HOUSE COMMITTEE PREPARES
WAR BILL TO RAISE BILLION
AND HALF DOLLARS.
LOWER INCOME EXEMPTION
Increase Of Excess Profits Tax 10 An.
other Proposal Of subcommittee
Increase Taxes on Liquor, Beer, To-
baccos, Soft Drinks, Freight and Pas
senaer Traffic, etc.

Washington.-A war revenue meas
ure designed to raise not less than
81, 500, ,000,0 900 by direct taxes during
the coming year was reported to the
House Ways and Means Committee
Tuesday by a subcommittee which
had been drafting the bill in secret
sessions.
Reduction of the income tax exemp'
rions from $4,000 and $4,000 to $1,000
and $4,000 for single and married per-
sons, respectively, and an increase OF
the excess profits tax from eight per
cent on all amounts over eight per
cent and $4,000 to sixteen per cent
are two of the sub-committee's pro.
posals.
The tentative bill also carries in
creased taxes on liquor, beer, cigars
cigarettes and tobacco, new taxes on
automobiles, soft drinks, ammunition
places, freight and passenger tarlnc
and stamp tax Of wide scope. Much
of the bill follows the lines suggested
by Secretary McAdoo, but many OF
the most important proposals are re-
jected.
The total Of the propose ed bill falls
millions of dollars short OF the orig
inal figure Of s1,S00,0OO,0O0 to be de-
rived from taxes this year.
Fordney Responsible.
Opposition of Representative Ford
ney, of Michigan, ranking Republican
member Of the committee, to raising
more than s1,OOO,OOO,OOO by direct
taxes is largely responsible for this
situation.
A bitter fight on the bill in full
committee is certain. Resentment
among some members aroused by the
prolonged executive meetings Of the
committee, coupled with vigorous op-
position to the income and excess
profits tax proposals. make storms In
evitable.
A new cloud also has appeared In
the threat of Republican member to
demand doubling of the present one
cent duty on sugar.
Secrecy, which has marked sub.com-
mittee conferences, will rule in the
full committee. Unprecedented safe
CARDS are being established against
leaks" Only one copy Of the tenta-
tive bill 90 laWmitteeman has

LESSON

the Sunday School Course In the Moody
Bible Institute of Chicago.)

LESSON FOR MAY 6
JESUS THE SERVANT OF ALL.

LESSON TEXT-John 13:1-15.
GOLDEN TEXT-And whosoever Of you
will be the chiefest, shall be servant Of
all.-Mk. 1914.
This lesson Is really a continuation
Of the latter part Of the lesson Of last
week, for the glory Of Jesus is his un-
sel1shness whereby he wrought out re-
demption for mankind.
I. seIAshness Amid Holy Surround.
inos wv. 1-1D. The world does not
appreciate Jesus. 1t never has. "His
own" the Jews, did not appreciate
him. We are considering him today
as he was about to depart from the
world that had despised and rejected
him to one that appreciated him (Heb.
1-6. The development. Verse 2
tells Of the Satanic suggestion that
came tU the heart Of Judas. In 1t was
personal desire, and, connected with 1t,
human conspiracy. The coming to
this UPPER room has been pointed out
by man bearing a pitcher (SIk.
14:12-16), the pitcher being suggestive
Of the Holy Spirit WHICH was about to
come in the place of the visible Christ,
and 1t Is in the midst of such sacred
surroundings as this that Satan enters
the hearts Of students. This Is a sug.
gestion as to the power Of environment.
Environment Is an aid, but it does not
produce effective safety. No moment
Is too holy for Satanic suggestion.
Jesus knew that the hour was come
when he was to depart out Of the
world. "Havlng loved his own, he
loved them to the end" Even though
the Father had given all things into
his hands, still 1t was necessary for
him to teach the disciples once more,
and finally, the lesson Of humility. He
knew and remembered the strife
among the disciples Uuke % :24-2S).
Doctor Bonard's famous dream, analyz-
Ing zeal as being made up Of alnbi.
tion, pride and elements other than
the love Of God Is worthy Of consid.
Grafton in this connection. We need
to realize the danger Of selfshness
even in our service for God. Have we
examined our motives? If the con-
sequences Of our superiority, either of
rank or ability, tempts US to shirk the
lowliest Of services, 1t is time for
Gods children to recall this scene, and
remember that "the servant is not
greater than his Lord" Peters strong
protest ". 81 brings out the fact that
the washing by Christ of the dis.
ciples' feet was deeper than
merely the outward application
Of water (See Rom. 8:9).

ICE COMPANY CURES
MEAT IN KlsslMMEE

The Kissimmee Ice Company ope-
rates a plant where hogs killed by
the farmers round about are cured
and smoked at a nominal price. The
product is said to be equal to the
best Western meat and the fact that
they can have their meat properly
cured at home Is encouraging the
farmers to fatten more hogs. One
farmer says his meat was so excel
lent that he was offered thirty-fivc
cents a pound for it. This farmer,
Pat Johnston, says in letter pub
lished in the Kissimmee Valley-Ga-
zctte, addressed to the ice company:
"As soon as my hogs fatten | expect
to give you thousand to twelve
aundred and fifty pounds to cure
am only too glad TO speak good
word for the wrk you are doing and
believe that this is the best thing
fer the farmer we have in the coun'
ty. for It enables him to kill his
hogs whenever they are ready and
by turning them over to you and pay
ing you practically nominal sum
they get the same class of meat thai
they could get from the stores al
from eighteen to thirty-five cents &
pound Jacksonville Union,

WOMEN TAKE UP LAW
War Conditions Make Way for Them
:. at Georgia Bar

Atlanta, Aug. Now that Geor'
eia has given women the opportun-
ity. and war conditions are calling
for women to take the places OF men,
II looks as IL the Georgia bar would
soon begin to claim it's full share of
them.
Information comes that Georgia
law schools which have provision
for co-education, are receiving more
applications from women, incident 10
the approaching fall term, than ever
before in their history. This is par
ticularly true of the Atlanta Law
Schooly which has always been open
to women students, and the persist
erce of whise young women gradu-
ates was, perhaps, more Responsible
than anything else for finally getting
through the Legislature the Georgia
law admitting women to the bar.
Fully twenty-five per cent of the
advance applications for fall admiS'
sior to the Atlanta Law School, are
from young women who are eager
and enthusiastic about it. 1t is re-
ported that conditions are similar
with many other institutions. whicp
are open to women.
Within the next two years, the Pc
riod usually required to secure
legal diploma, it is evident there VIII
he material increase in the numpe:
of women lawyers practicing at the
Georgia bar. The time is soon com
ing when the appearance in the
court room of the woman practition-
er, who according to court ruiins
may keep on her hat, will create NJ
surprise or concern.

STEAMSHIP OWNERS ARE
:. WARNED AGAINST FAKERS

Jacksonville, Aug. Letters
are being mailed to steamship com
banies all over the United States
warning them that men are given
permission to inspect machinery and
cargoes Of boats that are not author
ized. Several complaints have been
made to the government and means
are to be takn to stop the inspecting.
The letter, which is signed by Jo-
sephus Daniels, is as follows:
!. Information has reached the de-
partment that numerous self-stiled
agents, brokers and other unauthor
lied persons are interviewing owners
of vessels under the guise of being
representatives of the government
Q. In certain cases owners have
gone to considerable trouble and ex-
pense to allow such persons to in
spect their vessels, hauling fires to
GLOW the boilers to be examined, or
putting their vessels, on the ways tn
permit of inspection of the hulls.
8. Commandants will give the
widest publicity to the fact that the
government, in accordance with act
of Congress approved August 30
1916, will not deal with any but the
regular owners or with their regu-
larIy designated agents.
