Tax cuts debated as Treasury outlines plan to trim federal taxes
Government finances are praised as leaders clash over tax slash size. Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon presents a plan to cut next year's taxpayer bill by 225 million, with five main reductions proposed including lower corporate taxes, allowing small corporations to file as partnerships, cutting middle income rates, repealing the estate tax, and exemptions on bankers acceptances. Democrats and the Chamber of Commerce argue for a larger 400 million cut, saying surplus justifies deeper elimination of excise taxes and auto and admission taxes. Leaders foresee substantial federal tax relief as the nation retires war era obligations and 4.25 percent Second Liberty Bonds becomes due November 15.
