Conditions, he said, have not changed since President Harding went before the senate and in- duced it to send the bonus bill back to the finance committee. “And the treasury’s attitude remains the same,” Mellon achivd. “Even without any soldier bonus or adjusted compensation, the enti- mates show that the federal govern- ment will spend in the fiseal year {1 and again in the fiscal year 1923 about $450,000,000 a year for the relief of veterans of the late war,” | Melion said Outatanding in Mellon's report also was his clear dissatisfaction with the | congress has revised the rev enue laws, In line with President | | Harding’s opinion, expresed in | pensnage yesterday, that the tax bill |must be again revised, Mellon said. “The remedy” for the situation that will result from the present measure lies in: } 1. A prompt reduction of the surtaxes on big incomes (fixed by congress at a maximum of 50 per cent) to a 25 per cent maximum and eventually cut to 10 per cent. 2. A reduction of the corpora tion income tax, fixed by con- gress at 15 per cent. 3. Reduction of the present rates on wealthy estates, which range up to £5 per cent. 4.
