Rapid City. S. D., July 28.|P)-A
slash Of one or two per cent in the
Incorporation tax seems destined to

tax reduction program.
Administration leaders, who have
conferred here with President Cool
idge, have put this move down as
lone Of the first to be considered in
1.-THE tax cutting planned for next SEES
sion. Some Democratic leaders fav-
ored such reduction last session,
and so concerted action on this point,
AZ least, appears probable.
Other points which seem likely to
gain administration favor include
repeal Of the remaining war nuisance
levies, including those on theatre
admissions and club dues. However,
row is impending on elimination Of
the automobile PASSENGER car tax.
Republicans, who have come here,
have endorsed cut in this tax, now
amounting to 3 per cent but none has
gonp on record for its repeal.
Surplus on Hand
While no administration plan will
be announced until after the pres
ident has, conferred with Chairman
Green Of the house ways and means

and there may be none even then
it has been argued by those, who
came to the summer White House,
that the total reduction must be held
to O,OOO, 900 or $35O,OOO,0OO.
Pointing to the surplus around
5000, 100000 which was piled up in
the treasury during the fiscal year
j ending June 30, some Democratic
leaders have indicated there would
be a fight to make the total slash at
least sDOU,OO0,30e A larger reduc-
ton was sought by Democrats two
years ago.
