Washington.-''The most remarkable
session in the parliamentary history
of the world" was the way Demo-
cratic and Republican leaders charac
ferized the first war session of the
Sixty-fifth congress, which came to a
close ut three o'clock In the afternoon
of October 6, exactly six months after
the declaration of war against Ger
many.
The record of legislation enacted
and money appropriated has no paral-
lei anywhere in the annals of all time.
Beginning with the declaration of
war against Germany in April, con-
greSs has passed bill after bill of the
most revolutionary character, includ-
ing such measures as the draft bill
and the food control bill. ApprOpria-
lions and contract authorizations for
the present fiscal year, tOtalling $21,-
10000, 600, including $7,O00,000,000 in
loans to the allies, were voted with
out single dissenting voice, a record
equalled nowhere, not even In the
kaiser-dOminated German reichstag.
How Money Is Expended.
The following table shows how the
money Is to be spent:

child in the United States. Something
more than a billion dollars Of this
amount willibe taken from war profits.
All incomes more than 81 900 for sin
gle men and more than $4,000 for mar
ried men are made subject to taxation.
Where New Taxes Fall.

the average citizen will pay taxes un-
der the new war tax bill:
Approximately per cent increase

Little Diseension During Session.
Dpspitc pacifsr activities, the ses.
sion was marked with comparatively
little dissension, the fighting centering
about questions mainly affecting poll
icy. The most stubborn contests were
staged over the revenue bill. the draft
bill and the food control bill. In ev-

TO the needs of 9TH, thousands of pco-

small fixed incomes"
These people, tho appeal said.
comprise n large percentage Of he
residents OF New York. To them. the
%'cat increase in the cost of living has
become matter of a very serious
concern.
They are not actually starving. but
because of the very high prices Of food
they are, in most eases. unable to get
as much food as they really need.
They do not want charity. but they
do want an opportunity to buy Il suf-
fcicnt amount Of good. wholesome food
at reasonable prices! In many cases
their incomes have remained more or
loss stationary, while the price of food
has gone up tremendously"
1t was asserted that in many homes.
hotels, restaurants and clubs a large
amount Of food is not only wasted.
but, in countless cases, more food is
eaten thnn is necessary by people who
have ample funds"
