SENATE Gets
new TAXBILL
House Measure Would
Make Cut of 29O
Million

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 49,
P1-The tax bill passed by the
house ten days after the start Of
the present session, reached the
senate finance committee until after
Christmas.
Out Of lire with the recon-
mendations Of the treasury. and
calling for a $3.50, 600, 200 decrease
in evenue payment more than the
treasury in President CoolidRe's
opinion, can stand-it will be the
subject of brief hearing, then the
senate will take it up with predic-
tons general that concerted efforts
viii be made to revive its provi-
sions.
As approved by the house. the
measure would result in an annual
tax reduction Of ST., 1000, 900 more
than the amount recommended by
its ways and means committee-at
least that Is the estimate. The
house total was $65, 000, 900 above
the safe" maximum, set by Secre-
tary Mellon and approved by the
president, but more than 100000
600 below the figure recommended
by the chamber Of commerce or the
United States.
Chairman Smoot Of the senate
finance committee has expressed
the belief that the senate may scale
the bill down TO somewhere near
the treasury total. On the other
hand. Senator Simmons, of North
Carolina, the senior democrat on
the committee, ices no reason why
the reduction shouldn't be boosted
70 $500, 000 900 and IL laying plans
10 that end.
The efforts Of the chamber Of
commerce to bring about a $780,
100000 reduction in taxes, already
subjected to criticism by President
Coolidge and Secretary Mellon,
drew the fire today of Representa-
tive Tilson, the republican floor
leader in the house, in a state
ment he declared that the organ
ization started the protest against
treasury Recommendations and
should certainly share the blame
for any atrocities committed by their
allies, the democrats in congress-"
