DRIVE FOR TAXCUT
Three Bills Call for Personal,
Auto and Corporation Re-
duCtions at Once.
By the Associated Press.

BY tne AstoCldteQ Frees.
Two moves for immediate tax reduc.
ton came from the Democratic side
of the House today. both based on the
estimated Treasury surplus announced
at the budget meeting Monday night.
Representative Crisp of Georgia, a
member of the House ways and means
committee, where tax legislation origi-
mates, announced ne had prepared d
bill to reduce the corporation income
tax from 1915 per cent to 10 per cent.
Representative Jacobstein, Democrat,
New York, prepared plan calling for
25 per cent refund Of personal in
come taxes and an investigation look
ing to elimination of the per cent
automobile tax and reduction in the
corporation assessments.
Both asserted revenues collected bv
the Government in the last five years
had exceeded by more than billion
dollars the estimates of the Treasury
In equity and justice. while all
other taxes are being reduced, l feel
that the corporation taxes should be
relieved. as the corporations are
owned by individuals, many of them
widows and orphans" Mr.. Crisp said.
He added that the revenue acts OF
1924 and 1926 had greatly reduced in.
dividual taxes. but had given corpora.
tions no relief. On the other hand
he explained. the act Of 1921 had in
creased corporate taxes from 10 tc
1914 per cent.
Mr.. Jacobstein predicted a surplus
for next year much larger than the
Treasury mas indicated would be avail
able.
In the Senate Senator Copeland OF
New York introduced a resolution 20
require refunding of all taxes for the
current fiscal year not used for actual
Government operating expenses.

PROBE Of DISTRICT
ADMINISTRATIONS
PROPOSED IN HOUSE
Gibson'S Resolution Would
Give Joint Subcommittee
Power of Subpoena.
COULD MAKE WITNESSES
TESTIFY UNDER OATH
Plan Also Calls for Study to Re-
lieve Congress of Details of
D. c. Legislation.

Thorough investigation of the mu-
nlcipal administration of Washington
by joint subcommittee of the Dis
trict committees of the House and
Senate, with power TO subpoena wit
nesses and to force testimony under
oath is proposed in a joint resolution
introduced in the House today by Rep
resentative Gibson, Republican. of Yer.
mont.
This resolution would carry into ef-
feet one of the most important recon-.
| mendations in the report made about
three weeks ago to the House by the
Gibson subcommittee of the House Dis
trict committee, which had been for
two months investigating Commits
sioner Fenning and the general admin
istration of the District government.
The resolution introduced today
specifically provides for two important
and distinct phases of the proposed in
vestigation.
Two Distinct Phases.
~ ITO make a comprehensive sur.
vey OF conditions relating TO the Dis
trict OF Columbia, the administration
public money therein, to determine if
any irregularities or conditions exist
that require enactment of corrective
legislation by the Congress. and TO re-
port their findings with such recon-
mendations as are deemed necessary"
(2) ITO make a study of the pro-
visions of the Constitution of the
United States relative to the District
of Columbia, to determine if it is pos
sible to relieve the Congress OF some
of the details of legislation affecting
the District. and to report its recon-
mendations."
This resolution would authorize the
creation of joint committee to con-
sist of five members of the House bis
trict committee, appointed by the
Speaker, and five members of the Sen
ate District committee. appointed by
the President of the Senate. This
joint committee would be authorized
to sit during the sessions of the
Sixty-ninth Congress. or during any
recess. to issue subpoenas. to send for
persons and papers. to administer
oaths. and to employ such clerical as.
sistance as may be necessary.
Would Split Expenses.
The expenses of the proposed sur

contingent fund of the House and one
half out Of the contingent fund of the
Senate, upon vouchers approved by
the chairman Of the House and Senate
committees. respectively.
The second phase of the proposed
| investigation contemplates relief for
Congress from the necessity of acting
upon many items of minor legislation
affecting the National Capital. thus
! obviating repeated criticism on the
| floor of the House and Senate that the
! time Of Congress is taken up with the
consideration of a very large number
of small matters which members of
both houses feel they should not be
| bothered with.
Mr.. Gibson said today he will con-
suit with House leaders and with the
rules committee in an effort to get
early action upon this resolution.
