M'ADOO TELLS HIS
FINANCIAL PLANS
Outlines Needs for War Before
Senate Committee and
His Proposal.
tcontinnued from First Paee.) }

diversity of opinion today, however,
regarding the taxation legislation
that Is to follow.
One member Of the Ways and Means
Committee today made the pessimis-
tic observation that ait seems to me
everything will be taxed before we
get through with this. There are a
thousand things being considered"
Radical Boost Sure.
1t is reasonably certain there will
be a radical boost in the rates Of the
income tax, the inheritance tax, and
the excess profits tax. The commit
tee members are divided as to the
feasibility of levying additional taxes
on the production OF munitions. Some
Of the Democrats are said to favor
hitting the munitions makers again:
others argue what good will this do
IL they are selling supplies to the
Government?"
Tire tentative tax list now being
considered informally by members of
the Ways and Means Committee en-
braces articles ranging from break
fast table luxuries to sixteen-inch
shells. 1t is realized that direct taxa
tion must be resorted to II the vast
sums needed are to be supplied. and
little can be accomplished by the re-
vision OF import duties during the
period of world disturbance.
Here are some of. the suggestions
being considered by members OF the
Ways and Means Committee which
will begin next week the framing Of
probably the most important and far
reaching tax bill ever reported:
Some OF the Plans.
Consumption taxes on tea, sugar,
and coffee; additional levies on wine,
beer, whisky, and tobacco; taxes on
soft drinks and. all~soda fountain bev-
erages; levies on automobiles, phono-
graphs and records, amusement
places, telephone and telegraph mes
sages, billboard. and other adver-
tising.
That It will be necessary to revive
many of the stamp taxes of the Span
ish-American war period Is practical
ly certain. Excess profits, inheritances
and large incomes cannot raise all OF
the money needed and Congress- must
not enact class Legislation to the ex-
tent that it may be criticised for
placing all OF the tax burden upon
the rich.
Majority Leader Kitchin said today
II probably would require two weeks
to frame the tax bill, and meanwhile
suggestions are being received. from
every source from the Secretary of
the Treasury to new members Of
Congress.
1t was pointed out today that Ger
many's reported overtures might be
of so informal" a nature that the
State Department might very well
claim lack OF any official basis for
such reports. Previous peace feel
ers" by Germany have always been
put out in such intangible shape that
they have first reached other govern
ments, usually in the form OF mere
reports without any official character.

FLOWERS FOR THE LIVING.
Father of Julius ScEioss Warmly
Enlogized by Memphis PAPER.

Under the heading Gossip About
Men and Things Genalally,' a Mem
phis paper recently published a warm
eulogy of "Uncle Sam" .Schloss,
father of Julius schloas Of the Isaac
Dreyfus company Of Pine Bluff. The
article follows:
Uncle Sam SchIoss. But if every
body knows him as good citizen AMI
good business man, only, the Jews
Of Memphis know him also as a good
Jew in the full meanins Of the wore.
'For nearly siXtyfive years Sam
Schloss has been identified with every
Jewish movement that has been in-
stituted in Memphis. Even before
there was a regularly organized con-
gregatlon here, he assisted the pion
Ger Jews Of Memphis III overcoming
many obstacles. and in assisting them
by his indominitable energy in law
ing the foundation of what is now
one OF the most substantial Jewish
communities in the South. When the
present congregation children of
Israel was merely a project Samuel
Schloss assisted in the organization
of a Hebrew Sabbath school, and
even taught that Sabbath school.
"This is only one example illustrat-
ing his activity. He is the only liv-
ing chatter member Of Memphis lodge
no. 50 I. O. B. B. AMI many Other
institutions of Memphis, some now
extinct, have had his valuable assist
ance.
"To Sam schloss, everything that
is Jewish, and that is human, is deor
TO him and the welfare Of Israel is al
ways uppermost in his mind. Thee,
fore Sam Schloss is so popular and
so beloved by all classes. If every
community had more Jews like Sam
Schloss. and if more of our Jewish
people could instill some of his Jew
ishness into them Israel and the
world at large would be far better
off"
