Ml TAX
CUT IS G. 0. P. AIM
Senate Leaders Plan to Off
set Conceded Repeal of
Aufo Impost.
Ry thp Associated Press
Conceding repeal of the automobile
tax by the Senate finance committee
when it takes up rate schedules m the
j House revenue bill Tuesday. Senate ad
ministration leaders planned yesterday
to offset this loss by less of a cut in
the corporation levy than counted on to
keep within bounds of the Treasury
limitation of $200,000,000.
Repeal of the 3 per cent automobile
tax was strongly opposed by Secretary
Mellon, but despite his plea to the com
mittee. Chairman Smoot, leader of the
administration forces, believed today
there had been sufficient defections in
the ranks of Republicans on the com
mittee to defeat the Treasury on this
point.
The auto tax involves $66,000,000. If
this loss is to be offset Senator Smoot
indicated his belief that the Republican
group would favor a slash of only 1
per cent in the corporation tax to 12
per cent rather than the 1 a per cent
cut previously agreed to. This would
lower the reduction $41,000,000.
Democrats meanwhile are standing
firm for their $300,000,000 program,
which includes not only repeal of the
automobile tax. but a reduction in the
corporation levy to at least ll » 2 per
cent as voted by the House, or even 11
per cent. Senator Simmons of North
Carolina, ranking Democrat on the
committee, announced today he would
put his program before the committee
Tuesday
The Republicans have a 11-to-9 ma
jority on the committee, however, and
are expected to stand together for a
reduction pretty close to the $200,000.-
000 set by Mr Mellon and endorsed by
President Coolidge This will throw the
real fight to the floor of the Senate,
where the Republican majority on paper
j is only one.
There were indications from Repub
lican ranks that the committee would
1 vote to increase exemptions on theater
, admissions from 75 cents to $3. The
House voted to increase the exemption
! to $1 and this would mean an addition
al $8,000,000 cut beyond the House bill
The Democratic program calls for
repeal of this tax and the tax on club
dues as well as for the wiping out of
other war-time levies on particular
j business. The House has voted repeal of
the auto tax and if the Senate concurs,
that issue, at least, is settled.
Ice hockey has just been introduced
into Finland, and lovers of sports are
takfhg to it.
