...package he will unveil, though already frayed by the persistent chafing of special interests, is still highly ambitious, at least when measured against the cautious norms of political reality. By closing or narrowing a raft of loopholes, it would simplify the tax code and allow reduced rates without loss of revenue to the Treasury. Most taxpayers would shell out less, the President will emphatically advertise, while businesses and the wealthy would be stripped of shelters that now reduce or even eliminate their tax burden. The top rate would drop from 50% to 35%; middle-income taxpayers would...

Already embattled on its budget plans, the Reagan Administration seems determined to wage a simultaneous economic war on an equally contentious front: tax reform. The President is preparing to unveil "Treasury II," a watered-down version of the Treasury Department's reform proposals of last November.

While we do not anticipate that Reagan will unveil a series of liberal reforms in his second term, we would welcome an interpretation of last week's mandate along these lines. If the President uses his strong victory to help forge pragmatic consensuses on major domestic and international issues rather than as an excuse to ignore the views of the minority who opposed him, he can prove wrong those critics who fear a second Reagan term will witness a feeding frenzy for the ideologues on the radical right.
