MMITTEE TO NAME
SCHOOLS APPOINTED

F.. G. Graham. president of the
Board of Education, today named a
special committee of board members
to consider the selection of names for
a number of new schools. The COM
mittee follows: Mrs. William II. Her
ron, Charles F. Carusi and DIR. ].
Hayden Johnson.
Mr.. Carusi is known to be in favor
of naming new schools after local
educational leaders "who have left
their impress upon the school sys-
tenn" and it is expected that the
special committee will promptly ap-
prove the proposed name for the new
Brightwood Junior High School. which
is the Edward A. Paul School. Mr..
Paul is former principal of the Cen
tral High School and had a particu-
larry brilliant school record.
The committee will take under con.
sideration the plea that the designa-
ton of the two Brightwood schools
as the New Brightwood and the Old
Brightwood Is causing endless confu
sion. 1t is the hope of school officials
that the new Brightwood grade school
will be known simply as the Bright
wood School. and an entirely different
name given the Old Brightwood until
1t is eventually abandoned.

TAX CUT DISPUTE
GROWS IN VOLUME
Democrats Prepare Drive for
Permanent Reduction In
stead of Rebate.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Indications that the principal bat
tie of the approaching session Of Con
gress will rage about the tax reduc
ton continue to multiply.
Not only has opposition to the ad
ministration plan for returning the
Treasury surplus to taxpayers through
credit allowances on their payments
next year been disclosed In Repub
lican circles. but Democratic leaders
have made considerable progress In
preparing for drive looking to enact
ment of pernla tax reduction in
stead of waiting, as Secretary Mellon
advises. for a more complete demon
stration of the present laws opera
tion.
A definite plan to reduce taxes by at
least 1925. .o0o, ,0e0 has been worked out
by Senator Simmons. Democrat. North
Carolina, and Representative Garner
Democrat, Texas. the ranking minor
ity members, respectively. of the Sen
ate finance and House ways and means
committees.
Would Relieve Corporations.
Their objective. which might he in
creased to $400. 900 900. would he at
tanned through reduction of income
tax on corporations from 1312 to IL
per cent or lower. repeal Of excise
taxes and modification, possibly. Of
the tobacco tax and surfaces ON indi'
vidual incomes between 100000 and
$50 900.
Treasury estimates of the surplus
which will be available at the end OF
the current fiscal year have ranged
from 5000, 900, 900 to $500, 900 900. but
Democratic leaders have insisted that
the present law is not likely to De so
productive in its second year as 1t
has been in the first.
Lenroot Opposes Plan.
While the Democratic leaders were
making known their plan, Senator
Lenroot, Republican. Wisconsin, told
a group Of New York credit men that
he also disapproved Of the admins
tration's proposal, and suggested, in
stead, that a measure be enacted re-
ducine taxes on next years incomes,
payable in 1928.
Under the administration plan, he
said, the corporations and big busi-
ness men would be the only large
benef1ciaries. and the people who ac-
tuallv paid the taxes would get little
OF the refund.
The taxpayers Of next March, he
argued, will generally speaking,
have collected those taxes from the
public by the first Of next January.
1t would be unjust TO permit the cor.
porations and others to keep a part
Of the taxes they had collected from
the people.
