DEMOCRATS TO OAR TAXING OF ‘LITTLEFELLOVir Serve Notice on Mellon of How They Regard Impending Boosts. BY THOMAS L. STOKES Inlted Pres* staff Correspond*nt WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.—Democrats served notice today they would oppose any attempt to increase taxes on the “little fellow.” This was the way they met Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon's proJjosal for increased normal taxes, owering of exemptions to make shore people pay taxes and a “selective’ sales tax which, among other things, would levy on such “semi-luxuries” as automobiles and radios. Mellon wants to raise a billion dollars to balance the budget. The Mellon piograro, which also, Includes some 'jicreases in surtax rates on large incomes, has been indorsed by several senate administration leaders, though house Republican leaders, for the most part, have declined to commit themselves definitely thus far. The latter, however, generally are acquiescent in a tax rise as necessary to balance the budget. To Originate in House The tax bill must originate in the house, and within the next few days leaders there, both Democratic and Republican, are expected to develop the general outlines of their plans. The man who will be chairman of the hou. c e ways and means committee if Democrats organize, Representative James W. Collier, (Miss.), made it plain that he w'ould fight any program which increased taxes on the small taxpayer. He regards the “selective” sales tax as in this class, along with increased normal tax rates and broadening of the tax based by lowering exemptions. He said the larger incomes should bear the brunt of the increase. But he was careful, as are other Democratic leaders, to emphasize that they do not intend to put an undue burden upon •wealth, business or industry. Representative John N. Garner, (Dem., Tex.), prospective speaker, has refused to disclose his hand on a tax program. Drafted Like 1!)24 Act The Mellon program is drafted a.ang lines of the 1924 revenue act, Which if followed would provide normal rates of 2 per cent on the first $4,000 taxable income, 4 per cent on the next $4,000 and 6 per cent above that. Present normal rate are VA, 3 and 5, respectively. Exemptions of the 1924 law were SI,OOO for single persons and $2,500 for married persons. Present exemptions are $1,500 and $3,500. The White House denied that President Hoover had any specified “tax program,” but any one who has spent any time in the treasury these days knows with what industry and diligence Mellon and his experts have been formulating their views for presentation to congress when *■ called upon. Definte expression of the adminstration's attitude may be expected early next week, it was intimated at the White House. SUITS DEMAND $5,909 OF WARREN TOWNSHIP No Provision in Budget for Debts, Incumbent Trustee Explains. Judgment totaling $5,709.67 is sought in three suits brought in circuit court against Warren township and its trustee, Charles M. Walker, by George M. Rickes, contractor, the Indianapolis school board and the Oliver Machinery Company. Rickes demands judgment of $5,000 for repairs on six school buildings in 1930. The school city seeks $418.76 in judgment for transfering three township pupils to city high schools in 1928-29, and the Oliver company asks $291 for a lathe purchased by the township in 1930. Walker explained the debts were contracted by his predecessor and no provision for meeting them was made in the budget. 'OLD SALT.’ 72, SHIPS Chuckles at Navy Doctors’ Failure to Find Flaws in His Health. • P v Vnited Press SAN DIEGO, Cal., Nov. 20.—The oldest man in the United States navy, Chief Boatswains Mate Isaac O. Castle, 72, briskly performed his tasks today and chuckled as he worked. Boatswain’s Mate Castle was chuckling because the navy’s doctors, after all these years, could find nothing wrong with him. Asa result, he won his fight to “ship over” in the navy for another four-year hitch. Castle joined the navy fifty-eight years ago when warships were square riggers and carried muzzle loading cannon. His superior officers admit he is one of the most efficient men on the big ships today. Castle, himself, says he has enjoyed his past, but is looking toward his future.
