Borah Supports
Roosevelt's Tax
Revision Plans
WASHINGTON, June 23 - (A') -
Senator Borah hailed President
Roosevelt's new tax plan today as a
"share the burden of government"
program and gave his powerful sup-
port to the "timely" tax adjustment
"in the light of our stupendous ex-
penditures."
The Idaho Republican issued his
formal statement as a part of today's
determinatin of liberal Republicans
and some Democrats to force Presi-
dent Roosevelt into the open on
whether he wants the new levy im-
posed at this session of Congress.
Borah said:
"This program ought to be consid-
ered as a just and timely readjust-
ment of our tax laws in the light of
our stupendous expenditures."
Borah's statement said it was "ab-
surd" to call the proposal either a
"share the wealth" or "soak the rich"
program: He called it "sound eco-
nomnically," and added it would be
"more conducive to recovery" than
"reckless voting of bonds" to pass on
