DingIey Says "No Revision"

Washington, Nov. 15.-The Washing
ton Post says that the war tax will not
be abolished at the coming short ses-
sion of Congress and that there will be
40 revision of the tariff whatever II
bases this announcement upon the pos
tive statement made by Chairman
Dingley of the ways and means COM
mittee, who, in an interview. said:
'The government will need for some
hme all the revenue produced by the
war taxes. During the month of Octo-
ber the war expenditures exceeded the
war revenue by some $4,000 900, and
this month they will be $4,000, 1000 in
excess. This being the case, there will
be no change this fiscal year. The war
revenue act will continue in force and
unchanged except, perhaps, in a few
minor administrative features, for at
east year longer.
1T is hardly necessary to add" con-
tfnued Mr.. Dingley, that there will be
no revision of the tariff, although
have seen some statement to the effect
that such a revision Is contemplated"

In fact it is these amendments which
