SEEK TO HALT
WAR BOND issue
Republicans Make Deter
mined Attack on Reve-
nue. Bill In House.

Still another effort was made to halt
growing bond issues and increase tax
alton yesterday in the House when the
81, zoo, ooo,ocs war revenue bill was I'M
der discussion.
This time 1t was Republican and
Progresslve-Republican opposition.
Representative Norten. of North Da-
kota. Progressive Republican. demand
ed policy calling for half the war
revenue by taxation and half by bond
sales. Representative Fordney, of
Michigan. an old-tifne Republican,
warned the House that the administra-
ton must come to higher import and
indirect taxes or face disaster.
Chairman Kitchin, of the Ways and
Means Committee, opened the days
session by calling up the war revenue
bill, and asking unanimous consent to
disagree TO Senate amendments. and
agree to a conference with Senate
conferees. He stated that while the
bill was in conference, the House
could pass the urgent deficiencies
measure and then take three-day re-
cesses until the conferees could re-
port.
Kitchin then said war expenses alone
will amount TO $500, 900, 600, wherea
the revenue bill. reported back to the
House by the Senate, provided only
800, 100000 This. he said, would leave
6,OO0OOOOoo to be raised by the sale
of bonds,
Norton interrupted with a demand
| that the House instruct its conferees
to report back to the House with a
bill TO raise at least so per cent Of the
$500 100000 by taxation.
Fordney sprang up with a bitter at
tack on Norton and other Representa-
tives seeking higher direct taxes.
Under this system" he said
"Seven-tenths OF the taxes are paid
East of the Mississippi and North of
the Ohio" He favored more and
higher taxes. he said, to provide war
funds, but the taxes should be made
general to affect all parts of the coun-
try equally. He warned the House he
was through with voting for other
methods of raising revenue. Debate
was blocked when Chairman Kitchin
7 brought in a rule covering the confer
enCe.
Speaker Clark appointed Chairman
! kitchin and Representatives Rainey,
Dixon. Fordney and Moore to meet
the Senate conferees. The first con-
ference probably will be held Friday.
