TOF|N|SH DRAFT
OF WAR TAXB
BY TOMORROW
Ways and Means Committee
Now Discussing Economic
Principle Involved.
Especial From a STAFF Correspondent Of The
Evening WOrld)


WASHINGTON, April 80. - In
finance problems the House Com
mittee on Ways and Means con-
tinued to-day Its struggle in execu-
tive session over new revenue tar
measures. The discussion in com
mittee has now gone beyond rates
ana amounts and taken on the phase
OF an economic principle over which
there IL radical difference OF opinion
both among politicians and scientific
economists.
Two conflicting schools have arisen.
One contends that business making
large profits. particularly out OF war
conditions. should be made to pay
UP 70 the limit. The other school
holds that heavy taxes should not be
levied on business direct, because OF
danger OF checking enterprise and
slowing down industry at the very
time II is most needed. but rather
laid indirectly upon incomes derived
from that business.
Professors OF economy In two lead
ing universities have lined uup on
opposite sides OF those questions.
Those OF Yale demand heavy excess
profit taxes on corporations Those
OF Columbia hold that It Is better 10
tax the beneficiaries OF business
rather than business itself
The sub b-oommittee which has been
drafting the measure expects to make
a report tomorrow to the full Ways
and Means Committee. which will
then discuss tho problem for some
time longer.
In addition 20 IDS specific subject
there Is the larger question Of de-
termining whether the war Is to be
financed principally by taxes lovied
on the present generation. or by bono
issue, which future generations viii
have to help pay.
Suggestion was made to-day II

might defer definite action and TAX,

principles were being threshed out II

first to have been cxpurgated there,
but announcement was made to-day
that the Department had merely lent
It's stenographic machinery TO tho

had nothing to do with chagiug a

Viviani and Marshal Joffre we're
to have made a visit to tho Capitol
to-day to meet Senators and Repre-
sentatlves. but at the last moment
the visit was postponed until later
IN the week.
Mr.. BalfOur spent the morning in
conference with Sir Joseph Pope OF
Canada. The problems Canada has
faced both in raising an army and In
industrial and agricultural mObiliZa-
ton were similar to those now facing
this country, and Canadian expert
ence would have great value IN aiding
American officials. The two greatest
questions probably are the increase
OF food exports and OF shipping ton
mage.
Chicago's invitation 60 members OF
the British and French missions 20
visit that city. was presented to-day
by Senator Lewis, and submitted 10
the commissioner by the state De-
partment.
Cuba's Military Commission ar
river here to-day to discuss co-ord-
nation OF Cuban forces and resources
with those Of the United states. The
four members were met by represent
atives OF the War and Navy de-
partments.
Because there Is in the Cuban Com
mission none OF the diplomatic ele'
ment that characterizes the French
and British missions, there was q
little ceremony in It's reception.
The members OF the commission
are: Gen. Jole Martlsy Iayas Bazan
