ELECTION BALKS
PLAN TO REDUCE
HIGH SURTAXES
President May Have Tus'
sic to Keep Congress
From Raising Rates.

Tax law revision as favored by
the President and Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon seems out of the
question in advance of the national
election of 1924.
Congressional election returns ap-
parently have changed the situa-
tion regarding modification Of the
revenue laws. and the administra-
tion may have to night tax in
creases.
Present surtaxes on Individual
incomes. which Secretary Mellon
thinks are too high. are certain
not TO be reduced during the next
Congress.
Instead of reduction. for which
the administration hoped, in the
present maximum surtax of so per
cent applying on largest incomes.
the President and his advisers may
have real battle on their hands
to keep Congress from boosting
this rate.
May Double Estate Taxes.
Rather than a reduction in pres
ent taxes on estates. Congress will
be apt to double the rate and a
movement in this direction is al
ready gaining momentum.
So far as the long agitated sales
tax is concerned il appears to have
been rather checked by the cleo
ton returns. Its supporters in the
next Congress probably will he
fewer than at present.
The great increase in the Demo-
cratic strength in Congress, to-
gether with the election of new
radicals in the Republican ranks
have made il doubtful if the admin
istration can make any headway in
this revision program during the
l923-24 session.
Hang. on HardinR's Recollection.
Reelection of President Hard
ing by a substantial margin in 1924
would mean an increased Republi-
can majority in both houses which
would make possible the enactment
of important revenue legislation in
the following session. The election
of a Democrat President and a re-
turn of Congress to Democratic
control also would mean a revision
of revenue laws in 1925, but along
different lines.
President Harding went so far
as to advocate a sales tax as a
means of financing the soldier
bonus. a majority of the Repub-
licans of the Senate and House are
committed to sales tax. Democrats.
however. and the agricultural men,
bers among the Republicans have
been hostile to such a tax. with the
result that in the present Congress
a majority has been against any
thing OF this nature.
