REVENUE MEASURE
PASSED THE HOUSE
ALL REPUBLICANS, INCLUDING
PROGRESSIVES, AND ELEVEN
DEMOCRATS OPPOSED 1T.
SPIRITED DEBATE OVER BILL
Beer, Domestic Wines, GaOsline and
Stamp Taxes Provided. Country
Facing Worldwide Business Dis
turbance, Said Mr.. Underwood.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The adj
ministration war revenue bill, i'm
posing additional taxes on beer, do
nestle wines, gasoline and stamp
taxes, all estimated to produce $685.
100000 within a year, was passed
late today by the house, 234 to 1875.
The bill now goes to the senate.
All the republicans and all the
progressives, except Representative
Copley Of Illinois, voted against the
bill, and they were joined by eleven
democrats: Representative Gallo
way, Texas; Church, California;
Hobson, Alabama; O'Hair, Illinois;
Ragsdale, South Carolina; Sisson,
Stephens and Witherspoon, Missis-
sippi; Stevens, New Hampshire;
Thompson, Oklahoma; Wingo, Ar
kansas.
Representative Hobson of Ala
bama, democrat, declared the tenn
perance forces opposed any tax on
beer on the principle that the gov
eminent should not be dependent in
any way on alcohol.
Representative GaIIivan of Massa-
chusetts, democrat, praised the
American diplomacy of today, which
he said was emerging with honor
while "the trained diplomacy of
Europe had wrought a blunder so
colossal that no man living can reck-
on it's consequences.
The bill would impose an addi-
tional tax of so cents a barrel on
beer, 2 cents a gallon on gasoline; 20
cents a gallon on sweet wines and II
cents gallon on dry wines, stamp
taxes on railway and steamboat tick
cts, brokers' contracts, insurance pol
icies, mortgages, telegraph and tele-
phone messages, and special taxes on
theatres, brokers. bankers, tobacco

CANADIANS TAKING
HORSES FOR ARMY
VaIdOsta Dealer Returns From Ken
lucky After Working on Contract
For War Horses.

VALDOSTA.-J: G. Patterson, a
Valdosta live stock dealer, has re-
turned from Kentucky, where he has
been buying army horses on a large
contract for the Canadian govern
ment. The horses, it is understood,
are intended for the English army,
to be used in mounting the reserves
which Lord Kitchener is putting into
the field against the Germans. Mr..
Patterson was told by the Canadian
officials that they wanted from 1000
to 10000 horses a month. He and
other buyers secured Tennessee, Mis-
souri, and other states, and poured
hundreds of car loads into Canada.
On account of delays in shipping
the animals across the Atlantic they
accumulated so fast at the Canadian
ports that a halt was called in buy
ing operations. The horses accepted
have to stand rigid inspection and
come up to the standard set. Ami
mails weighing from 1000 to 1,250
pounds are preferred, though many
smaller ones are accepted if they are
of extra good quality.

greenback currency act of 1861.
He would have the secretary of the
treasury issue $500, 100000 of green
back currency which he should use
solely for the purchase of cotton at
not less than - cents a pound. the
title to rest in the possession of the
government and the notes to be re-
tired by the sale of the cotton after
the emergency is passed.
Secretary McAdoo is empowered
under the bill to designate gin re-
porters, postmasters and other gov
eminent employees in his discretion
as purchasing agents for the govern
ment, the ~ cent price being based
on middling cotton. Each grower
from whom the government purchas-
ed cotton would be required to sign
pledge not to plant more than two
thirds of the acreage in cotton which
he cultivated this year.
Mr. Howard says the chief value of
this plan is that it can be put into OPP
GRAFTON within sixty days. Plates for
printing the currency are already
made. He says it will be issued in
the identical manner as the money
of 1861, when 5OO,OO0,OOO was is
sued. of which s346, $4,000 is still
in circulation.
At the time it was issued this cur
rency was secured by nothing but a
promise, but an act of 1868 required
that a reserve OF Is per cent in gold
be kept for its redemption.
