WASHINGTON. July of the burden of flood control and tax legislation, two leading senators of opposite political alignments feel President Coolidge should call Congress into extra session. The Senators, Smoot, Republican of Utah, and Harrison, Democrat, Mississippi, both believe the move is essential SO Congress can get under way the complicated and lengthy task of enacting the tax bill earlier than usual and then turn to the important of Mississippi river flood control." The Mississippian declared the extra session should commence October 1, while Smoot, who has just returned from a call upon the President in the Black Hills, the earlier assembly between October 15 and November 1. While concurring in the view that the tax bill should precede all other legislation tasks, the two Senators disagreed on the amount of tax reduction. Smoot, who is chairman of the Senate finance committee, declared the reduction should reach $300,000,000 and become effective by March 15, before the next tax returns are filed.

Senators Harrison proposed a cut of 000 with reductions including the lopping off of corporation levies and surtaxes on medium-sized incomes. The Mississippian contended that Smoot's reduction was the same as that proposed by the Democrats in the last session. Both Smoot and Harrison held the flood control problem was a paramount task of the coming session. The Utah Senator said he favored a system of spillways with reservoirs. While Harrison did not outline his views on the flood measures, he declared that he regarded this legislation as the outstanding task of the session.

In his analysis of the tax legislation, Senator Harrison said the tax on the corporations should be reduced if the treasury surplus will bear it, and that first consideration should be given to reduction of the surtaxes on incomes between $24,000 and $64,000.
