But Few Changes.
Fight for Publicity.

A fight for publicity for the meas ure was conducted in a sub-commit- tee meeting yesterday by Representa- tive Garner of Texas, the ranking Democratic member. At that time Chairman Green and other majority members insisted that the text should be held in confidence as courtesy to Mir Mellon. Inasmuch as the princpal provisions already have been pub lished. however, MT. Green decided to- day that there was no necessity for further withholding publication.
 The subcommittee recessed after yesterdays session until after the first of the year when the full committee again will take up consideration of the measure.
 The bill was made public in the form of reprint of the voluminous revenue act of 1921 with scores of in- terlineations and other amendments indicated. Detailed outlines of these amendments were made public by Secretary Mellon on November il and on December 16 and were printed throughout the country.
 In so many cases the hnguago em- ployed to carry these changes into ef- feet Is SO highly technical as to be unintelligible except on the basis Of explanations by the experts attached to the committee and to the treasury for that purpose.
 The normal income tax sections of the existing law arc left undisturbed except that the present four per cent rate is reduced to three per cent and the present eight per cent rate is re- duced to six per cent. The surtaxes provided for are as follows:
