BATTLE OVER NEW TAX BILL

SHARP CLEAVAGE IN CONGRESS

REPUBLICANS UP-IN-ARMS·

Washington, Apr. 22. President P. D. Roosevelt's new Tax Hill, which was introduced into the House of Representatives yesterday, hus laed a bitter controversy, por- tending a harp congressional battle which will extend to the presidential campaign.

Lenders of the attack upon the mea- sure stood their ground in spite of the President's renewed warning that passage of the bill is necessary to balance the ordinary budget.

It is estimated that the proposed inxes will yield $792,000,000 (U.S. currency) during the first year of their operation. Some authorities ex- press the view that the revenue will be swelled by $800,000,000 to $860,- 100,000.

MINORITY REPORT

The Republican members of the Ways and Means Committee, which considered the Tax Bill, have present. ed a minority report, indicating the sur say be made a major campaign issue. They oppose the new inxes, they say, until the waste of public money is stopped.

They maintain the bill is unsound in principle and will undermine busi- news stability. It is not designed so much to raise revenue as it is to ex- periment along another New Deal

The Republicans warn against paa. Nage of such a measure in view of the fact that the public debt is rising at the rate of several billions of dollars
