TAXES. PLANNED Treasury Experts and House Leaders Differ on Amount of Money Needed. Washington, D. C. — Treasury ex- perts and republican leaders in the house of representatives are far apart in their estimates of federal expendi- tures and income for this fiscal year The committee dealing with tax re- vision has before it figures prepared by Chairman Madden of the appropria- tions committee, which are said to show a smaller probable outgo than that given in a statement by Secretary Mellon and a considerably larger in- come. Other house leaders also have pre- pared their own estimates and on the basis of the whole they insist that it will be entirely possible to reduce taxes by half a billion dollars. Demo- cratic leaders, on the other hand, say this is not possible unless there is to | be a huge deficit at the end of the year, Congress was warned by Secretary Mellon that it must reduce govern- ment expenditures or increase the na- tion's tax burden. Appearing before the house ways and means committee he declared | additional cuts of more than $250,000,- 000 would have to be made in the estimated expenditures of $4,550,000,- 000 for this fiscal year, if additional taxes were to be avoided. Under estimates for federal outlay | this year as presented by Mr. Mellon $3,830,000,000 would have to be rais- ed by taxation, whereas he estimated that the present revenue law would provide $260,000,000 less than that largely to the shrinkage in the yield from excess profits and in- | come taxes.
