through increased taxes, bonds, and
notes.
The tax of per cent on profits of
corporations is the foremost feature
OF the legislation. This would raise
$226, 100000. The sum of $4,000, 900
will be raised by increased inheritance
taxes.
An increase of s1OO,OOO.OOO is pro.
vided in the present authorization to
the Secretary of the Treasury for the
issue OF short-term Treasury certifi-
Gates or notes. A bond issue of $780,
600. 900 additional is authorized.
A feature of the discussion yester'
day was the debate on the proposed 2
cent tax on Oleomargarine. This was
the Underwood amendment. II was
bitterly opposed by Senators having
dairy interests in their States, anc
finally was beaten by heavy vote.
Senator La Toilette spoke at
length against the excess profits tax,
declaring the corporations would pass
the tax on to the consumers.

FOOD PRICES CUT
Reduced Buying and Lent Has
Marked Effect.

washington housewives could, by
not using the higher priced foods. re-
duce the cost of living" stated
wholesale dealer today.
The drop in the price of live calves
from 121s and 13 cents yesterday to
10 and IL cents was given as author
ity for the statement today. 1t was
stated that from several causes. the
observance of Lent being among
them, the use of meat was consider
ably reduced this week. Before this
week, IA and 10 cents a pound for
live calves was considered only fair
price.
Hundreds of women here have been
substituting rice for potatoes for
some time. The practice is still
growing. As persons acquire a taste
for rice, the sale grows, dealers state.
One dealer said that he has been sell
ing five times as much rice as former
ly.
The wholesale price of potatoes
again dropped slightly today. The
arrival of several consignments of
tubers guaranteed former statements
that inaugural prices will be no
higher.
Potatoes were selling at from $3.50
to $3.50 a barrel of ten pecks today.
Yesterdays price was from 81 to
$3.50
Eggs also are showing a tendency
to drop in price. The best eggs
brought 30 cents a dozen wholesale
against 80 yesterday. Live hens
dropped to IS cents a pound, l cent
cheaper than yesterday.

Sad, sad words these to the habitues

sorrow as a result. Long ago when
scores of lunch rooms raised the price

admitted that there was danger of

U-BoATS TO SPARE NONE
German Papers Say Fog Saved Or
leans From Laconia's Fate.

AMSTERDAM, March mo dis
tinction is to be made by German
submarines in sinking neutral ships
in the barred zone. and the fact that
the American steamer Orleans safe
ly passed through the danger section
is not to be attributed to any with
holding of Germany's weapon. Berlin
newspapers received here today made
this clear. nearly all quoting Secre-
tary Zimmerman as asserting:
I'VE make absolutely no distinction.
Our determination is unshaken, since
that is the only way to finish the war
this summer"
The Berlin newspapers assumed
that fogs hindered operation of the
submarines.
The fact that the Laconia was sunk
at night, was referred to as indicat-
ing the adaptability of submarines
and the difficulty vessels will have
in escaping them.
