INCREASE TAXES
SUGGESTS M'ADOO
Secretary OF Treasury Would Meet De
tense Program Expense With
Internal Revenue.

Washington, Nov. 26,--Cost of the
administration defense program for
the first year would be met by an in
crease in internal taxation il congress
gives its approval to Secretary Nc
Adoo's suggestion.
In a formal announcement Mr. Nc
Adoo declared his belief that an in
creased tax levy was preferable to a
bond issue, adding that it could easily
be borne by the American people. He
would raise the necessary revenue by
lowering income tax exemptions, and
assess various commodities.
The statement was issued in con-
nection with an estimate Of the fed
eral governments revenues and ex-
penditures up to the close of the next
fiscal year. He places the amount of
additional revenue required for the ex-
penditure for 1917 at Sill, 1894, in
Guiding $93.8o0,o0o for new measures
for national defense This estimate is
based on the assumption that congress
will continue in effect the present
emergency tax law and customs duty
on sugar.
1t is explained that while proposed
army and navy appropriations in 1917
would represent an increase for pre-
paredness considerably in excess oil
s93 900 900, a part Of the expenditures
authorized actually would not be spent
during that year but would cover an
increase for which additional revenues
must be found by the next congress.
If congress approves Of Secretary
McAdoo's proposals, the income tax ex-
emption on single persons would be
reduced from $4,000 to $4,000 and on
married persons from $4,000 TO $4,000
the war tax on incomes above $4,000
would be lowered to $4,000 or $4,000
and new taxes would be imposed on
numerous articles. including gasoline
crude and refined oils, horsepower OF
automobiles and other internal COM
bustion engines.

London Paper Advises People to Not

London, Nov. IS, (2:42 p. m.)-The
Pail Mall Gazette, recalling the as
surances given by Elutherios Venize-
los. the Grecian ex-premier, and the
way they were nulifed by King Con-
stantine's actions, regards present
Greek assurances with skepticism and
declares that the promise of Premier
Skouloudis and his colleagues, what
ever shape they may assume. are not
to be taken too seriously.
What has been secured apparently
by the gentle pinch Of four days arrest
of Greek shipping" he newspaper
says, lis the assurance that Greece
will not be quite as treaeherous as
words which certain of her ministers
might have implied. That the Greek
army is to remain modified will pre-
vent any sure sense of safety on the
