By HERBERT LITTLE	^ vUJWlnLlKvLl
WASHINGTON”, May 2A—(UP)—A spread of income-taxes to levy upon two and three thousand dollar a year incomes by reducing exemptions was seen here today as the logical fulfillment of the administration views expressed last week by Treasury Secretary Andrew \V. Mellon and I'nder-secretary Ogdon Mills.	as many as possible paying income
Reduction of lhe exemption al lowed to a married man. without dependents, from the present $3,-
taxes.
The regular Republicans, ,»ho have supported all of Mellon’s
500 to the $2,000 allowed from j five tax reduction proposals with-1921 to 1923 would probably In-1 out criticism, are now decidedly crease the number nf individual j in the minority in congress.
taxpayers from around 2,500,000 persons to 4,500,000.
Mills In his speech hinted at the necessity for broadening the base of the tax law; Mellon merely cited disapprovingly that about 380,000 Individuals pay 97 percent of all the money collected from individual income.
STRONG OPPOSITION
Rut if such a proposal comes, it will have strenuous opposition, exemptions have been decreased only once since the income tax was adopted, and the outbreak ot the war made that necessary and prevented political flarebacks.
There are a number of schools of thought on income-taxes In congress, but nearly all of them look on such an increase for the man of small income as politically Inexpedient and a majority apparently believe it economically inadvisable. Chairman Reed Srnoot of the senate finance committee has said he believed It was good for the country to have
MILLIONAIRE’S TAX
And before Ihe adjournment of congress—before the present prospect of an $800,000,000 fiscal year deflclte arose—there were repeal ed murmurs, among the western Independents and some Democrats, for an Increase in the taxes nn millionaires.
Senator James Couzen, Repn., Mich., who has foughl Mellon in season and out for seven years, on political and economic battle, grounds, today said he was studying Mellon’s speech and intended to reply to It formally In a day or two. Couzens once proposed lo exempt all’Incomes of $5,000 or less from tax.
Senator W. E. Borah, Repn., Idaho, who voted in the very small minorities against the last two Mellon tax cuts, said he was studying against the Mellon speech and Intended to say something about It soon. He viewed the recent reductions as chiefly in be ! half of big business.
