War Tax Bill Reported
In The Senate Today;
Carries Largest Tax
Budget In History

on incomes and excess prohes your
committee kept constantly in mind
the fact that the amount of revenue
derived from these sources would de-
pend upon the prosperity and activ-
ity of business and that to impose
taxes which would tend to discour-
age enterprise and dampen these ac-
tivities would tend to defeat the leg
islative purpose. Moreover, it
comes and excess profits were fixed
at the highest level there might be
but little margin left for further in
creases in rates.
The report defends the elimination
of the sO-called Lenroot sur-taXes on
incomes of over $4,000 added in
the House, designed to raise $685.
oCO, 900 as follows:
'In view Of the fact that in addi-
tion to the large increase in the
normal tax and surtaXes upon in
comes, the bill provides for a large
increase in the war profits tax of
corporations and partnerships and
includes individuals in the scope OF
that tax, and in view of the rroba
bility that II will be necessary here
after to further increase these rates
in order to provide for increased war
expenditures, your committee be
lieves that for the present it is in
advisable to increase the surtax rates
beyond those proposed in the orig
inal House bill.
Regarding the elimination cf the
House retroactive income taxes on
1916 incomes, which would have
produced tlOa0oo,0Oo, the report
ated:
This tax seemed in principle
botn morally and economically un-
sound Incomes of the last year have
Paid their taxes and the balance has
either been spent or saved and added
to capital, in which form 1t will
yield returns in the ensuing years
To tax this tax-paid income again
is not only double taxation of pc
culiarly obnoxious kind but would
possibly compel a taxpayer to impair
his capital and thus diminish gov
ernment sources of taxation. 1t
would be one of those disturbing
taxes which would alarm business
and check Industrial productivity. 1t
is very poor economy and would
hold out a threat of uncertainty
In recommending the graduated
war profits tax upon individuals as
well as corporations in lieu C. the
present per cent excess profits law,
the committee said its plan is similar
to that Of European counties, where
1t has had marked success.
1--WE must face the possibility. ev-
en- the probability" the report stat
ed, "of even higher taxes than are
now proposed in this country and we
must adjust our system so that it
will work satisfactorily even under
Increased rates. Your committee has

son and Hon. L. C. Johnson, of
Bartow, and they put up stubborn
fight, contesting every point with
persistency and energy which we
consider worthy of a better cause.
1t is seldom that the courts of this
section have been the scene of a more
strongly contested legal battle.

REALLY MUST YOU GO?

Back to Lunnon. Mr.. Fog" the
wish of many a local citizen during
the past few days, has been granted
and once the sun has gladdened
all hearts with it's sbright radiance.
The fog that made London famous,
and also d~isagreeable, which has pre-
vailed ipl and about East Grand Forks
for several days past, has at last
picked up and went and all are
thankful for that, for the "~gooeyness''
of the streets recently has made ped
estrian and motorist thoroughly dis
gusted.
Sunday and Monday nights all were
above the clouds as far as sensations
go. except that the novelty Dol wore
Off. The citizens of East Grand
Forks are not in the least hospitable
when fogs and four foot snow drifts
come a-visting.
The high humidity. together with
temperature ranges have been blamed
for the misty condition which pre-
vailed over the central west accord
ing to the weather bureau.
