 Tax Deduction of S250. GOO, 900
 The president will probably lndi- cate that q tax reduction amounting to some S25o,uUp,o ,oou can he safely cade. in view of the expected sur plus. and in view Of the fact that most Of last years surplus came from source, not expected to pro duce much incom" in the future. President Coolidge has already eN- pressed himself as opposed to the Slo0.0 .000, ,0Vn or more. tax reduction advocated by United states cham bor of Commerce and by democratic leaders. but h. has made it "lea that he.cNprcts taxes 10 h" reduced by the seNcnticth congress.
 His recommendation on tax re duction will most likely include 2 lowering of the l%'2 per cent cor poration income tax rate, and pos sibly some relief in the indiyidua incom" tax rate in the 'mterm"dlal' brackets" which, many people hold haze not Mad as proportionateI! great reductions as the lower ant higher brackets. It is doubtful tta he will urge any further reduction or repeal of the excise or 'nuiSan"e' , taxes which Wcr" imposed durln! inc war. and which have alrcad, boon reduced considerably, It | also doubtful if he will reconueh' any further changes in the fedora ,-.ufo tax. despite the great pres .prr being brought for the r'pea oi this tax.
 lie has already warned that tax" cannot he reduced if congress m dulgos in an orgy of expenditures He will probably indicate quleu that the building program alread authorized will be adequate lor th present. and that tho big navy men cannot expect 10 have all thel dreams realized II there is to be tsX reduction.
 It is possible, however. that Pres iicnt Coolidge may approve som long-timc program of naval develop allcnt. such IS is recommended D navy leaders. \ lH-year or -o-Neti iuildmg plan, whereby the tnlte states would remain within the linn it's set by the Washington arms con terence. starting with three or tou cruisers q year, might find its wa 10 inc house floor. although II IS nc expected that the president WI make definite recommendation qlong this line in his message { congress. Some expect him, hoN eyer. to approv" q plan for author i2ing the building of eight ne cruisers now.
 The recall of General Sunmera from q tour on which h. was mab ing speeches rr.tictzin@ army nous ing conditions ;s interpreted by som IS rrbun and an indication th' there will be no recommendation for lars lu,ldjn@ plan for tn army. Eut the president has mad it clear that hc WAS not rcproNlh the general but mer' y called hll back 10 discuss the budget for LII army. The president may recon u,nd some improvement ill th Hmy's lou#-. although no larA .rm, pcs buil,r- program Is e2 pc.t"d.
