The Tax Bill in Conference.

Now the tax bill goes into confer.
ence with a wide difference between
the reductions effected by the House
and those voted by the Senate. The
bill as it passed the House carried cuts
In the Federal revenue amounting to
1927, 161 900 The Senate committee
changed IL to effect reductions total.
Ing 1852 .661 900. The bill as 1t goes
into conference provides for a total re-
duction estimated at between $780,
POI 900 and $463761. 900. In other
words, the bill goes back to the House
and thence into conference with a cut
of approximately $3.50. 100000 more
than its final House form.
Treasury estimates indicate that
such a, cut will not only wipe out the
surplus, but will cause a deficit in
revenues. Had the Senate commit
tees bill been passed in substantially
the form in which 1t was reported no
deficit would have been caused by the
cuts provided. In an orgy of tax re.
duction. however. the Senate has pro-
ceeded to slash the measure, and 1t is
now the task Of the conferees virtually
to redraft 1t to conform to the esti-
mates Of the Treasury's ability to
stard revenue reduction.
Should those who in the Senate
voted for these further reductions IN
sist upon their cuts and force them
into enactment, appropriations will
have to be curtailed unless the Gov
eminent deliberately invites deficit
of revenue. The principle upon which
the Federal administration Is operating
is a balanced budget. The principle
upon which tax reductions are being
effected Ia that the revenues are in
excess Of needs. On these two prin-
ciples there cannot be both tax reduc-
ton beyond the Treasury estimates
and liberal appropriations for large
projects for public improvements.
It Is to be expected that the confer
ence will not require much time. The
representatives of the Senate on the
conference committee are in sympathy
with the position of the finance COM
mittee Of that body, and 1t is there
fore likely that the conference agree.
ment will be along the lines Of a rea-
sonab1e compromise between the
House bill and the Senate committed
draft. The question will then come as
to whether those majofities that were
cast for further reductions in the Sem
ate will be held to insist obstinately to
any agreement short of their PROPOSE
tons.

Lower Taxes, Greater Yield.
From the Philadelphia Bulletin.

Internal revenue returns for the
calendar year 1925 constitute the most
significant demonstration that has yet
been given of the astonishing pro-
clivity OF scientifically reduced income
taxes to increase the yield.
1t was difficult to convince Congress
ana a large section Of the public that
such a result could follow the slash in
supertax rates proposed by Secretary
Mellon and supported by Treasury
experts and such advanced students
Of taxation as Senator Reed Smoot.
Yet here is the irrefragable proof that
the proponents of the administration
policy were not mistaken in their
theories and calculations, the gain
from income levies exceeding $24,500,.
600 over the calendar year 1924.
Total payments on incomes in 1925
were $1.S25, 704.135, and the surplus
over the preceding year not only alb
sorbed the loss of 31s,a8S,098 in the
repeal or reduction OF miscellaneous
taxes, but showed a net increase of
50. 211.625 in the total receipts from
internal revenue.
The result Is due to the diversion
OF largo incomes from reinvestment in
taX-exempt securities to the channels
OF industry and commerce. This
tendency will continue on a much
larger scale in the present year, and
be stimulated by the further easing of
surfaces in the higher brackets under
the pending bill.
New York leads with payments ag-
gregating $703. ,1S4, or more than a
quarter of the total collections. Penn
sylvania is second among the States,
with $247 ,439 ,903. while Michigan still
leads Illinois with $207, 1864 against
$2O6 1888 1886, the two States having
respectively third and fourth places.
