Washington, June 13 (By As sociated Press) The subject of federal tax revision is gaining in creasing momentum, calculated to lead to some action by the next congress. Senator Oscar W. Underwood, who helped write the first income tax Jaw, in an address in Mont gomery, Ala., last night declared for a flat two per cent Income tax, and a maximum surtax of 13 per cent the pre-war figures. President Coolldge has formed some Ideas on the subject and be lieves a considerable reduction in the tax load could be effected by eliminating the federal levy on in heritances. In this respect he agrees with Senator Reed Smoot, of Utah, chairman of the senate finance committee who has pre dicted that the next congress will make an effort toward lowering taxes.
