To Push Legislative Affairs During Next Congress Special arrangements are being made at the national headquarters of the Mo¬ tion Picture Theatre Owners of Amer¬ ica to give detail attention to legisla¬ tive affairs in Washington during the coming session of Congress and in dif¬ ferent states where legislative sessions will be held. The great majority of states do not have sessions in even numbered years and the work in this relation will be con¬ fined to about half a dozen states this year. President R. F. Woodhull has ar¬ ranged to maintain the closest possible touch with state and regional organiza¬ tions and maintain in every way the strength and standing of the same to care for those law-making situations. The revenue proposition at Washing¬ ton in December will be somewhat com¬ plicated in view of the difference of opinion concerning the reductions to be made. There is a treasury surplus of something like $600,000,000 a year. The administration program as an¬ nounced by Chairman Smoot of the Senate Finance Committee and approv¬ ed bv President Coolidge is a $300,000,000 tax reduction. Senator Pat Harrison wants the re¬ duction to approximate $500,000,000. There is a big difference there and while both estimates include the taking off of admission taxes and certain cor¬ poration tax reductions in which thea¬ tre owners are interested, there is a danger of being injured in a shuffle be¬ tween rival political interests unless the situation is carefully watched.
