MATE PUTS TAX

Principal Items in Revenue Measure

{By Basil NJ. Manky.)

Washington, Aug. 14.-Interest in
the revenue bill just reported by the
finance committee Of the senate after
ten weeks Of dawdling, centers in one
big question: Do the taxes hit the rich
OF the poor.
What are the facts? How nearly
has the senate measured up to its
great duty of distributing squitably
the great burden Of war eeat?
Except for income and war profit
taxes, all the items in the senate rev.
enue bill fails upon the consuming
public the 9s,o00,oo0 struggling
against high cost of living.
The senate committee prides Itself
on it's claim that /. has distributed
the burden 50-5o-half on the rich and
half on the consuming poor. But
Great Britain gets two-thirds of her
revenue from incomes and war pro-
fts, as compared with the half which
the senate proposes.
And of this half claimed by the sea-
ate committee to be laid ON the broad
shoulders Of wealth, s360,s08,o0o Is

feet knoTs is. Simply passed OF to the
