Mr. Mellon again attacked the continued Issue of tax exempt se curities as a menace, saying that surely it will mean In the end con tinued heavy tax burdens for the stntes and munlcipallt les.

The gift tax provision pf the present law was characterized by the Secretary as one of the fuMI ? attempts to check avoidance of the high tax rates and yet not penal ize legitimate transaction" He said there was "grave doubt" as to the right of Congress to impose a tax on gifts at all. and that the manner In which the provision was phrased had placed on the In ternal Revenue Bureau the duty of parsing judgment on countlcrs straight huHnc?i doais to deter mine whether there had been a "gift" Involved since the statute compelled the Interpretation of a payment by cash.

But tb? President ftjels that the mora of thin mini that he can turn back to* to the treasury at the end of Ui* fi. ral year tin- b.-tter for the gtf ernment and for the tax payers. It wan erroneously reported soma time ago that this travel sum wia a part of the President penooll compensation and any saving from it went to him. That never baa been the case. It is a public fund. Itallroad men said today white Mr. Coolidge's now mode of travel will nave the government some thine, th<> amount will not be so larjj" as would appear on the sur face. A private car would cost If Hlnul." railroad far?-H to Chicago. With sixteen or seventeen persona in the Prcaldentinl party, includ ing secret Hervice operatives, the saving in railroad fares to tha government amounts to about $200. Of course the secret service has a travel of itM own and the expi risen of the guards will not be charged against the White Hotiaa appropriation. Tho present trip of tho Presi dent In In sharp contrast to th? mode of presidential travel of two dccadea ago. Then the Congress provided nothing for the chief ex ecutive to go on. but ho travelled nevertheless In ro?al fashion. Tho ronaon for this was that the fall roads of the country furnished tho t ram porta t Ion and tho equipment fro?-.

Some of the presidential trip? under the old order rout the rail roads as high ?h $100,000. Wines, liquors and cigars were furnished with a froo hand. I'n aldi nf.H MrKlnh-y and Roose velt were the laM to travel under n system that today would have boen eulh-d partlrularly vicious. Mr. Roosevelt realized this after he had been In th?
