BILLIONS COAL
Of REPUBLICANS
Members Senate Committee
Hope to Cut 100 Millions
From Previous Estimate
PENROSE GIVES VIEWS
Says Actual Revision House
Measure Will be Started
By Senators Today

WASHINGTON. Sept 9. - A mini
mum total tax of $4,000, 900, 900 for
this fiscal year, is the aim of the Re.
publican members of the senate fin
ance committee revising the house
tax bill. Chairman Penrose said to-
day, after a conference of majority
committeeman.
This is approximately 100000, 900
less than treasury experts have fig
ured the house measure would w:ev..
but is the total which Secretary Mel
Ion maintains will be necessary to con
duct the government, provided econo-
mics are affected.
Neither the whole committee nor
the majority members today reached
any agreement on specific revisions
proposed yesterday by Secretary Mel
Ion. There was prolonged discussion
of some of them, with the Democratic
members launching their fight against
retroactive repeal of the excessive
profits tax. reduction of the income
surtaxes to 25 per cent. and restora-
tion of the transportation taxes at
half the present rates.
After the meeting of the majority
members, Senator Penrose said that
while the Republicans seemed to ia.
vor repeal of the profits tax as of last
January, the situation was such that
repeal, as OF next January l, as pro-
vided for in the house measure, might
result
During the day. Senator Hitchcock
of Nebraska, acting Democratic lead
er. attacked the proposals to repeal
the profits tax and cut the surtax
rates.
Actual revision of the house bill
will be undertaken tomorrow py the
whole committee, Chairman Penro..
said.
Official treasury figures prepared
for the committee show that with the
six changes recommended yesterday
by Secretary Mellon. the house bill
would yield $3,29S,455. 900 this fiscal
year, or $16,O00,0OO less than the
house measure in its present form.
and $2,7S5,79O,00O for the calendar
year 1922. or s95,5OO,OOO less than the
house bill.
