OPPOSED TO ILZDOCTION.
Secretary Boutwell this morning, In
conversation with leading members of
the Ways and Means Committee, stated
emphatically he was opposed at present
to the reduction of thirty million dollars
to internal revenue taxation. Bethought
■ reduction to that amount might be
made after the Goiernment had
funded 1500,000,000 or 1000,000400 of the
Indebtedness. He was exceedingly anx
ious that 'the' funding-bill reported by
Senator Sherman should be passed as
speedily as possible. He said there was
an shun
i diu4=rioney now In Europe
waltingi 'and - that If the bill
was pawed an early day he bad no
doubt 1500.000.000 or 1600.000,000 could
be fended within the prewar, year.
When that was accomplished a reduction
of 130,000,000 of internal taxes would be
advisable.
