Insurgents Go Over to Re

Fight Expected.
Surtax Rate Is 37 1-2
Washington. Feb. 29 —The new
revenue bill, carrying the Long worth
compromise income and surtax rates,
was finally adopted today by the
house.
Passage of the bill followed quickly
the rejection of the Mellon rates and
the Garner democratic schedule
which previously had been placed in
the measure with the aid of insur
gent republican votes.
The vote on final passage was 408
to 8.
The Insurgents, who were won over
from the democratic plan after many
days of compromise negotiations
voted for the Mil as amended on final
passage, after having helped to eject
the Garner rates.
The bill now will go to the senate,
where an equally, troubled period
awaits It. President t'oolidge, who
has stood staunchly for the Mellon
plan, has not indicated how he will
receive the measure.
Surtax Rate Is 37 1-2 Per Cent
As finally passed, the bill provides
for a maximum surtax of 37 12 per
cent on Incomes of more than $200,
000 and would reduce taxes on small
incomes to 2 per cent. The Mellon
plan called for a 2» per cent maxi
mum surtax on Incomes of 3100.000
and The Gamer schedule was for a 44
per cent surtax on Incomes above
$92,000.
