TEN PER Cent TAX ON
MUNITIONS Profits
Senate Committee Decides
on Flat Rate Upon War
Order Companies
MEANS SAVING FOR
POWDER COMPANIES
By The United Press.


WASHINGTON. Aug II. -- Lessen
ing the tax burden TO he borne by
munitions makers. Democratic mem
bers OF the Senate finance committee
today fixed a fiat rate of ten per cent.
on the net profits of all firms making
munitions or their component parts.
Chairman Simmons estimated that
this clause would raise S45, 10000 a
year-S11, 100000 less than would
have been produced by the House pro-
vision.
Products which are sold within the
United States. as we'll as those ship
ped abroad. will be levied on under
this provision. This policy was de-
cided on to avoid an attack which
might be made on constitutional
grounds. against an export tax
IL is a complete substitute for all
proposed taxes on copper. lead. zinc
and other materials used in the
manufacture Of explosives. It will be
held TO have been in effect since the
beginning Of this year. Il will become
imperative one year after the close Of
the war.
The tax is applicable TO all sorts of
firearms, explosives, bayonets, sub
marines or torpedoes.
The plan as outlined would, il
adopted. result in tax on the du-
Pont, Hercules and other powder
companies considerably less than
that proposed in the bill as IL passed
the House, which was eight per cent
on gross receipts. The changes now
,,,aar conefdaratio, xvouId he al the
utmost. ten per cent, on net profits.
This would be many million collars
less than the amount that would have
been levied under the original sched-
ule against the DUPONT Company.

clined to yield to the demand of
friends that he become IA candi-
date for the Missouri Democgatic
gubernatOrial nomination. In let

sideratiOn that no emergency eX-
lists requiring his entrance into
the race. Mr.. Folk said that while
sensible of the appeal made to him
he had been forced to the conclu-

why he should become a candi-
date now than there was when
he originally declined two months
ago.

For Your Shelves.

Buy table oilcloth and cut it
into the required length for your
shelves and wide enough to cover
the front edge, where it should be
fastened at regular intervals with
brass tackS. The effect is consid-
rrably neater and the covering is
more permanent than when shelf
oilclOth or paper is used.
