HARDING INSISTS
'2lPROFITTAXCO
In Accordance With Platform of
Republican Party President
Orders Repeal of Tax

President Harding still insists that
the excess profits tax be repealed as
Of Jan. /, 1921, having informed lead
ers Of the senate that the republican
party promised relief from this tax
and that the refusal of congress to
eliminate it would be equal to repudi-
alton of a settled pledge.
Acting upon the wishes of the presd'
dent, the finance committee will re-
port a revenue bill to the senate ON
the day it convenes, repeating this tax
effective January last. There is much
uncertainty as to what course will be,
followed as to reduction of the high
surtaxes to % per cent, effective the
same date. The predominant opinion
is that the bill will seek compromise
on this reduction and provide for
reduction beginning next January.
