Coolidge in Economy Move;
Action May Forecast
Fate of Bonus.

Washington. President Coolidge
sent his first veto message to the SEN
ate, forcibIy disappearing of the So
called Bursum pension bill. which
would increase annual pension appro-
priations about $58,O00,000.
The chief opposition to the measure
urged by the President was that II was
opposed to his program of economy,
and in this argument Republican lead
ers foun1 the reason the President is
expected to give when he vetoes the
oonus-insurance bill, which was on its
way TO the White House as the pen
sion veto was being announced.
Expected to Veto Bonus.
Administration advisers were in
clined to believe the same argument
Will be used by President Coolidge
when he comes to consider the insur-
Rnce-bonus bill just placed in his
hands While the veto is generally ex-
pected by Republican leaders. because
OF the Presidents unequivocal utter
ances an bonus and his short sentence
In his first message, land am opposed
to a bonus" yet there is every conf
dence By the bonus leaders that a
bonus veto will be overridden, while
the Bursum veto Will he sustained
After the message vetoing the pen
sion Increase had been read in the
senate, Senator Bursum moved that
1t be laid on the table and served no.
ttce that he would call it up soon,
when a perfunctory attempt will be
made to override the veto.
Veto Laid on Table.

bill fathered by Senator Bursum and
no effort was made to pass 1t over the
veto. The senate passed the present
bill on April l by vote of 81 to 10
after Few minutes debate and the
house accepted the bill without a rec
ord vote twenty days later.

SENATE APPROVES
DEMOCRATIC BILL
Normal and Surtax Seized.
ules Adopted and Mellon
Provisions Rejected.

Washington. A combination of
Democrats and Progressive Republic
ans slaughtered the Mellon tax rates
in the senate and put through the nor
NAL and surtax rates on incomes pro-
posed by the Democrats.
The Mellon tax reduction program,
in the form proposed by the secretary
Of the treasury and advocated by Pres
ident Coolidge, is now definitely dead.
In its place congress will pass tax
reduction bill carrying lower taxes on
small incomes than Mr.. Mellon pro-
posed. 1t is not doubted that Presi-
dent Coolidge will sign the bill.
Roll Called Twice.
The Simmons or Democratic sur
taxes with maximum of 40 per cent
were adopted by vote of 43 to 40.
The normal tax rates of 2, 4 snd q
per cent won by a vote of A to 81.
Senator Smoot (Rep., Utah), chair
man of the finance committee, served
notice that he would call for another
vote on both propositions when the bill
advances beyond the committee of the
whole to the senate proper The Dem
ocrats are confident that their states
will not be upset In the senate and
the bill will be passed by the end OF
the week in this form.
rs Per Cent Cut This Year.
The Simmons bill contains a provi-
sion for 25 per cent fiat reduction in
1923 taxes, payable in 1924. So did
the Longworth compromise bill, which
passed the house. The retention of
this % per cent fiat cut, applicable to
taxes being paid this year. is assured
whether the Simmons plan is adopted
in conference as it stands or whether
1t and the Longworth measure are
amalgamated with notifications as be-
tween the two.
