$400,000,000, because large treasury
surpluses show plainly that the gov
ernment is taking more tax money
from the public than is necessary to
run the government and retire the
national debt, "as already provided
for by law"
The chamber insisted that another
large surplus was in view for next
year, sufficient to encompass the
reduction it proposed and that even
if the surplus should run short OF
expectations cit is obvious that in
view of the credit standing of the
government and low interest rates it
can obtain there would be no great
cause for alarm even though de-
ficit, through unexpected develop
ments, should arise"
It was this view of the chamber
of commerce that particularly in
Cured the ire of Mr.. Coolidge. 1t
was made known in sharply worded
phrases that this attitude, in his
opinion, shows total lack of know
ledge of the federal budget plan.
The criticism leveled at the bust
ness organization today was the Sec
ond attempt made at the White
House to show that the president
considers the chamber of commences s
proposal excessive A few weeks ago
when it's $4OO,OOO,OOO tax reduction
plan was first made public, it was
stated politely but emphatically that
the president considered it out OF
the question.
Despite this view of the president
and the recommendation of the
house ways and means committee,
which is drafting revenue bill
that the total tax reduction be held

WASHINGTON Nov. 25, [P-Re-
iteration by the chamber Of COM
merce of the United States that the
prospective reduction in taxes should
reach $400,000,O00, drew caustic and
emphatic criticism today from the
White House. No doubt was left
that President Coolidge is decidedly
displeaSed with the chambers view
that there would be no cause for
alarm even if a treasury deficit
were incurred.
With extraordinary vehemence, it
was explained at the White House
that President Coolidge considers no.
thing more absurd than a suggest
ion that the government greatly in
crease it's expenditures and at the
same time reduce taxation.
Officials of the chamber of COM
merce, it was asserted on Mr.. Cool
idge's behalf, are trotting around to
various government departments
seeking as large expenditures as pos
sible for the projects it favors and
at the same time clamor for tax
reduction far in excess OF what both
the treasury and majority of the
house ways and means committee has
deemed advisable.
It would be better, in the opinion
of Mr. Coolidge, for the organiza-
ton to devote its energies to pro-
posals for curbing national expendi-
lures as by that process only, he
believes can the tax burden be light
ened.
The views. of the president were
disclosed after publication in today S
newspapers of a chamber of COM
merce statement which declares that
tax reductions could easily reach

President Coolidge Displeased By
Propaganda Of u S. Chamber Of
Commerce On Tax Reduction

to $236,OO0,000 or about $11 ,000 00O
above the 1925, 100000 figure recon-
mended by the treasury, the chamber
of commerce yesterday announced
that it was standing pat in its
$4OO, 100000 demand.
Among the house ways and means
committee members who discussed
the chamber of commerce program to-
day was representative HaWley OF
Oregon, ranking republican on the
committee, who said he would like
to see $400,O00,O0O reduction, but
that it was impossible because of the
condition of the treasury.
A referendum among its member
ship, it disclosed, showed that 81
per cent of the vote cast by mem
ber business organizations on the
chambers tax program had been
in approval of it.
Representative Rainey of Illinois
"a democrat on the committee, eX-
pressed belief that the reduction
proposed by the chamber more near
ly represented the amount of re-
duction that could be effected than
CIle 9AA0,UUOOOO dI1OuA1U p4opOSCu Wy
Secretary Mellon.
The Illinois member said that fo1
five years the treasury had under
estimated prospective revenue ano
that he failed to see why the COM
mittee should put much credence in
the treasury forecast.
Declaring that it was his opinion
that the treasury desired small ta2
reduction every two years and that
these reductions were made on the
verge of elections, Mr. Rainey added
"It looks like the cheapest kind o1
politics"
