Resolution 10 Rebate Tax
payers January "a

WASHINGTON, February Is
Credit for the proposal that income
taxpayers be given the benefit Of
Ia reduction of their taxes for 1928
without waiting for the enactment
|of pending legislation beongs to
Senator Copeland, democrat New
York, who on January "a intro
duced a resolution for that purpose.
Senator Copeland's resolution de-
clarod that in as much as Secretary
Mellon had announced a surplus Of
more than 100000 600 at the
end of the fiscal years 1922 and
.1923, and coupled this with a sug-
gestion for decrease of income
taxes, Congress should direct him to
present some plan of percentage
deduction from the returns to be
filed on March IS, 1924, $50 that
the overburdened taxpayers Of the
United States may benefit imnedi-
ately by the improved state Of the
nations finances.
Realizing the propriety as we'll
as the popularity of Senator Cope
lands plan, te Republican LEADERS
Of the House of Representatives at
once sought to make capital of it
for themselves and the administra-
ton Accordingly they met pri-
.vately six days after Senator Cope
lands resolution was presented,
and approved a proposal TO allow
individual income taxpayers to de-
duct a percentage - tentetivvely
fixed at 25 per cent-on income re-
ceived in 1928.
The official record, however,
speaks for Senator Copeland as the
originator Of this plan.
