OVER TAX BILL
Wide Split Between Senate
And House on Surtax
Rate
HARDING MAY
HAVE TO AID

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Nov. 10.
President Harding may be asked to
act again as mediator in the tax re-
vision fight.
This is the view of Democratic
leaders in the House. who point to
the wide split in the Republican
ranks in both the House and Senate
on the income surtax provision in the
tax measure.
The Democrats say that the ma
jority leaders in both houses are op-
posed TO the Senate amendment with
its maximum rate of so per cent but
are faced with the possibility OF its
final enactment through a coalition
Of "insurgent" Republicans and solid
Democratic minoritics.
Representative Dickinson, OF Iowa,
and other leaders OF tho "insurgent"
Republicans in the House believe
they have sufficient votes, with tho
aid OF the solid minority, to force
acceptance OF the Senate surtax
rates. They have agreed however. to
defer the fight in the House untn
after the conferees Get under way
their work of rewriting the tax bill.
Under the agreement as outlined
by both sides. the bill went TO
conference today without in
structions TO the House managers,
but the managers before agreeing
with their Senate co-workers on the
surtax provision will ask the House
for Instructions. This. II was ex-
planned. would open up the fight on
the floor Of the House, probably next
week
Proposals were going around yester-
day for a compromise at a maximum
figure OF AZ per cent or 10 per cent
higher than the maximum originally
fixed BY the House and agreed TO by
the Senate finance committee.
Spokesman for the insurgents" said,
however. that this was unacceptable
to them and Democratic leaders de-
clsred fatty that they would fight TO
the end for the so per cent maxi

DON'T MAIL SMALL

The postoffice department has is
sued a request that patrons during
the approaching holiday season re-
frain from the use OF small envelopes
and cards which have been extern
sively used during the Christmas sea-
son for a number of years and which
have a tendency TO retard the malls
In order that the mails may be
handled with more ease and speed,
the postofiice authorities request
that cards or envelopes should not
be smaller than 2% by 4 inches.
Five reasons were given for this
request: First, in the case OF ex-
ceedingly small envelopes, the ad-
