taxable Income, from four per cent to
three per cent on the next $4000 nnd
from 6 per cent to 5 por cent on tax
able Income in excess of $HO00.
The committee also voted to extend
the $400 exemption for dependents to
upply to children who are in school
up to 21 years of age.- The present
limit Is 18 years in all classes.
The increase In personal exemptions
was estimated to remove more than
1,000,000 persons from tlio income tax
rolls. .
The total reduction approved fn
theHe rates was placed at $200,000,000.
Secretary Mellon lind recommended a
reduction of about St 40.000,000 in the

The 40 per cunt maximum surtax
iraie now uppnes on incomes in excoss
uf $200,000, hut the 20 per cent maxi
mum set by the commlttpe would
apply over $100,000. The graduated

The committee, of which J. Walter

today that the pOHHlbllltles which H
Hcea for tho development of commer

be realized only through a definite

lack of thia and of a definite legal

causefl for Its failure to keep puce

In addition to Kh function of regu

The provision of essential air nav

to be a "public, responsibility.'

Government aid Is sought to take

"unwise nnd unnecessary.
Jn this connection, it declared the
subsidies granted by Kurnpenn gov

industry.
In the legislation to Create the pro
