CONGRESS HAS EYE
ON TAX REDUCTION
Bipartisan Bill Is Seen as
Outcome of Talk on Para
mount Topic.
By Consolidated Press.


The drive for tax reduction has be
gun with the opening OF Congress-
Publicly the Democratic spokesmeh
are calling on the Republicans to "l"f-
get partisanship'' and do in this ses-
sion what they have intended TO do III
the presidential campaign year u
1928.
Privately the Democratic leaders eH-
press the conviction that out OF the
discussion will come some cohSlfuc.
tive measure" This means a peilei
that amendment of existing rates VIII
bc made along with some rehates o.,
outlined by President Coolidge ana
Secretary Mellon.
The Chief Executive has adopted a
more or less neutral position. leaving
il to Congress to shape the policy. 30
an unusual situation has presented
itself-the minority party labcrlnS
with the ma jority to bring about tax
reduction.
Harrison Gives Views.
"If a majority of both houses,
whether composed of Republicans or
Democrats, should finally agree that
tax rates should he revised" said Sen
ator Pat Harrison Of Mississippi to-
day, 1--WE will have tax revision. And
if majority can be found to vote
for a tax credit, as outlined by the
President, we will have that, too"
What the Mississippi Senator
means is that the majority will not
be a party majority, but will come
out of the ranks of both parties. He
and other leaders are confident that
such a majority exists and will eX-
press itself in due season.
Vvhe, TDnp,iIIicao N leaders are aware
that sentiment within their own
ranks has not crystallized. Some
are already committing themselves
against tax reduction. Among them
is Senator Watson of Indiana. The
Democrats are insisting that the Re
publicanS know now that a revision
of rates can be made, but that they
want it to be made in 1928. when pre-
sunlably there will be more political
advantage. The Democrats, on the
other hand, are firmly convinced that
any postponement based on political
maneuvering will be unpopular and
that political advantage Will accrue
to the party which forces through tax
reduction at once.
Mellon Is Quoted.
The Democrats are going to use
Secretary Melons argument that
prosperity results from tax reduction.
With the South affected by the re-
cent cotton price decline the rebate
or reduction would, it is reasoned,
come in handy and prevent a serious
depression.
So the southern Democrats are not
taking a casual, but a constant inter
est in the tax question, and under the
leadership of Representative Garner
Of Texas and Senator Simmons Of
North Carolina, have drafted a me1-
sure to which they are inviting Re
publican support. The purpose of it
is to reduce the corporation taxes, the
increase on which was opposed by the
Democrats last time with the pred:c-
tion that it would produce a surplus.
Likewise, reductions in the smaller
brackets of the SurtaX are planned,
and revisions of some kind in almost
every bracket, on the theory that the
