NEWS REVIEW OF
CURRENT EVENTS
Prospects of Passage of Mel
lon Tax Bill With Dem
ocratic Help.
BY EDWARD w. PICKARD

Q ENATOR COPELAND of New York,
~ Democrat, has practically pledged
his support to the tax reduction plan
Of Secretary Mellon in a letter to
large number of his constituents. He
says he believes it possible to carry
out every Getail Of this plan and yet
to pass a reasonable bonus measure,
which he also heartily favors." The
administration leaders think they can
count ON nine other Democratic sena-
tors to favor the tax bill. These are
Shields of Tennessee, Ransdell and
Broussard Of Louisiana, Glass of Vir-
ginia, Bruce of Maryland, Walsh of
Massachusetts, Edwards Of New Jersey,
Underwood of Alabama and Kendrick
of Wyoming. Owen Of Oklahoma and
Bayard of Delaware also may join this
group. 1t has been expected that ad-
verse votes will be cast by Norris of
Nebraska, LaFollette Of Wisconsin,
Brookhart of Iowa, Frazier and Ladd
of North Dakota, all Republicans, and
Shipstead and Johnson of Minnesota,
Farmer-Labor; but If the nine Demo
Gratis support the bill, those radicals"
will not be enough to defeat it. More
over, some of them may fall into line
lf the majority leaders consent to
change whereby the maximum surtax
rates are cut to 80 or 40 per cent, in
stead of to 25 per cent, as proposed by
Secretary Mellon. Already some of
the farm bloc in the house, notably
Representative Dickinson of Iowa,
have indicated that they would ap-
prove of this lesser reduction, and it
is likely the house ways and means
committee will so frame the bill. In
neither house will there be effective
opposition to the proposed reductions
In normal tax rates. Mr.. Melons rec
ommendation for a 25 per cent reduc-
ton in the tax on earned incomes is
fairly certain to be embodied in the
measure.
One feature of the bill as it is being
drawn is likely to stir up much debate.
This is the proposition, in creating a
board of tax appeals, to authorize the
appointment of as many as % members

salaries of $4,000 without regard to
the civil service laws, but solely on the
grounds Of fitness to perform the duties
of the office" The appointments would
be made by the secretary of the treas
ury. Confirmation by the senate would
not be necessary, as in the case of
presidential appointments.
Tentatively the Republican members
of the committee have decided to class
these provisions as administrative,
which would give them immediate con-
sideration. The Democrats contend
that a Republican secretary OF the
treasury would use the appointments
as political patronage, giving the places
to '1ame duck" congressman. 1t is
believed that if the house should ac-
cept this feature of the measure, the
senate would amend it to provide that
the appointments should be made by
the President and subject to conirma-
ton by the senate.

Il in the house had planned to give
the tax legislation precedence over the
bonus, Senator Smoot, chairman OF the

and as certainly vetoed by the Presi-

to override the veto, though he admits
