MINIsTRATIoN SAID TO BE

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-After
more than two years of pleading
for financial assistance, the Mexi-
can government has been assured
that American money can be Sc
cured. The American government has
finally conveyed the intimatiOn to
American bankers that Its faith
in the Carranza government has
grow to the extent that it feels
justified in extending moral endorse
ment of loan.
Officials Of the Mexican govern
ment have denied that any direct
effort had been made to obtain
loan in the United States, but Amer
lean bankers have been approached
repeatedly with the suggestion that
they finance the new government in
that country. and a more direct ef-
fort was made many months ago in
London.

wOlyLD TAX WAR PROFITS
Eighty PER CENT FOR THE WAR

The senator urged that huge war
profits and the incomes OF wealthy
persons. by higher taxes, be made
TO bear the burden.
Wealth has never yet sacrificed
itself on the altar of patriotism in
any war. On the contrary 1t has
ever shown itself eager to take ad-
vantage Of the misfortune which the
war brings tc the masses of the
people. This certainly is true Of the
present war"
He declared the Liberty loan
bonds were a poor investment to the
man Of small means in comparison
with the advantage which the owner
of large incomes could secure from
investing millions OF their taxable
incomes in these non-taxable bonds.
"The masses are being mortgaged
to the moneylenders by keeping
down taxes and increasing bonds" "
he said. "The loans to the allies
may not be paid Russia is in the
throes Of revolution and Italy Is
reported on the eve OF one" he
concluded.

approved invoking cloture. but Sen
ator Simmons plans soon to have a

said America youth had been con
scripted and that swollen fortunes
coined from the blood of the ma
ton also should be drafted. He
recommended that the government
take eighty per cent of war profits
as Great Britain does, and half
Of millionaires' incomes. Senator
Hollis, supporting the LaFollette-
Gore.Thomas minority report of the
finance committee for higher rates
on incomes and profits also advocat-
ed taking so TO 30 per cent of war
profits, but expressed the opinion
that the senate could not now be
induced to levy over so per cent.
The present bill is designed to as
sess about 26 per cent.
LaFolette introduced two amend
ments to the income tax section, on
behalf of the minority. One pro
posed an increase on surtaxes on
Incomes of between $4,000 and SAT-.
200 and maximum OF 3S per cent
on all over $47.5OO An alternative
amendment would have the prin-
cipal surtaxes apply to incomes of
from $4,000 to s17.5OO, with max
imum of SO per cent on those over
