Another important factor in connection with any voting record compilation is how members voted in committee. COPE made no such pretense of compiling a record of votes in committees, where the most important decisions in regard to pending legislation are often taken Thus, where COPEs rating yardstick in regard to record votes is 2 per cent of the total during the period covered, it is zero percent of the committee votes cast votes, and by a member of Congress. six-ye- Comment By James W.

Southern Democrats and Republicans almost invariably are in the wrong column. However, little has been said about how there voting records were compiled, or of their Mr. accuracy. On the average, the 19 record votes used by COPE are four years old One vote is more than nine years old. Only two were in 1956, and only one in 1955 Thus, only five, or roughly of the 19 votes used, would be considered as current In one instance, those who compiled COPEs voting record go so confused that they listed school construction as issue No. 11, when the vote had nothing to do with this subject. The bill in question, in the 83rd Congress, was an appropriation bill, which provided funds to operate schools in federal areas.

The President has placed himself squarely behind the tax proposals of the Cabinet Committee on Small Business, which he established last May. Its major recommendation, which the President says will be before the 85th Congress, would reduce from 30 to 20 per cent the normal tax rate on corporate income up to $25,000, but would leave unchanged the 52 per cent rate applying to income in excess of $25,000. The 52 per cent rate was scheduled to a top rate of 47 per cent on April 1, 1954, under the provisions of the Revenue Act of 1951, enacted by the Democrats. The Eisenhower Administration has asked and obtained from Congress three successive extensions of this rate. The 52 per cent tax again is scheduled to drop to 47 per cent next April 1.
