TAX MEASURES
Smoot and Mellon Proposals
Considered by Senate
Committee.

WASHINGTON, Sept 6-Compromise
between Secretary Melons and Senator
Smoot's tax proposals may be adopted
by the Senate Finance Committee in
writing a new revenue revision bill as a
substitute for the House measure, Sen
ators indicated today.
Smoot's sales tax proposition is re
ported to have impressed Mellon favor
ably, although he suggested 1t be held
back until next year, when the Admin
istration proposes to finance a service
mans pension system in lieu of the So
called soldier bonus"
Advocates OF the sales tax contend 1t
would eliminate the excess profits tax, all
Of the surtaxes and special excise laws
and make substantial reductions in the
normal income taxes while providing the
Government at the same time with ample
revenue
Whether these claims are exaggerated
or not, Smoot's Republican colleagues on
the Senate Finance Committee who have
heretofore opposed it, now state the
sales tax idea Will be considered by the
committee before it lays down a tax plan
or policy.
