den on Consumers.

900. the war revenue bill is undergo
ing its finishing touches in the senate
finance committee today
Meantime the first rUmblings of the
forthcoming fight against the commit
tee draft on the senate floor took form
today.
The bill as drawn adds materially
to the burden on the shoulders or the
poor, while so far the incomes OF the
rich are shown the greatest soilclta-
tions. Millions are to be raised IN
stamp, excise and consumers taxes on
tea and cocoa
Commodities such as jewelry escape
entirely.
Draft on the incomes of the rich
has been no increase on inheritance
taxes, approved by the committee
Many western senators today said they
will make a floor fight against the
excise tax on sugar. tea, ETC. They
believe there should be a surtax on
incomes over $4,000. This was elm
mated from the house bill by the SEN
ate committee
Interferes With State Tax
Some eastern senators, however, in
sist that the surtax and also inher1-
lance tax should be kept out because
otherwise the states Will nave prdcu-
cally nothing left to tax for their in
dividual use.
These eastern senators, most of
whom oppose the ''pay-as-you-go
idea and who prefer to let coming
generations bear years of financial
war burdens, argue that there will be
between $500, 100000 and 100000
600 in bonds that can make up the
difference between the $500. 900, 600
proposed taxes in the house bill and
the $500, 100000 the senate finance
committee wants to reduce it to.
The additional $500, 100000 is nee
essary for the emergency shipping
