Chairman of Foreign Rela-
tions Committee of Sen
ate Urges Action
VOTED AGAINST
WAR ON GERMANY
Now Has His Full Support
And He Wants Clean
Sweep Made

washington, Nov. 26.-Declara-
tions Of war against Austria, Turkey
and Bulgaria, Chairman Stone, of
the senate foreign relations commit
tee, declared today, seem exceeding
ly advisable to simplify a situation
now anomalous"
1--WE are in fact" said he, "now at
war with Germany's allies"
Senator stones only reservation
was that such action by congress
should be in harmony with the policy
OF the executive branch OF the gov
eminent. Although he voted against
the declaration of war on Germany,
Senator Stone has reiterated that the
war once begun has his whole sup
port. His statement today was TAX
en- as indicative OF the agitation for
war on Germany's allies which will
face congress- when 1t convenes a
week from today.
Il have understood that some, IL
not a large number OF Austrian
troops have been on the western
'front.', said Mr.. Stone. They may
now, or soon, be actually lighting
against the American forces, the two
forces firing at each other. Anyway,
the Austrians are desperately engag
ed with Italy, which is one of our
allies, just as much as France or
England.
To have war formally declared
against the German allies also, said
Senator Stone, would simplify mat
ters OF domestic concern, such as
measures to prevent espionage.
New or amended war tax legisla-
tion, according to Senator Stone, who
also is a member OF the senate finance
committee, should not be undertaken
until after q thorough survey OF the
situation. He said there was no
doubt that in many respects the new
war tax law can be improved and
probably win be. to remove inedual-
tiles and injustices. The session, he
predicted. would be a long one.

NJ 'ADOO suggests
NEW REVENUE taxes
Secretary Supplies FL
nance Committee With
Data for Raising Money
AGAIN HINTS ON
INHERITANCES

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-The Senate
leaders are preparing to take up the
work Of framing legislation to meet
the deficit in the revenues, threaten
cd for the fiscal year ending 1918.
Chairman Simmons Of the Finance
Committee says that Congress will
probably have to act at this session
to avoid an extra session. Their
work has gone so far already that
Secretary McAdoo has supplied the
committee with a memorandum show
ing possible sources of revenue. He
has not indicated what the committee
should do in the matter of electing
subjects for taxation. It Is significant
that he has not even hinted at another
rad on incomes nor has the Finance
Committee considered that as a legit
innate field for taxation, even to the
extent Of lowering the exemption for
which there IS q periodical agitation.
Secretary McAdoo has pointed the
way for increasing revenues to the
extent Of probably S20,000,000 by in
creasing the rate on inheritances
These are taxed / per cent when
more than $4,000 and by q graded
scale up to 10 per cent. when exceed
ing 100000
Would Add 500 100000.
The Secretary has pointed out that
an increase of the minimum OF one
( half OF ! per cent. on the lowest in
| heritances taxed and graded increases
up 10 10 per cent on inheritances OF
/ the highest grade would add about
! $4,000 000 annually to the revenues.
The other objects for the Fedora
| taxes suggested by the secretary are eX
else, incrnal revenue and customs
taxes. An excise tax OF one-half a cent
ON sugar would give S45 100000. Thui
the administration. which laid so mucl
stress on free sugar at the time The
/ UnderV ood Simmons bill was framed
and refused the appeals OF the Demo
/ cratic leaders for q retention Of even 4
small duty that would have yielded
I S55OOOO0O revenue has backed up on
sugar as it has ON so many other thing
| and reversed itself.
OF course Secretary McAdoO does no
recommend the sugar duty except in 81

aesting the revenues that might b.
raised from that source.

other fruitful source OF internal take
may be found in distilled spirits. He es
timntes that by raising the tax on thi
article from 81 10 TO Sl.25 a gallon
revenue might be derived OF $50 100000
while an increase of the beer tax Of 2
cents a barrel would yield Sl4,000OO
more.

called that the liveliest protest that
was aroused by the Underwood-sim-
mons bill in the making was the pro-
posal to tax the power in internal
combustion engines.
Every automobile owner, every
farmer who had tractor engine and
many others set up a howl over this
proposed tax. Now the blow will be
softened, ii is thought. by transferring
the tax to the manufacturer. The pos
