WILSON AND M'ADOO
CONFER ON REVENUE
DISCUSS EXPEDlENCY OF TAX
LAW AT PRESENT SESSION.
SECRETARY FAVORS 1T,

Washington. = Whether revenue
legislation shall be undertaken at
this session of Congress depends IN
President Wilson's decision after a
conference with congressional leaders
who are strongly in favor of postpon-
ing the legislation until December
The president went over the argu-
ments presented by Secretary Nc
Adoo Cor enactment of new tax law
before adjournment and he will see
Mr.. McAdoo again before finally de-
termining whether the administra-
ton shall declare the legislation nee
essary to preservation of the nation 5
finances in healthy condition for the
war.
All the advice which Secretary Nc
Ad6ot got from his advisers having di-
rect charge of administering the reve-
nue. law and of planning to meet fu-
ture financial needs of the govern
ment was to the effect that a new
measure must be enacted by next fall.
He was told that by December or jan
uary the government will need more
revenue from taxation, or definite as
surance that it will be forthcoming,
and that it will be next to impossible
to collect taxes under a law which
might not be completed before Feb
ruary or March.
Regardless of government needs,
Secretary McAdoo is represented as
believing that business interests of
the nation should know long before
February or March the nature and
amount of taxes to be assessed on
them for this years business.
Members of the Senate and House,
however, still are hostile to the pro-
posal to keep Congress in session
throughout the summer and to the en-
actment of tax legislation on the eve
Of elections. Leaders were unanimous
in stating that if Secretary McAdoo
and the president agree that legisla-
ton is absolutely necessary, they
will get to work immediately on a
bill and seek to press it through. This
assurance removed, the chances of
development of a break between the
president and Congress, which might
lead the administration to go before
the country with precise statements
Of the necessity.
Those who will participate in the
conference are Majority Lead9r Mar
tin of the Senate, Chairman Simmons
of the Senate finance committee,
Chairman Kitchin of the House WAYS
and means committee, Chairman
Sherley of the House appropriations
committee and Representative Garner
of tho House ways and means COM
mittee.
