A Federal ,Government financial dilemma of growing proporticns awaits the homecoming of Secretary Mellon. The Treasury chief will find a lop- sided budget sagging under last year's $903,000,000 deficit and facing another in the billion-dollar class for the 1932 fiscal year. Between his arrival from Europe this week and December, Mellon must pre- pare for inclusion in President Hoover's opening message to the nsw Congress recommendations for meeting the basic problem of balancing Government ex- penditures with receipts. Before he sailed in June on the vaca- tion and business trip that included London and Paris conferences on inter- Governmental debt matters, Mellon said the Treasury was aware “of the defects in our tax structure.” During his absence, department ex- perts have scrutinized Federal finances seeking a solution. President Hoover has directed reduction in expenditures, but opening weeks of the new fiscal period show outlays exceeding revenues. The Secretary’s warning that “the tax system must come under careful scrutiny” has received new impetus from the Internal Revenue Bureau's analysis of the $611,000,000 drop in col- lections below 1930. Excise Taxes Proposed. Every major division of Internal Rev- enue showed a decline. Reduced income tax collections contributed $550.000,000 to the total slump. Individual income | taxes u:fi:ounm for $313,000,000 of this joting - that 380,000 persons pay 97 per cent of the individual income tax collections, Secretary Mellon has stressed the danger of “depending for so large a part of our revenues on A compara- tively small number of taxpayers.” Mellon and Undersecretary Mills have ted the Government needs a more stable revenue producer than income taxes, 50 subject to fluctuation. A sys- tem based on excise taxes has been proposed. President Hoover has indicated the need for a general revenue overhauling, but has not signified this will be recom- mended to the next Congress. Admin- istration spokesmen and some leading Democrats at the Capitol have opposed any tax legislation during the economic depression or just before the 1932 presi- dentia] election. | “Internal Revenue Bureau fgures { showed that tobacco taxes, though par- ticipating in the general decline, con- tinued to yield large revenues as the |second most important source of Gov- { ernment funds.

Treasury officials estimate work for 100,000 additional men will be fur- nished this Winter and in the next two | years by the Government's $700.000.- 000 public building program, about | $500,000,000 of which is to be expended outside of the District of Columbia. | In all, approximately 150,000 men will be given employment, directly and | indirectly, during the Winter, and as more projects get under way the num- ber will be increased. At present Gov- ernment buil construction is pro- viding employment for 32,000. Many Projects Includ The increase of 100,000 in employed on public buildings will result from the getting under way of a number of large and costly buildings and additional small Em:tfl&.

Program to Expand. For nearly three years the huge | building program will expand, giving more employment and costing more | money. In the last fiscal year the Government spent approximately $67 - 000,000, and this year it will spend | about $125,000,000, with an even larger | amount in the next two fiscal years. Already it has been decided to ask Congress for $120,000,000 to expedite the program in the next fiscal year. The money goes into -circulation about three months before the Treas- ury actually pays the bills, as the con- iractor spends the money before his bill is paid by the Treasury. .

STAR, WASHINGTON o G, WIKERSHAM BODY STUNPEDBY CALSE Crime Study Fails to Clear Doubt—Henry Anderson Scores Report. The Wickersham Commission today | reported to President Hoover its inabil- | ity to reach definite conclusions on the | 1 1 cause of crime—one of the major ques- tions assigned it for investigation by the President. | The report, twelfth of a series sub-| mitted to the White House recently, was criticized severly by Henry W. An- derson of Virginia, who presented an in- | dividual report urging creation of a “Institute of Human Research” to study effects of environment on crime. Col._Anderson held that the commis- | sion, by faling to ascertain the cause| of lawlessness, had fallen short of the| goal set for it by President Hoover, Un- | less the members of the commission un- | derstand the causes, he said, they were | not qualified to suggest remedies. Kenyon Refuses to Sign. Federal Judge Willlam 8. Kenyon of Towa failed to sign the report, but gave no_reason. The report, constituting two volumes, totaling 860 pages, included detailed findings of various experts employed to study various phases of the problem of curing crime. One volume alone treat- ed of juvenile delinquency and suggest- ed a crusade against slums as “breeding spots” of crime. Reports by the other experts named as causes for the uprush of crime in the United States factors ranging from | unpopular laws, unemployment and economic depression to political corrup- tion #nd police graft and dishonesty. Prohibition and the drug traffic were mentioned dwelt upon Morris Ploscowe, commission con- sultani, in an analysis of published Jit- erature on the causes of crime, asserted the sctivities of bootlegging gangs | “woul¢ not be possible without the de- mand for intoxicating liquors and the tremendous profits to be made in sup- plying it.” In a report upon the relation between economic conditions and the volume of crime in Massachusetts, Dr. Emma A. Winslew concluded there was a posi- tive link between the two. She asserted | the assurance of economic security | would bring “an appreciable reduction | in crime.” | Employment Is Factor. Miss Mary Van Kleeck of the Russell Sage Poundation reported that a study | of the Sing Sing Prison records over; 10 years showed the ranks of tne un- | employed produce more criminals than | the ranks of the employed In another phase of the study of | Sing Sing, Ira De A.

A. Ogden, representing the Pitts- burgh concern, began the second week of opposition to higher rates. He testi- fled the increase of 15 per cent asked by the railroads would not only dis- would “hamper” industry generally. He said the railroad troubles did not result from low rates, but from a lack of business, and that an advance in| rates would throw more business to the | trucks and other means of transporta- | tion. A reduction in rates would be | Forecasts Rise in Steel Costs. Ogden testified that steel plants on | the Great Lakes were not protesting the proposed increase because with no change in the water rate they would pay only one increase, while the interior plants would pay two. The lake plants, it was explained, obtained their ore by rail and water, while the interior fur- paces get it via rail-water-rail The proposed increase, he said, would mean an addition of 20 cents a ton on iron ore from Lake Erie ports to Pittsburgh and would increase the steel manufacturing cost of his company by | 40 cents a ton over and above the added burden on lake furnaces. Ogden said the selling prices of iron and steel products generally were no higher now than in 1917, but that freight rates were about 75 per cent higher. These increases, he added, amounted to more than the interior furnaces could stand in competition with the lake furnaces. . Youngstown C. of C. Protests. The Youngstown Chamber of Com- | merce, through its traffic manager, J. V. McMahon, opposed higher rates on | coal, iron ore, coke, limestone and dolo- | mite destined for the Youngstown region. All of these products are in the making of steel and. McMahon said, any increase in raw material rates | wouid make competition extremely dif- fieult. He said Youngstown manufacturers already had trouble meeting competition | from other districts, especially those on the Ohio River and the Great Lakes. He said an increase also would affect the railroads because business likely | would drop off. Buffalo Industries Opposed. Representatives of the Buffalo Cham- ber of Commerce and several Buffalo industries protested imposition of a 15 per cent increase on top of the new Eastern class rates which became effec- tive December 3. F. M. Renshaw of the Chamber of Commerce, said Buffalo industries had no objection to accepiing either the Eastern class rates or the 15 per cent increase but that both of them together would seriously cripple business and ;create an unreasonadly high rate evel.” George E. Willey of Boston, president of the United States Pisheries Associa- tion, predicted almost complete diver- sion to trucks of shipments of sea food if freight rates are increased. PRI P SO B F. L.
