MELLON TAX PLAN APPLIES T0 FUTURE No Immediate Change in the Payment Date Is Con- templated. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Judging by some of the letters received from various parts of the country, some people have the mis- taken impression that the revision of taxes which Secretary Mellon pro- posed would take effect with pay- ments made next March. The fact is Congress rarely gets to work in the few weeks of December and the taxes paid next March will be on the basis of the present law for all in- come received up to and including December 31 of this year. hould Congress revise the present law it probably would tuke several weeks of consideration and it might be April or May before the bill yets through both houses of Congress and is before the President for signa Mr. Mellon, however, that the new law the incomes rec beginning next and con- tinuing during 1924, means that the taxpaver will get the bene- fit of the new law when he pays his taxes in March, 1925 “Party Advantage” Dixcussed. by taxpay This has precipitated some discus- sion to whether there will be any political advantage for the party in ower when it goes before the people next autumn. The taxpayers will not have felt any reduction when they vote a year from this month for Pres- ident and for members of Congress. They wiil have before them, if Melion plan goes through, simply the of lower taxes in the follow- : many people, on the other , who set aside every week or month the amount of their incomes that they must ultimately pay the government. These folks would be able to set aside smaller sums for in- come tax beginning next January if they Kknew then what the reduction would be. While the law will be writ- ten 8o as to take effect on incomes received b inning next Januar it will be months after that be- fore the taxpayers will know what amounts they really must pay in taxes. Business Men Interested. Even business houses which like to calculate ahead of time on the money that can be put into expansion or promotion will not know definitely how much of the tax burden they have been relieved of until the spring or even the summer of next year. Congress will remain in continuo: sesslon when it meets in Degember, as this is what is known as “'the long sessfon,” %o there is no limitation of March 4 to hasten consideration of the spring or sum bill be passed in the T, however, the busi- ness world will be able to figure on the amount of their 1924 income or profits that must be pald ultimately to the government, and the expecta- tion is that if taxes have been re- duced for the year 1924 there will be a spurt in business because of the release of capital for productive en- terprise, which at present is ham- pered by prohibitive tax rates. Congress could not very well pass a law which would affect the pay- ments made by the taxpayers next March ember and made an ex- traordinary record for speed. On Fiscal-Year Basix. The government's financial affairs are managed o na fiscal-year bas: that is, from June 30 of one June 30 of the next. Taxpaye the other hand, are obliged to pay their taxes with the calendar year from January 1 to January 1. Al- ready the money that has to be spent by the government from January 1 to June 30th next has been appropriated by Congress out of receipts expected to be recefved next March and June from the taxpayers who are paying their bills on incomes received during 0 it is thet at present the prepared esti- for Con- e govern- ) next to < will go ropriations so as efore June 30 al year begins, ahead with its to have them re next, when the new Theory Governing Congress. Congress must act on the theory that a certain amount of revenue will be available, and already the Mellon plan contemplates a certain hudget for government expenditure after Jone 30, plan of taxation . That is _why what the taxpayer pays next March and in quarterly in- stallments next year cannot be re- vised even if Congress wished to do, unless, of course, Congress wanted to run a deficit. The money which is due from the taxpayers next March und thereafter during 1924 has al- ready been authorized for expenditure in various ways and much of it has also been spent Mah-Jongg!

Bureau of Mines Reports on In- vestigation. .. Study of silver and ita alloy should result in a wider yse of the precious metal in at least two flelds, with a probability of similar results in other directions, the Bureau of Mines has repo! to Secretary of Interior Work in response to a recent re- quest from him for a preliminary study of new uses for silver lr com- merce and Industry. Possibility of developing & non-tarnishing silver for tableware use and the arts and of finding silver alloys suitable for trimming automoblles were outlined as the two flelds in which an investi- gation should result in a wider use of_sllver. Secretary Work has transmitted a copy of the report to Sentaor Tasker L. Oddle, chairman of the senate com- mission ‘of gold and silver inquiry, requesting an opinion from the com- mission as to whether the public interest would warrant the Interior Department undertaking co-crdina- tion of individual investigations and the beginning of a systematic study of new u Iver.
