ISSUE Of

Democrats Decide on ChaI-

Of Party Leaders.

Quietly confident Of their own
strength, the Democrats in the
Sixty-eighth Congress have deter
mined upon q bold move. They
apparently plan to challenge Presi-
dent Coolidge himself candidate
for election-to veto a tar reduc-
tion bill, for which nationwide
sentiment has been built up.
This bit Of strategy emerged to.
day from a solid week Of jockeying
behind the closed doors Of the Ways
and Means Committee room, In
which the Republican leaders have
been inviting a compromise on the
Mellon bill. and the Democrats have
been coyly resisting.
Offers to Democrats.
On Tuesday, President Coolidge
let 1t be known that he was un.
alterably opposed to a maximum
surtax in excess Of the Is Der
cent proposed by Secretary Of ths
Treasury Mellon. And this inforna-
ton was accompanied by the plain
hint that he would feel constrained
to veto bill containing a surtax
appreciably higher.
On Wednesday Republican leaders
IN the House took the hint and made
m offer to the Democrats, which
amounted virtually to this: Leave
the rs per cent surtax alone and we
Wlu meet you half way with regard
to other taxes"
Today Democratic leaders of the
house announced that under no cir
cunstances' which are now conceiy-
ables win the Democrats compromise
with the Republicans on the surtax
rate, and that they plan to stick out
to the end for a surtax of "A mar
cent, as written in their own plan.
The challenge to the White HOUSE
apparently Ia unacceptable.
First Fight In Committee.
The Democrats viii first ware
their fight for the A per cent
gurtax In committee, where the al.
vision Of strength is close. And 4
defeated there, 1t was stated by
Congressman Garrett, the Demo.
cratic leader today, they will carry
1t to the floor, where they are
Supremely confident of their supe-
f1ority.
The progressive-insurgent group
numbering approximately twenty.
five votes, win be forced to- 20
along with the Democrats because
they favor q sllrtax even higher than
~ per cent, and thus the Mellon
rate of rs per cent seems doomed to
certain defeat. Virtually the same
situation exists in the Senate.
The square-cut issue would thus
be thrown UP to the White House
Of accepting a surtax rate which
President Coolidge and Secretary
Mellon both believe takes the
heart out Of the Mellon program
or yielding to the universal clamor
for any kind Of tax reduction and
signing It anyway.
Decision To Be Difficult.
Both Republican and Democratic
leaders are agreed that the decision
would be q difficult one for the
President to make. It would be
difficult at any time. but Il would
be doubly so this year because Of
