DIVERSE TAX VIEWS
AIRED BY TRAINERS
Fordney Seeks HaIf-BiI|ion
Cut, But Other Committee
men See No Way.

Republicans of the House ways and
means committee swapped views on
tax revision yesterday. Many di-
vergent opinions were developed. but
no conclusions were reached.
Emphasizing that he was speaking
solely for himself, Chairman Fordney
said, after the conference. that the
goal toward which he would strive
would be a cut Of $500, 100000 in the
tax bill next year. His. opinion was
that by the exercise of rigid economy
the government could be operated for
00.000.000 in 1922. instead of the
1900, 100000 estimated by the Treas
ury.
Other members were less optimistic.
They thought that with the enormous
fixed expenses, including the interest
on the public debt. the costs of main
tanning the Army. Navy and the gov
ernment merchant fleet. 1t would be
impossible % get along with much
less than $4,000. 100000, and conse-
auently there could be little prospect
Of any marked reduction in the tax
burden.
May Cut Transport Charge.
Practically all members of the COM
mittee are in sympathy with the re-
peal Of the transportation taxes, both
passenger and freight. but they have
not yet fixed upon a new source of
revenue. to offset the loss Of $780,
100000 to the. Treasury that this
would involve.
Chairman Fordney's idea is that If
the repeal Of the whole is found i'm
practica BILE a start might be made by
cutting them in half next year and
eliminating the balance the year fol-
lowing. Representative Longworth,
