THE WAR TAX BILL.
1t VIII Pass the House Nexi
Friday.


The war tax bill will pass the House
next Friday just as it was reported from
the Ways and Means Committee yester-
day.
The Republicans have settled upon it in
that shape, and the Democrats will offer
no resistance beyond proposing their
amendments and having them voted up
on. They realize the impotency of bat
Ting against the House rules, and will
therefore content themselves with max
ing record against burdening the coun-
try with $500 0O0, 600 more of interest-bear-
ing debt
OF course there is not the slightest
probability of the adoption of any OF the
amendments offered by the Democrats in
the House. The Republicans will mus
ter in solid phalanX against them all.
There are members on the Republican
side who honestly believe in the policy of
an income tax, but there is no likelihood
of their voting to adopt il on the motion
Of the Democrats.
The Democrats intend to stoutly con-
tend for the income tax proposition They
Will meet the objection that il has been
decided against by the Supreme Court
with the argument that the personnel of
the court has changed since that decision
was rendered.; that Justice Field has been
succeeded by Justice McKenna and that
perhaps the court would, if given an op-
portunity, reverse its last opinion on the
subject.
The Democrats will make an aggressive
and united fight against another bond is
sue. AS stated In yesterdays Times the =
will maintain that the situation does not
justify imposing such a load of interest
bearing debt on the country. They will
insist that the surplus now in the Treas
ury with the money raied by the in
creased taxation proposed in the bill will
be sufficient. In the event Of that fall
ing short the Democrats will advise the
coinage of the silver seigniorage in the
Treasury and to meet further demands
the issuance of greenbacks.
