FURTHERTAX CUTS |D. C. HEADS DISCUSS NOT 10 COME NOW President Will Study Budget of Fiscal Year Be- fore Acting. te reports and speculation to the contrary, President Coolldge not going to attempt to bring about any further tax reduction during the coming short sesslon of Congress. At least that s his present Intention, aceording to an authoritative White Ilouse source. The President represented Laving told some of his callers yes- terday and today that he can good reason for making such an at- tempt at this sesslon, and besides, he would prefer to delay action on this WJl-lmportant subject until he had an opportunity to study the sta- of the budget at the end of the present fiscal year, June 3¢, 1925, Ue would then be able to judge wrhether or not there is a surplus, and If it is of sufficlent si rant a further cut in the taxes. In this connection it is known that Secretary of the Treesury who opposes undertaking tax reduc- tion at the co no reason tor consider the subject, while ing the matter with Prestdent idge, has urged sufficient delay order that the present tax reductio law might have an mple opporty ni to demonstrate what it is worth, Barly consideration of another cut would bLe inadvisable, he contends, and to submit it to the sion of Congress would be ir disc Cool- apracti- cable, he {s known to have informed | the President Knowa to Favor Rednetios. resldent Coolidge makes no secret f the fact that he is strongly in fu- vor of lowering taxes. He Lcep on lowering them were none, if such a thing was sible, and of run B 2t the se e be adequately met. Ilis view on tax reduction were made known in his acceptance speech and in other public utterances and in talks with callers. and, according to an expressi to callers very recently, he has idea of changing. According to Mr. Coolldge, prospects of lowering taxation pends on the existence of a sultable irplus in the Government receip when the books of the budget are balanced June 50. This is of his reasons for being so persistent about economy fn the conduct of the Gov ernment’s operation. To further re- lieve the public by lessening the tax burdens the President has made it ry plain to Brig. Gen. Lord, director of the budget, that he wants stil more economy In governmental ex- pemse. While it fs not his desire to reduce expenscs to a point where ef- Sclency {s {mpeired, he has sal ter to wield the pruning knife with the greatest possible dexterity. Oposed to Extra Session. While letting his views regarding tax reduction be known this far in advance, the President continues to erate Lis statement a day or so after election to the effect that he is opposed to an extra session. Discussing this with friends, the President is represented as having no idea of issuing such a call, at least for the present. He sees no good re. son for it, and besides, he is inclined to agres with many others of his party’s leaders that the public is en- titled to 4 good, long holiday from 1agislation. Towever, the President imipressed thbse with whom he talking extra session that he does not want to say that he will not call one, merely that ha hag no idea of {t now 2nd will not call one unless he con- siders such a sesslon as being very cessary for the general good of the ountry.

He algo is anxlous to see other adminis- tration policles worked out before an- other session of Congress, Rumors about cabinet changes con- tinue to be circulated despite the fact that the President less than a week ago announced that there was 10 foundation for them.
