Washington, March 6. Elimina
tion of the excess profits and other
t bjcctionable lax, the reduction of
the tax burden and a simplification
I of the tax system are the prospec
tive outstanding features of the rc
! vision of the rc enue law by the Six
ty-seventh congress which President
Harding shortly will convoke in ex
traordinary session. (
To what extent taxation can be
'reduced will depend upon the mar
gin of pjspeclive revenue over
prospective expenditure and such re
financing of government obligations
as may be decided upon.

limises hut killed bv a "nocket veto."
I'and the naval bill which was filibus
tered to death in the senate, ran
above $0,800,000,000. Included in this
total is about S500.UOO.000 for the
postal service paid out of postal re
ceipts. '
Would Be, Surplus.
Tf no other expenditures were to
be made during the fiscal year and
if no funds were to be used -toward
the retirement of the floating debt.
! there probablv would be a surplus of
about Sl.a00,(K)0,000 out ot anticipated
revenue.
The problem confronting congress
is whether this surplus should be
used toward wiping out the floating
debt as was advocated by Former
Setietary of the Treasury Houston,
whether objectionable taxes such as
the excess profits tax should be re
pealed and no substitute provided,
or possible contingencies, including
the enactment of soldiers' bonus
legislation, make, it advisable to im
pose new taxes in place of those
repealed.

appropriations were just made, totals
about $5,350,000,000 on the basis of

Other Sources of Revenue.
Other revenues include $350,000,

der the present tariff law and which
may be increased substantially when
a republican protective tariff is
placed in efrct. postal receipts
amounting to about $500,000,000 and
miscellaneous receipts amounting to
about $500,000,000 more.
Comparison of appropriations with
j revenue expected under revised tax
laws cannot be made with any great
degree of accuracy because of the
; fact that while the appropriations
j partially made at the recent session
apply to the hscal year 1921, the
revenue available during the first
half of that period will be derived
under the present tax law, and that
for the tatter half under the new
