MELBOURNE, Australia (N.AN.A).— Despite hostility from its suppofters, the federal Labor government is making a sincere effort to balance its bucget for the current financial yeaf. The esti- mates of revenue and expenditure brought down with the budget in July have been recast to avoid a deficit of between 8,000,000 and 10,000,000 pounds. With the new imposts by federal and state governments, Australia will be the heaviest taxed country in the world, Y | Great Britain excepted. The burden will fall heavily on a people already seriously affected by the worst depres- sion known to this generation. The posi- tion is rendered all the more difficult as nearly one-fifth of the workers of Australia are out of employment. ‘The acting treasurer (Mr. Lyons) has announced new customs and excise du- ties which are expected to bring in 3,100,000 pounds annually. There is to bLe a super tax of 7' per cent on all property income, the exemption in re- #pect of which is reduced to 100 pounds and abolished when the income reaches @6 pounds. An increase by 15 per cent in the rate of tax on personal exertipn incomes instzad of 10 per cent 2s provided for in the budget is pro- posed, and there are to be special taxes on the salaries of ministers, members and public servants in place of reduc- tions. Further cuts in administrative cxpenditure are expected to save 1,230, 00C_pounds. ‘The acting treasurer told parliament that actual receipts from customs an the first four months totaled 10,230,000 pounds—a. sl";‘nmof 3,003,~ compared rata kudget estimate for that peflod.m Sales Tax Receipts.

Staft Photo. Duhamel Recalls “Paul Pry” Incidents at Society’s _ Christmas Meeting. Historical observations and regular business activities sharing time with a musical program, the Society of Natives of the District of Columbia last night conducted its annual Christmas meeting at the Washington Club under the branches of a gigantic Christmas tree erected in the assembly room. James F. Duhamel, historian of the society, traced briefly the erratic career of Ann Royal, eritic and reformer-pub- lisher of the Capital in the second quarter of the last century. Born in Western Pennsyivania, the woman who later was to cause so much agitation here and who was to be one of the few private citizens to whom a memorial is erected in the Capital, journeyed into Virginia as an ignorant young woman in quest of employment, Mr. Duhamel said. The girl worked for Col. Royal, Revo- lutionary War figure, who became so appreciative of her apparent talents that he sought her hand in marriage. Although illiterate when she married, Mrs. Royal was regarded as a “well educated woman” by the tims her hus- band died, in 1818, Mr. Duhamel de- clared. She gained her knowledge from Col. Royal, who patiently tutored her in their home. Following the colonel’s death, Ann Royal undertook the travel through the country which formed thi basis for her later famous writings. She journeyed through the South and sub- sequently visited the Northern States, Founder of “Paul Pry.” Finally Ann Royal came to Washing- ton in 1824. Here, Mr. Duhamel re- cited, she entered the field of reformer, which was to make her exceedingly unpopular, and led her, in fact, to the very edge of the ducking stool. The woman founded a newspaper, which she called Paul Pry. In its columns she criticized the officials of the city and many of its residents in such scathing terms that she was charged with being & common scold, the penalty of which in those days was an igno- minious “ducking” on the- official stool fastened to-the end of a long wooden . Ann Royal was ccnvicted, but she escaped with a fine. As a result of the action against her Paul Pry was susper.ded. ‘The courageous woman founded a second journal, the Huntress, which | was published until a few days before | its editor's death, in 1854. Mrs. Royal, {$he historian pointed out, was honored y the League of American Pen Women, which erected a monument to her in Congressional Cemetery. Fred A. Emery, prgsident of the so- clety, presented another of his brief papers on historical events associated with Georgd Washington in recognition of the approaching Washington bicen- tennial celebration. Mr. Emery recalled that 147 years ago yestercay George Washingtoh journeyed to Annapolis then the Capital of the infant Nation, to present his resignation as chief of the Continental Armies to the Continental Congress before proceeding to Mount Vernon through what is now the Dis- trict of Columbia. 2 Dead 131 Years. He recalled also that the first Presi- dent died 131 years ago this month. During another December Washington and his men suffered the cruel encamp- ment at Valley Forge. Mr. Emery said it was December 19, 1791, that the Maryland Legislature passed the act that “ratified and confirmed the ces- sion of what is now the District of Co- lumbia, with whose creation George Washington is so closely interlinked.” Members of the Society of Natives brought wrapped gifts to last night’ meeting, which they piled in a great heap for presentation, with the season’s greetings, to the Washington Home for Foundlings. The society’s Christmas activities were arranged by a commit- | tee, of which Mrs. J. C. Kondrup was | chairman, and which included Mrs. Ella C. Robinson, Mrs. Dora K. Muir, Mrs. Leslie Lipscomb and Frank Dawling. the eniertainment program the soclety adopted a resolution, presented by John A. Saul, indorsing the campaign to rid the Capital of billbcarcs. In the reso- |lution the society registered “its appre- ciation of the activities of adjacent States designed to minimize desecration of rural scenery along roads leading into ‘Washington.” Continuing, the resolu- i tion asserted that the society “indorses the campaign of the American Civic Association for preservation of rural {landscapes in the environs of the Na- tional Capital,” concluding with: “It recommends the approval of this cam- gn to the Federation of Citizens’ Associations as the expression of the | united organized citizenship of the Dis- ! trict of Columbia.” | Work Cards Distributed.

RIO DE JANEIRO, December 20.— A decrease of nearly 8,000,000 gallons yearly is anticipated in Brazilian gaso- line imports, 65 per cent of which come from American companies, if a proposed decree of the provisional government becomes effective. The decree, published yesterday, would require that 10 per cent of native al- cohol be mixed with gasoline for all purposes. It is to become effective next April 1, but is as yet unofficial, the government giving those interested an opportunity to express their opinions. Gasoline imported to Brazil in 1929 amounted to 74,000.000 gallons, on which were levied various duties total- ing about 15 cents a gallon. Fifty-nine per cent of last year's importation came directly from the United States, and from 65 to 70 per cent originated in the wells of American companies in various countries. Motor alcohol has been used for some months here. It is made from sugar cane. Satisfactory results have been obtained. : A government statement says Brazilian importations of gasoline last year to- taled about $15,000,000. 1100 MEN PREPARE TO FIGHT OIL BLAZE Ashestes-Clad Crew to Try to Snuff Out Fire With Expldsion. | By the Associated Press.
