GARNER AND GREEN
DIFFER ON TAX CUT
Party Leaders Agree to
Slash, but Dispute Amount
and Methods.
By the Associated Press.

While in accord on the necessity for
tax reduction, the Republican and
Democratic leading members Of the
House ways and means committee,
Representatives Green of Iowa, it's
chairman, and Garner of Texas. rank.
ing minority member. in published
views show a divergence of opinion on
the amount and methods of cutting
the levies.
The two Representatives., in an
article in the Nations Business maya.
zine of the Chamber of Commerce of
the United States. made public today,
concurred that the corporation tax
Green believed the most important
cut should be for incomes under $780,
900. while Mr.. Garner stressed the re-
peal of the nuisance and automobile
levies.
Cites Surplus Estimates.
While the Texan declared he would

than President Coolidge and the Treas.
ury officials. They estimated surplus
of $183, 100000 at the beginning OF
this fiscal year, he contended. while
his figure at that time was $4,000
900, the recently announced surplus
estimate by the Treasury being $780,
900, 900.
Representative Green outlined his
ideas on the new tax legislation at
considerable length, warning against
too sharp reduction of the corpora.
ton taxes and opposing the repeal OF
the Federal estate tax.
Cut Held Too Great.
Representative Garner held that the
corporation tax should be lessened
10 per cent, but Mr.. Green viewed
this cut as too great drain on the
Government revenues.
The repeal of the estate tax, Mr..
Green asserted, would lower the Gov.
eminent revenue by approximately
$45,O0O,000. but he maintained this
amount taken off Of the income tax
would be vastly better for business
and the country at large" than the
levy's abolition. He described the
estate tax as an ideal levy which
cannot be passed on or shifted to
some other person by the immediate
taxpayer"
