BY the Associated Press.


The administration tax reduction pro-
gram presented to the Senate last week
by Secretary Mellon, is In for some Sc
we're knocks this week by the repreSen-
tatives Of business and the automobile
industry, but the Republican majority
OF the Senate finance committee is con-
fident of holding its position for the
Mellon plan.
Publis hearings were to have opened
tomorrow, but both the automobile peo-
pie, who asked To be heard, and the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
states, which win present its case, have
pettttoned for hearings later In the week
and the public meetings of the COM
naitt0e may not get underway until
Tuesday or Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Chairman Smoot OF the
committee, who is in charge Of the
Republican majority on the committee,
announced yesterday that the previous
tax was only tentative. He indicated
strongly that an attempt may be made
later to make this rate i212 per cent.
Point Of Contention.
The corporation tax Is one of the
main points Of contention in the bill
The House voted to slash this rate
from 1914 per cent to ii u per cent.
Mr.. Mellon said this was too much
He favored II per cent. and in its first
action the committee tentatively &C.
cepted this figure, but now Senator
Smoot appears to be ready to boost 1t
up to 13I2 per cent because of other
prospective reductions.
The Republican majority also is

ton on tax reduction set by Secretary

their contention Tor $500, 900. 900

DOGWOOD
Trees IS ISSUED
Preservation Society Appeals
to Public Against 0espoA-
ing OF Plants.

With dogwood buds just beginning TO
open and prospects that this Towering
tree will be in fun bloom by about the
first OF May. those behind the annual
campaign for its preservation last night
issued an appeal to the public against
destruction.
For the last three years, according 10
p. L. Kicker Of the Department Of Agri-
culture. who Is president Of the Wild
Flower Preservation Society. the dog
wood has come into bloom between the
FIRST and the fifth day Of May, and
unless exceptionally warm weather and
more rains should come, this viii prob
ably be the case this year.
Says Rain Has Been Scarce.
So far there has been q lack OF Spring
rain, according to Mr.. Kicker. and the
early blossoming magnolia trees through
out the city already have suffered. The
japanese cherry trees around the Tidal
Basin, however. Mr.. Kicker thinks, have
roots running down to ground where
they can draw moisture seeping from
the Tidal Basin and thus be In as good
condition a. usual.
The big japanese magnolias In the
parks. which have purpiish tint to
their waxen petals. also are coming out
in bloom. and soon will be at their
height.
The campaign for preservation OF the
dogwood, which has been waged yearly
by the Wildnower Preservation Society
and the National Capital committee OF
the Garden Club Of America, will con-
tinue this year. This beautiful flower
ing tree has been In danger Of extinc-
tion In the vicinity Of Washington, on
account OF the ruthless way those at
tracted by the flowers used TO break of
its limbs and bring whole parts of trees
home.
Opposes Despoliation.
AS result OF the annual campaigns.
however, II was estimated by Mr. Kicker
yesterday. there has been a substantial
change In the attitude of the public,
and last year there was much less evi-
dence OF despoilation OF the beautiful
trees than formerly.
II is hoped that this year no one will
break of the dogwood branches, but
will leave them TO flower In the woods.

satisfaction OF all who may see them.
