10 CUT TAXES Democrats Insist Reduction Can Be Larger Than Ad- ministration Plans Washington, March 30.—()— Next week’s senate committee rooms Sint Over tax reduction took on ded: significance today with pub- lication of the treasury’s latest es- timate of the probable surplus the next fiscal year and the develop- ment that the Democrats are pre- paring to maintain stiff opposition to the administration’s plans for a cut below its original $225,000,000 recommendation. Speaking in Chicago last night, under Secretary Mills of the trea- sury said that because the depart- ment had made no allowances for increased appropriations due new legislation, its first estimate of $252,000,000 for the indicated 1929 surplus had been cut $37,000,000. Moreover, he added, the new $2: 000,000 gure did not take into ac- count probable additional expendi- tures for flood and farm relief. Offers Revised Program For this reason, Mills asserted, the original recommendation of the treasury for a $225,000,000 tax cut would have to be reduced und he outjined the following revised pro- gram which the department is pre- pated to submit next Tuesday be- fore the senate finance committee when that body meets behind closed doors to consider the $290,000,000 reduction bill passed by the house: “A reduction of the corporation income tax, some additional measure of relief to the smaller corporations, a modified revision of the income tax rates applicable to the middle brackets and the repeal of the fed- eral estate tax.” © This revised program, looking to the scaling down of the proposed tax cut to $200,000,000 or less, is not going to have very smooth sail- ing-in the senate committee, in the opinion of the Democratic mem- bers, even though the Republican independents, who hold the balance of power, aro in favor of applying fate ag to reducing the public jebt. Simmons Wants Larger Cut Senator Simmons of North Caro- lina, ranking Democrat on the com- mittee, who has expressed the opin- ion that a cut of three or four hun- dred million dollars was possibl declared yesterday that he w: tonished, in view of reports the March 15 tax returns appeared year, at the treasury - efforts guard against a reduction of more than $200,000,000. He held the treasury had been in- consistent in indicating that the cut must be held down to 000,000 or-leas and called at- tention-that the government wound up last fiscal year with a surplus of more than $600,000,000. “If tax receipts as- indicated by the first returns this year are en than those of a year ago,” © Bai ‘we certainly are going to “pee abundant margin on which ive relief for taxpayers in dire of assistance.” Josef Hofmann Will Be Heard Via Radio Josef Hofmann will play four ni ona York radio gram Sunday night, April 1. ceding the Polish pianist on the pro- gram will be Nina Koshetz, Russian seprano, and Phillip Bernolfe, cel- Met, ‘With Robert Hood Bowers con- @ucting the orchestra.
