SENATE CAUCUS
GIVES APPROVAL
To REVENUE BILL
Measure VIII Add Over Hun
dred Millions of Dollars to
Income Of Government.
Brokers Pay No War Tax

Washington, Oct. AFTER an ALL
day session the senate Democratic eau
Gus approved the war revenue bill this
afternoon. The estimated revenue from
IL will he sf0s, 100000, or $4,000 900
more than 1t was estimated would flow
from the house measure. The caucus
today sacrificed $4,000 in revenue by
striking out the tax on brokers. 1t
threw over board more than $25, 600
more in revenue by cutting the tax
on sleeping car tickets from two cents
to one cent.
This action was taken today on mo-
ton of Senator Lewis, of Illinois. who
tried to have the reduction made in
the caucus last night, but lost by two
votes.
The estimates Of the revenues that
win flow from the new bill are sub
ject to the contingency that the pro-
duction of beer in the United States
will continue to fall off at the rate
II has for the last few months. II the
reduced production continues the to-
tai Of the revenues to be raised by the
bill Will fall below S100. 600, 600 the
amount called for by President Wilson.

Senator OGorman put through an
amendment directing the finance COM
mlttee TO report a graduated tax on
the production of cigarettes In lieu of
the SEA fiat rate which the house bill
taxes cigarette manufacturers The
new graduated scale will be worked
ont after the formula applied in tax
