SWAMPSCOTT, Mass.,, July Talks which President Coolidge has had with Senator Curtis of Kansas, Republican leader of the Senate, his house guest, have not yet developed a definite poticy on the all-important point of what share of the surplus will be applied to the retirement of | the public debt and what share will be used as a basis for a reduction in tax rates. For several weeks it has been ap- | parent to the President and his ad- visers that the surplus itself would be in excess of $300,000,000 and Sena- tor Curtis added the significant obser- vation that certain economies in con- | nection with the reorganization of | Government departments might pos- | sibly bring this surplus up to the half-billion mark. But the gratifica- tion over the size of the surplus has | been tempered somewhat by the anxiety over the correct policy that shall be adopted in making the best use of the surplus. | Interest Reduction Seen. | The popular demand, of course. is for tax reviision, and, while the Cool- idge administration is pledged to ma- erial reduction in rates, the fiscal experts, including Secretary Mellon, are known to be anxious to pay off as much as possible on the public debt. Indeed, if the principal is reduced, the interest charges which are, of course, borne by the American taxpayers, would be correspondingly reduced. Already since the war the interest | charges have been cut from some- where near $1,000,000,000 a year to about $750,000,000 for the next few years. Should it be possible to cut the public debt still further, the inter- est charges would be cut below that figure for the next fiscal year. 1f the reduction in interest payments since the war amounts to a yearly average of $230,000,000, the size of the saving can be estimated approximate- ly by multiplying by the number of | years the interest would otherwise have been ppaid. Some people, for instance, who have advocated dis- tributing war costs on succeeding gen- erations have said that for 10 years at least no large payments should be made on the public debt, but this would have meant 10 times $250,- 000,000, or $2,500,000,000 of interest that would have had to be paid in the 10-year period out of taxes collected rom the American people. Out of the budget set for next year a large per cent goes to pay interest on the public debt, namely the Lib- erty bonds held by the people at large. To reduce the principal makes it easfer to refund the Liberty bonds at lower rates of interest, be- cause the Government credit is by that much improved. Would Help Taxpayer. The Coolidge administration would | like to give the taxpayers-the greatest amount of rellef possible, but it is contended that to pay off the public cebt is really an indirect relief in that interest charges are reduced and the Government's credit structure strengthened so much that future money can be borrowed at rates of interest. How much shall be paid on the public debt will not be decided until after Secretary Mellon has laid his analysis of the situation before the President. It is known, however, that the question what to do with the sur- plus is giving concern for other veasons because, while it may be a safe thing to give the taxpayers a horizontal reduction for the coming vear, it might not be wise to place the rates so low that they may not be as | productive of revenues in the future as_they have been in the past. The problem really is not merely what shall be done with the surplus | this year, but once the precedent is established, and taxes are reduced to a certain basis, the administration would be politically fatal to run a deficit in succeeding years and | compel a return to higher rates of tax- ation. An administration which must raise rates would be committing politi- cal suicide. So it is seriously being considered how low the rates shall be placed consistent with safety for the vears of the present administration re- maining before the 1928 elections. Whatever the Treasury decides is the margin of safety will be accepted by the President, and theh all sums above the amount to be used as a basis for tax reduction will be applied to the retirement of the public debt.

Enright Denies Police Aided Trips by Dancer in New York. NEW YORK, July 23 (P).—Police Commissioner Enright denied today that Miss Ethel Shutta, actress, was receiving police favor in the matter of traffic regulations in her nightly trips between two theaters. He said that a police automobile had escorted a cashier with the day's re- ceipts from the Cosmopolitan Theater to a_bank. “This service,” he added, “‘seems to be the basis for a foolish story pub- lished in several newspapers that this car was placed at the disposal of an actress moving from one theater to another.” Brann's Associate Dead.
