WASHINGTON, April 15.-Admin istration suggestions as to possible new sources of taxation through which to raise approximately one half of the estimated cost of the first year'of the war, or $1,S07, ,250 900, were submitted by Secretary McAdoo tonight to the senate finance committee and the house ways and means committee. The other halfxof the cost is to be pro- vided by $2,o6O, 600, 900 of the bonds au thoriZed by the war revenue bill.
 Outstanding in the suggestions are greatly increased income and excess profit tax rates, taxing of many inn portant articles now admitted free and stamp, liquor. amusement, sugar, cof- fee tobacco, soft drinks. freight and passenger transportation receipts and automobile taxes. All of the data is sent to congress for it's information and without recommendations.
 Probably the most far reaching pro posal concerns income taxes. The sec retary estimates that q fifty per cent increase on both individuals and cor porations for 1916, collectable next June, would yield $165000, 900 addition al. For 1917 he points out that to lower income tax exemptions from $3,OO0 to $l 300 for unmarried persons. from
 
 leave the normal tax at two per cent, but to raise the supertaXes materially would make the law produce $340,0 = 900 additional in June l9lS without changing the corporation tax. Highest rate on supertaXes under the plan out lined would be forty per cent of all in comes over $1.000,000.
 Increases in the excess profit tax both by making the present law ap- plicable to the calendar year of 1916 and applying new increases next year, he thinks, would raise $226, 100000 this year and $200, 900 additional next year.
