Me By David Laurence. Special Correspondent of The Eve- ning World. WASHINGTON, Aug. 10 (Copy- reht, 1921).—The American people | will have their first cut in taxes since the European war when they make out their income tax returns next March. President Harding and Necretary Mellon, as well as Repub- lican Ieaders jn Congress, mindful o the oF overwhelming opinion demands be cut and taxes reduced, have out- lined a programme which represents 4 net reduction of $600,000,000 in the Amounts that must be raised by di- Feet Mr Treasury stood in the President's of outlined to the of the that Government expenses taxation. Marling and the Seoretary of room the executive offices and correspomients the in the tax programme, Chairman Joseph Ford- ney of the Ways and Means Com- mittee and Republican Leader Frank Mondell also stuod by ready to answer questions and explain the figures, The picture was one of ab- solute informality, the President having asked his colleagues to stay ~n the room with him and submit to interrogation so that the public might have no misapprehensions about the tax programme, In order best to understand the changes that have Been made the fol- lowing table summarizes the data given out by the President and the Secretary of the Treasury. Amount estimated two weeks ago by Seerctary Mellon as neces- nature changes Siry {to run the Government, Amount now officially esti- mated as budget, $4,034,000,000. Net reduction in estimates $520,000,000. How was that $520,000,000 cut in estimates accomplished? ‘The Presi- dent simply insisted that the vari- ous Government departments cut their requests for money still fur- ther than they have. Furthermore, certain sums which were falling due this year and which were expected to be paid out of new revenues will’ ‘be deferred. So the analysis of the $520,000,000 reduction in estimates is as follows: Amount by which Government departments will reduce their ap- Propriations $350,000,000. Amount of floating debt deferred, §170,000,000. Total, $20,000,000. The floating debt referred to above to be Classified Advertisers Important!
