SPLIT HAIRS
| ON Army BILL
Existing Emergency"
Causes Long Debate on
Draft Bill
lRv Aasociated Press.l

washington, May 17.-When the
army bill came up in the senate today
for final action on the conference re-
port it was thrown into long debate
over technicalities.
The principal contention was over
whether soldiers were. being drafted
for ''the existing emergency or the
war"
Here we are at war" declared
Chairman Chamberlain of the mile
tary committee, "and the senate is
splitting hairs on this proposition with
danger at our doors and threatening
to send the bill back to conferences"
Some senators protested against the
general language of the emergency,
contending that it might fasten a mili-
tary policy on the country.
Senator Chamberlain served notice
on the senate that IL IL sent the report
back to conference there would be no
military legislation for 80 or SO days.
Senators Smith and Hardwick OF
Georgia, Reed OF Missouri, and LaFol-
lette of Wisconsin were among those
who raised objections. LaFollette de"
manded q vote on returning the bill
to conference with instructions to
make it operative only during the
war; and not during "the existing
emergency"
Senator Chamberlain pointed out
that the senators delaying the bill
were those who lost their fight against
the draft system.

Big INCREASES
IN INCOME TAX
(By Associated Press.l

Washington, May 1.-THE house be-
gan voting substantial increases on in
come tax and large fortunes today with
the result that all the great incomes
will probably be taxed much more than
first proposed.
Unexpectedly the insurgent move
ment which won a vote on the first in
crease yesterday, got support from
the administration itself The treasury
department notified Chairman Kitchin
of the ways and means committee that
the $1,000, 000,0 to be raised by the
war tax bill was half billion short
of what the government probably
would need. Chairman Kitchin who
fought the income tax increases yes
terday promptly switched to their
support. On the first vote today the
house raised the surtaxes on incomes
between $4,000 and $4,000 and made
1t 1875 per cent instead of IL as pro-
posed in the bill. Yesterday it increas-
ed the rate between $4,000 and 100000
With the advantage of administra
ton support. Republicans and Demo-
Gratis in favor Of the increases began
pouring in amendments with prospect
of getting them through.

PLAN CONSOLIDATION
OF TRAIN SCHEDULES

The removal Of competitive ,passen-
ger trains on lines entering the twin
cities. and the consolidation and revi-
sion of schedules so as to release men
and equipment, for the freight service
are possibilities of the very near flu
ture, according to word received here
today.
Arrangements to that end are already
under way, 1t is said, and the plan will
be put into effect as soon as the vari-
ious roads have worked out details.
The change will largely affect trans
continental service, and that between
the twin cities and the east.
While there is no definite local in
formation on the plan, it is expected
that new schedules will call for the
consolidation Of local service through
the state.
