MELLON TARIFF PLAN TO CONGRESS-
Repeal Excess Profits Levy, He Advises-Secretary of Treas ury Does Not Recommend a Sales Tax.

Washington, May -Four specific proposals for revision of the federal taxes are made in Congress to Sec retary Mellon, with a recommends tion for early action so the new taxes can be applied for this calendar year. They are:
 Repeal of excess profits tax and the existing $2,000 income exemption of corporations; the loss of revenue to be made good by a modified tax on corporate profits or a fiat additional income tax on corporations, to yield an aggregate of between s400,000, ,000 and $500,000,000.
 Readjustment of income taxes so that no income will pay more than 40 per cent this year and 35 per cent thereafter, with a view to producing aggregate revenues substantially equivalent to the estimated receipts from the income tax under the exist ing law.
 Repeal of the so-called luxury tax es together with the "nuisance" taxes, such as those on soda fountain drinks, but retention of the transportation and miscellaneous specifs sales taxes.
 i Imposition of sufficient new and additional taxes of "wide application" such as increased stamp taxes or H- cense taxes on the use of automobiles, to bring the total revenues from in ternal taxes after making the changes above suggested to about s4,000, 0,000,- 900 in the fiscal years of 1922 to 1923.
 The treasury secretary's sugges- tions are contained in a letter to Chairman Fordney of the House ways and means committee, which was made public today at the Treasury Department. A copy of it also was transmitted to Chairman Penrose of 1 the Senate finance committee.
 MT. Mellon suggests adoption of administrative amendments to the revenue laws simplifying collections and final settlements and permitting under safeguards, the carrying over of net losses by taxpayers for one year as deduction from incomes of succeeding years.
 "The treasury is not prepared" Mir Mellon says, "to recommend at this time any general sales tax and par ticularly if the general sales tax is to supersede the highly productive specific sales tax now in effect on many relatively non-essential ar ticles."
