An additional exemption, of S4OO would be allowed for each dependent On the first $4,000 of taxable in- ■ come the tax would be two per cent instead of the present 114 per cent, on the next $4,000 it would be four per cent instead of the present| th.ee per cent. On taxable income above SB,OOO the normal rate would be six per cent. In addition surtaxes ranging up to 37 per cent would be levied bn I incomes fronv SIO,OOO to $200,000. ' On incomes of mure than $500,000 the tax would reach a maximum of! 40 per cent. "The proposed revisions would i b: Ing back into the taxpaying group some 1.700.000," secretary Mellon said. “Even so, our income tax . law would still remain a tax paid by relatively few individuals. There I would only be some 3,600,000 federal taxpayers in a nation of 120,000,000 people, and of this number less , than 300,000 would contribute 90 per cent of the tax." .The secreta y emphasized the advisability of balancing the budget in the next fiscal year. He es-. tlmated the treasury deficit far the | fiscal year ending in June at $2.123,000,000 and said this would I cause an increase of $1,500.0(81,000 i in the public dept.

Honolulu, —Civil and naval author-1 ities th.oughout the Hawaiian Islands are prepared to cope with any I racial disorders that may grow out of thekilling of Joseph Kahahawai i for whose slaying Mrs. Granville Roland Fortescue, her son-in-law Lieut. Thomas H. Massie, U. S. N. and two enlisted men, E. J. Loid and Albert O. Jones, are being held. The affair created a sensation in all quarters here as well as in Washington and New York, where both Mrs. Fortescue and Lieut. Massie \ are well known. Unwilling to t.ust the prisoners ! to the custody of the local prison authorities, the accused three were , were taken aboard the U. S. S. Alton for safety.The killing of Kahahawai who was awaiting a second trial charged i wit|i participating in an attack on i Mrs. Massie, daughter of Ms. Fortescue, last September, is the latest , sensation growing out of the reI lease of four natives and a Japanese accused of the crime. The ; i jury disagreed at the first trial and 1 j the five were released on bail. The 1 * first reprisal came in the flogging i of Horace Ida, the Japanese. He ! said he was kidnaped by American sailors, taken three miles up the mountains to the historic Pali and I severely beaten. Officials were ' warned that sailo s intended to i wreck a native dance hall near the j scene of the attack on Mrs. Massie. . —______ . every home in the land, so must I I it be observed in every operation of the Fede.al government." the j secretary said. i In addition to raising the tax on I larger incomes, it is imperative to i dra t a new Army of Federal taxpayers he said. They are in a position to make some contribution to the support of the government. They should be ' asked to do %o. This basic concept underlies the entire program which the treasury department is submittI ing for your consideration. It must form a part of any program, for without it a solution is imposj.ble and it is justified not . only by necessity but by equity and ■ 1 sound public policy. “We are in the midst of a grave I ! emergency. It is essential to raise ' additional revenue, not just to cover I current expenses but to maintain ■ 1 unimpaired the c edit of the United ! , States Government. This last objective is of paramount importance ; to every citizen in tne land. It is an indispensable step in our progress ; towaid recovery." Q Mellon Is Scored In Impeachment Hearing Washington, Jan. 13 —(U.R) —Secretary of the Treasury Mellon's interests in Soviet Russia and in commercial enterprises place him in a position of ruling on matters in which he has a direct personal interest, Representative Wright Patman, Democrat.

IU. S. marines were rushed from Pearl Ha bar and riot squads pa- ’ I trolled the city for days. Honolulu j I remained fairly quiet, however, tin-; ' til a young native, recently sentenc- ' led to life imprisonment for an at-, tack on an American woman, escaped from Oahu prison. Seve.nl race riots broke out with I the result that the National Guard was called out and members of the American Legion deputized. Three shootings in which two natives and i a Japanese were wounded, followed, j This was the situation when the | city was electrified by the kidnap I | ing and and killing of Kahahawai. i , The prominence ot the accused ' ; and Lieutenant Mtassie's official ’ I connections have served to inten-1 j sify the acuteness of racial feeling ■ i Rear Admiral Yates Stilling, Jr.,, | commandant of the 14th Naval Dis 1 | trict here, immediately took steps! | to prevent further rioting between j navy personnel and natives. As a I | result of the situation it has been I ; officially announced that the Pa- 1 1 cific Fleet scheduled to hold ma-| I neuvers of. the Islands next month, i I will do so but that no shore leave j ' will be pe.mitted. This is a tremen- | dous blow to the business houses of I Honolulu, which reap a harvest I whenever the fleet calls here.

Police were told they drove northward from Monticello jin an auto bearing Michigan license ; number 943,623.

Today, she said, the thief of- 1 sered to pay for the birds because' 'he 'had been converted and wanted to make good the loss." Mrs. Gamble said she refused the money so she could help the thief, whose name was withheld to lead a Christian life. Common Geographical Error Phoenix.

Mrs. Fortescue, the former Grace Hubbard Bell of Washington, has been active in Washingten and New York social circles I for more than twenty yea s. The assault on Mrs. Massie was ; particularly brutal and despite the | fact that she positively identified j Kahahawai and his four companI ions, the jury disagreed.

Given the choice of standing trial 1 be ore a naval court-martial, Lieut, i Massie and the two sailors held i with him upheld the tiaditional galj lantry of the navy by electing to ■ stand trial in the civil court at Honi olulu with Mrs. Fortescue.
