People Demand InstantEconomy, Lower Taxes,

Says Member from La.

Congressman Lazaro Delivers anAddress Setting Forth FewFacts as They Exist Today

Congressman Lazaro of the seventh

Louisiana district, delivered the fol-lowing speech in the national houseof representatives last Saturdayweek:

Mr. Speaker, we are now goingthrough a period of readjustment.We are trying to solve our problemswith the view of getting back to nor-mal conditions as soon as possible.In the consideration of proposed lawsto solve these 'problems we must re-

member that we are facing economiclaws instead of theories, and ve mustmeet the new cnoditions which arisein a prctical way.

One of the most vital problems con-fronting the American people to dayis taxation. In the cdnsideration ofthis important matter vde must view!it as an economic and not a partisanquestion. That the American peoplewant their taxes reduced there canbe no doubt. The platforms of bothparties, the democratic party and therepublican party, are very plain on

the question of taxation. The demo-cratic platform says:

The continuance in force in peacetime of taxes devised under pressureof imperative necessity to producerevenue for war purposes is inadvisa-ble and can only result in lasting injury to the people. We advocate taxreforme and a searching revision ofthe war revenue acts to fit peace con-ditions, so that the wealth of the na-tion may not be withdrawn from pro-ductive enterprise and diverted towasteful or nan-productive expendl-ture. We demand prompt action by

congress for a complete survey of

existing taxes and their modificationand simplification with a view of se-curing greater equity and justice intax burden and improvement in ad-ministration.

The republican platform says:Sound policy demands a real reduc-

tion .of the tax burden which maybe achieved by substituting simple forcon*lex tax laws.

But QUALITY! Listen! That's CAM

ajrel

Mr. 1larding and Mr. Cox, advocated

a reduction of the `,federal taxes.

There are, some who seem to be un-

der the impression that the taxes cannot be reduced at this time. I am ofthe opinion that we should pass thebill reducing our iedecal taxes rightnow. This, of course, will mean aredliotion of our revenues to pay ourdebts and run the government, butmy judgment is that the best way tostart the practice of economy is toreduce the revenues and then "makethe suit fit the cloth." In otherwords, remove the temptation for use-less appropriations, and see to it thatthe money apropriated is spent care-fully and for the purpose for whichit was appropriated.

I have great faith in the budget sys-tem which we have adopted, and I be-lieve that with the assistance of thedirector of the budget and the heartyco-operation of congress, with one wecan carry on the affairs of govern-ment with the money raised in thisbill. If there is co-peration, businessand efficiency, it will not be necess-ary to come back with deficiencieslater.

I believe the war debt should becared for in an orderly funding andgradual payment; I believe, too, thatthe government should get out of allbusiness which, can be carried on bet-ter by private enterprise than by thegovernment as soon as possible. Ibeieve also that we should abolishthose revolvving funds as soon aspossible. Revolving funds are justif!-able only to meet emergencies, but intime of peace there is no reason fora continuance of such practices; onthe contrary, there are strong reasonsfor stopping them. They are unnec-cessary and lead to extravagance.The people of the United States aresuffering terribly as a result of theparalysis in agriculture and businessand they demand that theit taxes bereduced and that rigid economy bepracticed. There are provisions inthis bill which I do not like, and Ishall vote for the motion to recommitthe bill to the committee on waysand means with the hope that it willbe presented to us in a better formon final passage. Of course, I real-ize that legislation is a matter ofcompromise, especially in a body likethis, where there are 485' members.
