COOLIDGE GETS TAX
CUT AND BUDGET DATA
Mellon Shows Reduction of
$500, 900, 900 Possible.

Washington.-One of the first tasks
undertaken by the President after his
return to Washington was to tackle
the problem of tax reduction and the
national budget. Treasury department
figures prepared for Secretary Mellon
have been put in approximately final
form, both on expected receipts and
disbursements for the fiscal years 1926
and 1927 and on the working out of va
r1ous suggested plans of tax reduction.
These figures are under considera-
ton by the President and will guide
him in the final draft of the sections
of his message to congress dealing
with the national budget and tax re-
ductiOn.
The first cabinet meeting for sew
eral weeks was held. Secretary Mel
Ion attended and he had an estimate
on the sums involved. In addition,
he was prepared to discuss the pro-
posals for tax reduction put forward
during the congressional recess.
One Of the most important develop
ments involved was the condition of
the treasury. There is every indica-
ton that the balance for the present
fiscal year will be larger than expect
ed. AS result the administration S
recommendations or suggestions to the
ways and means and finance COM
mittees may contemplate a tax re-
duction of at least $400,000,000 and
perhaps as much as $50O,000,000.
A cut of so per cent in surtax rates
right down the line, with maximum
of 20 per cent, will be recommended.
1t will be suggested tina. the
nuisance taxes be largely abolished
and that the improbable tax on small
er incomes be eliminated.

U. S. REPORTS YIELD
OF CORN is REDUCED
Forecast Indicates Crop of
2,885, 900, 900 Bu.-Wheat,
Oats ShouO Gain.

Washington.-The indicated corn
yield has been reduced by 65,000,O0O
bushels in the last month as a result
of drought and continued heat, ac-
cording to the government report,
made here, which placed the prob
able crop at 1855, 100000 bushels.
The estimate was 2,950,00O,000 the
previous month and 2,437,0O0,O0O in
the same month of 1924.
The Grip is extremely spotted, with
the reduction of 100000 bushels in
South Dakota and 100000 bushels
each in Minnesota and Illinois. In
Illinois the total of 378,982,000 was a
surprise in view of recent pessimistic
reports. The Iowa crop was virtually
unchanged, while the Ohio estimate
was raised 100000 bushels, indicat-
ing record yield for that state.
Nebraska's estimate was increased
13,5O0,OOO bushels and that of Kan
sas, 100000.
Gains of 21,OOO,OOO bushels in spring
wheat, 100000 bushels in oats. and
100000 bushels in barley were re-
ported, with the gain for the five lead
ing grains 100000 bushels over
August, raising the total to 1891 ,0OO,-
600. This is an increase of 473,000,OO0
bushels as compared with 1924.
Based on the prices prevailing for
September delivery of wheat, oats,
rye, and barley at Chicago and De-
cember delivery on corn, the five lead
ing grains have a valuation Of $4,33O,-
100000 as of September 1.
The winter wheat crop is 416,0O0,000
bushels and the total of all wheat,
100000 bushels compares with
S73,OO0,000 bushels harvested last
year, which is also the hve-year aver
age. Late oats are yielding much bet
ter than was expected, and the esti-
mated crop is now 1,462. 100000 BUSH
els, an increase of 75,OOO,00O bushels.
This crop figure has been exceeded
only four times in the country's his
tory. The harvest last year was
1,542 100000.
