C, TUESDAY, MAY 15, 1923 Vol. 27; No. 26 PRICE: $1.50 PER YEAR Ell (I EXCESS OF REVENUES Mr Harding Hasn't Any Real Majority in the Senate, and it is Doubtful How Much Legislation the Administra tion Can Push Through Without a Lot of Trouble. I liy David Lawrence I (Copyright 1!-" ly TUu Daily Times l . Washington, ay 12. Symptoms of what President Harding will lie up against in the next Congress are already visible. II became, known to day that on tlu inside there has been considerable, discussion by the. Pre sident and his associates oC just what should lie done in the way of lax revision al th(! next Congress lie cause ii is obvious there is going 10 be an excess of revenues. Hut ev ery time I lie. subject is mentioned there is a shrug of the shoulders and im expression of puzzled uncertain ly as to what would happen to a reconiineiidation for lax revision if 11 once not into the claws of I he radi cals in I he next Congress. The Republican majority in Hie House and Senate will be slim. Hut if the Kepiiblican parly were har monious any majority however small would bo sullicient to express tile will of the party. Tho trouble is Mr. Harding hasn't any real majority at all in the Senate and the LaFollctte influence, is so strong with a certain group in Hie House that it may well In; doubled how much loglslu liiui Hie administration could push through that body without comproin ising constantly with tho radical ele inens. The desire of (lie administration today is to recommend a reduction in taxes if there is some prospect of getting an agreement, aiming the leaders of tho different groups and factions in Congress. In the. absence of such an understanding, the feel ing is that time would be wasted eying to amend the existing revenue laws al all. The danger, of course is that the radicals will not he sat isfied Willi the reconuneiidal ions of the adniinistral ion hut will wish to go further in reducing taxes or rath er in shifling the burden from one dass of taxpayers to the other, par ticularly imposing u heavier burden on Hie people and corporations of large Income. There has men been lall of revising the excess profits laxes but the administration has no sympathy with tin' proposal and probably any bill uilh thai kind of a 'ax would be vetoed by the Presi dent if it ever got that far. It isn't that the treasury lias any feeling of favoritism for one class as against another, in fact the strongest argu ment which will be made for a re duction of the higher brackets of the surtax will Ins that more income is obtainable by a moderate rale than by a higher rate. This may not be a pleasing circumstance. In a world of attempted equity but that's what happens just Hie same. The evasions that can be practiced to avoid higher surtaxes an; too numerous and loo effective' to give the government the money it feels should he forthcom ing from persons of large income. The radical, however, lias not been willing lo look at matters from that (Continued on Page 0) TAX REVIS ON S BIG SUBJECT FOR NEXT CONGRESS MRS. BRIDGERS' SISTERS KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENT Mrs. F.
