STINCS PACIFISTS
Socialist Leader DenOunces
Party as "PrO-Germans."
Party Now Ruined: Peace
Propaganda Is Treason.

Washington. Aug. troused by
the pacifist meeting yestel day in the
capitol, Charles Edward Russell. for
mer Socialist and now member of the
returned commission to Russia, today
denounced all persons proposing peace
at this time or failing in answering
support of the administration. Mr.
Russell was particularly severe in his
criticism of Socialists and members of
congress aiding the peace propaganda
Incidentally he declared. as a re-
suit of peace activities in he United
States Socialists have absolutely
ruined their party. Mr.. Russell said
the party now consists of little more
than an alien pro-German element
The men who were in it Tor such up
lift as they could bring to Re working
people, he said. must seek elsewhere
for political affiliation.
Autocracy's Final Struggle.
lone peace resolution offered in the
United States congress today is
greater asset to the kaiser than
thousand men on the firing line" Mr.
Russell said. ANY Socialist that does
not understand that this is the last
final decisive struggle between autoc-
racy and democracy is too blind or too
dull to understand anything about
Socialism.
Loyalty to the United States gov
eminent in this crisis is loyalty to
every ideal of Improvement to which
we have subscribed and lack of sup
port is treason to every article or
every creed of reform.
Ignorant or Traitors.
IF the men who are talking this
most peculiar peace stuff are ignorant
of the effect of their work they are
too hopelessly ignorant to be allowed
to take any part in public life and
should be retired from it instantly. If
they are not ignorant of the effect of
their work they are conscious traitors
and should have at once the prompt
attention of the nearest United States
attorney"
The colonial situation alone is suf-
ficient at this time to prevent peace
Mr. Russell declared. England has
promised Australia and New Zealand
that Germany will be driven from the
Pacific, he said. and Germany cannot
afford to make peace until she is as
sured that some of her colonies will
be returned.

Senator Says Senate Tax Bill
Preferable to House.

Washington, Aug. lon opening
senate debate on the $2.OO6,9 1O,O 900
war tax bill today, Senator Simmons,
chairman of the finance committee
declared the committees purpose in
revising the house bill was to raise
sufficient federal revenues for extra
expenses without injustice to rich or
poor. individual or corporation and
without injuring sources from which
the new and future taxes must come.

proposes to raise larger proportion
of war revenues by direct taxation
and less by bonds, distributing the
war burden between the present and
future genera tons. He pointed out
that nearly S1,400,O0O,00O of the new
war taxes are to be obtained from in
comes and war profits alone with
over $200,000,000 more from intoxi-
cants.

Before the war continued Sena-
tor Simmons. ''our total expenditures
were between s700,000,000 and $780,
100000 exclusive of postal costs. 1t
is evident that the expenditures dur
ing this fiscal year will reach some
thing like ten billion dollars. These
conditions suggest incomes and war
profits, as the chief and just source
of revenue to defray the expenses of
the war. Apparently the house did
not take this view. AS the war profits

100000, 900 from war excess profits
in the bill. estimated to raise $780,
600, 900 does not meet the situation.
Your committee thought that the
equities of the situation required at
| least one half of the sum proposed to
be raised should be drawn from in
comes and excess profits
Senator Simmons submitted Stats
tics said to have been compiled by
j. P Morgan Co, showing that forty
five great corporations alone will nay,
under the proposed committee re-
vision, war profit taxes of $231,977, 900
