“'ith the subject of taxes fresh in
the minds of the people from the

kenney Affair in
Mellon- Bat.
tie—Who’ll Win
By ROBERT T. m
Special Correspondent of
The Evening Sentinel
(Copyright 1925).
WASHINGTON. March 18.
When the multimillionaires. twoti-
tans of the money world. fall out.
has the man in the street got a
chance? It is generally agreed here
in Washington that he has not.
Neverthele- the spectacle of the
Kilkenny affair between the two
money bags may cause some mer-
riment to the down—trodden general
public. provided it does not cause
real alarm and s. disposition on the
part of the salary worker to throw
up his hands and mutter: “What is
the use?"
When the average man who suf-
fers excruciating agony and no little
hardship as he hands out his sever-
al hundred dollars a year to the
government in income t hears it
blasoned forth from .31.. Senate
rostrum that a corporation was re-
lieved of something like 87.000.000
in taxes because it felt itself too
poor to pay. and when it is further
stated that the Treasury is under
the impression that a Senator has
underpaid his taxes by something
like 811,000,000; when he hears all
that. it must be admitted that it is
rather disconcerting.
But to understand the tremendous
mosey row which promises to on-
gross Washington long after the
Warren controversy has run its
course one must also understand the
personalities involved.
"Jim" Cousens. Republican Sen-
ator from Michigan. is the richest
man in the Senate today. and one
of the richest of all time. Possibly
the late Senator W. A. Clark. cop-
per king of Montana. had a dollar
or two more. but not much.
Andrew W. Mellonu RepubUcan
Secretary of the Treasury is unques-
tionably the richest man who ever
held a government office. Some
persons have estimated his wealth
as high as $600,000,000 to 3800.-
000.000. In any event, after all the
deductions a rich man is entitled to.
Mr. Mellon paid last year an income
tax of well over a million dollars.
His salary from the government was
812.000. which scarcely could be
rated as chicken feed in the Mellon
manage.
These are the two men of millions
who are looked today in what their
friends say is a life and death strug-
gle. Jim Couzens. a man with a
fighting face, who has come from
poverty to Aladdin-like amuence in
the space of a generation. has sworn
to drive Andrew Mellon. second or
third richest man in the United
States. out of public office. Mellon
has vowed to drive Couzens from
the Senate.

claimed Senator Carter Glass. of
Virginia. in viewing the bottle from
afar. "They will so to en? “mm"

his friends as a fighter. He has the

ing the supervision of business by
certain Departments or Bureaus of
the government. Jim Me Just been
elected {or another six years’ term
in the Stunts. Bis colleagues and
his enemies know .it will not be an
idie‘term.
Thy story of Jim Consens is the
romance of the fiivver. He put 81.-
too in the Ford Hotor Comps-n!-
He had to borrow 8100 of this from
an aunt. When he sold out. his
holdings ind". he paid the aunt
8100 back—and about 8600.000 in
interest and on the same.
Altogether Jim’s 81.000 of 1908 was
translated sixteen years later into
"3.000.000 — ash. Investments
made along the way to fortune—
tnvestments in banks and real es-
tate and various industrial enter-
prises —- probably have brought the
Couscns wealth up to 860.000.0130.
Personsz he has no idea what
the figure is. He has a confidential
secretary out in Michigan who looks
after all the finances of the Cousens
family. All that Senator Jim wants
to know is that there will-be mon-
ey in the bank to meet any of the
modest checks he draws from Wash-
ington.
The Couscns fortune is invested
almost wholly in state and city
bonds. He once sold bonds when
he was mayor. of Detroit. Now he
buy. them. State and city bonds
are taxoexempt. This seems to have
riled Mr. Secretary Mellon. And
thereby hangs about nine tenths of
thetalethsthssbecomesohoated
as to induce Senators to call names
and almost hurl tilt bottles.

which would allow National Guard
group insurance. He said that ap-
proximately 4.800 men would be af-
fected at an urinal cost to the state
of 826.000. The form would be life
policies payable at death from any
cause. and would be similar to
group insurance tuned for factories
and other institutions.
