TAX CUT PROPOSAL
IS GIVEN CONGRESS
BY TREASURY CHIEF
Statement Predicts Prosper
ity in 1880 After "HighIy
Satisfactory" Year.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
Secretary Mellon placed a tax reduc-
ton plan formally before Congress to-
day along with a statement that busi-
ness was good in 1929 and promised to
be good in 1880. 5
Citing q surplus Of Treasury receipts
over expenditures Of $l84,000, 900 for
the fiscal year ended last June 80, and
estimating $225 .0oO, 900 would be avail
able for the IL months ending next
June 80 and $122 1000, 900 for 1881, he
suggested the following rate changes:
A reduction on normal incomes and
corporation incomes of per cent, max
ing the levy on individual incomes u
per cent on the first 1000, 2 per cent on
the next $4,000 and per cent on all
above that figure, with drop from IL
to IL per cent on corporations. Mr..
Mellon said the lowering of the tax on
corporations would benefit the largest
number Of persons. These business or
ganizations, he said, were overtaxed In
comparison with individuals.
The Secretary emphasized his known
views in making his recommendations.
These included one which he had pre-
viously made informally, that Congress
adopt a flexible provision for the tax
law which would enable the Govern
ment to lower or raise taxes as the con-
dition of the Treasury finances war
ranted.
Incomes Show Gains.
Speaking of the surpluses, the Secre-
tary said the excess of receipts was
due to a great increase in individual
income, which in 1928 showed a gain
of $4,000, ,000, 900 in profits from sale of
capital assets, due to trading on the
stock market. It was dificult to de-
termine, he said, what effect 1.-The pre-
cipitous decline of security values
would have on security transactions,
which unquestionably yielded a very
large income in 1928 and the first eight
months of the calendar year 1929"
Most of the Secretary's annual report
containing his recommendations, dealt
with conditions which governed before
the recent stock market plunge, but 1t
contained no note of pessimism for the
future. AS to last year. he said busi-
ness enjoyed highly satisfactory
year.
Because the indicated surplus in the
fiscal year 1880 might be of the tempo
rary variety, he urged Congress to make
the tax reduction through resolution, sc
that while it would give the taxpayers
the benefit Of the prosperous year. anc
could be retained next year II found
warranted, it would permit the return
of the present rates without any fur.

TWO NEW JUSTICES
PROVIDED BY BILL
Senator Capper Acts to Re-
lieve Congestion in Dis
trict Courts.

Moving promptly to support the plea
of President Hoover for improvement
Of law enforcement conditions in the
National Capital, Chairman Capper of
the Senate District committee today in
troduced a bill to provide for appoint
ment of two additional justices on the
bench of the District Supreme Court.
Senator Capper said the statement of
the President in his annual message
regarding congestion in the criminal
courts of the District strikes the heart
of many of our troubles" The Senator
expressed confidence that Congress
would pass this measure without delay.
I'm his message to Congress yester-
day." Senator Capper said today,
President Hoover made a statement Of
vital significance to the District Of CO.
lumbia. He said:
while conditions here are better
than in many other cities, they are
far from perfect, and this is due in
part to the congestion of criminal cases
in the Supreme Court of the District,
resulting in long delays
Ally Of Criminal.
"In my opinion, that statement
strikes to the heart of many Of our
troubles. The congested docket Is the
criminals most potent ally. It operates
also against the innocent, denying them
an opportunity to clear their names by
open trial. 1t is our most serious draw
back to effective law enforcement
Crime laughs at clogged courts.

hension the grave statements that the

"I never stole an election"
1t was the voice and speech of
William s. Ware, Senator elect of
Pennsylvania, raised dramatically
in his own defense in the Senate
chamber today.
The Republican boss of Phila-
delphfa had come at last, despite
the fact of his weakened health,
following a stroke of paralysis, to
fight for the Senate seat to which
he was elected in 1926.

came forth strongly when he wished to
lay particular emphasis upon his ar
gument.
His audience marveled at his cour-
age. In spite of the fact that Mr..
Ware knew 1t had been demonstrated
that q majority of the Senate was
hostile to him, he took the risk to his
health OF making this last stand fight.
Mr.. Wares right to be seated in the
senate has been attacked on the
ground that his election was tainted
with corruption and followed the ex-
cessive expenditure of money in his
ton.
Mr. Ware denied fatty there had been
corruption or that the money expended
for him had been excessive.

Mr.. Ware marshaled his arguments
In orderly fashion. He made q strong

For Is years I've sat as member
of the lower house of Congress. There
never was a reflection on my character
or the service rendered to my country
