' WASHINGTON, D. C., June 22. (JP)
-President Coolidge before the
Semi-Annual Budge meeting estimated
the next fiscal year, beginning July 1
will close with a surplus of $1S5,000,
000, and the following year with a
margin of $20,000,000.
He said: “It would be unfortunate
to raise hopes of further tax relief
until we are sure of the state of our
finances. Even providing this justi
y fies it, there is no surety today to
raise such hopes that might encourage
business to anticipate again as it did
last year in a further tax reduction.
This might have a detrimental effect
upon stabilization of the country un
der the present tax law.”
