JohnSon'S Amendment to Come
Up for Disposal After La

Speech.
BOTH SIDES PROFESS

Debate Shows Much Aninos-
ity Toward Wealth and a
Desire to Tax It to Utmost
1t viii Bear,


Washington, Aug. 31.-Voting prob
ably will begin in the senate tomor-
row on the war profits section of the
war tax bill.
The situation clarified 50 rapidly
after yesterdays abandonment of clo'
ture plans and agreement for final
disposition of the measure that just
before suspending today all was ready
for vote on the first of the amend
ments to the war profits section-the
proposal of Senator Johnson of Cali
fornia providing a gross levy of 80 per
cent. Absence of score of senator's
not expecting that voting would be-
gin so early prevented an immediate
test of strength.
Ia Toilette to Sp"ak.
Senator La Toilette expects to make
a lengthy war profits speech tomor-
row, but Senator Borah, a leader of
the group demanding higher taxation,
said tonight this would not interfere
with prompt action on the Johnson
amendment.
Spokesman for those favoring and
opposing higher profits rates divided
terday's debate. Senators Harding and
Smoot urged retention of the finance
committees provision, while Senators
Hollis and Gronna urged much great
er levies. The attendance generally
was small, with but half dozen sem
ators remaining on the floor at times.
Bnsi .,fter War fr,fits.
Senator'S Harding and Smoot
warned that much higher taxation of
war profits probably would result Sc
riously to business. Senators Hollis
and Gronna contended that the bulk
of the wars expenses should be OBJ
tanned from war profits Senator Hollis
opposed consumption taxes proposed
and insisted that the bill be increased to
$4,000, 100000 by levying upon war
profits.
II am ready to take practically all
war profits" he declared.
"They are trust fund in the hands
of those that make them and the gov
ernment should have no conjunction
in reaching out and taking them"
Johnson's Amendment Test.
BY strategic move the senator's
making the fight for higher rate on
war profits got Senator Johnson,s
amendment placed in position for the
first vote. Both sides expressed con-
fidence tonight, but the plan of the
high tax group is to offer Senator
Johnson's maximum levy provision
first, and if that is defeated, to follow
with other propositions to secure ac-
ceptance of the highest possible rate.

Washington. Aug S1.z-Prospects OF
an early and radical reduction in
bread prices apparently vanished to-
night when Herbert Hoover, the food
administrator, announced that the
best the public may expect is a 16-
ounce loaf for 10 cents or possibly
5 cents.
The Scent loaf of sixteen ounces is
possible, MIR. Hoover said. if bakers,
retailers and consumers unite to elm
mate wasteful distribution methods
and cooperate to attain a standard
lied loaf.
The price of family flour, Mr.
Hoover said, should be reduced at the
present price of wheat at least So or
SO barrel. Bakers flour, however
will sell little cheaper than at present
C. |. Corby, who is serving for the
bakers of the country as a voluntary
aide to Mr.. Hoover, said tonight that
a 16-oun"e loaf for 10 cents would
represent slight reduction in present
prices. Standardization, he said,
would be hard to bring about, since
varying costs in ingredients that go
into bread have made it necessary to
increase or reduce the size of the loaf.
Month May E1apsc,
No move will be made toward price
reduction, Mr., Corby said, until the
food administration has announced
its plan for Sedling Sith the baking
industry.
1t may be a month before the pro-
gram is ready, it was learned tonight.
"The bakers have been and are
holding themselves in readiness" said
statement by Mr.. Corby, to effect
the conservation of wheat. They have
been cooperating with Mr.. Hoover

Would Cooperate.
An effort has been made in draft
ing the amendment to meet the objec-
ton of President Wilson that a similar
provision proposed during the food
control bill debate would embarrass
him in the conduct of the war.
Instead of authorizing a committee
to study problems arising from the
war" like the former proposal, the
new draft would provide for COM
mittee to Cooperate with the pres.
ident in promoting efficiency and pre-
verting waste and extravsEance In the

Democrats 10 Dominate.
Seven democrats and six republi-
cans would compose the committee
personnel. The committee would hold
hearings and investigations at will
and be given an initial appropria-
ton of 100000.
Republicans also will seek to amend
in the house a provision Of the bill
making the $7,53S,945,460 of bonds
authorized convertible at possible
higher interest rates later and anoth-
er to permit the expenditure of ap-
proximately $40, 900, 900 in floating the
issues.
The convertibility proposal probably
will cause a hard fight. Contention is
made by the opponents of the plan
that, If some limit is not placed on
the convertibility of bonds the gov
ernment soon will be paying a wholly
unwarranted rate Of interest.
