RICH SENATORS TO URGE HIGHER INCOME TAXES Increase in Upper Brackets Would Hit Millionaire Sponsors Hardest. BY LYLE C. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.—Some of the wealthiest men in congress are preparing to sponsor higher taxes on their own incomes and those of their friends. The move for increased income taxes also appears to have obtained support of Secretary of Treasury Mellon, commonly rated third richest man in the world. This unusual situation has been brought about by unprecedented federal deficits. The treasury was short almost $1,000,000,000 in the fiscal year ended June 30. The prospect is for a $2,000,000,000 deficit in this fiscal year. Five senators whose aggregate fortunes would not fall much short of $100,000,000 already have said they believed increased income taxes will be necessary. The wealthiest of these is Senator James R. Couzens (Rep., Mich.) who made a fortune in the Ford Motor Company, but broke with Henry Ford largely over labor policies. Couzens is estimated to be worth in the aeighborhood of $60,000,000. Senator Arthur Capper (Rep., Kan.) is another rich man w r ho would tax the big incomes further. Capper is a publisher who used to be a linotype operator. His newspaper and periodicals are published throughout the mid-w r est. “In the face of the mounting deficit,” Capper told the United

Press, “an increase in taxes by the coming session of congress has appeared inevitable for some time. “My own judgement is that we should increase the income tax rates on incomes in the higher brackets. I also favor and will support an increase in the estate tax and the levying of adequate taxes on gifti made for the purpose of evading the estate or inheritance tax.” Senators David H. Reed (Rep., Pa.) and Reed Smoot (Rep., Utah) are very wealthy men. Both believe higher bracket income taxes should be increased, but with the provision that there should be no “confiscation” of wealth. Reed asserted it is possible to tax income to the point of diminishing returns by levying excessive rates. Senator Walcott (Rep., Conn.)
