TAX CUT DEMAND
MOVE UNDER WAY
Business Interests of Nation
Organizing for Fight, Treas
ury Officials Are Informed.
BY the Associated Press. 4


The demand for another cut in Fed
eral taxes has begun to take definite
shape, and advices received by the
Treasury yesterday indicate that a
gigantic organization is slowly form
Ing throughout the country for the
announced purpose of promoting tax
reduction along definite lines.
While the Treasury has made no
plans and probably will take little part
in proposals for tax cuts other than
to show by its calculations where and
how the rates may be lowered, the
business, financial and professional
interests now getting together will,
1t was asserted in the reports. submit
a practically completed bill to carry
its ideas into effect. Treasury officials
were not advised as to views held by
the organization leaders.
News of the proposed move came in
the midst of the calculation by the
Treasury Of the maximum cut In total
volume of taxes that may be made
without damage to the Nations
finances. The indication heretofore
that the total cut could not exceed
5000. 900, 900 remained unchanged, AL
though late figures on Federal ex-
penditure in the current fiscal year
appeared To snow that greater re-
duction was possible.
Receipts Exceed Estimates.
Tax receipts thus far this year are
running slightly ahead of Treasury
estimates. The expenditures for 10
months have fallen off somewhat and
are now about S90,000.000 below the
total for the 10 months ending April
80, 1924.
Customs receipts are a few million
dollars ahead of the same date last
year and bid fare to continue the pro-
portionste increase. Miscellaneous
taxes have been, as was expected, al
most as productive throughout the
long list of items. and in some of
them, chiefly the tobacco levy, the in
crease has been noteworthy.
Although il is yet too early for the
Treasury to say definitely how far the
tax cut can go, officials are optimistic
and are convinced that a substa ntial
reduction can be put through in the
next Congress. Whether the law
should be made applica BILE to the pay
ments to be made on incomes earned
this year was point, however, on
which officials were not inclined to
commit themselves.

DAYTON, Tenn, May 23.-Dayton
tonight was busting off its best bib

phase of the court test OF the consti-

They held that he was technically il
for action by the grand jury. His
bond was placed at $1,000. but he was
not required to post sureties.
The present case, in fair way to
be heard around the world. was
started one night when a crowd of
congenial spirits had gathered in a
drug store-the town club to all in
tents and purposes. Mr.. Scopes was
present, and in a discussion of the

teaching it in the biology courses of
his sciences department.
Then it was the ball was started
rolling that may land the Dayton
course in the United States Supreme
Court. DIR. George Rappleyea, a chem.
ica1 engineer, manager of an iron and
coal company in Dayton, was in the
group, and he at once suggested that
Scopes submit to arrest that test
case might be had of the new law.
Teacher Was Arrested.

him in his stand, while others were
