TRIES To
SAVE MELLON
RATES.
Administration Leaders in
Senate Find Longworth
Plan Means Deficit.
BY international News Service.

o-SS~@S-N~eAOAAe~4
While admitting that the Mellon
tax" plan had been definitely killed
by the. House, Administrator
leaders In the Senate today plunged
into the task Of rescuing as much
OF the original plan as possible by
amending the Longworth comprom.
Use income tax rates.
Senator Reed Smoot Of Utah,
Chairman of the Senate Finance
Committee, declared today that the
Longworth rates would not yield
sufficient revenue to keep the
Treasury from running into a de.
ficit and asserted that the House
rates would have to be revised.
Smoot declared a, shortage Of
500, 100000 year would result II
the compromise bill, adopted by the
House, were enacted finally by the
Senate. He based his statement on
a special report filed with the COM
mittee by two expert accountants,
who studied the bill for three days.
The House measure, according to
this report. would raise $2,293 ,514 900
annually in revenue whereas the
estimated expenses Of the Govern.
ment for the fiscal year of 1924.
1925 will total 81, 400 200, 900. The
report also stated the bill in its
present form would slash $446, 27O,-
900 from the total income now
being received annually by the Gov
eminent under the existing tax law.
Indications pointed to a renewed
fight to restore some of the Mellon
rates which were stricken from the
bill by the House. Members of the
committee were said to feel that
several rates would have to be
raised or else taxes, entirely elm
mated by. the House. would have to
be replaced in order to bring the
bills revenue up to the total neces-
sary to meet Government expenses.
The report of the accountants
was submitted to the Senate com.
mittee today at a special meeting.
