Mellons tax plan aims at large relief and reforms
The House Ways and Means Committee heard Secretary Mellon outline safe income tax cuts including a broad reduction of overall taxes from 250 to 300 million dollars. Proposals span lower normal taxes, reduced surtaxes, elimination of the earned income deduction, repeal of the gift tax, and retention of several minor levies while expanding the tax appeals board. Mellon projected a 200 to 300 million dollar surplus by July 1, 1926, justifying the tax relief.

The French cabinet under Finance Minister Calllaux rejected a temporary arrangement plan for war debt to the United States when formally presented. A semi official note indicated France would submit new proposals to the American debt funding commission through the French ambassador in Washington within days. Critics say Calllaux may have floated an offer not meant to be accepted, aiming to shape terms for parliament.
