Washington, Sept. s.-President
Wilson's disapproval today of the pro-
posai to increase the income tax as
means of raising revenue to offset
treasury deficit due to the European
war, set democratic members of the
ways and means committee to revising
their plans. They will renew tomor-
row the effort to draft a war revenue
bill. The president made his attitude
known at conference with democrat
ie leaders In congress.
Preliminary steps also were taken
by democratic senators today TO
readiust the pending S5S,00O.o00 riv-
ers and harbors appropriation bill,
against which republican senators
have conducted filibuster on the
ground that II is framed on an extrava-
CANT basis and mat the S100.0O0,00o
war revenue bill would not be neces-
sary If the new projects proposed in
the bill were abandoned. Senators
Burton, Kenyon, Galinger, Borah and
others have insisted that the bill in
it's present form should not be passed,
particularly in view of the financial
emergency now presented.
Want Revised Estimates.
Senators who championed the bill
have asked the war department for
revised estimates on the amounts ab-
solutely necessary TO carry on exist
ing river and harbor works and the
most urgent new projects in anticipa-
ton of pruning the bill.
I'VE have asked for revised esti-
mates" said Senator simmons, who is
in charge of the bill, that we may
have some basis for readjustng the
bill In view Of the present financial
situation. We cannot tell what the
result will be until we hear from the
engineers"
1t was reported tonight that a con-
ference between republican senators
opposing the bill and democratic lead
ers had been held at which sugges-
tions were made for a compromise |
paving the way for early adjustment
and removing much senate opposition I
to the war revenue tax.
May Tax Cigarettes.
Cigarettes probably will be added /
To the list of taxable commodities al |
ready agreed TO. such as beer. wines |
and rectified spirits. A plan also
is under consideration to make a tax
on beer of one dollar a barrel which
would yield s65, 900, 600. That amount,
together with s10.O00.O00 from wines,
100000 from rectified spirits,
probably $5,000,0O0 from cigarettes.
probably taxes ON railroad freight,
gasoline, automobiles, some proprie-
tary articles and soft drinks, it is es-
timated. would yield all the revenue.

 We had to establish a wholesale cru sade against malarial and yellow fever mosquitoes in order to protect our sol diers from dangers which otherwise would have proved great handicap"

Anniston. September 17-(Special) l Thomas E. kilby. president of the An niston City National bank, and nomi- nee for lieutenant governor, joined the patriotic buy-a-bale movement Thursday morning by taking bale of distress cot ton from the local market
 Until something better is advanced. .'' said MT. Kilby. q believe every man who can possibly do so ought to buy at least one bale of cotton in his home county. There is not much likelihood of loss, and even if there were the psychological effect of united action in this way will justify the end
 James Keith, Jr and Col w. II. Me- kleroy, also of the Anniston City bank. have purchased a bale for 10 cents, as has J. T. Gardner Jr., cashier of the First National bank.

 W. H. Weatherly of the Bell atherly Mercantile company, State Senator r-elect Kline, Armour X Co.,, Swift & Co.,. M. D. Lubin and others have purchased here for 10 cents, and altogether it is esti- mated that about dozen bales have been taken off the market here to relieve dis tress, while several others have been taken in exchange for trade, the Murphy Furniture company, J. R. Landham & Co, and others having agreed to take cotton in this way.
 Sam Powers of the Powers Woodruff company is very favorable to the Dothan plan and says he would join a club of merchants like that here. J. A. Clifford. manager of the Alabama hotel. says he will buy bale and place it in the lobby where it can be seen by every man who enters the hotel
 The farmers in Calhoun county this year are not in very bad shape financially The oats crop was the largest and best in the history of the county and the corn crop was also very successful Every man who can possibly do so will hold for a better price, and there are ware house facilities here sufficient to take care of the 2O,O00 bales or more that will be raised in Calhoun.
