"President and Treasury Not Ready For Tax Cut Size of Estimated Surplus Is Slill too ('iieerlain to Make Horizontal Out at This Turn- Is Klaller of Sound Finance in Their Opinion Hy DAVID L.WVItKNCK (C?trrtl<ll. IW?. It Til* Ad??nc?> Washington, Nov. 28. ? Returning members of Congress are showing a significant curiosity about the chances of an other revision of taxes. And they will find that the1 answer to the queries cannot be given them by the Presi dent or the Secretary of the Treasury. For tax revision 1 depends upon two unknown I factors. One is the business condition of the country a better economic situation meaning increased revenues ? and the other is the spend ing proclivity of Congress it self. The Treasury estimated last time that there would be a sur plus of about I380.000.00U but It actually came to $505,000,000 which goes to show that the for??- ! casts cannot be exact and that a favorable business situation and rigid economy cau change a pre diction materially. Assuming that on the bafiis rt the figures already published there is an indicated surplus of about $70,000,000. This would not be enough to warrant a rec ommendation for a revision of ta\ es. But the experience of the past has taught the Treasury es timates can be exceeded. For this reason some people have gone f-o far as to say there will be a $350.. surplus, notwithstanding th^ cut that has been made by the n? w tax law In the expected receipts. Congress to some extent has it in its power to bring about a sur plus of $350,000,000. Economy in expenditure will do the trick. If a business man wanted to bring about a surplus at the end of a year he not only would cut down his expenses of operation but he would look to Increased revenues by better business methods. The Government and Congress can t Improve economic conditions ex cept by omitting to disturb busi ness and avoiding the imposition of uncertainties In one form or an other. llut Congress can do the other. It can fall to spend large sums and It can even inquire closely Into the estimates of ex penditures made by the executive departments. Presumably the budget director has done all the pruning possible but Congress ban been known to slash appropria tions which emanate from execu tive departments ever since the budget system came Into opera tion. The relationship between another horizontal cut in taxe*. say 25 per cent on Incomes earned this year, and economy in Govern ment expenditure never has been so easy to determine nor so mani fest to the naked eye of the In come tax payer as it Is today. Economy lias always been some thing academic because the tax law has not been well understood and the war upset all standards of expenditures. In the last few years, however, economy has be come of the paramount Issues, nnd the election of President Cool !d go Is attributed by many of hla friends to his efforts to effect econ omies in Government operation. Sentiment among those mem bers of the House and Senate who are here for next week's session Is plainly In favor of another tax cut. The argument that the exec utive branch of the Government has been making; namely, that until after the payments made on arch 15 next, the exact revenue duclng capacity of the present f will not be known Is recog nised as sound but It usually lends to a discussion of what the admin istration will do If there is a sur plus. The sdmlnlstrstlon Insists that It has not closed the door to an extra session but It must see a substantial surplus before It can talk about tax revision. And up. til Congress has wound up Its short session on Msrch 4 nothli.t will he known of the exsct amount of money appropriated for Gov ernment expenditures. The Infor mation needed to confirm the pres ent Judgment of the administra tion or to bring about a change in Its decision will therefore be available about April 1, and the Whole subject of sn extra session 4nd a further lax cut may now be postponed until those figures are available and th* record of Con gress on economy Is definitely made un 4 HONS KH AUK 111 KNKD Ban Diego.
