right, l92D.--Tho American people
will have their first cut in taxes
since the European war when they
make out their income tax returns
rext March President Harding and
Secretary Mellon. as we'll as Repub-
lican leaders in Congress, mindful of
OF the overwhelming opinion which
demands that Government expenses
be cut and taxes reduced, have out
lined a programme which represents
q net reduction of 100000. 900 in the
amounts that must be raised by di-
rect taxation.
Mr.. Harding and the Secretary OF
the Treasury stood in the Presidents s
room Of the executive Offices and
outlined to the correspondents the
nature of the changes in the tax
programme. Chairman Joseph Ford
ney of the Ways and Means Com
mittee and Republican Leader Frank
Mondell also stood by ready to
answer questions and explain the
figures. The picture was one of alb
solute informallty, the President
having asked his colleagues to stay
In the room with him and submit to
Interrogation so that the public might
have no misapprehensions about the
tax programme.
In order best to understand the
changes that have Been made the fol.
lowing table summarizes the data
given out by the President and the
Secretary of the Treasury.
Amount estimated two weeks
ago by Secretary Mellon as neces.
sary to run the Government,
1885,, 900, 900.
Amount now officially esti-
mated as budget, S4,O34, 900. 900.
Net reduction in estimates
352o.ooo,o0o.
How was that s52O,ooo,oOo cut in
estimates accomplished? The Presi-
dent simply insisted that the vari-
GUS Government departments cut
their requests for money still fur
ther than they have. Furthermore,
certain sums which were falling due
this year and which were expected
to be paid out of new revenues will
be deferred. So the analysis of the
3520,Oo0,000 reduction in estimates is
as follows:
Amount by which Government
departments will reduce their ap-
preparations $3.50, 100000.
Amount of floating debt to be
deferred, $40, 900.
Total, $500 900, 900.
