BILLIONS ADDED
TO WAR TAX

AntagoniSm To Drastic Advance
In Excess Tax Rate On War
Profits and Incomes Is Grow

ASSOCIATED Press by U. s. Naval Com
munication SerVice)

WASHINGTON, August 30 1t is
now regarded as practically certain
that the War Tax Bill now before con,
gress is to be amended to increase the
total levy above two billion six hundred
million dollars. The exact amount which
is to be raised by the measure has
not yet, however, been fixed.
Antagonism to any drastic advance
in the excess tax rate to be levied on
war profits and incomes Is growing in
congress aud it is regarded as practi.
calIy certain that proposed advances
long this line will be bitterly fought
by certain senators and representatives.
Amendments now being considered
contemplate very material advance in
the amount of war profits to be taken
by the government and in excess taxes
on large incomes Since the amend.
ments were first proposed there has
been very active opposition to them
and this opposition threatens to prolon.
