rum AND GASOLINE
ESCAPE WAR TAX
Conferees Cut Levy on Beer to
$3.50; Bank Surplus 81
on $1,000.
MAY BECOME LAW TO-DAY

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.--An agreement
in the House and Senate on the war rev.
enue bill was reached this afternoon. AZ
result the beer tax will remain at $3.50
barrel as the House fixed Il instead Of
s1.75, the Senate figures. The tax Of s
cents a gallon on rectified spirits imposed
by the Senate also has been knocked out,
and there will be no tax on gasolene.
The House conferees thus won as to the
beer tax and the proposed tax on rectihed
spirits. The Senate conferees scored as
to Rasolene. In nearly every other in
stance the Senate conferees had their way
and retained their amendments in the bill.
The proposed wine tax as the Senate
wrote it after much delay and conferences
between the California wine producer,
and the Ohio wine growers whose inter-
ests conficted. remains in the bill. The tax
on bank capital and surplus will be 81 for
each $1,000 OF capital, surplus and und-
vided profit. instead OF 81 as the House
had fixed II.
The Senate amendment fixing a higher
tax on manufacturers of tobacco gradu-
ated according to production and increas-
ing as production increased. was retained
In the bill with an unimportant amend
ment
Brokers TO Pay $40 Year.
Brokers will have to pay tax OF $40
annually. This was a partial victory for
the House. which imposed a tax OF $50 on
brokers. but the Senate. taking compassion
on them, struck II out. The conference
committee restored the tax but made il
$40 Instead OF $50, II will apply TO every
person. Arm or company whose business It
is to negotiate purchases or sales OF stocks
bonds. exchange bullion coin, money,
bank notes, promissory notes or other Sc
curities for themselves or others" but no
person who has paid special tax as a
banker will be taxed as a broker.
The conference Topped off from sl5.-
100000 to 100000. 900 in revenue by elm.
mating the proposed tax on rectlfied
spirits and the Increase which the Sem
ate had made In the beer tax. II had been
estimated that the beer tax increase made
by the Senate would yield $4,000. 600 I'm
revenue and that about $1,000. 00O would
be returned by rectliers under the pro-
posed tax of cents II gallon on rectlfied
spirits
The decrease in the aggregate OF rev.
enues made by these two changes was
partially onset by the restoration OF the
tax on brokers and other changes made
in conference. Chairman Simmons of the
Senate Finance Committee estimated that
the bill would hardly produce $780, 600
in revenue.

The report Of the special committee to
suggest remedies and formulate proposed
laws said of the antitrust legislation:
II dscrimihates In favor OF labor or
plantations, forbids inIunctions in labor
controversies which would be granted In
other cases, and makes ceptain acts legal
when done by labor unions which are
Illegal when done by others.
FOR example. we condemn the Stand
ard OH manufacturers for endeavoring in
the early days OF their organization 10
drive competitors out OF business. What
Is this but a boycott?
This was considered so criminal by
the Senate that Senators declared they
would rather have their cotton DESTROYED
by the weevil than use any Rockefeller
money TO prevent the plague. Yet here
we nave proposed act which makes II
legal for labor union TO persuade per-
sons to cease to patronize or to employ
any party to a dispute. This IL a boy
colt.
Can II have occurred to the gentlemen
who propose this legislation that II the
courts cannot decide these controversies
peaceably they will be decided by force
The shocking results OF the latter method
we see plainly In Colorado Would II
not have been better to have the questions
which have given rise to boodshed there
decided In an orderly manner by the Colo
RADIO courts?
Your committee is not opposed to or
ganized labor We freely concede to la
boring men tho same right to organize
that their employers have. We are per-
suaded that in opposing the proposed
legislation We are the true friends OF both
For our own part we believe tina,
deadly competition is uncivilzed This
and this alone IL the crime alleged against
the founders of the Standard oil Com
pany. For this they have been held up
to public obloquy.
THE United States Government has
proceeded partly on this ground against
the corporation and has procured its dis
solution. II IL perfectly plain that pub
lie sentiment and the law as administered
do not permit deadly competition by cor
porations. on every principle OF equality

urged the commission to grant the in
crease as contribution TO other efforts
being made by this Government and the
British and French Governments to pre-
vent a worldwide panic.

road to pay its dividend regularly
naturally had a bad effect on the price Of

general among railroads 1t would affect

Mr.. Strauss said II was feared that

investor might become panicstricken and
hoard his gold and II the railroads are
helped at the present time II will con-
tribute largely to inspire confidence. He
said that SIR George Paish. the English
economist had informed him that while
the recent exposures OF American rail-
way financing had had considerable effect
on the English investors and that with
taxes and expenses going up at home
had been distrust of American Sc
curites, but that recently an improve
ment had been noted.

II the conditions should change and It
would appear the increases thus granted
were no longer necessary they could be
changed. and that the object Is merely to
restore better conditions"
Mr. Strauss admitted that this was sub
stantially the case
MIR Clements again reverted TO the fact
that the commission was asked to main
tain credit on stock and bond issues that
were very considerably watered and
finally asked:
Would IL not be cheaper for the coun-
try as n whole for the Government to take
care Of the defaulting obligations OF the
weaker roads rather than to advance
rates, than to take care OF all these obli-
gationST
MIR. Strauss replied that he did not
think so
Dividend Higher Abroad.
Clifford Thorne in his examination of
Mr.. Strauss showed that the average divi-
dend rates on railroads In England are
greater than in the United States
AT this juncture Mr. Brandeis inter-
rupted and asked Mr.. Strauss II he knew
that when they got horizontal Increase
OF railroad rates In England II was neces-
sary to get an act OF Parliament. Mr.
Strauss said he did not know that
AT the afternoon session Mr.. Chambe ria n
said that for some years there had been an
increasing reluctance to buy railroad
bonds, and that during the past year
American investors have refused TO buy
the highest grade of standard railroad
bonds at better than panic prices. He men,
toned a series of American railroads the
first mortgage or prior lien issues OF

July 20 at the close Of the exchange the
prices of these ten bonds were lower than
at any time in sixteen years.
There have been no quotations since
the outbreak OF war" said Mr.. Chamber
lain. but we are informed by the COM
mlttee which regulates transactions in
listed and unlisted railroad bonds tina,
practically no railroad securities have sold
as high as on the closing day"
ut Is almost impossible for US to sell
securities OF any sort to-day" said Mr.
Chamberlain. That cannot continue for
ever we must either improve or we will
have situation which will preclpitate us
into a situation unprecedented In the
history of the country.
Mr.. Chamberlain estimated that 75 per
cent. of the American marketable securi-
ties I'm Europe are railroad bonds and said
he thought the percentage that would be
thrown on the market depended or
whether the commission granted or re-
jected this application.
