TON, September 14.-Secretary Hoov-
er, returning from a post-food tour
through half a dozen States, Is pre-
pared to submit to President Coolidge
an optimistic report on the progress
being made toward rehabilitation by
the Mississippi Valley.
That Is, the report will be OPP

Mr.. Hoover points out that his op-

'Ninety-two per cent OF the flood

today. The Secretary explained that
check-up on Red Cross funds re-

be in a position to tell just what
the situation is with regard to ex-
tension of relief through the Winter

listened sympathetically to the pleas
for more food. clothing. feed, seed
and household furnishings for Winter,
and has approved additional grants
of Red Cross money sufficient to meet
the needs Of the entire food area at
least until the first Of the year.
The new allotments, which include
funds for repair and reconstruction

INSURGENTS HOLD
CARDS IN TAX GAME
Republicans and Democrats
Agree on Reduction,
Differ on Extent.
BY the Associated Press.


While both Republicans and Demo.
Gratis in Congress are agreed that
there should be substantial reductions
in the Nations tax bill, effective next
year, composing of widely divergent
views will be necessary before the
legislation can be sent to the Presi-
dent for his approval.
The House ways and means COM
mittee will begin drafting the meas
ure before Congress meets, with a
view to putting it through the House
before the Christmas recess. or i'm
mediately afterward, but when the
bill reaches the Senate it will be sub
1ected to the rewriting which has
been done there to all revenue meas
ures since the war.
With a presidential campaign In
the offing Senate Democrats are not
likely to enter into the tacit agree
ment they did two years ago on the
major features which the Republican
majority of the finance committee
wrote into the revenue law. This or
itself will complicate the situation
and make for delay.
Insurgents Hold Power.
With neither Republicans nor Dem.
ocrats able to muster a working ma
iority in the Senate the insurgents,
who have pronounced views on the
form reductions should take, will hold
the balance of power and probably
will be able to delay action until farm
relief, flood control and other meas
ures have been put we'll on their way
or have been enacted.
Admittedly these and other Ques-
tions, such as naval expansion, Will
have their effect upon the amount of
reductions which can be made without
impairing the operations Of the Treas
ury in the coming years, when there
may be a decline in industrial pros
perity.
Differences Of opinion as to what
and how much reductions in taxes
should be made exist, not only as be-
tween the leaders of the major par
ties In Congress. but also among the |
members of each individual party.
This is illustrated in the matter of |
surtax rates, which have been a chief |
bone Of contention in Congress since |
the first postwar revision bill was |
introduced. Some Republican leaders |
favor a further reduction in the max |
imum rate, whereas others hold that |
the present rate should be retained, |
basing their argument on the prin-
ciple Of ability to pay.
Democrats at Odds.
Some Of the Democrats want re-
vision of the intermediate surtax
brackets, claiming that the present
ones are inequitable. while still others
are prepared to resist any changes
in surtax rates, holding out for a re-
duction of rates which would relieve
from all income taxes persons having
an income Of less than $4,000 an
nually.
One feature Of tax revision on
which both parties seem to be agreed
now is that providing for a reduction
of the corporation taxes. How much
the cut will be remains to be deter.
mined, but some leaders are suggest.

pestion that all Latin American
