TAX SLASH MEASURE IS SIGNED BY PRESIDENT COOLIDGE

222 MILLIONS ARE CUT FROM U. S.REVENUES New Law Reduces Income Rate of Corporations; Ends Auto Levy. EXEMPTIONS ARE UP Statute Is Compromise on Senate and House Views on Subject.. Bp United Press WASHINGTON, May 29.—President Coolidge signed today the tax reduction bill lopping $222,495,000 from next year’s Federal revenues. Major provisions in the measure are: Reduction of the corporation income tax rate from 13 '2 to 12 per cent. Revenue loss, $123,450,000. Repeal of the 3 per cent tax on motor car sales. Revenue loss, $66,000,000. Increase from 75 cents to $3 in exemption on theater admissions. Revenue loss, $17,000,000. Benefit to Corporations Repeal of the cereal beverage tax and reduction of the wine tax. Revenue loss, $1,000,000. Increase from $20,000 to $30,000 in amount on which a 25 per cent credit is allowed for “earned income.” Revenue loss $4,500,000. Increase from $2,000 to $3,000 in exemption granted corporations with incomes of $24,000 or less. Revenue loss, $12,000,000. Tax exemption on club dues up to $25. Revenue loss, $1,000,000. The bill also provides for repeal of the tax on foreign-built yachts and reduction from $6 to $3 for narcotics licenses. The bill does not affect tax rates on individual incomes, adjust surtax rates or provide for publicity on incomes. Signs Compromise Bill The bill as signed by the President was a compromise between the original House measure, carrying a $289,000,000 reduction, and the Senate bill cutting taxes approximately $205,000,000. The Treasury had asked for a cut of only $201,000,000, this figure being based on March 15 tax returns and the resulting estimated surplus. Democrats sought a $325,000,000 cut, and the United States Chamber of Commerce held a $400,000,000 reduction was justified. Secretary of Treasury Mellon engaged in a public dispute with Chamber officials because of this latter estimate. The bill, while fairly close to the Treasury estimate, departed from the Administration tax reduction program, which called for repeal of the estate tax and retention of the motor car excise tax.
