NO IMMEDIATE
CUT IN TAX RATE
VV: hington, D. C.—House Repub
licaii readers definitely turned down
today the request of President Cool
idge for a resolution making effective
immediately the proposed 25 per cent
ieduction in income taxes payable
this year.
Representative Longworth, Republi
can 'leader, late today told Mr. Cool
idge : the parliamentary situation
would not permit action on such a
resolution “before Saturday," when
first installments on taxes must be
paid.
At the same time the revenue bill
passed by the House and containing
provision for the cut in 1923 taxes
was assailed by Secretary Mellon be
fore the Senate finance committee.
The Treasury Secretary insisted it
would bring about a Treasury deficit
of st least $65,000,000 in the fiscal
year 1925.
Preceding the death of the reso
lution proposal, an attack on the
President’s request was made in the
Senate after a suggestion from Sena
tor Reed, Republican, Pennsylvania,
that action on the resolution be in
stituted there. Chairman Smoot re
plied that although the Constiution
specifies only that revenue raising
measures must originate in the
House, a resolution asking a reduc
tion in revenue would undoubtedly
be considered by the House as un
constitutional if action on it were
first taken in the Senate.
Senator Robinson, of Arkansas,
Democratic leader, led the attack on
the proposal, declaring the President’s :
message “comes too late’’ and charg
ed that the excutive merely wanted !
tree hand to veto the revenue !
bill itself. j
M.i Longworth declared the pro- j
postil lead tonight after a conference •
with Republican leaders including |
its advocates who had started an
eleventh hour move to put it in mo-1
tion.
Hull Makes Statement
la a statement tonight, Repiesenta
>ivt Hull, Tennessee, chairman of the
Democratic national committee and a
member of the ways and means com
mittec, declared the appeal of the
i’vc ,'dent came too late.
'.'(t is not unfair to say," Mr. Hull
tted, “that the utterly belated
r-,>, measure of President Coolidge
on y . sten!ay is in harmony with his
i>record of delay when confront*
4 oofier by an Important problem
s»«- un emergency situation.
TVt. statement, of Secretary Mellon
supported a. previous declaration of
mo >fia» Smoot, of the finance com
nftUoc, that the House bill would have
*fr ,i»e revised, to provide for more
. oK". Some Democratic members
at itiv committee also later indicated
thefi -belief that the measure would
huvo I?, contain some higher rates
to prevent a deficit.

31,513,600 HOGS
KILLED LAST YEAR
Would Form Double Line Around
the World at Equator.
A double file of hogs around
the world at the equator and a
single unbroken line from the
north pole to the southern end
of South America is the graphic
picture presented by the depart
ment of agriculture of America's
slaughter of porkers last year.
The department’s statisticians
1 calculate the 81,513,600 hogs kill
' ed for consumption would reach
1 61,770 miles if placed end to end,
allowing four feet for each hog.
The same number, they add, if
1 placed 21 abreast would form a
■ bristling lane from New York to
; San Francisco.

gard to the injunction suit filed

FED. BANK REVIEW j
SHOWS GOOD TIMES
Atlanta. Ga.—Business men here, I
discussing business conditions today, 1 1
point to the accurate diagnosis of the |
situation as made by the Federal ■
Reserve Bank of Atlanta in Its month ;
ly business review. There has not i
been any material change in funda
mental conditions during the last;
month, as stated in the bank reyiew. ;
Trade is holding up, both retail and .
wholesale lines. It is better, by far, j
than it was the same month one
year ago.
Money matters with the average I
individual are, apparently, on a good
basis, especially among the class
who may be listed as savings bank
depositors. The federal bank, con
solidating its reports from member
banks in Georgia, Alabama, Florida,
Mississippi, Tennessee and Louisiana,
show that savings deposits were
. nearly 8 per cent higher at the end
of January than at the same time
last year. The thrift habit is grow- 1
ing.
Another thing; demand deposits
of member banks were slightly high
er while loans and discounts expe
rienced a decline. Cash reserves of
the federal bank increased materially
between the middle of January and
the middle of February, while notes
in circulation and bills discounted i
show a decrease.
Production of basis commodities I
throughout the United States, as re
ported to the federal reserve bank
here by the federal board at Wash
ington increased sharply in January,
the volume of distribution continued
larger than a year ago, and the
wholesale price level remained un
changed. In February there was an
increase in the demand for credit !
for commercial purposes.
