Proposed Rates of Tax Reduction Under Discussion
Government Executive and Legislative Branches Puzzled Over Rebate
Washington, Nov. 16—There will be a tax reduction soon—but how much, when and where, are questions which have both the executive and legislative branches of the government puzzled.
A check of developments at the White House, treasury, house and senate, disclose more dissatisfaction and disagreement over the legislation than over any similar legislative proposal of recent years.
In the first place, the house ways and means committee which must initiate any action upon the administration proposal of a tax cut, is in session upon the relatively unimportant matter of alien property claims with no immediate intention of taking it under the jurisdiction of Green says he does not know when the committee will get around to the tax question.
Unwise to Press Tax Reduction Questions. Some members of the committee, say privately that leaders think it unwise to press the tax reduction condition with too two members arguing at what should be done.
Leaders are doing missionary work to win converts to some modified version of the treasury's proposal. When this plan develops sufficient strength, work will begin on a bill or resolutions, it is said. In the recent tax reduction, none of this backstage maneuver existed.
Administration Proposals Changed
Administration proposals have been
changed twice. First, President Coolidge
was announced to be in favor of a
10 to 12 per cent rebate on taxes
made this year. Next, Secretary of
The Treasury Malion declared that the
president's plans had offered a plan of
payments to be made, beginning Marl
6, at 12 1/2 per cent.
Late yesterday the secretary announced that the reduction could be increased to 15 per cent in view of new estimates that the treasury this year would reach $400,000,000 instead of $250,000,000 as estimated two weeks ago, and $250,000,000 as estimated last week.
