HOOVER SIGHTS 3-YEAR DEFICIT
 FACING NATION
Two Year Tax Increase
 Affecting Entire Popu-
 lation Recommended WARNS AGAINST RAIDS ON FEDERAL TREASURY
Tells Congress There Must Be No Increase Tn Drain
 on Treasury

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 9.-In his third annual bud get m e S sage to Congress, President Hoover today rec commended that the general tax schedules of 1924 be sub- stituted for current rates for a two-year period beginning July 1, 1892, and ending June 30, 1884. This would raise all of the existing rates and, the President said, would meet the temporary economic en- ergency that now exists. MT Hoover reviewed the deficit for the Government that occurred in 1881, that foreseen for the pres ent year, and for 1883. He urged greater economy in appropriations and warned against raids on the national treasury.
 Necessary For Confidence
 We cannot maintain public con- fidence nor the stability of the Federal Government without un- dertaking some temporary tax in- creases for the fisca lyear of 1933". he told Congress.
 For the fiscal year of 1883, be- ginning next July 1, he estimated S. .492, ,754,614 would be needed to run the Government. The appro- priations for this year were $502,- 271 ,920 more than that sum.
 The President concluded with an emphatic warning against Con- gressional, private or organization activities towards any increase "in the drain upon public finances"
 The tremendous deficit figure was arrived at by adding the un- favorable balance for the past year, to the one expected this year, es- timated at $2,123 ,OOO, ,000, and that estimated for 1883, $1,417, ,000, 900. The deficit for 1921 was in ex- cess of $500, 100000 making the to- tai prospective deficit to June 30, 1893, fore than $4,400,00o, 900.
 Mellon To Plan Tax He left the submission of the ad- ministrations detailed tax plan in the hands of Secretary Mellon, contenting himself with general suggestion on the advisability of adopting the 1924 schedules.
 Balancing the budget for the present year being out of the ques- ton, T recommend that Congress provide for an increase of taxation for a definitely limited period upon the general plan which existed un- der the Revenue Act of 1924, with such changes as may be appropri- ate in the light of altered condi- tions which may be terminated two years from next July l." MT. Hoo- yer wrote.
 This plan, it is estimated. will realize an additional $920, ,000, 900, thus meeting the above conditions of balancing the budget in the year ending June 30, 1933. except for
