Administration Convinced
Treasurer's Proposal
Cannot Be Adopted.
TO BE COMPROMISE
Coolidge Will Be Compel
ed to Sign Measure
Presented to Hin. d.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Copyright by The San Antonio Light.
Washington. ID. C., April 29.-As
the climax of the tax revision fight
approaches in the Senate. the admins
tration has become convinced at last
that the rates proposed by Secretary
Mellon cannot be adopted.
Instead the President will have to
be content with a compromise be.
tween extremes. And he will be COM
PEELED TO sign the bill presented ia
him. for there is no chance of modi-
fication even if he should veto the
measure. Sentiment in Congress has
crystalized until it is fixed. No
amount of pressure from the admins
tration can alter situation in which
combination Of Democratic and in
surgent Republicans hold the real
power.
The Senate is about to vote on n
series of amendments. Senator
Smoot. chairman of the finance COM
mittee. is starting exactly the way
Representative Longworth. Republi-
can leader. did in the House. He is
cndcavoring to get record vote on
the Mellon rates and will be content
to get through that kind of bill
which represents the mean between
two extremes.
Politics Wins Battle.
The Democrats and insurgent Re
publicans have combined to support a
rate much higher with respect to
large incomes than Mr.. Mellon recon-
mended and much lower rates so far
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1924-04-29

as persons Of smalleS income are con-
eerned, than was originally proposed
by the administration.
The battle between sound economics
as represented by Secretary Mellon
and good politics as reflected by ma
jorities in both the Senate and House
has been won by the latter. Mr. Mel
Ions idea that rich and poor alike
would ultimately benefit by scientif-
ically applied tax system has been re-
jected in favor of a scheme which re-
duces slightly the burden on the
wealthy but materially cuts the taxes
of individuals with incomes up to
$4,000 and $4,000 a year. There
are ever so many more voters in the
latter group. Fear that reductions
granted the wealthy would. be the
subject of criticism on the stump has
prevailed in Congress.
Mr.. Melons own position has been
vulnerable. for while If analysed to
the last detail. it would be found that
he is not affected very much by any
bill passed. the impression has been
spread by his opponents that he would

profit personally as would others Of
large income with whom he has been
affiliated.
The discussion of the bonus has had
lettering effect. too. The belief
that the bonus would cost a good deal
more .han has been estimated is
controlling influence. Congress is in
spending rather than a saving mood.
Mr.. Coolidge in his New York speech.
pointed to the number of measures
seriously stressed which if approved
would require just double the entire
income of the United States govern
mcnt. Political pressure is in many
cases responsible for the desire to APP
propriate for specific objects bene,
fetal to certain constituencies.
Perhaps when the presidential cam
paign is over and a new Congress
has been elected. there will be re-
newed demand for tax reduction. The
President will certainly not express
himself as satisfied with the bill Civ
en- him and he will sign il with what
may be termed left-handed approval.
He will be in a position to carry on

Across the Arabian desert, on a
