OMNIBUS REVENUE BILL PASSES
HOUSE, INCREASING INCOME TAX

Washington, ID. C.-The administra-
tion omnibus revenue bill. creating a
tariff commission, imposing a protec-
tive tariff on dyestuffs, repeating pres
ent stamp taxes and providing for new
taxes on incomes, inheritances and war
munitions profits, passed the house
late Monday by vote of 240 to lao.
During the closing hours of debate
several amendments, providing for
elimination of the bankers tax and
modifying the tariff commission sec
tion, were adopted over the opposition
of Democratic leaders.
The amendments cut the salaries of
members of the tariff commission from
$40, 900 to $7500 annually; struck out
the provision under which no member
or former member of congress could
serve on the commission, and provided
a single appropriation of $500, 600 to
pay expenses of the commission the
first year, instead of the bills stipula-
tion of continuing annual appropria-
tion of that amount. The entire sec
tion levying tax of ST for each $1,000
of capital, surplus and undivided
profits held by bankers was stricken
out.
Many amendments proposed by the
ways and means committee also were
adopted, including one under which
cigarette manufacturers must pay
special tax of cents for every 10, 900
cigarettes.

County Courts Decide to Push
Work on Dixie Mountain Road

Baker-Meeting at the dividing line
of Grant and Baker counties at Austin,
81 miles west Of here, Tuesday after
noon, members of the County courts OF
the two counties decided to push the
work on the Dixie Mountain that will
give a thoroughfare connecting the
counties. The road on the Grant
county side was found in worse shape
than that on this side Of the line, but
this the Grant County court consented
to remedy at once, with the ultimate
idea of building road along the John
Day river from Susanville, touching at
the Dixie Meadows mine, which will
make much safer grade than that on
the road now in use.
In regard to the state highway, fol-
lowing the John Day river and con-
Meeting Baker, Grant and Malheur
counties, the Grant county commits
sioners announced that they will push
preliminary survey. 1t was ascer-
tanned that the United States Forestry
department would pay the greater part
of the survey in Baker county. No
arrangements were made as to how the
balance of the expense could be met.

GERMAN SUBMARINE IS
ENTERED AS MERCHANTMEN

Batlimore--The daring German sea,
men who brought the submarine mer-
chantman Deutschland across the At
lantic slept quietly aboard their vessel
which lay moored to carefully screen
ed pier guarded by strong squad Of
Baltimore police. Captain Paul Koe-
mig, the skipper, had delivered his pa
pers to the North German Lloyd Office,
entered his vessel at the custom house
as commerce carrier, and had pre-
sented to German embassy official a
packet Of correspondence for Won
Bernstorff.
Now the submarine is ready to dis
charge her million-dollar cargo of dye
stuffs and take on board for the return
trip to Germany metal and rubber
needed by the emperor's armies and
navy.
The return merchandise is waiting
on the dock, and the time for leaving
port will depend largely on plans for
eluding vigilant enemy cruisers expect
ed to be waiting outside the entrance
of Chesapeake Bay for the reappear-
ance of the vessel.

One Of Captain Koenig's first acts
after he moved his ship up the harbor
from quarantine early Monday was to
announce that the Deutschland was
only one Of feet of mammoth sub
mersibles built or building for a regu-
lar transatlantic freight and mail
service. He said the next to come
would be the Bremen, and that she
might be looked for at some port along
the coast within eight weeks.
The German catpain submitted his
craft to thorough inspection by the
surveyor of the port and an agent of
the department of Justice. These
officers agreed that there was on sign
Of armament of any description on
board, and that there was no doubt in
their minds about the boats being en-
titled to the status of an ordinary mer-
chantman.
The captain asserted that his voyage
had established the fact that subma-
rine of the type of the Deutschland
could travel anywhere that the ordi-
nary vessel could go, 10000 miles, if
necessary. He had no fears, he said,
of his ability to elude enemies that
might be waiting for him off the Vir-
ginia Capes when he starts his return
trip.
