The war revenue bill was so exten.
sively amended by the senate finance
committee before it was reported to
the senate that it is really Il new meas.
ure. The amended bill is far from
satisfactory to the tobacco interests,
which were not pleased with the
doubling of the tax on manufactured
tobacco-from six to twelve cents per
pound-bccausc it increases that tax to
sixteen cents per pound. The propri.
etary medicines and toilet article max
ers are protesting and saying that the
stamp tax on their wares is too great.
The representatives of the brewers are
not saying much, because they have
got more in the bill as it now stands
than they expect to have when the bill

1t was expected from the committee.

are going right ahead preparing the
