Mellon Warns Against Deficit Tax Cut Debate Shifts to Senate
Secretary of the Treasury warned senators that moving to enact immediately a 25 percent income tax reduction would create a Treasury deficit of at least 35 million dollars in fiscal year 1926. House Republicans, led by Representative Longworth, rejected President Coolidge’s request, saying action would come too late as first payments are due Saturday. A Senate debate followed with Democratic and Republican leaders arguing constitutional and timing issues over the Revenue bill and the administration’s proposed cut.
