(Assoelated Press by Naval Radio) WASHINGTON, Feb. 28. Republican leaders agreed with the insurgents today to supplant the tax schedules suggested by Represent tative John E. Garner, Democrat of Texas, with the compromise of Representative Nicholas Longworth, Republican floor leader, of Ohio. This would make the maximum surtax 37 per cent, instead of the 44 per cent carried in the Democratic proposal.

The insurgents offered to accept the 37 per cent surtax in consideration of slight reductions in the tax on normal incomes, and agreed to vote with the rest of the Republicans to eliminate the Democratic schedule from the bill. The house cut in half the 5 per cent tax on automobile tires, parts and accessories. The house also exempted from taxation trucks costing less than $1000 and imposed a rate of 3 per cent on other trucks. Second Attorney Gen eral John A.

Daugherty.

before departing for Chicago, reaffirmed his determination not to resign from the cabinet; refusing even to vacate the post upon the termination of the senate's inquiry, but it was apparent in other quarters, that his retention beyond that time was unlikely.

Feb. 28. Partially corroborating a copyrighted story appearing in the Youngstown, Ohio, Vindicator, William G. Mc-Adoo said his former legal firm in New York had represented the Republic Iron Steel Co. before the treasury department in 1920 for officers and directors of Alexander Baldwin for the coming year: observers point out that this group is not particularly anxious to assist the Democrats in obtaining credit for tax revision, and that they would prefer to make a compromise with the regular Republicans and thus take the credit for forcing the Republicans to accept the higher surtax and lower normal rates.

President Coolidge and Secretary Mellon have not consented to the compromise program, and are not expected to. But there is confidence that the President will sign the bill if the Republicans put through a compromise on 35 or even 37 per cent, rather than delay the entire tax revision Bolshevists shook hands with the Italian Facisti, giving the socialists and communists a "burning lesson In political realism and patriotism."

Many of these accounts, he says, date back as far as 1897 and 1S9S. The reason for this, he continues, is that the tax office has never been given authority to write off dead accounts. As a result, it lias been necessary to carry on the books year after year. and compute the interest in the regular way, in spite of the fact that the territory hasn't a chance of, realizing a cent from any of them.
