BY SENATE DEMOCRATS
Surtax on Big Incomes Increased
and Normal Tax Doubled

Another caucus Of Senate democrats
was called for this afternoon to con-
slider finance committee amendments to
the revenue bill, increasing inheritance
taxes and imposing a tax of 10 per cent
on the net profits of manufacturers of
war munitions and materials entering
into munitions.
At a caucus last night the democrats
ratified an amendment to increase the
surtax on incomes of more than $2,-
100000 from 10 to Is per cent Several
senators even urged a surtax as high as
Is, 20 and even 25 per cent on such
large incomes Another amendment
approved would make the normal in
come tax instead of / per cent, as at
present.
Yielding to a flood of protests from
the country and from Senate and House
members of their own party, democrats
of the Senate finance committee recon-
the exemption in the income tax law
from $4,000 to $4,000. for married and
single persons. to $1,000 and $4,000, re-
spectively, but voted to make the rate
Of tax on the lowest taxable class of
incomes per cent instead of / per
cent.

on the amendment. the democratic

versed 1t.

warning POWERS BLOCK
PLANS TO FEED HUNGRY
Uncompromising in Their Attitude
of Obstruction to Relief
Efforts.

The uncompromising attitude Of Eu-
ropean belligerents in the negotiations
through which the United States had
hoped to extend relief work in the
war zones is causing keen disappoint-
ment among officials here. Three new
notes on the subject were before the
State Department today, but none of
them appeared to open any new avenue
for. continuation Of efforts ito aid the
starving and homeless of the war
swept areas. -. - :..
Great Britain and Austria again
have declared in vigorous terms their
unwiIlingness to recede from the reg
ulations which have operated to ex-
clude American relief supplies from
Poland and Serbia.
Turkey Puts Up Bars.
Turkey, in a note refusing to permit
a neutral commission to undertake to
feed and clothe war sufferers in Syria.
apparently has endeavored to forestall
anv further humanitarian efforts in
that quarter.
At the same time officials are con-
fronted with a deadlock in the nego-
tiations for permission to pass Red
Cross supplies through the allied
blockade lines into Germany ana AUS
tria, and there have been intimations
that Belgium, now fed and clothed al
most wholly by American charity, soon

tfons dictated by the military necessf-
ties of the great powers whose armies
occupy her soil.

If all that the law permits is

Gloomy as the outlook is, officials
have not abandoned hope that more
humane view may eventually be i'm
pressed upon the belligerents. No
European ruler has responded SO far
to the personal appeal made to them
by President Wilson for permission to
aid Poland, and their responses may
at least offer encouragement for con-
tinuing tho negotiations. Tho repre-
sentations to Turkey will be renewed
