The action of the ways and means
committee in resolving to repeal all
Of the war taxes will result in the
early passage by the house of bill
for that purpose. And that bill will
have very little opposition indeed.
Almost all the Republicans and prac-
tically all the Democrats desire to see
the war taxes repealed On this sub
ject the members of each party in the
house are in agreement. The steady
increase of the government surplus
has shown that this reduction in the
revenues which will amount to about
S77, 900, 900 year can be safely made
and a considerable margin left. The
bill will be popular in all parts OF
the country and neither party can
claim credit for it. The house will
simply be yielding to the demands Of
the people.
It is certain that the senate will
pass the bill, although 1t may regard
this sweeping character as little un-
wise and retain some of the taxes
those that are least burdensome-as a
matter Of preoaution, but senate lead
ers have given the matter no thor
ough consideration and will not do so
until the house has acted.
