i1orizontaI 10 Per Cent Increase
in Existing Duties and on
imports Now Free.
INCOMES ARE HIT HARD
New Revenues viii Produce Total Of
$1,000, 200, 900 for the Year-Ex-
emption Limits on incomes
Reduced to 81 900 for Sim
gle Men and $4,000
for Married Men.

Washington The war revenue bill,
largest In the nations history, estimat
cd to produce 81, 8OO,OOO,OOO for the ex-
penses of the war, was completed by
the ways and means committee Tues
day night and introduced in the house
Wednesday.
If the trainers overlooked any tam
gible article upon which it is possible
to levy a tax, it was not because of
any desire to do so.
Incomes, inheritances, business prof
Its, amusements, liquors, tobacco, auto
mobiles, moving pictures, baseball
games, medicines, letter postage, trans
portation and jewelry are among some
OF the things which will feel the bur-
den Of taxation.
Tariff Will Yield 100000, 900.
The committee found it necessary to
go to the tariff to make up a deficit of
something like S2O0O00,O0O. This was
done by an agreement to tax Of 10
per cent upon all articles now on the
free list and 10 per cent additional
upon all articles now upon the dutiable
list.
Income-tax increases as made public
by Chairman Kitchin follow:
Taxes for the year ending December
81, 1916, have been increased exactly
one-third. These taxes are due in.
June.
Exemption limits have been reduced
to $1,000 for single men and $4,000 for
married men.
The normal tax on new classes Of
incomes to be taxed, those between
81 900 and $4,000 for single men and
between $4,000 and $4,000 for married
men, has been fixed at per cent.
Normal taxes on all incomes former
~ taxed, those above $4,000 for single
men and $4,000 for married men, have
been increased from 2 to per cent.
Increases in All Surfaces.
The increased surfaces are as fol-

Eleven million male citizens from
twenty -one to thirty years old, 1nclu-
sive, will be subject to draft by the
president of the United States.
But In order that men under twenty
one and over thirty may serve their
country if they SO desire, the measure
provides for the acceptance of volun-
teers over eighteen years and under
forty years.
The gigantic number of men subject
to draft will not all be called to the
colors by any means. The proposed
law gives authority to the president to
draft as many men as he deems nee
essary to fill up the regular army, the
National Guard and the CONSUMPTION
force of 100000 men.
2,OO1 900 Armed Men.
ItNis estimated by the war depart
ment that as a result of the authority
conferred and the action to be taken
2OO1, 900 officers and men will com
prise the military establishment of the
United States.
Under the new bill agreed to author
ity is given to fill up by draft the reg
ular army and the National Guard TO
war strength, and to raise outside this
|. 100000 men, 100000 to come as the
first quota.
The war strength Of the regular
army is about 10000 men. 1t has
now about $4,000 men and is short
about $4,000 The National Guard
has war strength of 625,0OO men. 1t
has now about $4,000 and is short
about 100000 men.
Therefore, on the first call there can
be taken for war service about $50, 900
men to fill up gaps in the regular army
and National Guard and in addition
10000 as the first quota of the con-
script army of 100000 men.
In the first draft it Is possible about
f,155, 600 men will be taken for active
service, leaving authorization under
the present BIZ: to call out immedi-
ately 100000 more for another con-
script army.
No Place for Roosevelt.
The action allowing Col. Theodore
Roosevelt to enlist volunteers for for
eign service has been eliminated.
What the colonel will do now that
his pet project is incapable of realiza-
ton is question. 1t is generally I'M
derstood that President Wilson is abb
solutely opposed to the idea of vol
unteer organization under command of
the colonel.
Pay for enlisted men and non
commissioned officers was agreed upon
as follows:
Men now receiving less than $21
per month are increased to S31 per
month; those who received $24 are
Increased to S32 men who receive $50,
$50 or $40 are increased So each men
/ who receive $40 are increased to $50.
Army officers Pleased.
Army officers received notice of the
age limit with pleasure. They had
expected higher maximum, though
they would rather have had the orig
inal ages of nineteen to twenty-five.
A new section In the bill authorizes
the president to organize and equip
three machine-gun companies for
each infantry and cavalry brigade
and four machine-gun companies and
an armored motorcar for each In
fantry and cavalry division.
An interesting change is that the
draft will not be based upon the num-
Der Of persons available for serv-
Ice" as first proposed, but upon the
population.
A man may register by mail, If nec-
essary. Fraud in registration, exam

same Imprisonment. "or, IL subject to

They will be Of the same heavy blue

The girls will handle only the

In this type the conductor sits in
