SENATE IS SPLIT
ON CONSIDERATION
Of REVENUE BILL
Three Tax Plans and Compro-
mise Ideas Are Before
SoIonS,
BY PAUL r. MALION.

United Press Stdf Correspondent
WASHINGTON. April 1.-THE
Senate today approached considera-
ton Of the tax reduction bill in a
belugerent frame Of mind.
Some time between now and June
10 leaders hope a revenue measure will!
be sent to President Coolidge. but
they admitted today they cannot now
foresee the probable date, nor predict
the terms of the bill.
Split into many groups of thought
on taxes. the Senate has before it
three main plans and half a dozen
compromise ideas.
The principal proposals are the orig
inal Mellon reduction program to
which administration leaders still
cluing stoutly; the House compromise,
and the Senate Democratic proposals.
To many Senators none of these
three is acceptable, and there is a
movement on to evolve a fourth plan,
embodying some features of all the
other three.
The fight, as in the House, promises
to center upon the issue of taxing big
incomes as against little ones.
President Coolidge will again be ap-
pealed to for a statement of his views.
He is expected to accompany reasser-
ton Of his approval of the Mellon
plan with a sharp reminder that the
country is getting tired waiting for
action.
