TAXREFUND PLAN FACES OPPOSITION Demand for Levy-Reduction Legislation May Cause At- tack on Proposal. BY J. RUSSELL YOUN Friends of the President are receiv- | ing reports that the President’s plan for turning back to the tax payers the surplus in the Treasury 8 going to meet with more opposition than was at first anticipated. This op- position will center, it is believed. in an effort to effact definite tax re- duction legislation at the coming ses- sion More than one Republican caller at | the White House today expressed tie feeling that the President’s plan will face a hard fight before it ix passed Senator McNary. Republican of Ore- gon, said that while he considered the President’s idea a very popular one he doubted if it was at thix time & proper step. that he is not enthusiastic over this form of tax reduction and indicated that it will take considerable arg ment when the time comes to con- vince him that it should be tried this year. Surplus. | Would U Mr. McNary believes that if the Gov-| ernment is fortunate enough to have, accumulated a $250.000.000 surplu which {s forming the basis for the a ministration’s rebate and refund plan. this money should be used either to reduce the national debt or make possible much needed improvements throughout the country, such as the development of waterways. the build- ing of more good roads and the erec- tion of more public buildings. The Oregon Senator did not infer that he i= going to Ineist upon this method of disposing of the surplue rather than furning it back to ‘he taxpavers, but he did say with emphasis that he will withhold a commitment to the Presi- dent’s plan until he has heard the sub- ject debated when it is brought before the Senate, Representative Treadway of Massa- chusetts, & member of the Wavs and Means Committes of the House, said he favored the President's plan and hoped it would be successful. but he doubted if it could be enacted hefore the middle of January. Another Re- publican representative who pre- ferred not to be identified with the discussion of the subject at this time, said he fesls very certain that the administration had a surprise coming to it when the opposition lines up to fight his plans after the convening of Congress. Representative Madden of Tllinoie, chairman of the House Appropria- tions Committee, familiarly known as the “watch dog” of the Treasury. said after his conference with the President today. that tax reduction was not discussed and that he pre- ferred to poktpone comment upon the President’s proposal until he has had more time to study it. Two Bills Ready. Mr. Madden said his talk with the President was Jevoted almost exclu- cively to the question of appropria- tions. He reported that his commit- tee already hag virtually whipped into ehape the Post Offica and Treasury ap- propriation bills. and within a week or so will complete its preparation of the Agricultural and Interior bills. The committee will then take up the Navy and later the Army bill. Mr. Madden said all the supply bills would be passed by the House by the first of January. and that the Post Office and Treasury bill. which will total $2.400,000.000 will be passed be- fore Christmas. He stated that the indications are that the appropriations for the next fiscal vear would be virtually the same as for the present vear. He said that the development of the air service will be treated liberally. Smoot Is Silent. Senator Reed Smoot of Utah, who, because of his being chairman of the finance committee of the Senate. will be the one to personally direct the mapeuvers of that hody to enact the President’s tax plan. did not directly say whether or not he approved the plan in its entirety, while at the White House today. He apparently wants to study the President's plan further before committing himself. The Utah Senator said., however. that if the rebate proves not feasible, | no doubt some other plan emhodying the general principles of the Preai. dent can be passed during the com ing session MRS.

We sat at several tables and T.certainly considered my tahle companions as agreeable and easy to go on with as more ever mortals who are not worth several times their weight in gold. I joked with my two neighhors most happily and one of them even told me a very amusing story. When 1 mentioned that they were not vers frightening. although such important despots, one of them related to me a humorous anecdote of a banker who had a glase eye. Thit banker asked somebody he had something to do with if he conld guess which was his glass eve. The answer was, his left My Impressions of America By Her Majesty the Queen of Rumania American Newspaper Alliance.
