age in three months of $3.50, 100000
in estimated government incomes for
this fiscal year based on the present
revenue law is disclosed by the state
ment recently presented to the
House ways and means committees
by Secretary Mellon. The total in
come is estimated at S4,217, ,643,00O
as against estimates of S4, 900
contained in Mr.. Melons letter OF
last April 80 to Chairman Fordney.
In the same time the estimated
expenditures decreased only SILL
S64,216 The estimated excess OF
disbursement over receipts is placed
at S33O,339,517 as compared with
SIS, ac4 ,033 made by the treasury
last April.
OF tho total shrinkage in receipts
3O,O0O,00O is charged to expected
falling off in internal revenue as
result of business depression. the
remaining $200,000,000 is accounted
for by revision of estimated amounts
to be received in interest in foreign
obligations.
In Mr. Melons letter of April 80
this interest fund was placed at
$225,O26,O00 and was based on as
sumption that several Scountr1es
would make substantial payments,
The estimate now is $25,G26, ,00e,
most of which it is said is expected
| to come from France.
The perplexity of Republican

square with expenditures during

The excess profits tax, which was
regarded as certain of repeal, has
developed unexpected vitality, fol-
lowing the discovery by many small
business men that the repeal of this
tax means an increase of the federal
taxes through substitution of g flat
tax on income.
The proposal which had found
most favor with the ways and means
com mittee IS to replace the excess
profits levy with fifteen per cent.
tax on corporate income and to
eliminate the present exemption OF
$4,000 of income from the normal
tax.
