WASHINGTON, Aug 1.-THE Ameri-
can people will have their first cut in
taxes SINCE the European war when they
make out their income tax returns next
March. President Harding and Score
|tary Mellon, as web as Republican Lead
ers in congress. mindful of the overwhelm-
ing opinion which demands that govern
ment expenses be cut and taxes reduced,
have outlined a program which represents
a net reduction of S80O.0D0000 in the
amounts that must be raised by direct
taxation.
Mr.. Harding and the secretary OF the
treasury stood in the Presidents room OF
the executive offices and outlined to the
correspondents the nature of the changes
in the tax program. Chairman Joseph
Fordney of the ways and means commit
tee and Republican Leader Frank Mon
dell also stood by ready to answer queS,
tions and explain the figures. The picture
was one of absolute informaiity, the
President having asked his colleagues 10
Stay in the room with him and submit 10
Interrogation so that the public mIghl
have no miSapprehenslons about the tax
program.
In order best to understand the changes
that have been made the following table
summarizes the data given out by the
President and the secretary OF the treas
ury. .s '# ~
Changes i'm Detail.
Amount estimated two weeks ago by
Secretary Mellon as necessary To run the
government S4.554 100000.
Amount now officially estimated as
budget, S4034 900, 900.
Net reduction in estimates 100000 600.
The President simply insisted that the
various government departments cut THEN
requests for money still further than they
have. Furthermore, certain sums winch
were falling due this year and which
were expected to be paid out of new reve-
nues will be deferred. SO the analysis of
is as follows --
Amount by which government depart
ment will reduce their appropriations
$3.50 600. 900.
Amount of floating debt to be deferred
$40. 900. 600.
Totals $500. 100000.
