MELLON GIVES NEW
INCOME TAX SCHEDULE.
Incomes of $4,000 and Over
Affected If Proposal Is
Accepted.

Washington. Normal tax rates
would include four brackets instead of
three If congress adopts suggestion
submitted to the house ways and
means committee by Secretary of the
Trerasury Mellon.
The rates proposed are / per cent
on the first $1,000 of taxable income,
per cent on the next $1,000, per
cent on the next $4,000 and per cent
on the amount above $4,000.
Secretary Mellon, in letter to the
committee said that while he did not
wish TO be understood as attempting
TO dictate exact rates, he believed the
1our-bracket schedule would be more
satisfactory than the tLree-bracket ar
rangement, which he first submitted.
The loss in revenue, he explained.
would be about the same under the
new proposal as under the other ar
rangement-namely: loss of $140,-
OOo,oOO the first year and $1O0.0O0,OO0
the second year.
secretary Mellon originally informed
the committee that the $4,000, 900 loss
estimate was based on normal rates
OF per cent for the first $4,000, 8
per cent on the next $4,000 and per
cent above that. Rates In the presen.
law are per cent on the first $4,000,
4 per cent on the next $4,000 and 6
per cent thereafter +
IN the letter, Secretary Mellon quot
eo MS statement made before The COM
mittee on Monday, in which he said
tnat the treasury did not propose
dennite rates. but gave assurance that
the maximum normal and surtax rates
could be reduced 20 per cent without
endangering future revenues.
The government actuary, he ex-
planned, in estimating a loss Of $780,
oOO,OOO in reduction of the combined
maximum to 25 per cent had used two
alternative schedules which yielded
substantially the same revenue. Mr.
Mellon said he desired to substitute
The four-bracket scedule for the one
first submitted.

Senator Walsh, Representing
Colleague, Presents Plea OF
Former AcquittaI

Joint argument on the demurrer,
and plea OF former acquittal filed
by Senator Burton K. Wheeler Of
Montana, to the indictment alleging
that he conspired with others to
defraud the United States govern
ment in connection with oil land
permit applications. was begun to-
day In Criminal Court No. 1. Jus
tice Bailey presiding.
Both sides were allowed four
hours each to present their respec-
tive cases and it Is expected that
the arguments win be finished to-
morrow when Justice Bailey viii
take the matter under advisement.
Senator Walsh of Montana,
Wheeler's senior counsel, in arguing
his clients case, citing numerous
precedents In support of his con-
tentions, claimed . that Senator
Wheeler already had been acquitted
by q jury In Montana of practically
the same charges which figure in
the Indictment found against him
by a grand jury here.
Counsel for the Montana Senator
maintained that since his client had
not even made an appearance be-
fore the Interior Department he
could have had nothing to do with
applications for permits before this
department and consequently could
not be guilty Of the charge that he
had conspired with others to de-
fraud the government in connec-
ton with permit applications.
The government claims in the
Indictment: First, that Gordon
Campbell, an oil promoter, fraudu-
lentIy obtained permits and that
besides using dummies" to-. file
applications for permits, he had to
have the services or cooperation
OF some official In the Interior De-
partment: second, that the person
who provided that necessary CO.
operation was Edwin s. Booth.
former solicitor of the Interior De-
partment, and third. that the man
who made the cooperation of
Booth available to Campbell was
Senator Wheeler.
Besides Senator Walsh, Attorneys
Charles A. Douglas and Arthur
Garfield Hays, OF New York, appear
fur Senator Wheeler.
