WAR TAX MEASURE
FOLLOWS LINES OF
DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS
Majority of Ways and Means
Committee Approve Rates
on Beer and Wines-Re-
publicans Plan to Fight
Bill.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 1S.-Formal APP
proval of the Democrats of the Ways
nd Means Committee OF the House was
yven today to the war tax of S150 per
barrel on beer. 20 cents per gallon on
weet wines and II cents a gallon on dry
vines. The committees action simply
'ollows the directions of the Democratic
caucus. No other subjects i'm the pro-
posed bill were mentioned at the morn
ing session. The committee will resume
It's work on the bill later In the day.
Further delay occurred in the launching
of the measure. Chairman Underwood
hoped, however. to Introduce 1t late
today or tomorrow. Hopes of passing
it before the latter part of next week
have been abandoned.
A conference OF all House Repub-
leans called for tonight was another
obstacle in the path of the war tax Re-
publican leaders favor a solid stand
against the bill, as campaign issue for
the fall elections. A similar conference
of House progressives was being aGitated
today.
Underwood and other Democrats of the
Ways and Means Committee have put
the finishing touches on the bill, but
still are undecided whether the whole
stamp and occupation taxes of Schcd-
ule A of the Spanish American War tax
measure shall be Incorporated Under
wood. however, said he hoped to pre-
sent a bill impregnable against amend
ment and one upon which all Demo-
Gratis would unite.
Representative Kitchin and other
Democratic leaders brought pressure to-
day to "educo the stamp taxes on checks
to one cent. instead of the two-cent levy
of the Spanish War bill. or at least eX-
empt small checks under s1OO or $50 from
STAMP taxation.

PENROSE MACHINE
A HOPELESS WRECK
In CHESTER COUNTY
r e m a k a b lie Change
Wrought Among the Vot-
ers Awakened to the Moral
Issue of This Campaign.

| WEST CHESTER. Sept 1s--That there
is n change in the political atmosphere
| IN Chester County goes without saying
! This fact is read in the faces oC the
! men who once were the acknowledged
! bosses vi voters here and the word
machine as it has been employed m
the telling Of political conditions in the
past no longer has any significance.
For score OF years the name of PEN
rose here was a synonym of political
success and continuance in public place.
Today finds it knocked about in most
practical manner and its influence is van
ishcd. And all because things are diff
ferent now and voters have asserted
their privileges Of expressing their pref
crcnccs at the polls. In the rural sec.
tions of the county Mr., Tenrose some
years ago had libcrai following be-
cause of one of his most aftabie leu
tenants having circulated among them
with the old story that what was their
interests were his also Now that afiabo
Cmissary is no longer in the machine
ranks. ON the contrary, he is n dill
gent !aborer in the vineyard of the anti
Penrose faction, and it is said he Is
role as he did when under the flag of
the old organization
The position taken by the Evening
Ledger is In Complet" harmony with tn"
views of the awakened citizens of chester
County, who are fast becoming readers OF
that paper, and are taking it as their
safe guide in the issues t. hc disposed
of by the ballot this year.
1t Is not very long since the word "ro-
form as it was applied to matters pu-
liticai, was as a cipher in the thoughts
of the voters here 1t has been banded
about by the bosses until every vostigc
OF its real worth was measured as mean
ing nothing moro than Il phrase with
which to gull the people. Now it has
been restored to its former place in the
vocabulary and Is serving a good pur-
pose In the campaigu Indications arc
that Mr.. penrose has deceived the voters
of this county for the last time.
There is more effort being made in the
Senator's cause here than at any time in
his political history, but 1t cannot re-
trieVe that which has been lost t. him
The men who are engaged In this uphill |
work are the ones best acquainted with
this condition. Evidence of this change
are visible to them when they compare
present experiences in mingliug with the
masses with what has taken place in the
past. The opposition to Peurosc Is not of
the brass band order; it has for its basis
that determination which speaks for
truth and the results which follow in its
wake In the ranks of those bent on the !
of bcnrose are found the
very best mon OF tn" country who have a |
