MOVE ID REDUCE
 1923 INCOME TAX
Democrat Asks Allowance on for This Yar--MellOn'S Approval

Washington, Jan. Sl.-Rcduction o the 1923 personal income taxes which are payable this year on tho basis of the democratic tax reduction plan, which would cut the norma rates to ? per cent on incomes of s. 900 and per cent under sS.600, was proposed in a joint resolution pro- posed 10 the house today by Repre- sentative Garner. democrat. Texas.
 Chairman Green of the house ways and means committee and author ot the proposal adopted by the rcpnbli- can members of the committed yestcr- day to cut the 1923 taxes about 25 per cent as part of the general re- vision bill objected to immediate con siderstion of the resolution when it was asked for by Mir. Garner,
 Secretary Mellon regards as prac- tical and feasible the plan of republi- can members of the house ways and means committee to make the pro- posed income tax reductions effective on the 1928 payments which taXpay- CTS will remit to the government be- ginning March Is. He believes tho step would entail no difficulties on the treasury.
 Under the optional plan of paying taxes fin four installments probably 90 per cent of the taxpayers take advan- tagc Of the privilege of retaining moneys that might otherwise be turned Into the treasury in q lump sum on the first tax paying date. The mechanics of dealing with a retroac- tive reduction, in MT Nellon's opin- ion, would he largely paper trans action, consisting of the placing by the treasury ot credit to the taxpay- CT on future installments. Little cash rebate, he believes, would be in volved.
 Cannot Estimate Decrease.
 The treasury has had no opportun- ity to estimate the decrease in the to- tai government Income resulting from the proposed change. but some off cials made the guess today that it would range around s200.000,o0O on the payments this year if the 25 per cent reduction all along the line on tax rates is agreed upon as suggested in the ways and means committee.
 Republican members Of the ways and means committee struck a snag in their private consideration of inc tax bill today upon reaching the sur tazes, when a division of opinion de- veloped on Secretary Mullen's pro- posal to cut tho surtaN rates from maximum of 50 per cent to 25 per cent.
 Other differences developed on whether to defrmine the normal tax rate reductions first and frame the surtaXes on the basis of these cuts or 10 reverse the proposition.
 Regardless of differences over the surtax rates, Chairman Green said all republicans of the committee had agreed to abide by the decision Of their majority for purposes Of getting inc bill favorably reported from committee. This action. however. he said. would not bind the members 10 support the rates when the bill reach- cs the house.
