Slash of 25 Per Cent in Federal
 Income Tax Next Year Now Likely
Republican Leaders Sec Action As Political Necessity
 As Reduction Will Be Part of Campaign Issues

knew exactly what the surplus would be.
 Democrats charged that the re- publicans were holding off the tax reduction until just before the pres idential campaign of next year to capitalize the political effect.
 Want It As Issue
 Tax reduction will be made the salient point Of the presidential campaign if republicans can do it.
 Especially if President Coolidge runs for reelection, the record of tax reduction and economy (which republicans contend enabled tax re- duction) will be stressed 10 the ut most. The president asked at the opening of this session that a re- bate be made on taxes paid last Tuesday. Congress overruled him and failed to grant the request.
 Democratic Position
 The democratic position is ex- plaincd by Senator's Harrison, dem. Miss, and Reed. dem, Mo, who de- manded in the closing days Of con sress that a rebate of at least 25 per cent be authorized.
 When the republicans bring ir their bill in December an effort may be made to revise the schedules but the proposal for the general 9 per cent reduction will not be opposed Tax reduction, like peace. law and order are issues that everyone gen, orally is for.
New Britain herald., 1927-03-18

Washington March IS {UP)- The federal income tax is destined to be reduced next year at least 25 per cent. according to reliable indi- cations today.
 Republican leaders here have de- cided that political and economic conditions necessitate a tax reduc- tion before the presidential elections next year and it will be granted soon after congress reconvenes in December.
 800 Million Surplus
 Secretary of the Treasury Mellon says the treasury surplus. this year will exceed s500,0oo,o0O, compared with the s3S3,0o0.oo estimate made by Mellon and President Coolidge at the opening Of congress last De- cember. The $500, 0,0oo,o0O will be applied to retirement of the public debt, the interest of which IS now absorbing much of the taxes collect ed. Next years expected surplus will be used for the reduction.
 Democratic Effort
 Democrats knew this was coming and attempted at the session of con- gress just closed to force through some sort Of tax reduction. The gov ernment's fiscal year Gts business year) does not terminate until June 30. Republicans therefore argued that 1t would be unwise to deal with the nations finances before congress
