the beginning of hostilities, which, it
is pointed out, is an absolute impossl-

The humanitarian reasons for the
pope's action are admitted and appre'
ciated, but they are considered short
sighted, as it is stated that the peace
proposed is so unstable as not to guar
antee its duration beyond the time
necessary for the belligerents to re-
cover from the wastage of this war
and prepare for another. 1t is stated
that the real interests of humanity re-
quire a decisive result in this war

Washington, Aug. 17.-Dispo,;ition
by the senate today of many uncon
tested provisions of the $2,0O6,O00,'

way for the sharp fight which probably

war profits taxes.
Automobile Owners to Pay Tax
F. Among important features disposed
of during the day were the wine and
motor vehicle schedules. The rev1slons
of the finance committee levying be-
tween 100000 and $50,O0O,000 on
owners of motor vehicles instead OF
S6S,OOO, goo on manufacturers as pro-
posed by the house bill, were adopted,
as were the increased rates on wines,
estimated to raise 21,000,0OO against
$6,O0O,0OO under the house rates.
House provisions levying a s. per
cent tax upon gross sales of many
manufactures and designed to raise
Sis, $50 900 also were formally elimi-
mated, the new automobile and other
reduced excise taxes being submitted.
The senate also accepts the finance
committees action in striking out the
house provision for additional federal
taxation of inheritances.
Cars Used for Business Exempt
An amendment to the automobile
section suggested by Senator Knox
and adopted, imposes surtax of $40
for each $500 value on cars costing
more than $4,000. AS accepted, the
section now provides the following mo.
tor vehicle taxes, payable by owners
of those not used exclusively for bust
ness purposes:
Motorcycles, $3.50. Automobiles cost
ing under $500, SIS annually; costing
between $500 and $3.50, $3.50; costing
between $3.50 and $1,000, $40; with IS
additional for each $500 up to $4,000
and $40 for each $500 above $4,000.
The tax based upon original list
price will be reduced by 10 per cent
for each years use of the machine up
to a gross allowance of so per cent.
Auto Owners Able to Pay Tax
Senator Smoot said that the motor
tax would fall on those able to bear it.
Any person using an automobile with
present prices of gasoline and supplies,
he declared, can we'll afford the tax.
Senator Kirby objected to the trans
Ter of the tax from automobile manu-
tacturers to owners, declaring the au-
tomobile industry is mere profitable
than any other except munitions:
Senator McCumber of the finance
committee replied that majority OF
the Committee preferred tax on
manufactu but could not devise a
plan to impose it equitably, as many
automobile manufacturers were max
ing small or no profits and only few
large returns.
The proposed special tax on pub
1ishers' incomes and the increase In
second class postage rates, were de-
hated at length today, but action was
deferred, probably until next week.
