RUMORS MELLON WILL QUIT 100, BUZZ AT CAPITAL Say Passage of Tax Bill Will Be Last Straw for Secretary, By l nitrd Press WASHINGTON, May 23—Resignation of Secretary of the Treasury Mellon was seen as possible in congressional quarters today as result of the determination of Congress to enact tin- compromise tax bill. The bill was formally laid before the Senate today by Senator Smoot of Utah, chairman of the Finance Committee and at his request, voting on it was deferred until tomorrow. Provision in the hill for limited publicity of tax records is expected to be the main argument of those who will urge a veto of the measure on President Coolidge. Pivot for Attack Casting aside all other arguments against the measure, such as the deficit in national revenues it was expected to incur and its alleged | ''sole, tific" estate and inheritance tax schedules, the clause which permits the amounts of taxes paid by individuals to he made public ns well as names and addresses is being made the pivotal point of attack on the hill. While talk of a veto by the Presi dent Is heard. based largely on the theory that the publicity provision, even as modified, is still ex tremely distasteful to him, confl deuce Is felt by Raptfblicapa that he will sign it. ( an Pass it Over Veto Even should he veto it. belief Is gaining ground that it can be passed over his veto, because of the swelllng enthusiasm for the measure as finally drawn by the conferees. Speculation as to Mellon's pos sible resignation is based on the repudiation of his tax reduction program by Congress and the belief that the bill will become a law, either by signature of passage over a veto. * There has been talk in the Senate cloakrooms for ten days that Mellon Is “sick” of politjes and his position. Certainly Senators who claim to know Mellon's feeling, say that he Is anxious to return to his many business interests which have been neglected during his term of office. Will Be Last Straw If the President should refuse to sign a bill or if Congress should pass over his veto a bill which departs so far from the MeHon theory of taxation, Senators believe it would be "the last straw” and open the way for Mellon’s resignation.

FIGHT FOR STATE BERTH RESUMED Oscar Smith May File Suit to Oust Ratts, Speculation on the Ratts-Smith controversy over a place on the public service commission received fresh impetus today. Oscar B.

It is believed Smith refrained from instituting suit to drive Ratts out because he had hopes of getting the nomination. Now Smith may resort to quo warranto proceedings.
