TAX on LOWER INCOMES
IL URGED IN COMMITTEE

Washington, April 20-0pposition to
many of Secretary McAdoo's sugges-
tons as TO possible new sources of
revenue developed today when the
Ways and Means Committee met for
the first time TO consider raising
money by taxation to meet war eX-
penditurCs. No final votes were taken
on any proposals, but the preliminary
discussion showed that no little time
will be required to reconcile tn wide
ly divergent views of various men,
bers.
No partisan differences arose. how
ever, and this strengthened Demo-
cratic Leader Kitchin's belief that a
bill be agreed upon within two weeks.
Vigorous protests are being made
both to the committee and Secretary
McAdoo against the suggestion that
the excess profit tax be increased. A
fiat war tax of per cent or more OF
the net profits of all corporations is
being suggested by opponents of the
proposed excess profit tax increase.
The question of making both pro-
posed increased income and excess
profit taxes retroactive was discuss
ed at length by the committee with
out final decision being reached
Feeling prevailed generally in the
committee that the income exemption
shoulud be lowered, it was said, and
it is probable that the Secretarys
suggestion of $500 exemption for
single persons and $4,000 for married
ones will be adopted.

SENATE FAVORS PRESS CENSOR

Washington, April 2O-riie Senate
reported itself today in favor of press
censorship during the war.
A censorship clause of the admins
tration's espionage bill, after decid-
ed modification, was retained in tire
bill by vote of 43 to SO, in which
partisan division was disrcgardcd
The vote came after three days of
short debate and was regarded as def
nitely forecasting final retention of the
censorship provision.
Later, the bill, still far from COM
pleted, was laid aside indefinitely TO
permit consideration, beginning to-
morrow, of the war army measure
The House judiciary committee has
completed its draft of the espionage
bill, also with censorship clause and
will report it Monday. The provision
as finally accepted by the Senate 'ol-
lows:
Whoever, in time of war, in viola
ton of reasonable regulations TO be
prescribed by the President which he
is hereby authorized to make ana
promulgate. shall publish any infnr.
nation with respect to the movement,
number, description, condition or dis
position of any of the arihc forces,
ships, aircraft, or war materials of
the United States, or with respect to
the plans or conduct of any naval or
military operation, or with respccj 10
any work or measure undertaken Tor
or connected with, or intended ltr
the fortilication of defense of any
place, or any other information re-
lating to the public defense calcuat-
ed to be useful to the enemy, shall
be punished by fine of not more than
100000 or by Imprisonment; prov l.
ing that nothing in this section shall
| be considered to limit or restrict, for
shall any regulation herein provided
for limit or restrict any discussion,
comment or criticism of the acts or
policies of the government, or its REQ
resentatives or the publication of tie
same"
Advocates of the provision admit.
ted that it would confer wide COW
ers unon the President to restrict
press or by individuals, in speeches
publication of military matter in the
or otherwise. Its foes declared that
it was unconstitutional and the most
drastic curb upon freedom of speech
and the press, guaranteed by the con.
stitution, ever proposed during the ma.
tons entire history.
Before the final vote the origina
committee draft, much more sweep.
ing and drastic, was greatly modi.
fed.
A substitute for the whole clause
submitted by Senator Cummins, O.
Iowa, was rejected by vote of 40 tC

INCREASED FREIGHT RATE TAR.
IFS ARE REQUESTED

Washington; April 19-The Inter-
state Commerce Commission today is
sued tentative order permitting the
railroads to file supplemental tariffs
increasing freight rates Is per cent,
as applied for, effective June l.
The commissions order was made
tentative so that shippers and other
interested organizations might state
their views upon it at a hearing be-
ginning here tomorrow.
At the close of the hearing should
the commission deem it desirable to
adopt another method in dealing with
the application for a general increase
the tentative order will be withdrawn,
leaving the situation as it was before
the order was issued.
All commodities with the expception
of bituminous coal and coke and ore,
upon which advances already have
been made, are included in the COM
missions order.
The tentative order excerpts termi-
nal rates, charges and allowances, or
absorptions and rates and charges for
demurrage, weighing, switching, car
service, diversion, reconsignment, re-
frigeration, iceing, storage, elevation
and other transit or special services.
The filing of supplemental tariffs,
provided for, is permitted as a time
saver and convenience to the rail
roads. 1t has been estimated that
several months would be required to
compile the thousands of individual
tariffs. which would be affected by
the increase.
Shippers from virtually all parts OF
the country have signilied their in
tention of opposing the granting OF
so large an increase as - per cent
which the railroads claim is imper-
atively necessary ii they are to con.
tinue to operate prolitably in the face
of the soaring cost of supplies, equip.
ment and fuel, and general wage ad.
vances under the Adamson law ant
otherwise.

SO and that is the part OF it in which

in Berkeley county for three months,
Including April, May and June. July
and the other summer months are said
to be the spawning season for these
fish, and IL the female fish are caught
then. thousands of trout eggs are de-
stroyed and the supply cannot conse'
