SENATE COMMITTEE
REJECTS AMENDMENT
HOUSE ON REVENUE

Washington, March 1s.-The Senate
finance committee today rejected the
first House amendment to the revenue
bill reached In its study of the meas
ure and reinserted the Mellon provis-
ion for taxing profits on stock divi-
dends redeemed on liquidation proceed
ings.
The House had made such profits
subject to the surtax rates rather than
the capital gain tax Of 12i per cent.
a lower rate than the average surtax.
The House provision was rejected by
the committee as unfair to smaller
stockholders.
A disposition on the part of the ma
jority committee members to replace
the Longworth compromise income tax
schedule with the Mellon rates also be-
came apparent today. Democrats at
the same time were lining up solidly
against the move and were counting on
the support of Senator Lafollette of
Wisconsin. leader Of the Republican
Insurgents.
Should this opposition develop. the
nine other Republicans would have to
back the Mellon rates against the vote
of the seven Democrats. In this con-
nection the administration advocates
of the Mellon rates also are somewhat
doubtful of the attitude of Senator Nc
Mormick, Republican, Illinois. who
,was instrumental in bringing about
the House compromise reduction in the
so per cent. minimum surtaX in the
present law and who has indicated he
favors higher surtax rates than pro-
posed by Mr.. Mellon.
Meanwhile the Democrats have given
no definite indication of what rate
schedule they will support. House
Democrats supported the Garner rates
with n a. per cent. maximum. This
was beaten in the House by Long
worth compromise carrying a maxi
mum of 37l per cent.
Likewise. Senator Lafollette's posi-
ton as to what rates the bill should
carry has not been revealed. Mem
bers of the Republican insurgent group
in the House advocated retention OF the
present maximum surtax rates but lat
err supported the Longworth compro-
mise which cut normal rate to Levels
conforming closely to their program.
Should the tax bill net be put aside
by the committee for the soldier bonus
bill. it is expected the income rate
schedule will be reached late i'll the
week.

Coolidge to Talk
Over Legislation
With House Leaders

Washington, March 19.-President
Coolidge will call members of the
Republican steering committee of
the house into conference within a
few days for discussion of the legis-
lative program for the remainder
of this session of congress.
With three major pieces of legis-
lation disposed of and with prospects
for passage of all remaining appro-
priation bills by the middle of April,
the President believes the house has
done as well as could be expected in
a Legislative way since the sssion
began last December.
The tax, bonus. Muscle Shoals
and three appropriation bills have
been passed on to the senate, and
the immigration measure soon will
be taken up. No great difficulty y eX-
pected by house leade-. Ia the re-
naming appropriation bills as the
two which usually cause the most
debate-the army and navy meas
ures-have been reported.
President Coolidge frequently
feels that the time has come for a
conference to determine what leg
islation can and should be attempted.
Many of the suggestions presented
in the executives December mes
sage have not yet been acted upon
and the forthcoming conference will
be for the purpose of agreeing upon
the subjects to be given priority.
Steps TO bring about speedier ac-
ton in the senate on pending legis-
lation also are expected to be made
soon by the President. Through con-
ferences with Republican leaders OF
the senate, the President for some
time has been making inquiries as
to the legislative possibilities.

formed in the senate today for the
fight on the soldiers bonus bill, re-

indicated the measure would dis
ploceA the tax reduction bill for i'm
mediate consideration in the finance
committee.
The paid-up insurance bill passed
by the house met with general ia
vor among Republicans but the
Democrats were apparently ready to
carry on the fight Of their group in
the house for a full cash payment
option. Senator Simmons, of North
Carolina, ranking Democrat on the
finance committee, declared in ia
vor of such a proposal.
Although agreed generally on a
straight out insurance bill with an
option for cash payments to veterans
not entitled to more than $50, as
provided in the house measure. Re-
publicans were split over the form
of the insurance provision.
Chairman Smoot, of the finance
committee introduced u bill provid-
ing for insurance payable only nj

support the house provision for 20
year endowment policy.

publican member of the committee
however. has indicated a bill carry
ing an insurance clause similar &c

The bonus probably will be refer
