INSURANCE POLICY TAX
SUBJECT TO PROTEST

Protests have reached members of the
Senate and House against a stamp tax
on insurance policies in quantities
great enough to indicate that either
the Senate or House or both will pro-
test against the position taken by the
Senate democratic caucus.
Ever since the revenue bill was re-
ported to the Senate from the finance
committee kilograms of protests
against the insurance tax have liter
ally poured into the Capitol. Many
members of the House have received
as many as twenty kilograms a day,
and some senators have received many
more.
The House passed the Gill without
this or any other stamp tx on docu-
ments policies. etc. The Senate finance
committee reported the bill with pro-
vision for a stamp tax on bonds, deben-
lures. stock certificates and issues and
transfers of stock sales of products
on exchanges, conveyances, entries at
customshouses Withdrawals from
warehouses, foreign passage tlckets'
parlor car seats and berths, and insur-
ance policies. other than health ac-
cident and life.
The storm of protest from insurance
agents all over the country lmme-
diately set in, and may have the erect
of removing insurance from the war
tax zone.

May Curtail Improvements.

To meet the additional expense of
maintaining the aqueduct, over which
they will have no supervision. the Com
missioners. 1T Is believed, will have to
make curtailments in improvements
planned for this year to the extent Of
$4,000. When Congress next meets
the Commissioners probably will ask
appropriations for certain needed water
extensions and improvements If the
appropriate tions are not allowed. the
District heads, 1t is pointed out, then
will be forced to raise rates in order
to get the additional revenue needed
for the upkeep Of the aqueduct.
If raise eventually becomes neces-
sary, it probably will be made to ap-
ply to water used in excess of the 1900
cubic foot allowance under the fiat
annual rate. The excess rate at pres
ent is cents per 100 cubic feet, and
If an additional charge is required the
rate may be increased to 6 cents per
100 cubic feet.

An Advance of Approximately 81 a
Bale Recorded.

NEW YORK, August 25.-On the
most active and excited trading since
the outbreak of the European war the
cotton market today recorded an ad-
vance Of approximately 81 bale. Ap-
prehensions of a deprecated crop ap-
peared to increase because of the con-
tinued drought in the southwest, and
private reports indicated severe de-
terioration of the product along the

A substantial advance in Liverpool
owing to fears abroad of bullish crop
report from Washington next week
caused an initial jump of about s15O

CONGRESS HAS PROBLEM
IN D. c. WATER SITUATION
May Be Called on to Make Special
Appropriations or Sanction In
crease in Rates.

Congress may be called upon to race
the alternative of making special ap-
propriations for water extensions ana
improvements or sanctioning an In
crease in water rates, if the provision
in the District appropriation Dill
agreed to in conference taxing the
water department for maintenance or
the Washington aqueduct becomes law.
The cost of maintaining the aQue-
duct this year will be $4,000. This
expense. heretofore, has been met by
direct appropriation on the half-and-
half basis But the conferees on the
District bill have agreed that 1t shall
be paid out Of the water department
revenues And this additional ex-
pense is proposed to be saddled upon
the department. despite the fact that
the amendment does not transfer su-
pervision of the aqueduct to the Com
missionerS, but still leaves the War
Department in control of the city's
water supply.
The proposed legislation, to which
the Commissioners are opposed, orig
mated in the House, was struck out
in the Senate, but again has become a
part of the bill through the action Of
