Increase in the fiat tax on corpora
tions from 10 per cent to 121a per
cent, instead Of 15 per cent, as con-
templated by the ways and means

cludes the refunding of approximate
Iy S10O,OOO,0O0 in War Savings
stamps and of $7O,OOO,OOO in treasury
certificates that fall due about the

The remainder of the reduction in
taxes will be made up by an increase
of $16O,0OO,OOO in salvage from sur
plus war supplies and materials and of
$1O0,O00,OOO in the collection of back
taxes.

sharp conflict that has existed be-
tween the house Republican leaders

Secretary Mellon told the ways and
means committee that $4,55O,00O 900
would be required for the ordinary ex-
penses of the government during the

Under the tax program as accepted
the total expenditures would be held tc
