Republicans Plan Tax Bill Debate In House Next Thursday
Republican leaders Longworth of Ohio and Snell say the House will take up the Mellon tax bill next Thursday and hold it until disposed or sent to President Coolidge. They discussed broader legislative aims including taxes, emigration, soldier bonus, and related appropriations with hopes to adjourn by June. A 25 percent Mellon surtax is deemed unlikely, aiming for over 26 but under 44 percent as Democrats want. The plan is to address tax issues while using temporary appropriations to cover supply bills, with railroad legislation not yet scheduled.
