CONGRESS READY TO
IMPOSE WAR TAXES
May Be Called On to Enact Such
Legislation When President
Returns Next Week.

Congress will be called on by the
President, probably on his return from
Cornish. y. H, next week. to impose
war taxes on the country. which will
raise in the region of 500, 100000.
The Democratic leaders have deter
mined to go ahead with war tax legis-
lation. Revenues are falling off at such
rate that II is not deemed expedient
to wait until after election as many
would like TO do in order to lull the
voters into the BELIEF they are not going
TO have to bear larger war burdens.
Secretary McAdoo. Senator Simmons,
chairman Of the Finance Committee, and
Chairman Underwood. of the Ways and
Means Committee, held a conference at
the Treasury this morning. They went
over the revenue situation with experts
Of the internal revenue and customs
divisions The Treasury figures show
the probable deficit 10 be met is $780,
00C, coo.
Not Well Founded
Talk that England and France will be
able by increased sales to this country
to make up for the loss of revenue
caused by the shutting down Of business
with Germany is not we'll founded. At
least. neither Mr.. Underwood nor Sena-
tor simmons believes relief may be
looked tor in that direction.
The exact plans for the war tax are
not yet disclosed But once the EFFORT
is begun to get legislation there prob
ably will be little delay IN the enact
ment of Law. At least, the leaders do
not want to draw out the agony
A stamp tax is looked for. inCrea sed
tax. Advocates Of an Inheritance tax
hold this is the right time to impose
il, as II would not be burdcnsome TO
the country as whole. and. in fact. not
burdensome to anyone but those amply
able to pay II.
Congress is net in a mood To stand
for taxes on foodstufs. and thus IN
crease the already high cost of living
Any attempt in this direction would be
resisted.
One of the plans talked of is tar
on automobiles. on the theory thev are
luxuries. and that anybody who owns a
machine can afford To pay war tax
and look cheerful.
Makes Leaders Uneasy.
The whole situation with respect 70
war taxes is making the Democratic
leaders lie awake nights It would he
less embarrassing were il not for the
extravaganza Of the appropriation bills.
On top OF war taxes. the gentlemen in
Congress who are grabbing for pork
are insisting that the huge river and
harbor bin be passed. and. moreover,
they purpose to keep Congress in ses-
sion until il is passed. How the pub
lie will like a pork barrel measure
jammed through Congress when war
taxes are necessary Is problematiCal,
but it can hardly be supposed it will be
swallowed with relish.
