NEW TAX BILL
BECOMES LAW
President Signs Measure,
but Makes Severe
Criticisms.

Washington. President Coolidge
signed the tax bill. AS he did so he
issued Il statement describing the bill.
tax reform and severely criticizing
many of its features. He pledged
himself to devote his energies toward
the passage of tax bill less politi-
cal and more truly economic" at the
next session of congress.
The President said that in its adj
ministrative features the bill repre-
sents generally an Improvement over
existing law; that it will provide suf-
hclent revenue for the fiscal year 1925,
and probably thereafter if unforeseen
expenses do not arise; that the retro
active tax cut of % per cent Is ex-
pected by the people, and should be
promptly given, and that it is desir-
able to have definite determination
OF the taxes as applying to 1924 in
comes while the income is still being
received. o
In Effect Immediately
The bill becomes effective immedi-
ately as to the repeal of various excise
taxes, changes in estate tax rates, and
administrative provisions Certain ex-
else tax changes become effective in
thirty days. These include the repeal
IN the tax on admissions of 90 cents
or less, the repeal of the tax on tele-
graph and telephone messages, the re.
Guctfon and repeal of portions of the
automobile tax, the repeal of taxes On
JeWelFy below certain amounts, and
lie reduction of the stamp tax on
grain and other produce exchange
transactions.
The income tax changes, including
the new normal tax rates of 2, 4 and
6 per cent, and surtaxes with a maxi
mum of 40 per cent, are effective on
income of 1924, payable in March,
1925.
This Interests Everybody.
The retroactive cut of % per cent
on INCOME of 1923 payable in 1924
makes it possible for taxpayers to
make deduction from their June Is
payment Announcement was made
at the treasury that regulations will
be issued within the next few days
governing the retroactive tax reduc-
tion.
y In making the June IS payments
taxpayers may take off one-fourth of
the March 10 payment and One-fourth
of June Is installment. The effect is
to permit the June Is installment to
be cut III half. A % per cent reduc-
ton will then be permitted for the
Sept. Is and Dec. Is payments.
1t is estimated that the treasury will
have to refund from $1500O,000 to
$20,000,000 to taxpayers who paid the
full amount of their tax on March 49,
Taxpayers who desire to finish up their
tax payments for the year on June Is,
may obtain the benefit of the entire
reduction at that time.
