FOR THREE-CENT POSTAGE

Washington. Aug. 2.-Appearing be-
ferc the Ways and Means Committee
Of the House yesterday in advocacy
ut prompt revision OF the war revenue
law. Secretary Mellon astonished the
committee by advocating new forms of
taxation, but by his statement. sub
ject 20 correction. that the expendi-
tures OF the Government in the next
fiscal year would reach $4,000. 600 900.
After this statement had been given
to the committee in executive session
and had been subjected to analysis. Mr..
Mellon promised to 40 more fully into
the estimates and supply corrected fig
urcs Il further study of conditions
seemed 60 Justify ii. He was told by
some members OF the committee that
Congress could not wisely provide for
the raising OF such an enormous
amount in the present measure. as
taxes must be reduced and the Govern
mont was compelled to keep eXpen-
dsturcs within the restricted yield.
Committee experts do not agree with
the estimates Of the Treasury and the
bin will be framed TO raise a lesser
amount than requested by Mr.. Mellon
with the purpose OF having supple

Mr. Mellon insisting that there must
b. new forms Of taxation so that tax
burdens now hindering business could
be repealed. urged a fiat tax of $40

power or the initial cost of the cars.
This suggestion was not well received
hy the committee as when tax of
4 ~,
when the present law was framed.
there was such a protest from users
OF cars and manufacturers that ii was
quickly abandoned.
The Secretary defended the tax on
the ground that the Federal Govern
ment was now engaged in road build
ing and was entitled 10 impose such
a tax upon those who benefited di-
rectly from good roads which were be-
ing extensively constructed on the
Federal aid plan under which the gen
eral government matched the ap-
Preparations made by the states
Another new tax proposed by the
Treasury was 4 return to Scent stamps
for first-class letters. During the war
much revenue was raised by increas-
Inc letter postage TO 8 cents. but the
additional price Of / cent remained in
effect only a year Republicans ap-
proved the repeal of the tax. and they

posed by Mr.. Mellon.
He said it was essential that the
excess profits taxes should be repealed
and that the income surtaxes should
be reduced from 77 to 40 per cent and
he thought 1t advisable to reduce the
transportation taxes by half. Another
repeal urged by him was the elimina-
ton of the taxes on soft drinks and
ice cream.
In order to make up for the losses
from the excess profits taxes MIR. Mel
Ion urged that there should be fiat
tax of Is per cent on the net incomes
OF corporations and the present exemp-
ton of $4,000 lifted.
If the repeals suggested and gener-
ally favored by Republicans are made,
in accordance with platform pledges,
Mr.. Mellon said that there should be
the necessity of finding addition :
sources OF taxation. The committee.
while not entirely agreeing with him, is
OF the opinion that the Treasury experts
gave been too liberal in their estimates
and that after the tariff has been in
operation six months the returns from
customs will exceed the present esti-
mates. IL it also hoped that there will
be radical savings in the conduct -

tive departments as to make unneces-
