SENATORS SEEK
MORE CUTS
IN TAXES
Democrats in Upper House
to Fight for Changes
in Measure.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26 The
brief era of non-partisan considera-
ton of tax legislation which marked
enactment of the 1926, 900, 900 tax re-
duction bill by the House has ended.
With the Senate finance committee
ready to open public hearings. on the
new revenue measure as soon as Con-
gress reconvenes, rumblcs of n legis-
lative tax war were heard tonight
from Democratic spokesman. They
fatty announced opposition to the
non-partisan" bill and program
which. if carried out, would change
materially the rates approved by the
House.
From the Administrators camp an
equally sturdy announcement that a
fight will be staged in the Senate to
enact the measure virtually as it
came from the House. There will be
minor changes, little shake-up here
and there to give the bill a Senate
touch, Republican leaders said, but
the heart Of the House mensure-its
income tax rates-will remain as they
now are.
SMO0T PRAISES BILL.
The administration forces, led by
Senator Smoot. Republican, of Utah.
praised the House income rates as
representing an equitable distribution
Of the tax melon. Smoot pointed out
that the proposed new income tax
rates would give the family man of
moderate income the greatest reduc-
ton and that this class would pay
less taxes than at any time in his
tory.
There is no need to lower the
normal rates further than the reduc,
ton allowed by the House or to in
crease the exemptions" said Smoot.
''The new bill, as compared to the
1913 tax law. will cut virtually in
half the amount Of tax paid By citi-
zens with incomes ranging from $4,000
to $4,000.
The tax on incomes from $4,000 to
$4,000, Smoot said. will be reduced
90.6 per cent over the 1918 tax, while
giving n reduction of SAL per cent
on incomes from $4,000 to $4,000
as compared to the 1918 tax
The new bill, he added, will give
similarly heavy reductions all down
the line as compared to 1918 taxes.
The benefits would be, he said:
A IS per cent reduction on incomes
from $4,000 to $4,000; 6S per cent
on $4,000 to $4,000; 63 per cent
on $4,000 to $4,000; 80 per cent
on $4,000 to $4,000: "a per cent
on incomes between 100000 to $780,
900.
DEMOCRATS OBJECT.
On swollen incomes above $500, 900,
affecting only a few men, the reduc-
ton would be 63.7S per cent, as COM
pared to the heavy surfaces of 1918.
Democratic opposition to the House
rates, however, was announced by
Senator Simmons of North Carolina,
and Senator King of Utah. members
of the Senate finance committee. Sim
mons said he would sponsor a sub-bill
affecting income tax rates while King
proposed the abolition Of all excise
taxes, the capital stock tax and a
reduction of the corporation tax.
Il feel the government ought to
adjust its taxes, so as to relieve the
people who bear the heaviest burdens |
in the states" said King. Il feel |
the government ought to get its great |
est revenues from the largest in

'Thc Sweethearts of the Songs" one

"The Sweethearts of the Songs" was
