My position to as follows:

1 am in hearty sympathy with tha Mellon Tax Reduction or any other equitable tax reduction plan which' will take advantage of the present surplus that a wise administration of! the budget has made possible and will thus return it to the taxpayers. In fact, I would go further and tilminate the 960,000.000 annual deficit,

every effort to give any otha rial legislation priority over
