WILSON I'nited Pre** Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.—Willis C. Hawley, chairman of the ways and means committee under Republican organization of the house, is one of the few leaders of either party who believes taxes should not be increased. The prospective deficit this year is about $2,000,000,000, Hawley’s opposite number in the Democratic party is Representative James W. Collier, a Mississippi Democrat. Collier will be chairman of the ways and means committee if his party organizes the house. Ho believes the deficit should be met in part by taxation and in part by issuance of short term federal certificates. “Business can not recover if we increase taxes,” says Hawley. “Taxes must be levied against profits. If we take from business more of its profits on operation during the year 1931, there will be .so much less to put back into business next year and we again would have to increase the proportion of tax upon its diminishing profits. Instead of increasing taxes, let us issue bonds. That would not disturb business in the least. “I am against a sales tax. It would be unfair to orderly, well regulated business. Well regulated business would make complete reports and pay the full tax. Less orderly and well regulated business would make partial reports of sales. That would penalize the administration of orderly business.” Says Collier: ‘ The Republicans are saying that

every man should be made to pay a little tax to make him patriotic. If they are right about that, then the American people must be pretty damned patriotic by this time. “But the administration has gotten us into the position where we must have more revenue and the income tax is the best and proper source of federal revenue. “A sales tax is unfair. A rich man with a wife and child would pay. it is true, with every purchase. What about the unemployed man with a wife and several children? He would be less able to pay. But he would pay more than the rich man. The sales tax is not sound. “Perhaps a luxury tax might'be justified as an emergency measure. We could tax cigarcts further under that category. In the fhcome tax I would let the present exemptions stand. I would not change the rates at all until we reached the surtax incomes, which begin with SIO,OOO. “We ought to raise some money by short term treasury certificates.”

YEGGS BATTER SAFES, BUT GET MEAGER LOOT Cart Away Clothing From Store When Strongbox Withstands Blows. Battering the combination and hinges on a large safe in the offices of Remington-Rand Business Service, Inc., 933 North Meridian street, sometime during the week-end, yeggmen gained entrance to the vault, which contained only a small amount of money. The thieves gained entrance through a basement coal chute, police were informed. After breaking into a small safe

in a tailor shop at 12 West Twen-ty-seventh street, Sunday night, thieves carted away coats and dresses valued at SI,OOO, Mrs. Lois Holder, 23i7 South Meridian street, owner, reported. The yeggmen, apparently amateurs, failed to gain entrance to the strong box after opening the safe, Mrs. Holder said. Theft of cigarets valued at $25 from a restaurant at 1002 North Senate avenue, was reported by John Hanok, owner. Charles Alcorn, 1514 Kennington avenue, reported a thief entered his home Sunday by removing a screen from a rear window, and stole a shotgun valued at S4O and $2 in cash. Thieves who gained entrance to a church at Eleventh and Oxford streets, rifled drawers in the office, but took nothing, William Stearns, 1211 North Oakland avenue, informed police. A pickpocket lifted a purse containing S3OO from the arm of Mrs. A. W. Gott of Tipton as she shopped in a downtown store Saturday afternoon.
