rep. Grosser i i of Ohio, quoted econ: omlsts In telling the House that, the economy movement "Is the product! of brains of fools." Senator McKnllar of Ten- (lessee, a of the Senate ten per cent plan, said he would produce a letter showing that Secre- i tnry of Commerce Larnont urged a business acquaintance to protest, against any reduction In the com, merce department, bill. Senator Jones i of Washington hinted that cabinet officers may be violat- ing the law In attempting to Influence legislation.
