PERMANENT SLASH
! IN TAXES FAR OFF;
1928 CUT ASSURED
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Leased Wire Service TO The Journal.)
Copyright, 1924


ia WASHINGTON, Feb. 81. - Tax
legislation so far as it affects in
comes received during the year 1924
is likely to be postponed until next
autumn. The joint resolution pro-
viding for a reduction in 1928 in
comes, payable this year, will be
passed much sooner.
Almost overnight the outlook for
the passage of a comprehensive reve-
nue. bill has changed. The coalition
between the Democrats and the in
lsurgent Republicans has resulted in
the framing of a bill which from the
viewpoint of the treasury will Gre
ate a deficit and, therefore, must be
vetoed. Unless the senate rewrites
the measure-and that is not likely
to happen. until after months of de-
! bate--the chances are tax revision
will be the paramount issue before
the people in the coming campaign.
. Everything from now on Will be
done with q view to political adVan-
tage in the battle at the polls. In
stead of going to the country with
a bill for which both Democrats and
Republicans could claim credit, the
two parties will blame one another
and ask for support so that a new
tax bill can be passed.
The delay in enacting 6. new reve-
niue law, of course, interferes consid-
erably with the plans of business
concerns and individuals who are
making their expenditures and in
vestments during 1924, but mas
much as tax payments on this years
income are not due until March,
1926, congress is in no particular
hurry about rushing a revenue bill
through.
How it VIII Work Out
The taxpayers of the country.
however, will not be in a happy
frame of mind il they can not get
some reduction when they pay taxes
on their 1928 incomes and so both
parties have promised q reduction.
The first payment of 1928 taxes is
due next month and taxpayers are
being advised to pay their taxes for
the year in quarterly installments
so that when congress does pass a
joint resolution or amendment to
the present revenue act giving a
one-fourth reduction on 1928 taxes,
the taxpayer will be permitted to
omit one Of the quarterly install
ments If the joint resolution is
spassed before June Is, taxpayers
may choose to omit the particular
@payment due on that date. though
regulations governing the rebate of
gtaxes necessarily would have to be
drawn up 50 as not to affect the
regular and expected flow of funds
Unto the treasury.
" The nub of the situation Is that
the reduction on 1923 incomes is go
.ing to be effective sometime during
the present year, but that congress
! will not finish consideration of the
main revenue act until the Novem
her elections are at hand.
%There is always the possibility
that congress at the last minute will
pass the revenue act, but the out
look at the moment is against its

tainty Of a presidential veto.

SEC. WEEKS AYERS

WASHINGTON, Feb 25.-Opposi-
ton to the granting of Philippine in
dependence was voiced today by Sec
rotary Weeks before the house inSu-
lar affairs committee.
The danger to an Independent Phil
lpplne government. Mr.. Weeks said,
would arise from external agrees
sion, internal disScnsiOnS, the lack
Of Filipino participation in the COM
merce and industries Of the islands
and from the financial condition Of
the government"
Mr.. Weeks gave his personal opin.
ion that complete IN dependence could

protected. The last government
bond issue extends fog 20 more years.
In prepared statement, the secre-
tary suggested that there Should
be on the part of the present lead
ers Of the Philippine Islands a dis
position to obey present laws and CO..
operate with island Officials appoint
ed by the United States before in.
dependence is considered.
|, While he commended the Filipino
people for their. progress towards
unity, he added that this problem
was not one which should be settled
in day.
Secretary Weeks said the islands
| Indebtedness probably could be adj.
justed if independence were given,
but recalled that 1--WE have the ex,
ample Of a government which
through speculation in period OF
four years, lost outright more than
the total revenues from taxation in
one year." No blame, he declared
has been fixed for this. ~
Referring to the Philippines locd'
ton from a military view, Mr.. Week
showed that in the Important archr:
pelago, of which the islands were
a part, Japan was the only indie
pendent country.Y He added that
the view that "the Philippine islands
would remain unmolested if unpro
tected is not based on the experiences
of any of it's neighbours"

mittee again went into executive SEES
sion to look over kilograms passed
between Washington and Fall and
Mclean at Palm Beach. Represent
atives of the Western Union and
Postal companies brought additional
copies of kilograms to the commit
tee room for examination.
The committee is not expected to
resume it's public hearings until it
has completed examination of all
kilograms sought and inserted in the
record those it selects for the pur-
pose. After that task is finished, it
is thought that Mclean will be
among the first witnesses called,
Senator Walsh, Democrat, Montana,
leader in the inquiry, having mott.
fled his counsel, Wilton J. Lambert,
that the committee would require the
