FIX
MINOR TAX
ITEMS
Publicity, and Normal and
Surtax Rates Center Of
Chief Fight

Behind locked doors, Senate and
House conferees' battled today over
the income tax schedule and other
controversial provisions in the 1924
tax reduction bill.
Working on a rapid schedule,
the conferees have concluded with
practically all Of the minor items
and amendments. Thus Tar, Demo
Gratis have offered little opposition.
Center Of Fight.
The chief fight centered around
the normal and surtax rates, the
corporation and gift taxes, and the
Senate provision for publicity OF
returns. Administrative leaders
were more hostile to the publicity
provision than any other amendment
ment would be harmful to business,
even more 80 than the higher sur.
tax rates.
With q majority in the conference,
It was virtually assured today that,
despite the spirited antagonism Of
Democrats, the Republicans would
be able to write the Longworth COM
promise rates in the report to the
Senate and the House. Senator
Smoot Rep.) Of Utah, chairman Of
the Senate Finance Committee, took
the lead in the move to restore the
House taxes, which are slightly
lower than the Simmons rates.
Even Democratic conferees admitted
they had little chance to successfully
forestall Shoots move.

certain that they could hold their
forces intact to reject any attempt
to accept the Simmons substitute.
Democrats in the lower chamber
equally were confident that they
could win insurgent support to
their plan, and instruct the con-
ferees to report the Democratic
plan. Insurgents deserted the
Democrats and supported the Long
worth compromise when the bill
passed the House.
Under spur from progressive
leaders in the Senate, who favored
the Simmons plan, there were 1ndi-
cations, however, that the House
insurgents might reverse their pre-
vious stand.
In the Senate Senator Simmons
Dem.) of North Carolina declared
he was assured Of the same Demo
cratic progressive strength which
passed his bill.
Senate Republicans were part1cu-
larfly anxious to restore the House
rates because they do not want a
