dati0n of 40 Per Cent
81 G. 0. P.'s DISSENT
Only Three Democratic Members
Against Rate Originally Proposed
by the Senate.

President Harding was rebuffed
yesterday by the House, which re-
fused to heed his suggestion for a
40 per cent. maximum surtaX, ana
instructed conferees on the revenue
bill to agree to so per cent. rate
as provided in the Senate bill.
The action was taken by vote
of 2O1 to 173, with one recorded
as present. Ninety-four Republicans
deserted the adminitration and the
party leaders of the House and voted
with the Democrats for the 80 per
cent. surtax rate. Only three Demo-
Gratis voted no.
President Harding, in letter to
Representative Fordney, approved
the 32 per cent. maximum contained
in the bill originally passed by the
House, but urged that compromise
of 40 per cent be agreed upon. Mr..
Fordney, who is chairman Of the
House Ways and Means Committee
and one of the conferees, favored
the 40 per cent. compromise and an
nounced to the House that the Re-
publican conferees o. the Senate, Sen
ators Penrose, of Pennsylvania; Nc
Cumber, of North Dakota; and
Smoot, of Utah, had expressed a
willingness to accept this rate. OF
the two other Republican House con-
ferees, Representative Longworth
