IF ANY MAN CAN KEEP
THIS COUNTRY OUT OFWAR,
IT'S WOODROW WILSON AND
HE is OF THE JOB.
NEW REVENUE BILL.
BY what was practically a party
vote, the House has passed an
other revenue bill.
The title of the measure frank
ly states that the money is need
ed to meet the increased cost of
preparedness" and that is liter
ally true. Our army and navy
are costing us now approximate
ly five hundred million dollars a
year more than they did before
the European war. This money
must bessecured somewhere.
Both parties are agreed as to
that. The Republicans say it
should be raised by a tariff and
the sale of bonds. The Demo-
Gratis insist that the burden should
be borne by the wealth of the
country. To that end we passed
income and Inheritance taxes be-
for the last election and in this
latest bill we increase the inheri
tance tax by fifty per cent and
create a new tax. known as the
excess profits tax.
EXCESS PROFITS" TAX.
think Lloyd George, the great
premier of England, discovered
the ''excss-brofits" tax. and it
has been adopted by various Eu-
ropean countries. It provides
that corporations and co-partner-
ships which earns more than a
certain.percentage Of their capital
shall give a part of the excess to
the government. In Europe the
tax has been applied in drastic
fashion but our new revenue bill
presents it in milder form.
American corporations and CO.
partnerships viii frs t OF all be
allowed to earn $1,000 a year
above all expenses salraies, tax
es. interest. etc.-and eight per
cent on their total capital. sur
plus and undiv.ded profits Then
they will be compelled to give
Urcle Sam eight per cent or one
twelfth, of the profits in excess
of the eight per cent and S., 200
exemption.
Here's an example: A bank in
Fowler has S1OO, 900 capital and
surplus and undivided profits
amounting to $4,000. Under
the new law, this concern would
be permitted to earn SIT, 900 be-
fore it would pay penny of the
excess profits" tax. This would
be seventeen per cent on the
banks original capital or more
than IL per cent on capital, sur
plus and undivide ].
II your savings were earnings
from 13 to II per cents would,t
you be willing to pay II small tax
on what you made above tn ose
figures?
The new tax will not apply to
individuals or CO. partnerships en-
gagged in agriculture. They will
be reached by the income tax.
The concerns principally affect
ed are the big corporations which
have been wallowing in war
profits. In some instances they
have made more than 100 per
cent on the capital invested and
should be compelled to disgorge.
It is estimated that the new
tax will produce about S220. 900,
600 a year. This means that the
s'excess profits" of corporations
and co-partnerships in this county
reached the stupendous total of
three billions of dollars each

FOOD SUPPLY OF
 ENGLAND ASSURED
 FOR ENTIRE YEAR
This Is Statement of Retir- ing Director General of Economy, Who Says
 Situation Better

London, July 21-Kennedy Jones, re- tiring director general of food econ omy, declared in an interview today that Englands food supply for the year was assured even if the present rate of shipping losses were maintained.
 Tn March" he said. "the shortage of tonnage. the partial failure of the worlds wheat crop and the submarine depredations combined for disaster. The situation was serious. We had nine weeks supplies of breadstuffs
 To-day through the voluntary CO., operation of the people 1t is certain we will be able to start the new cereal year with nearly seven months stocks, which. together with the enormous po- tato crop coming into the market, will make next years situation mere question of whether in 12 months we will be able to import five months, supplies.
 Even if the sinkings continued at the present rate. this should not be difficult because of the new tonnage which will become available next month here and in America.
 "The problem of March was one of supplies. The problem now is merely that of prices and distribution. I be- lieve the economy taught the people will be permanent. Compulsory ration ing has been ma e unnecessary by the patriotism and the cooperation of the people"
