Hiram johnson Urges Larger Tax on
War Profits, Pointing to Eng
lands Eighty Per Gent.
OBJECTS TO TAX ON TEA
AND COFFEE IN PENDING BILL
Declares Congress Is Dealing With
Undue IAberaiity With United States
Steel Corporation in Proposed War
Profit Tax.

Washington, Aug. 2o--Sentime In
the senate today leaped towards high
taxation of war profits and large in
comes. A stirring speech by Hiram
johnson. of California, stimulated the
movement which was already under
way.
Those who coin the blood of the
war are those best able to pay the ex-
pense of the war" he cried. ''Th ose
particular exigency are those who
ought to pay. We were willing TO
conscript the youth OF the land for
this war. We must have the same in
exorable attitude towards money We
had when we were dealing with men"
Together Senators Gore. of Okla
homa, and Thomas. of Colorado,
and La Toilette have submitted a
minority report which advocates pay
ing for the war by taxing wealth.
Senator King. of Utah, a strong ad-
ministration Democrat. created sur
prise by preparing to introduce a bill
following the lines of the minority re-
port. And Senator Hollis, of New
Hampshire. another Democrat, an
nounced he would vote for the minor
ity report
But Senator Simmons. chairman of
the senate finance committee, and
SSHdlOfS l<OOec anu FeuTOS6, DOIh Oh
the committee, were unchanged in
their support OF the pending bill.
Senator johnson Speaks.
The wisdom and equity Of the
pending bill will be questioned by men
and women whose tea and coffee are
taxed" said Senator johnson. in his
speech. We give to the United States
Steel corporation first a dividend on
its preferred stock, and then permit
It to pay all expenses and all taxes.
And then In our time OF stress and
dire need. when every heart Is bleed
ing for the loved ones that go beyond
the seas. we give to this corporation
a dividend equal to more than has
Eeer paid in upon its capital stock.
How the people must love to scorn
q congress that deals thus tenderly
with war profits. while dealing with
such severity with the common human
clay to be put up against the guns
by the steel corporation to which Is
to be returned under this bill nearly
$500, 100000 Of war profit for this
year.
Congress hands to the steel corpo-
ration nearly 5000 900 900 because
forsocth It has coined the blood and
bone and sinew OF the land into doll
lars that II has made. Can you justify
II? You can never Justify giving back
