Unanl mous consent was reached today by the conferees on the tax reduction bill. The Simmons domestic Income rate schedule providing for a 5 per cent reduction In normal taxes on incomes under $8,000 was accepted. Senate amendments providing for full publicity for tax returns and a tax on undistributed corporation profits were rejected. Hope was expressed by senate re publican organization leaders that the bill as now framed would meet .the approval of President Coolidge, np nas aeciared opposition to both the publicity and corporation propo sals, which were eliminated. The house provisions for a 40 per cent increase in existing tax rates and for the Imposition of a gift tax with rates similar to the estate tax rates were accepted.

Chairman Smoot of the senate fi nance committee estimated the bill went $1,000,000 between the treas ury surplus available for tax reduc tion. This did not take into account the cost of the bonus bill, which it has been estimated will require an ap propriation of $150,000,000 for the next fiscal year or other pending I measures calling for special appro prlatlons.
