HOUSE COMMITTEE
VOTES APPROVAL Of
TAX REDUCTION BILL

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE new
revenue bill providing for COM
plete revision OF federal taxes and
for a 25 per cent reduction in 1923
income taxes was voted favorably
reported to the house today by the
ways and means committee.
The vote was Is to 8, eight of the
eleven Democrats on the committee,
voting present with the announce.
ment that they opposed the income
tax rates fixed by the Republicans
in private on the lines suggested by
Secretary Mellon but that they did
not wish to delay reporting Of the
bill.
The Mellon income tax rate
adopted by the committee provides
fCr Il reduction from to per cent
in the normal tax on the first $4,000
Of net income and from per cent
to per cent on the remainder OF
the net income. The maximum sur
tax rate was reduced from 90 per
cent to 25 per cent on incomes OF
100000 and over and was begun
at / per cent on net incomes Of
$780, instead of at $4,000.
Another feature of tax revision
came up soon afterward in the house
when debate was opened on the.
Joint resolution for constitutional
amendment to prohibit the issuance
of taX-eXempt securities.
The revenue measure provides for
a saving to- the taxpayers OF about
$500, 900, 600 annually, based on the
revenue receipts of 1921, and for
about $225.000 ,000 in income taxes
payable this year on 1928 incomes.
About Sis, 0C0, 900 of the loss In
revenue will be suffered through re-
ductions in the indirect or war eX-
else taxes. many of which were re-
nealed entirely. The remainder re-
| suits from the cut in income rates
The house today began consldera
| ton of the constitutional amendment
| TO prohibit the issuance of taN-eN
empt securities, n feature of the tax
revision scheme suggested by Secfe
tary Mellon.
Eight hours of debate was allowed
for the amendment resolution under
a special rule adopted by the rules
committee. and a vote on the meas
ure will not be ached until tomor'
| row.
Determined opposition, largely
from the Democrats, developed
against the resolution, which was
adopted by the house last year but
was not voted upon in the senate
In view of this, proponents Of the
amendment, including Representa-
tive Green, Republican, Iowa, Its
author, were apprehensiVe OF its sue
cess, a two-thirds vote being neces
sary for passage.
The resolution, in effect, grants
the federal government power tC
tax state and municipal securities
and likewise would permit city anc
state governments to tax fed
eral securities. Secretary Mellon
has estimated that about $11, 600,
600, 600 is invested in state anc
municipal securities which cannot
now be taxed by the government.

.DOHENY CORRECTS
FIRST ESTIMATE OF
NJ ADOC PAYMENTS

WASHINGTON. Feb. 7. - E. l..
Doheny, the California oil operator,
has notified the senate oil commit
tee that instead of the $250,000 he
recently estimated his interests had
paid William G. McAdoo's law firm,
the amount actually paid so far is
$4,000, including an annual fee of
$25, 900 to Mr.. McAdoo himself.
In d letter on the subject sent. to
Chairman Lenroot. Mr.. Doheney
added that none of the money, or
any other payments. ever had been
given the McAdoo firm with regard
to "any matter relating to the con-
tracts and leases which have been
under investigation by your commit
tee"
The letter follows:
ION the first instant. while testi-
flying before your committee as a
witness under subpoena, / was ques-
toned by the chairman IN the sub
ject of the employment by companies
in which L am interested of persons
who prior to sucn employment held
public office, and speaking entirely
from memory. [ testified that Mi.
William G.. McAdoo and his New
York firm had, | thought, received
Il total of $500 dis compensation
for services as attorneys and counsel,
that sum being made up of the
amount paid the firm of which Mr..
McAdoo was member in New York
and, as I thought and then stated,
the sum of $4,000 as yearly re-
| tainer. to Mr.. McAdoo at Los
Angeles.
by telegraph Mr.. McAdoo called
my attention to the fact that L was
in error in regard to these amounts,
and | lave had the records looked
up and now beg TO inform you that
en- November 20, 1919, there was paid
/ to the law firm of McAdoo, Cotton
& Franklin the sum of $100,0 900. Be
ginning March /, 1922, Mr.. McAdOO
| has been in receipt at an annual re-
taner at the rate Of $4,000 per year
on account of which the fOllowin :
paymentshave been made:
March l, 1922, $12, 500.
august /, 1922, $12, 500.
February l, 1928. $4,000.
July 81, 1928, $4,000.
1T will thus be seen that the to-
tai paid TO the firm of which Mr.. Me
Adoo is Il member in New York, and
! paid him as counsel at Los Angeles,
is $150,000 instead of $3.50, 900, as er.
roneously stated by me, and that
Mr.. McAdoo's annual fee is $25, 000
instead of $4,000, as also erroneous
/ ly testified by me. I request that my
testimony be considered as corrected
accordingly.
Permit me to add that. as already
testified to by me, neither Mr.. Nc
/ Adoo's New York firm nor himself
personally was ever employed in any
way in connection with any matter
relating TO the contracts and leases
which have been under investigation
by your committee"

TO BE NEAR WASHINGTON;
SITE YET TO BE SELECTED

rial to Woodrow Wilson have been
discussed within the last few days
by those who were his friends and
followers in the days of his leader
ship. There are many divergent
views among them, which have not
vet shown signs of crystallizing into
a definite plan. Senators from his
native state of Virginia have urged
that his body should u on Virginia
soil, while from Princeton has come
a. claim that he should go back in
death to the scholastic scenes there
of his carly triumphs.
Perhaps there will come from all
of this discussion a movement tS
erect to his memory at some appro'
priate place a memorial that is not
also a, tomb, as the Washington
monument and the Lincoln memo

snect and admiration of the nation
