WASHINGTON, Jan. 13-The
administrations program for levying
nearly $1,000, 100000 of added taxes,
in an emergency effort to balance
the national budget, was laid be-
fore the house ways and means COM
mittee today by Secretary of Treas
ury Mellon.
Mellon was the first witness called
by the committee, as it began hear
ings on its unwelcome task of draft
ing a bill to impose new and higher
taxes on the natoin.
The secretary, following out his
earlier recommendation to con-
gress, advocated q return to the
income tax rates of 1924 and the
imposition of new special taxes on
automobiles, theater tickets, tele-
phone and Geographic messages,
stamps and other items.
Figures Additional Yield
For the fiscal year beginning next
July, Mellon estimated the increased
and new taxes he proposed would
yield additional revenue as fol-
lows:

In addition surfaces, ranging up
to 81 per cent, would be levied on
incomes from $4,000 to 5000 900. On
incomes of more than $500O00, the
tax would reach a minimum of 40
per cent.
THE proposed revisions would
bring back into the taxpaying group
some 100000" Secretary Mellon
said. Even so, our income tax law
would still remain tax paid by
relatively few individuals. There
would be only some 100000 federal
taxpayers in nation of 10000 900
people, and Of this number less than
100000 would contribute 80 per cent
of the tax"
The secretary emphasized the adj
visibility of balancing the budget in
the next fiscal year. He estimated
the treasury deficit for the fiscal
year ending June 80 at 81, 12S, 600, 900,
and said this would cause an in
crease of $l,500,000,000 in the public
debt.
Economy Imperative
But co-incident with tax in
CreaSes, there must be real economy
in government expenditures, Mellon
warned.
1--WE are only justified in making
this call If at the same time we
eliminate every unnecessary eXpen-
diture. and see to it that just as
enforced rigid economy prevails in
every home in the land, so must
it be observed in every operation
of the federal government" the sec
rotary said.
In addition to raising the tax on
larger incomes, it is imperative to
draft a new army of federal tax
payers, he held.

The proposed income tax schedule
would require payments by all single
individuals earning more than 1000,
and by all married persons with an
income over $4,000. An additional

On the first $4,000 of taxable in

NEW MAGAZINE CRACKS SAINT ANDY"

Common Sense, the semi-monthly magazine published
by Alfred M. Bingham, radical editor son Of Connect
cuts conservative U. S. senator, has caused widespread
comment by its first number which appeared on news
stands Dec. l.
Featuring Mr.. Melons Pittsburgh by Walter w. Lig-
gett, the front cover shows a cartoon of Saint Andy play
ing a harp above g~rafters, gunner and hungry unem-
ployed. A. j. Music has an article, Capitalism in the Raw
Is Seldom Mild. Stuart Chase lists nine problems of the
Economy Of Abundance. James Rorty has his say on
Advertising, Americas Narcotic-the magazine not
planning to get any advertising. Robert S. Allen, one
of the authors of Washington Merry-Go-Round, has an
article on Back Stage Washington. John Dos Passos
tells Of the boos for Morris Hillqut on page %, and
Morris Hillquit has an article on page %.
The name, Common Sense, is taken from Tom Paine's
pamphlet appeal for revolution, the lead editorial indi-
Gates, and the tone of the magazine is set somewhat by
the first editorial caption, 1776-1932.
rs it common sense to hold fast to our WORKOUT form
of government when machines have changed the very
basis of our life" the editorial asks. I'm 1776 Thomas
Paine wrote a pamphlet called Common Sense pointing
out the absurdity Of clnging to a useless foreign king
and a decayed feudal tyranny. The Americans of that
day were not afraid to strike out boldly for freedom.
Today Americans are under a more stupid tyranny than
their ancestors. We will expose the stupidity and cor
ruption of our present rulers"

party, much more closely than in other European coun-
tries, and the party rather than the union group is DOM
inant. The long depression has served to strengthen the
party at the expense of the overwhelmingly ac-
cording to some.
'The strength of the labor movement in Austria is
helped by three main factors: (D Vienna is the only
important industrial center so that the differences which
arise between Hamburg and Berlin in Germany, for in
stance, do not bother us. Our movement is much helped
by the fact that SO large a proportion of the membership
live close together. (2) Shrewd political leadership by
the party adjusts the demands and programs to the
mood of the membership, so that a swing to more radical
thought is promptly met by more radical slogans. (3)
The Socialist movement is largely non-Teligious and takes
the place of religion with the workers. The enthusiasm
and emotion of a religion goes into the movement, aided
by the fact that several of the leaders are tremendously
popular"
Asked whether the Socialists would socialize industry
if they won power in the nation as they have in Vienna,
he answered that they would not. "Our industry needs
foreign capital. If it were socialized it could not get
that capital" he explained.
He described the period from 1918 to 1922 when infla-
ton carried the crown, unit of Austrian currency, to
.114,400 of its former value and the crash which fol
lowed. Then the schilling was established, based on a
loan of the League of Nations, and Austria has been in
a steadily worsening depression ever since. "We have
been obliged to extend the terms of our unemployment
insuranc to meet the need, he said. people have been
getting benefits for years and the problem has arisen
as to how long the benefits can be paid"

SOCIALIST GAIN IN PENNSYLVANIA

The state office Of the Socialist party of Pennsylvania
has announced that the Socialist vote in this working
class populated state has increased on the average about
800 per cent over that of 1923.
Sarah Limbach, state secretary, declared that on the
basis of figures at hand, the distinctly working class sec
tons of the state showed a proportion of increase that if
carried throughout the nation would have given the
Socialist ticket the two to three million votes estimated
in the straw polls.
The great steel district in and around Pittsburgh in
creased the Socialist vote for Norman Thomas nearly
nine times, from / 700 to over $4,000, with the Socialist
opponent of James j. Davis for u. S. Senator running
far ahead to around 10000. Along the steel and coal
valley of the Allegheny where the Allegheny Steel
Company openly demanded that their employees vote for
Hoover, the Socialist party carried on its most intensive
campaign and reaped around Is per cent of the total
vote, carrying one township over both Republican and
Democratic parties. All this was in spite Of the fact that
hatred of Hoover and his sidekick, Andy Mellon, Pitts
burgh's chief landlord and employer, carried the home
town of the Melons for Roosevelt.
New Castle and Lawrence county district generally,
in spite of the domination Of the U. S. Steel tin plate
mills, increased their Socialist vote 1000 per cent. In the
anthracite coal counties of eastern Pennsylvania the So
cialist increase ran for 500 per cent in Northumberland
to an amount 27 times the 1928 vote in the Scranton
district. The soft coal counties, whose vote was the
backbone of Socialist support in its weakest years, did
not as a result show such a startling proportion Of in
crease, running 300 to 500 per cent.

How many voters here know the names of the seven

seven, who they are, where they reside and what
qualifications they possess for that high office,
equivalent in this state to the office of Lieutenant
