pensation bill is passed. would
entirely absorb the present sur
plus upon which the Treasury
predicates its proposals for tax
reduction. In a letter to Repre-
sentative Andrews. of Massa-

Mellon declared that the bonus
would cost taxpayers $1,000, 000,-
600 directly, while indirectly the
cost is incalculable. Mr.. Mel

the credit demand due to the

interest rates throughout the

From a political point Of view,
Senator Smoot. of Utah. chair
man Of the Senate Finance COM
mittee, admits the bonus would
pass the Senate at this time. In
other quarters it is said that the
various pools which show that
the bonus would be enacted over
the Presidents veto, could not be
relied upon as many Senators
now listed as favorable. because
Of their votes at the last session,
have been reelected for a period
Of six years and may be subject
to change of heart on account
of pressure from the Administers
ton. While their seats in Senate
are secure for this period Of
time, they deem it advisable to
consider the patronage angle
over which the political admins
tration holds sway.
1t is significant to note that
Senator Capper, Republican, OF
Kansas. acknowledged leader OF
the farm bloc. believes that
Congress is certain TO put
through tax reduction pro.
gram" Mr.. Capper's belief that
relief should come first to those
upon whom the burden bears
heaviest, is shared by many
legislators, though every member
of Congress is DESTROYS that some
legislation should be enacted al
this session which will relieve
taxpayers with small incomes
The struggle over other items in
the tax measure may bring about
costly delays. The farm bloc
chieftain favors reducing the
normal tax, abolishing the so
called nuisance tax. and above
all. reducing the tax on earned
income as distinguished from un
earned income"
