p Program Is to Flower
' in Few Weeks
' WASHINGTON, March 17.-(iT)-A
report from the treasury that
first March Income tax collections
were 25 per cent under last year
was folfowed quickly today by
word from - President Roosevelt
that the administration's tax re
vision program could be expected
soon. :
The i chief executive told his
press conference that the' tax
study still was in the fact -finding
stage, but that policy decisions
would be made soon after figures
become available on tax collec
tions through- March 15. These
figures, he added, should be ready
in about, two weeks.
The treasury reported that In
come taxes actually deposited la
the treasury In the first 15 days of
March amounted to lS2,70t,201.
which was about 25 per cent less
than la the sama period last year.
If this percentage held up. for the
rest of the month, the treasury's
income tax receipts for the month
wou'. be considerably larger than
the 1425.000.000 needed to ful
fill budget estimates. In March,
1928. tha treasury collected $712,
000,00s. --
However, officials reported
some evidence that numerous tax
payers paid up earlier In the
month than they did last year and
that the receipts 'at the treasury
might not fairly? Indicate, receipts

collections were net handed to
