He outlined his views in a letter to Chairman Haugen, and to Representatives Dickinson and Anthony, stressing concerns over the equalization fee and deeming the legislation unworkable. The article notes political criticism of President Coolidge and mentions campaign-finance details linking Mellon and John S. Fisher supporters to the Pepper-Fisher ticket and Governor candidacy.
