ONE CLASS TO ANOTHER AP- -
PROVED BY COOLIDGE

washington.-Faci declaration
by President Coolidge against amy new
tax lcvics. the Senate finance commit
tee restored to the revenue bill the
taxes on telegraph and telephone mes
sagcs as II step toward meeting an ap-
parent deficit of ST5,OO0,oO0 in revenue
under the bill as passed by the House.
The committee action restoring
these taxes was taken after President
Coolidge had let it he known that he
was opposed to any new levies unless
they were designed to shift Il tax bur
den from one class or interest now
heavily taxed to another better able to
bear additional taxati"ns.
The messages tax, repeal of which
was recommended specifically by Sec
retary Mellon. would bring in about
S34 100000 annually, II is estimated.
They were repealed by the House but
Chairman Smoot has said the House
bill would fail by S75,0O0,0o0 Of raising
sufficient revenue in the next fiscal
year. including previous changes made
by the finance committee.
Despite the restoration of some 9th
er minor excise taxes the bill with the
rate schedules as completed still will
fall about S47 100000 short of raising
enough money To operate the govern
mcnt next year on the basis of esti-
mated receipts and expenditures made
by the treasury. Chairman Smoot de-
clarcd. He predicted, however, this
would be met by Increases in revenue
returns over those estimated.
Winding up the rate schedules, the
committee approved all reductions in
the excise taxes made by the House
with the exception of those on tele-
graph and telephone messages and on
billiard and pool tables and bowling
alleys. The tax on the latter, which
was cut in half by the House, was
entirely restored by the committee. 1t
involved revenue amounting To ST.
O50,OOO annually.
The tax on all coin slot machines
was placed at 10 per cent. whereas
under the present law some are
charged only > per cent and some are
entirely free from tax.
Brokers who deal exclusively in
farm products We're exempted from
tax on brokers.
The committee approved the action
of the House in repeating taxes on
the following: Beverages, candy,
knives, dirks, daggers, liveries, hunt
ing shooting and riding garments
yachts and motor boats, carpets, rugs,
trunks, purses and floor space of the
aters. circuses and shows.
The committee also approved the
House action in reducing the tax on
admissions and dues, automobile
trunks and tires and accessories. jew
