Coolidge Inclined to Liberal Tax Stance on Plan
Washington February 11 President Coolidge signals a liberal attitude toward tax reduction in discussions reported to House Ways and Means. Secretary Slemp informs Rep Davey that the President will not commit before details of the form of legislation are known. The Mellon plan, and a 25 percent cut in 1923 taxes, is under report. Republicans see slim chances for a 23 percent surtax, favoring a compromise rate around 44 percent to avoid separate votes on original rates. A Democratic caucus is planned to push a unity tax-cut position.
