numerous other taxable things. by
the House ways and means commit
tee The committee approved the adj
dttional tax of 80 cents a gallon on
beer. the tax of two cents a gallon
on gasoline and the special tax on
brokers', bankers and tobacco sellers.
While the House ways and means
committee went bravely on with It's
list of taxable things to raise incomes
for this season Of war, the Republican
members of the House held confer
tence to formulate plans to defeat the
proposed war tax bill. The House
minority members adopted a resolu-
tfon unanimously which said that no
necessity existed for the levying Of
new taxes. A policy of economy
they asserted, would accomplish all
and more than is sought in the war
Tax bill. The action indicates that
the Republicans of the lower body

clouds of financial and commercial de-
preston are slowly but surely being
pushed aside. and there has come in
their stead a Frightening on the horizon
which forecasts an early return to nor
mallty everywhere.
Among the more important events of
the week were the floating Of a SlOO, 600 90
loan OF the city OF New York with which
TO pay on the city's obligations maturing
abroad; the shipment OF $4,000 900 in gold
