 Marjorie said ner father. D. K. Anderson. had left her with Mrs. Pittmann while he was working. She saw a chocolate candy bar in the house and the temptation was too much for childish desires.

Advises Senate Committee House Tax Reduction
 Bill Must Be Cut
BUSINESS CONDITIONS
 ARE NOT TO CHANGE
Government Expenditures Increase Revenues
 About the Same

WASHINGTON, April 3.-Sec- Ietary of Treasury Andrew w. Mellon foresees no material change in business conditions during the balance of the calen sar year from those prevailing during the last two years
 Secretary Melons views are enclosed in prepared statement on tax reduction submitted to the Senate Finance Committee in which he predicted little diff ference in income tax receipts next year.
 The Secretary said. It would take a mighty wise man to pro phesy the course of business dur ing the next months. There is nothing to indicate that business conditions will differ materially during the balance of the year.
 Must Cut Reduction .s.s..4,-
 Secretary Mellon reported on the outlook for the Treasury for next year and told the Senate Finance Committee that the $290.000,0 900 tax reduction voted by the House must be pared down to $201,O00,000 perhaps to $1S2,00O.O00 This is even less that the Treasury Secretary proposed to the House last Fall and is necessary, he explained, because of increased Government expenditures rather than due to any drop in revenues which are expected to equal last year on the basis of the first returns. Plans for Bill
 The first Administration pro- posal was for a cut in the taxes of $225.0O0,O 900 The House of Representative further cut the tax by increasing the reduction to $29O,000,000 To attain a $200. 100000 limitation in the re- duction, the Secretary suggested that the present automobile tax of per cent. which was repeal ed by the House, be restored to the bill, saving $66,000, 900, and that the present corporation tax of 131a per cent be reduced only to 12 per cent instead of Il E per cent as voted by the House. ~, The Senate e Committee on Finance has begun working on the House tax reduction bill, which was passed before Christ mas, after waiting for the March 18th returns. The postponement of the consideration of the meas ure was decided upon last Janu- ary when 1t was found that the majority in the Senate seemed to favor a further reduction of the taxes from the amount voted by the House rather than to restore enough taxes to meet the Treas ury Department estimates.
