Mellon Bill Cannot Pass as Written (». O. P. Leaders Admit, for First Time, Rate's of Re duction, Particularly on Surtaxes, Must Be Changed. But Coolidge Stands Pat p By International >'eni Service. Washington, Jan. 12.—Republican leaders in congress publicly admitted tonight for the first time that the Mellon reduction bill could not be passed as written, and that the rates of reduction particularly on surtaxes, which Mellon prescribed, would have to be altered materially. Coming on the heels of the White House announcement of last week that President Coolidge Is uncom promisingly opposed to any exten sive tinkering with the rates propos ed by the secretary of the treasury, this admission of the republican leaders tonight was diseoncertlrg to friends of the Mellon plan. It appeared tonight, from state ments by both republican and demo cratic leaders, that the surtaxes pro posed by Mellon will have to be ad vanced materially beyond the 25 per cent maximum before either house or senate will agree. “We are considering the Mellon bill as a suggestion to the ways and means committee,” said Representa tive Nick Longworth, republican leader of the house. No Arbitrary Programs. "Congress will ret no one write for it tax or tariff legislation. Con gress is jealous of this prerogative and the administration branch of the government cannot -expect to -uhmit arbitrary programs. "Last year the house voted a maxi mum surtax of 32 per cent and this i ate was increased by the senate to 30 |wr cent. I do not think this house would vote a lower maximum surtax. I would like to sea the sur tax maximum • placed at that partlc ular point where' capital will not seek tax-free Investment. I do not knew that point. I do not believe anyone does. "AH tax and tariff legislation Is by rompromlse. and so far as I'm con erned I do not understand that President Coolidge has stated he would accept no change In the Mellon lax reduction suggestions.” Representative Green, republican . of Iowa, chairman of the ways and means committee, agreed with Long worth that a compromise would have to be worked out. For People Generally. "But I am more concerned with bringing out a bill that will meet the approval of the republicans In con gress and the people generally than In getting one that will meet the ap proval of the democrat members of the house.” said Green. "The demo crats already have made some con cessions In their surtax rates and I think It qui(e likely others will be forthcoming. “The republican members of the ways and means committee are dis posed to receive any overtures that are consistent with their position." The committee today completed consideration of the purely adminis trative features of the Mellon bill, and is ready to tackle the question of rates on Monday, which will mark the real beginning of the tax fight In the 68th congress. There will be approximately a solid month of hearings, consideration of amend ments and proposed changes in the t rates Mellon Jias prescribed. Douglas County Road Builders to Get Paid Lincoln.
