No Auto Tax Repeal Specifically, the full force of the administration was sald to lle against the latest proposal to repeal the automobile tax. The president feels that with congress appropriat- ing $90,000,000 a year for roads, the federal government has a right to levy against automobile users. At some future time he might favor a rduction in this tax, but not now. Heretofore the demand for relief from the automobile tax has come largely from the democrats in con- gress but today a republican mem- ber of the house, Hudson of Michi- gan, announced that he had prepar- ed a tax bill that would repeal the levy, cutting . $75,000.000 from treasury receipts. He also proposes to reduce the corporation tax from the present 23 1-2 per cent to 10 per cent of lower. To Stress Economy Policy Coupled with the president's recommendation to Congress for a refund of income taxes will be a re- iteration of the White. House policy of economy. Returning senators and representatives have taken to the executive offices many suggestions for spending the prospective treasury surplus, but Mr. Coolidge is glving them no encouragement. His spokesman said today that he even was determined to see if some- thing couldn’t be done about the government’'s expenditure for lead pencils, which annually amount to $125,000. He has told the budget bureau to prune all along the line, READ HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS Trade Mark Applicants American Thermos Bottle Norwich. House organ.
