Representative Says a Conspiracy
Exists to Pass Measure with
out Proper Study.
Washington, Dec. 30. Charges
that there is an organized conspir
acy to. coerce senators and represen
tatives to support the Mellon tax
bill before they have an opportunity
to study its provisions were made to
day in a statement by Representa
tive Garner, Texas, ranking demo
crat on the ways and means com
mittee. The statement issued by the
democratic national committee, said
Mr. Garner, spoke for the minority
members of the committee, which
has been considering the measure for
several weeks.
"Evidence is daily coming to
light." said Mr. Garner, "that the
nation-wide propaganda to commit
the people and their representatives
in congress to the Mellon tax bill
before all of its provisions were
made known, is the result of a huge
organized conspiracy on the part of
the predatory interests constituting
special privilege.
"Evidence of Conspiracy"
"Plain and convincing evidence of
this conspiracy is found in the word
ing of telegrams and letters being
received by senators and representa
tives in congress which are in iden
tical language, showing that they
emanate from one source although
thoroughly demonstn.ted, and if pos-1 ni IT l! UjUCAT PDHO

gress can be depended upon to act
favorably upon every sound provis
ion of the Mellon plan, but they will
not be coerced into accepting its un
just and discriminatory provisions by
any cooked-up propaganda.
"Secretary Mellon is the highest
placed representative of the special
interests this country has ever known
and among all previous attempts to
intimidate and coerce congress there
has been none on such a huge scale
as the present conspiracy."

sermon of the evening was "The
Great Light" and was delivered by
the Rev. H. G. McClusky of the First

how God is Light, the Light of the
World, and in the course of his re
marks showed that the. evil of the
human heart was the darkness. This
darkness is scattered and Light brot
thru the Bible, the revealed Word of
God. He also shpwed that the pub
