SENATORS AGREE TO REVISE
PRESENT WAR REVENUE BILL
TO PROVIDE MORE MONEY.
TO RAISE s23O,OOO,O0O
CoNFEREEs AGREE ON MINIMUM
PRICE OF TWO DOLLARS PER
BUsHEL FOR WHEAT.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington. Senate finance
committee reached a tentative agree
ment Saturday to revise the present
$1,670, 100000 war tax bill so as to
raise at least $1,943, 100000, the larger
part of the increase to come from high
er income taxes.
Members of the committee said it is
possible the total of the bill before it
gets to the Senate will be $2,OOO,OOO,-
900. According to the present plan
about $230,000,000 of the increase Will
be obtained through higher income tax
rates-$70, 100000 from individuals,
and the rest from corporations.
The committee fixed on an increase
in the normal rate on individuals from
two to five per cent. and on corpora
tions to six per cent.
The rest of the increase may be OBJ
tanned by increasing the excess prof
its tax and by consumption taxes on
sugar, tea, coffee and cocoa.
Under the program $1,O62, 100000
would be the total levy this year
upon incomes. The present law yields
$500, 100000, the pending bill original
ly was designed to increase this by
$532, 100000 and the $3.50, 100000 addi-
tional it is now proposed to levy
would raise it over the billion mark.
The Senate committee will confine
its work for the present to the pres
ent war tax bill and will leave to the
house the task of raising the rest OF
the $70OO,0O0,000 the administration
believes it must have to prosecute the
war this year
Conferees on the administration food
control bill failed Saturday night to
reach final agreement on the meas
ure and adjourned to meet again.
Earlier in the day the conferees
smoothed out their differences on a
prohibition provision; agreed to the
section fixing 50 minimum per bush
| ell for wheat, and met again to con
slider the two big points left in dis
pute, the question of whether food
control shall be exercised by one man
or a board of three, and the Senate
section creating a joint congressional
committee on the conduct of the war
The prohibition provision approved
provides that thirty days after the
bill becomes law no person shall use
any foods, fruits, food materials OF
feeds in the production of any dis
titled spirits for beverage purposes
with a separate stipulation that the
prohibition shall not apply to the for
tification of sweet wines.
