Move to Substitute Sales
Tax for Income Meas
ure Probable
BY FREDERIC J. HASKIN
WASHINGTON, Nov. B.—Nothing
has happened in this country in the
last half century that has created
such a nation-wide furore and prom
ised such far-reaching effects as the
publication of income tax'returns.
This is something that affects every
community in the United States, and
; the smaller the community the more
avid the interest that is being taken
in the revelations accompanying the
hard cold facts as to the incomes on
which every Tom, Dick and Harry
pays taxes.
In every city, town, viiiage and
rural district there has always been
the keenest curiosity as to how rich
the reputedly rich of the community
really are. Indeed, it is a rare in
dividual who has not at times wish
ed that he might know exactly how
much his neighbors make in a year,
k "Wives have wanted, to get the low
* down on their husbands’ incomes,
- and how the Blanks do so much
when they have so little, or why they
do so little when they must have so
much, have long been moot ques
tions, widely and frequently debated.
Mrs. Jones has yearned to know
why she must be content with a fliv
l ver while Mrs. Smith has a de luxe
* limousine and a chauffeur; and here
tofore Mr. Jones has been unable to

Smith has never been satisfied that

their bills promptly, and have grown

Movie fans have wondered and
wondered whether the stories they
hear about the fabulous salaries of
their favorite stars are true or mere
ly fairy tales concocted by imagina
tive press agents, and movie stars
have been consumed with curiosity
as to the exact incomes of their
.rivals.

sacred precincts of the exclusive

FAMOUS DEFENSE ATTORNEY
SAYS SOCIETY HAS NO RIGHT
TO CONDEMN A MAN TO DEATH
Harsh and Cruel Punish
ments Destroy Highest
Emotions of Man, Declares
Clarence S. Darrow
BY ROY -I. GIBBONS
CHICAGO, Nov. 8. —Society has
no right to condemn a man to death.
For the preservation of the race,
if for nothing else, the state should
not deliberately destroy life.
So declares Clarence S. Darrow,
internationally famous criminal at
torney, whose master pleading has
aided more than 100 murderers to
cheat death at the hangman’s hands
In an ■ interview, Darrow forth”
first time reveals- the workings of
his mind in explaining why he has
come to the rescue of so many crim
inals marked for the gallows.
Answering the question: “Are
criminals worth saving?” Darrow
“It is first necessary to find out
what is meant by the word 'crim
inal.' Whether it means some per
son who has some anti-social in
stinct, or one who has been con
victed of a crime.
“Everyone has both social and
anti-social instincts, and it is on)
a question of degree as to the ex
tremes each way.
“As for conviction of a crim -,
there are all sorts of crimes. Con
victions run from a dollar fine ' >
death. Many are convicted who are
not guilty, so it would be impossible
to answer the question from this
standpoint.
“But, if the question should be —
Are there not criminals who .are not
worth saving?—then the question,
should be asked: Worth saving to
whom?
“There are an. infinite number of
people who have high standing who
are not. worth saving, so far as th',
community is concerned. in fa.-?'.
many who are called good people,
are very injurious to the communitx.
“Perhaps there are very few pe;>
pie whose death would make any
difference to the community, and !n
that sense, they would not be worth
saving. But, the only admissible
question is: ’Are they worth saving
to themselves?’
‘‘We live because we want to live,
regardless of whether We are doing
any good to others or not, and ii.
would be. very hard to pass and exe
cute a, law that only those who do
good to others should live.
“Many men, probably most men,
prefer to live inside a prison than
to die. And their wishes should t>e
consulted and that of their friends.
“It would be dangerous to consult
only the wishes of the community*
In that case no one's life would be
safe.
“Quite apart from all this, nature
in the development: of the individual,
has created imagination which gives
him a. certain, amount of sympathy
and pity. To destroy Jiisy by but
tality of any sort, would mean the
destruction of the best, part of man.
And harsh and cruel ’ punishments
always have a tendency to destroy
tlie highest emotions of man.
“Many on trial for a. capital of
fense -say they prefer to die rather
than live out their lives in prison.
Perhaps they feel so at the time.
.But if life prisoners were given free
access to guns, razors and poison
and had good health, most of them
\ ould die old age.
“Every organism, whether It is;
human, animal, religious, social or
political, has the will to live. With
living goes the wish to live. Other
wise life would not persist.”

that they are safe to be at large

Hairdressers’ union celebrated its
two hundredth anniversary recently
by uniformly dressing the shop win

hairdressing tads, including the lat
est. 1 reaks in bobbed hair, were
shown.
one of the bitterest and most spec
tacular fights of the approaching'
session of congress and of the new
congress that will succeed it.
Senator l>t Follette has announced
that he and his political associates
will demand an investigation of the
returns made public with an idea of
)>ro\ing that certain men of sup
posedly great wealth are tax dodg
ers. He wants to know how they do
it and why the treasury department
authorities permit them to get away
with it. The Wisconsin statesman
names names in making his charges,
but offers no evidence beyond the
mere fact that the men he is after
did not make income tax returns as
large as he thinks they should have
made.
The mere proposal to create an
other congressional investigating'
committee is expected to provoke a
memorable fight. Congress has done
little but investigate in recent yens,
with the result that two strong and
antagonistic currents of popular sen
timent have been set in motion. One
element of the public insists that it
is time to call a halt on the inquisa
toiial tendency of congress, terming
it mere pandering to the insatiable
appetite of sensation mongers. The
other element contends with even
greater vehemence that the investi
gations into the conduct of both
public affairs ami big' business should
go on until there has been a thor
ough national house cleaning-.
Obviously, the first eleflvnt will
oppose an inquiry into the incomp
tax situation, contending that it
would be an unjustifiable intrusion
into private affairs and that if there
has been tax dodging, treasury of
ficials will ferret it out in due time
and see that the offenders are prose
cuted and punished. Leaders of this
group are optimistic, saying- that a
tidal wave of indignation over the
making public of tax returns has
swept across the country and that
congress will not dare ignore this
sentiment.
However, it is quite clear that in
this contest the advantage lies with
the element that will demand an in
vestigation. In the first place, the
procedure and precedents of both
houses of congress are s ich that it
is always easier to pass than to de
feat a resolution calling for an of
ficial inquiry of any kind. Then,
again, opponents of such proposals
are always subject to attack on the
grounds that they must have some
thing to conceal, otherwise they
would not be afraid of an investiga
: lion.
This argument is a powerful weap
on in the hands of the radical group,
las an illustration of how it is used
will show. The char.ee is made that
an inquiry will disclose that a cer

you dare!”
The easier way out is for Senator
Blank not to oppose the resolution,
and if he is a politician he usually
follows that course.
Another angle to this situation is
found in the question as to the pre
ponderance of public sentiment.
Manifestly, the people who do not
pay income taxe§ are not excited
over the. publicity given the returns
come tax returns were made last
of those who do pay—that is. they
are not fighting road over it. i In

dividuals. Every man and woman
of them may be up in arms over the
publicity given their ] rivate affairs,
but they number less than one
seven, h of the voting population of
the United States. They may be
powerful financially and socially,
but they are in a decided minority
numerically and the politicians are
not likely to lose sight of that fact.
Most members of congress are poli
ticians.
Fight io Amend Tax Law
At the same time the war is rag
ing over ihe proposed investigation
there will be another tight to amend
the income tax law in such away
as either to repeal the publicity
provision or to hedge it about with
such restrictions that never again
will the newspapers of the country
publish long lists of the returns
made by persons of wealth or other
wise conspicuously in the public
There has been much discussion
as to t,he “intent” of congress in
enacting the publicity provision at
the last session. On the face of its
action, it would appear that con
gress intended 1o bring about ex
actly what has happened. However,
many members of the house and
senate insist that such was not the
intention, and it is reasonably cer
tain that treasury officials and the
general public—or at least the in
come tax paying’ public—had no
idea that wholesale publication of
tax returns would result.
It was understood in Washington
at the time that congress was mere
ly putting itself in the position
where it could, lawfully, call on the
secretary of the treasury to furnish
it Avith individual tax returns in
cases in which congress required
.such information in the public in
terest .
Hut. whatever congress’ intent
may have been, the result has been
rather mote than less of a muddle
that must be clalifted by the courts
of by congress itself.
Sales Tax Proposal
Out of this controversy, also, may
come a fight to repeal the income
tax law as a 1 Jicable to individuals
and substitute for it a sales tax.
The fundamental idea back of the
income tax was that the burden of
furnishing the government wit It rev
enue should fall upon those able to
bear it and in proi ortion to their
ability- to bear it. The idea back of;
the sales tax is that everybody who
spends a dollar shares the burden,
and shares it in proportion to his
expenditu res.
Opponents of a sales tax have
insisted that it would be paid by
the great mass of the people nho
can least afford it. Its proponents
contend that the income tax is ’''•ra
mified ami passed on to the ulti
mate consumer and is a far greater
burden than a sales tax would be.
while tax exemptions and evasions
let the rich escape their response
bilities to the government in far to.
many instances.
One thing is agreed—a sales 1c
would be easily computed and easily
collected. The individual would pay
it as he spent his salary, wages or
other income, and he would not find
himself at the end of the year with
his money all gone and an obliga
tion to the government which he
could not meet or coul.i meet only
with difficulty. There would be no
need for the elaborate organization
required to interpret and administer
the income rax law.
Also there would be no occasion
for all this hullaballoo over the
publicity concerning private in
comes.

BY THEODORE TILLER
Washington, d. c., Nov. s.—
Senator Robert M. La. Follette,
whose third party candidacy in the
end helped Coolidge and hurt John
W. Davis, although in the beginning
it was appraised, the other way, is
going to be chastised and discipline I
after congress meets. As leaders of
Hie Republican ‘Y)ld Guard” drift
back into Washington after the'
Coolidge landslide they are starting
a serious movement to punish Sen-1
ator La Follette and to deprive him
of all his choice committee assign
ments in the next congress.
In the same category for dis
ciplinary purposes the old guards
men ate including Senator Edwin F.
Ladd and Lynn J. Frazier, of North
Dakota, and Senator Smith Wild
man Brookhart, of lowa, in the
event Senator Brookhart survives
the contest of his election.
There is no disposition to unhorse
Senator La Follette and other “ir
regular” Republicans during the
short session of congress. However,
when the new congress convenes
and the senate shows a Republican
majority sufficient to overturn all
combinations and “blocs,” the pro
gram is to cast Senator La Fol
lette into outer darkness, to put him
at the foot of committees as an
independent, or Republican rene
gade, and to visit a like punishment
upon all so-called Republicans who
supported the La Follette-Wheeler
movement in the recent, campaign.
Norris Not on List
Senator George W. Norris, of Ne
braska, a progressive, is not on the
blacklist of the senate old guard.
Senator Norris, vvhile engaging in
controversy with the G. O. P. or
ganization in his own state during
the campaign, was fairly regular
and did not go over to the La Fol-.
lette-Wheeler ticket. He was over-:
whelmingly elected as a Republican |
in Nebraska and his failure openly
to indorse the La Follette cam
paign doubtless cost La Follette
thousands of votes in Nebraska.
As the Republican old guardsmen '
figure it. Senator La Follette is no!
more entitled to committee chairman-;
ships °r ranking places as a "Repub-1
lican” than the most partisan Demo
crat. Senator James Watson, of In
diana. was at the White House to-1
day and as he departed—although it
is not understood that he discussed!
this particular matter with the pres
ident—Senator Watson threw a
brickbat or two at La Follette and
boldly proclaimed his desire to take;
all important committee assignments -
away from “Battling Bob.”
“La. Foleltte. is npt a Republican
and never has been,” said Senator
Jim. whose regularity is known from,
coast to coast. “There is no reason
he should have Republitjan commit-i
tee assignments. I would not remove;
him during the short session, but I.
think proper action will be taken ;
when we organize the next senate.” ;
“As a member of the senate steer-1
ing committee Senator Watson talks!
just as bluntly as does Senator Reed;
Smoot, another of the Republican!
old guard who blurted out that “Sen-!
ator La Follette will never cornel
back into the Republican party with |
my* consent.”
May Pose as “Martyr’’
In this same group of unforgiving
Republicans may be included Senatqrl
George H. Moses, of New Hamp-j
shire, chairman of the senatorial
campaign committee; Senator Charles
Curtis, of Kansas, and others of
Orthodox Republican faith. Two
years ago Senator Watson wanted
to banish Senator La Follette from
the Republican fold, but in the in-;
terest of party harmony-he desisted.;
It is apparent, however, that Sen-I
ator La Follette will get no such j
consideration in the next congress—;
if La Follette wants it.
Certain observers here think that I
La Follette will not raise much of a[
fuss over his committee places; that;
he may relish the role of a Repub
lican outcast, a “martyr” to his con
victions. At this time Senator La
Follette is chairman of the commit
tee on manufacturers, which recent
ly conducted the “gasoline price" in-
