THE BEE: OMAHA, SATUKUAY, AUGUST iy21. Green Opposes More Borrowing By Government Council Bluffs House Mem ber Believes Mellon Budget Of $4,600,000,000 High er Than Necesgary. Washington, Aug. 5. (Special Telegram.) Judge William R. Green of Council Bluffs, ranking member . of the ways and means committee, who, witli the speaker of the house, the republican floor leader, Mr. Mon dell. and other republican members of the house, was a guest at the! White House recently, during which the tax situation was gone over jretty thoroughly, said today that the ways and means committee was adhering closely to the program out lined at that time. While it was not then Known what amount would have to be provided. Secretary Mellon today in his pub lie statement said that nearly $4,600,- 000,000 would be needed to run the government in 1922. This amount could be rduced and the amount due the railroads, estimated at $325,000, 000, could well be spread over a period of two years, Judge Green bc ieves. Opposed to More Borrowing. Mr. Green said: "Some of the members of the ways and means committee want to raise only $3,500,000,000, saying they do not want to impose any new taxes. This would leave a deficit in the rev nues of the next two years of about M, 000,000,000, which would have to be raised by issuing certificates or bonds. I am opposed to further bor rowing in times of peace. Such a practice would inevitably depreciate the values of all Liberty bonds and increase the rate of interest which the government would have to pay in its funding operations. "Ai we are still recovering, large sums from salvaged war materials and from back taxes it is a favor ble time to raise revenue for the gov ernment as it will be raised in the iuture and I believe the amount nec essary can be realized by taxes which will not be excessively burdensome. "Among the new taxes, I propose one on gifts above $5,000. The in heritance tax might be raised, and in other ways we can make up the losses sustained by the repeal of nuisance taxes, which are so obnox ious. and the repeal of the transporta tion taxes, which I consider to be the most important. Against Auto Tax. "The repeal of the excess profits tax and the addition of 5 per cent to the corporation income tax in is tstead will cause considerable loss. If the tax is to be shifted I favor making it high enough to entirely make up the amount lost and I would prefer a tax on the undistributed profiti of corporations to increasing the tax on corporatioa incomes and repealing the $2,000 exemption which is now in force. "I do not favor a further tax on automobiles. Neither do I approve of the proposed tax on bank checks. "The revision of the tax . laws present great difficulties. Until the time of the war no such gigantic wmt were ever raised by taxation in any country. There has been some talk that the preparation of the hill would not consume much time, but it will be impossible to get the bill out inside of two or three weeks. "For the first time the ways and means committee, although it does not make appropriations, is deter mined to exercise a control over ex penditures. If we can do it in no other way, we will do it by refusing to raise the money. Former Soloist at - Church Asks Divorce WW t :v .3 tar f t .

Yellowstone Park Weather Here Is Joy to Forecaster "Far be it from me to boast or to injure the railroads," observed M. V.

ADVERTISEMENT OMAHA WOMAN HAD SUFFERED FOR NINE YEARS Mrs. Weigel Feels Young and Happy Since Her Health Has Been Restored. "I just can't begin to express my gratitude to Tanlac for the wonderful help it has been to me, said Mrs. W. A. Weigel, 4106 Binney St., Umaha, JNeb. "I had been in miserable health for nine years when I began taking lanlac and had finally gotten into an almost helpless condition. I ac tually dreaded to go to the table, as r.othing I ate agreed with me. At right I rolled and tossed from side to side for hours and I would get up in the morning feeling all worn out and miserable. I was almost in the depths of despair because in all these years I had been trying medi cines and treatments that failed to do me any good. "Tanlac has done more for me than I had hoped for any medicine to do. It has not only relieved me of all my troubles but it has made me feel buoyant and younsr and haoDv. The way I feel now is no more like the way I felt before I took Tanlac than a rainy day is like a sunshiny day. There is no doubt in my mind about Tanlac being the greatest of medicines."
