Democrats to Battle for
$780, 100000 Tax Reduction
Favor Permanent Cut of at
Least 1925, 10000 Want
to Shave Corporation Income
Tax to 10 Percent and Wipe
Out Excise Taxes-Declare
Treasury Surplus Will Run
S1OO,0O0,0OO Above Figures
Quoted by Experts

Washington, Nov. IS Evil
dence that the Democats are getting
ready for a smashing tax reduction
fight at the approaching short ses-
sion of congress was given today
when the ranking Democratic mem
bers of the senate and house commit
tees which shape tax bills agreed on
a basic plan of action.
Out of a meeting between Senator
Furnifold Simmons of the senate
finance committee and Representa-
tive John Garner of the house ways
and means committee, came a con-
crete proposal for a permanent tax
reduction of s325,000,000 which may
be increased to S4OO, 900, 600. 1t would
curtail the corporation income tax
from 10 IL percent to II percent,
or even less, would wipe out the ex-
else taxes and perhaps slightly modi-
fly the tobacco tax and lower the
surtax on incomes between 100000
and 100000.
Both Simmons and Garner have
steadfastly insisted that the treas
ury surplus will run more than a
hundred million dollars above any
figure treasury experts have named,
and that no plan such as that sug-
gested by President Coolidge for re-
turning taxes would be accepted.
Permanent revision is the demand of
the minority leaders.
announcement of the Democratic
agreement today had no visible ef-
feet at the treasury o--cept to bring
reiteration that no permanent tax
revision would be sanctioned by 1t at
this time. Secretary Mellon has in
sisted that there is not sufficient GER
tainty as to tax returns next year to
warrant adoption of permanent
policy.

of refined product jumped from go
to G.10 cents pound.

BOatswain Makes
General Denial in
COastguard Charges

boston, NOV. lS-(HJ-BoatSWai
Marcus Haley, former commander
of the coastguard patrol boat 242,
tooq the stand in his own defense at
a naval court marital today and
made a general denial of charges
that he and members of his crew
aided rum runners they were assign
ed to circumvent.
Contradicting the testimony of
previous witnesses Haley said he
knew nothing of any sales of liquor
by members of the patrol boats
crew. He declared he had never re-
ceived any money from anybody ex-
cept his coastguard salary and de-
MED having made payments to men,
berS of the crew.
Haley admitted that on one occa-
sion that he had taken on board his
vessel the captain and radio opera
tor of the British schooner I'm
Alone" known on this course as
rum runner, and made no entry of
this fact in his log. The reason for
failing to enter the incident, he said,
was that he had reported it to the
coastguard base.
The boatswain denied a story told
by other witnesses that on one occa-
sion the 242 had loaded a liquor car
so and delivered it to Plymouth. The
witness said he had never made a
trip to Plymouth. He said he had
never seen ale aboard the 242 and
contradicted previous witnesses who
said he had drunk some ale on the
vessel.
II am not a drinking man and l
defy anybody to prove that am"
he said.
Haley said that he understood
that a mysterious Mr.. Wilson," said
to have paid money to members of
his crew, was department of JUS
tice agent. He said he had no direct
knowledge of this but had been so
informed by a man named Stewart
He produced the log of the DAB to
prove that on dates mentioned in
the various charges against his
vessel had been at the coastguard
station and not on patrol.
On trial with the boatswain are
Chief Boatswain's Mate Robert f.
Taylor and Seaman Francis z. Nc
1ntyre and John p. McEnroe. The
trial will continue tomorrow.
