REFUNDS ARE DEFENDED IN FACE OF CRITICISM Reiterates Sympathy Toward Fur- ther Cuts on Earned Income Levies in Radio Address. Declaring the year 1928 set a “new Tecord for prosperity” under the present policies of the Government, Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, who has been guiding the financial destinies ofethe United States under three Presidents, predicted last night that continuance of these traditional policies eventually would lead to elimination of the public debt and & “very great reduction in taxes.” ' In a radio address for the National Radio Forum, under auspices of The Star, through Station WMAL and the coast-to-coast network of the Columbia Broadcasting System, Secretary Mellon vigorously defended the Treasury policy ; on tax refunds, reiterated his sympathy toward further reductions in taxes on earned income, and declared such re- ductions should be made whenevef “revenues justify such action.” Mr. Mellon replied to ‘“responsible public officials,” who, he said, had at- tempted to discredit the record of the Treasury on tax refunds because occa- sionally a refund of several million dol- lars had been made to a single tax- payer. Since 1917, the Secretary said, less than $1,000,000,000, or only 213.per cent of the amount collected, had been Teturned. Taxpayers were assured by the Secre- tary that the recent regulations on publicity of tax refunds would not make public the income tax returns of the people to “competitors, idly curious, the solicitors of contributions and unscrupu- lous practitioners seeking out possible Juture clients.” Explains Treasury Policies. Speaking in direct and simple lan- guage to his listeners throughout the country, he explained the fundamental Trecedentad. prosperity of the United recedented p! of i States is proceeding. He ‘xaehhd the efforts to keep expenditures within reve- nues, to reduce the public debt, to levy the lowest taxes consistent with the Government needs and to support pub- lic credit so that the financial integrity. of the Goyernment “shall be a rock amidst the Tuctuations of internal and ‘world ce.” Secretary Mellon’s address opened a series of messages to the American peo- ple from members of President Hoover's cabinet, over the National Radio Forum, ton Evening newly established studio of The Evening Star, located on the fourth floor of The Star Building. ‘The address was the first to be cast from this studio, which will be used for succeeding cabinet officers’ addresses, other features of the forum, and Evening Star broadcasts. In his discussion of future possible tax reduction Mr. Mellon made no ref- erence to any specific time when he thought Congress might proceed to further tax revision, except the indefi- nite prediction “whenever revenues Justify such actiofi.” Can Expect Tax Reduction. Pointing to the fact that the public debt had been reduced to manageable ! proportions so-that about $300,000,000 a year was saved in interest charges, the Secretary said, “eventually, as the debt is paid off entirely, this drain on our revenues will be removed, and we can look forward then to a very great reduction in taxes.” Mr. Mellon reported that more than 2,000,000 individuals in the lowest brackets had been relieved of all Fed- eral income taxes, and moderate rates had succeeded ‘“excessive ones” all along the line. “Productive business, by being Te- lieved of oppressive rates,” said Secre- tary Mellon, “has found it possible to expand in an orderly manner. As a result, prosperity has become more gen- eral; the national income has increased; and during the year 1928, which set a new record for prosperity, the Govern- ment received revenues adequate for its needs, even with lower rates and fewer yers. in the right direc- is further reductions on earned incomes,” the Secretary said he still was in favor of such reductions, and that he had recommended it to Congress as long ago as November, 1923. b ury is still of this opinion,” he said, “and will be glad to see these Tells of Tax Administration. in administration of the tax £ A i ; {HE] e it i SPURNED NEARLY $200,000 TO PROTECT Retiring Police Head Tells of Repeated Bids for Special Favors. BARES LIFE THREATS Major Owns Neither Car Nor Home; Wears Suit 4 Years, BY JAMES E. CHINN. ‘Through indirect channels Washing- ton's bootleggers, gamblers and other law violators offered Maj. Edwin B. Hesse, retiring superintendent of police, during his three-year administration of the Police Department, thousands of dollars in bribes, enough to establish his financial independence for life. Maj. Hesse made this startling revela- tion yesterday afternoon a few hours before he closed his desk for the last time and turned over the keys to his office to Inspector Henry G. Pratt,*his successor. But Maj. Hesse goes out of office in virtually the same financial condition that he took over the superinténdency three years ago—a poor man. His only reward is his own consolation that he did a good job. “I came into office with clean hands,” he said, “and I go out the same way.” All of the bribe offers, Maj. Hesse ex- plained, came to him indirectly. “Had they been made to me directly,” he de- clared emphatically, “the person who made them would have been pramptly knocked to the floor.” Maj. Hesse said he was unable to estimate his potential wealth had he wanted to be dishonest. At first he said the total amount might exceed $200,000, but after some deliberation he expressed the belief that it would not reach that figure, “At any rate,” he added, “I could have been a wealthy man if I had wanted to stoop so low as to become a grafter. I have been honest, of that fact I am aware, and a recent investi- gation by the Bureau of Efficiency has disclosed that there has not been a taint of graft in the department dur- ing my administration.” Letters Threatened His Life. The flat rejection of the bribe offers is believed to have been responsible for many of the anonymous letters Maj. Hesse received during his tenure as superintendent threatening his life. Some of, them, however, he believes came from *“‘cranks.” Thirty-five years of devoted service to the District government have failed to endew Maj. Hesse with any of the world’s wealth. His bank account is insufficient to provide him with a com- fortable living for many years, and his retirement pay of $2,600 a year will be his only source of income he seeks new employmerit after his health is fully restored. X He does not own his home, but lives in a modest flat in Southeast Washing- ton, which he rents by the month. Neither does he own an sutomobile, nor has he the comforts of life enjoyed by many of his boyhood friends who cast their lot in other lines of endeavor. Maj. Hesse has never been known to have any extravagent habits; his wife is said to be even more conserva- tive. Both are known to be frugal, more by necessity than desire. Wears 4-Year-Old Suit. ‘While discussing his financial condi- tion Maj. Hesse pointed to the suit of clothes he was wearing. “This,” he said, “is only 4 years old.” Maj. Hesse has been in a position de- manding extreme trust and honesty nearly all of his 35 years of service in the District government. He first en- tered the Police Department as & clerk back in the late 90s at a salary of $900 a year, Salary increases from that time on were few and far between, and not until he became superintendent of po- lice was his compensation adequate to provide a comfortable living for him and his wife. As superintendent he has received $5,200 a year. Office Is Low Salaried. ~Incidentally, the superintendent of police and the chief of the Fire De- partment, both regarded as positions of utmost responsibility, are the lowest salaried departmental positions in the District government. The salary of the fire chief is the same as that of the 3 ear. in the District government are paid $6,000 or more a year, with several re- ceiving $8,000. The com] tively low salary of the heads of th& Police and Fire Departments is due to the fact that these are the only two depart- ments not under reclassification. s Maj.
