MAY BEAR
HEAVIEST BURDEN
Proposed Tax Would Yield More
Than Half Anticipated
Treasury Deficit.
RATES RAISED BY CAUCUS
Assessment on Bank Capital Is
Reduced From So to ST.
on Every $1,000.
RATES RAISED BY CAUCUS

WASHINGTON. October 6.-Liquors
would bear the heaviest burden of the
s10o.0oo.oo0 war revenue tax as 1t is
being revised by the caucus of Senate
Democrats, which began work to-day
on the Finance Committees draft OF
the bill.
The first action of the caucus was to
vote an increase in the proposed extra
tax on beer from SO cents to 76 cents r.
barrel, to mako the total tax SLOT a
barrel. with a drawback of per cent
for purchase of revenue stamps In ad-
vance.
AMENDMENT OF WILLIAMS
WINS DY BIG MAJORITY
The amendment urged by Senator
Williams. of Mississippi, was carried
by large majority after Senator Stone
had made n vigorous speech against it.
A special revenue tax on rectifers of
distilled spirits of 5 cents gallon, also
was adopted. Together the proposed
taxes on liquors would yield an annual
revenue OF more than s50.o00.00o.
Democrats of the Finance Committee
had agreed to the House tax OF $3.50 a
barrel on beer, which would yield, at
so cents over the normal tax, an added
revenue of s32,500,000 annually. The
further addition Of % cents a barrel
by the Senate Democrats would yield
another $16,000.000 With the per
cent. discount for prompt payment fig
iured. the least to be derived from beer
would be approximately SAT, 1000, ,00O
The proposed tax of cents q gallon
on rectifed spirits, Treasury experts
estimate, would yield $1,000, ,000.. Thus
the total to be derived from liquors
would be more than half the anticipated
Treasury deficit caused by tho Euro
pean war.
When the caucus convened, the first
amendment offered was by Senator Will
liams. to increase the levy on beer to
$1.T5 a barrel. Senator Hollis of New
Hampshire, moved as a substitute that
the tax be made So barrel. This was
voted down after prolonged debate.
Before any votes were taken. how
ever, there was general discussion of
the proposed tax of cent n gallon on
gasolene, the 50-cent horsepower tax
on automobiles sales and the House
bill tax Of 81 on every $1,000 of bank
capital and surplus. Numerous amend
ments were offered, which were dis
cussed in detail at the night session.
PROPOSED GASOLENE TAX
is STRUCK FROM BILL.
After n two-hour discussion the
caucus tonight voted, 90 to II, to strike
from the bill the proposed tax on gaso-
lene. The committee had reduced the
House tax from 2 cents to cent
gallon. The caucus then took up the
proposed tax of SO cents per horse
power on manufacturers sales Of au-
TOM mobifes.
After discussion, the caucus struck
out the automobile sales tax, which, IL
Is estimated, would have raised about
S10.000,0O0.
The caucus also revised the tax on
banking capital AS framed by the
Senate committee. the bill would have
levied 81 for every $1,000 OF banking
reduced TO 81 per thousand by vote
