NO. 105, FEDERAL TAX LAWS MUST BE REVISED, DECLARES PENROSE But Nothing Can Bo Dono at Pro3ont Excopt Pay tho Bills, Senator Asserts SEES roPEF.OR CHANGE IN REPUBLICAN VICTORY . Declares League of Nations Is "Bubble That Has Burst." Raps Administration n GEORGE NftX McGAIN .Senator "Penrose, still bearing the sun tan of Florida on his face, nnd with mental faculties keenly nlert. discussed this morning In the library of his borne en Sprnco street certain features of the federal tassltuatlon that nre pressing for solution. Tho dlscu&sion of federal taxation by the United Stated Chamber of Com merce, in session In Atfahtlc tilty, greatly interested tlio senator, who is chairman of the Senato committee on finance. So much so that ho .declined to discus! local politics, except to say that It seemed that every tlmo Mayor Moore fired a shot; ho scored a bull's .eye. "Every one concedes that tax revi sion 1 of paramount. Importance," said Senator Penrose. "The present reve nue bill hns settled the quebtion for both taxable years", Including 1020. Thve stems p be nothing to do for the pres ent, at least, but pay tbo bills. - "There is not the slightest reason to suppose that a revision of tax laws conld be framed now that In nny logi cal way would modify existing legisla tion on the subject. On fiscal matters Democrat nnd Republican Ideas differ as widely ns the poles; and besides it must be borne In mind thnt only n inn Jorlty of two exists in tho Senate for legislative purposes. With the circum stances attending the Newberry vote, our majority la reduced to pne, though Senator Newberry Is technically enti tled to vote. " Gantlet of Peculiar Ideas "Any sane effort nC reyision of taxa tion now would be compelled to pass tho gantlet of (he peculiar Ideas of sev eral senators. One prominent senator has publicly declared thnt 'every dollnr ' . ... . .IaIi- nt.ni, 1.1 Kn ,intrl liv the revenues of tho taxpayers and by their capital If necessary.' " "Even If an adequate tax revision bill were passed it would ultimately be saadled by the President. The Presi dent has been invalided nnd Inaccessi ble. While that situation has permit ted long and ncadcmle discussions on the peace trenty nnd lntcrriutionnl nf ftiirb. it has uot been conducive, to the a'complishmrnt of such n complicated tli I iic uk peace "No man has been nblo to sec Mr. Wilson on that subject or any other wbject until recently. No Treasury expert have been assigned to advise or inform nny one ns to the needs of the hour. So far as tho Republicans arc concerned, no nfd nor comfort has been extruded to any of their efforts from cither the government or the other half of the Semite. "The House of Representatives has bttu left eolltary nnd alone with none of the usual aids and counseling from exptrts from any of tho departments. As a consequence a parnjysls has fallen on the entire situation, and I am im pressed with the fact that nothing in n practical way can be dono until after the next presidential election. Nothing Lost In Delay "In this delay nothing, however, has been loot. The taxes must be paid no difference how Iniquitous the law. Trade uouies may paBS resolutions uuu chi mbs may file protests in tho dally press, and I admit the Justice of nil .their pleas, but the fact remains that tho government Is In n chaotic condition, (o much.so that nothing can bo accom plished till we have governmental co ordinated action. "The outcome. In my opinion, isubat we will havo no results until nftor the next presidential election, which will decido'the control aud policy of the government for the present and perhnp3 tor a generation to come. "It is no oxaggeratlfan to say thut there Is widespread distrust and dis gust with Democratic administration ns represented by xbe present control. This resentment extends to every class, North snd South alike, including Democrats themselves. Wo have good reason, In the nbnonca of cbmplicatlons now un foreseen, to nssumo that tho Republi cans will be restored to power with un overwhelming majority In November. It will then be up to tho Republican party, with nil Its branches working harmoniously, to solvo the tax problem as well as other great problems which will press for attention. "A revision of tho tax law will then take place which will have practical CoottnuM on rune Foiir.
