TAX REDUCTION OF
$323,0OO,0O0 |N'2
PLANNED BY GOVT
C H EERFuL SPIRIT
CONTINUES IN MONEY
and BUSINESS MARTS

New York. Nov. 11.-(By A. Ply
The somewhat greater optimism
which recently made it's appearance
continued to be in evidence in BUSH
ness and financial circles during the
past week. Maintenance Of the adj
vance in security prices was partly
responsible for the greater cheerful
ness, but reports from industrial
centers also were encouraging. Thus
the figures for automobile production
showed that the rate continues re-
latively high. At the same time, the
manufacturers state that dealers are
moderately stocked and that the
prospects for new business are
good.
Similarly in the steel industry. re-
assurance was found in the fact that
the decline in ingot production dur
ing October amounted to only about
half of one per cent. Octobers bet
ter buying, in other words, just about
checked the decline which set in last
spring. The total loss in output,
which amounts to about II per cent
is considered unusually small for a
major movement. while q slackening
in the rate of decline instead of an
acceleration is not at all the usual
thing at this stage of a negative
cycle.
Prices for steel products mean
while remained firm, although there
was some further shading of the
quotations for pig iron.
Although the time has now arrived
for seasonal slackening. railroad
car loadings continued to run we'll in
excess of one million week. The
movement of freight on an unpre-
cedented scale, is, in other words,
continuing.
Publication of the Dunn and
Bradstreet induces of wholesale COM
modify prices showed that the gen.
eral level held firm during October.
Movements during the week revealed
considerable irregularity
Cotton touched new high prices
with the government ginning report
confirming earlier indications of a
1O,250.00O bale crop. but sold off
sharply on the adverse news from
Europe. Corn also advanced we'll
for a time but lost much of the ad-
vance when the government crop re-
port turned out to be less bullish
than had been expected. Wheat re-
manned dull and somewhat heavy. the
December future commanding about
S104.
Pronounced weakness in the for
eign exchanges affected the commo-
dity markets. Sterling fell to a new
low for the year below s4.3S and a
number of the other European cur
rencies did likewise.
Money rates still showed the cas-
Ter tone that recently has been in
evidence and the Federal Reserve
Bank statement disclosed a larger
reduction in rediscounts for member
banks

q Per Cent Cut in Tax
on Earned Incomes
Sec. Mellon Wants
Changes to Be Made
Effective Jan. de-
clares Soldier Bonus
Would Postpone Re-
ductiOn

Washington. Nov. 11.-Revision of
federal taxes. expected to reduce the
total assessment by s323. 100000 next
wear. is proposed in the program ap-
moved by Secretary Mellon for SUBJ
mission to Congress.
Recommendations were made for a
IS per cent. reduction in the taxes on
earned income; reduction of the normal
taxes on incomes from per cent. and
& per cent. to per cent. and 6 per
cent. respectively; application of the
surtax at $4,000 instead of $4,000 and
scaling progressively upwards to 25
per cent. in incomes Of 100000. and
repeal of the taxes on admissions and
on kilograms, telephone messages and
leased wires.
Against these reductions the plan
provides increases by limitation of de-
duction of capital and limitation Of the
deduction from gross income for inter-
est paid during the year and for losses
not Of business character to the
amount the sum of these items exceeds
tax exempt income of taxpayers. 1t is
proposed also to tax community prop
srty income of the house having con-
troll Of the income.
Mr. Mellon suggests that the changes
be made effective next January /.
Mr.. Melons program is outlined in
letter sent by him to Acting Chair
man Green of the House ways and
means committee and made public to-
night at the treasury.
He concluded the communication
with this observation:
"A soldiers bonus would postpone
tax reduction not for one but for many
years to come. 1t would mean an in
crease rather than a decrease in taxes.
for in the long run it could be paid only
out Of moneys collected by the govern
ment from the people in the form of
taxes throughout it's consideration
Of the problem. the treasury has pro-
ceeded on the theory that the country
would prefer substantial reduction of
taxation to the increased taxes that
would necessarily follow from a SOL
diers bonus. and l have faith to be-
lieve that it is justified in that under
standing"
Mr.. Mellon expressed confidence that
the ordinary expenses of the govern
ment would be reduced during the cur
rent fiscal year to a total of not more
than $4,000. 000 900. of which about
SsoO.OO0.000 will be fixed charges on
account Of the sinking fund and other
requirements of the debt.
Declaring it appeared that for this
year and for the next four or five there
should be surplus of something more
than SS0o,00o.000 a year over and
above expenditures chargeable to the
ordinary budget. including the fixed
0eot charges payable out of current
revenues, the treasury head asserted
tnat this gives rea sonable margin
