 Concern For Future.
 Our concern is for the future The majority Of tho committee are opposed to any plan that would pro- duce a deficit.
 Tn this connection it should be noted that the estimates of surpluscs for future years. on the basis Of the present law. take no account of ex- penditures which may be made in the future, but which are above the sums appropriated in recent years, such as those for flood control agri- cultural relief, additions to tho navy. public buildings. Boulder Dam etc. A margin must be left for these certain to be adopted.'
 House leaders hope 10 have tho measure taken up for consideration tomorrow. An effort will hc made 10 send it 10 the senate by Dcccm- Der r.
 The reduction in the corporation rates would apply 10 tax payments due next March 15. on income carn- cd in 1927. and other reductions would become effective 330 days after the bill becomes d law.
 Consequently, there will b" q large surplus for that fiscal year (the current fiscal year ending next June 30) which under the law will be applied on the public debt" tho report said.
 MT. Green said the committee did not decide whether the reduction in the corporation tax afforded ade- quate relief, but it did find that this was all that could safely be given at this time.
 He said that while some persons claimed corporations already had passed the 1928 tax on to the con- sumer. economists generally agree that the tax cannot be passed on eX- cept by monopoly, and that other than in exceptional cases corpora tions sell for the highest price con- sistent with the broadcst market that can be obtained"
