Republicans barter on tax bills as insurgents flip sides
Washington reports regular Republican leaders bargaining with insurgents over income tax plans. A new compromise offers two and six per cent normal taxes and 37 per cent maximum surtax, while insurgents proposed two and four normal taxes and 40 per cent surtax.

Longworth warns treasury effects, noting 20 million lost receipts and a potential 300 million deficit with wider two four per cent normals. Seventeen insurgent Republicans, one Farmer-Laborite and one independent shifted to Democrats. leaders seek nine or ten back to Mellon. Green says no passage before next Tuesday.
