on what commodities the increases
should fall. The estimates have been
promised by the end OF the week and
as soon as they are available the com
mittee will begin another revision Of
the war tax bill.
Sentiment was widespread today
that IA considerable increase i'm tax
levies would be necessary. Several
senator's predicted that the sl,670,-
100000 total of the bill as ii now
stands would be increased to at least
$1,000, 100000 with an authorization
to cover additional expenses by II new
bond issue. Others favored a greater
increase In taxes and less bonds or
Indebtedness certificates Most lead
ers apparently were resigned TO a
further increase of not less thar sew
eral hundred million dollars. The
subject promises much debate when
ii reaches the senate floor.
The general feeling seems to he
against any basic change in the bill.
Committee leaders apparently most
generally favor securing the addition
al taxes by increased levies on in
come and war excess profits with ad-
dition of a few but comparatively
minor tax sources.

ASK ALL TULSA ELKS

Nine Hundred Local Members
Will Join in War Relief
Hospital Fund.

For years we have claimed to be
the greatest and most patriotic of all
American fraternities. The Flag of
our country is the only drapcry upon
our altar 1t is symbolic of our claim.
Today the patriotism of our whole
nation Is on trial. The order as
whole demands that the grand lodge
do something in the name of the or
der, which shall effectively aid the
nation and of "a character in keeping
with the patriotism and prestige OF
the order"
After adopting this resolution at the
grand lodge of the order in Boston
this month. the Elks of America will
raise $1,000, 600 for the establishment
OF base hospitals which, while they
be operated I'm conjunction with the
United States army and the American
Red Cross. will preserve the Identity
OF the orders gift at all times and
the Flag of Elkdom (the Red, White
and Blue Flag OF the American ma
tion) will float above these base hos
pitfalls at all times"
The Tulsa chapter has not yet
raised their portion of the fund but
expect to do SO at once. just as soon
as the proposition is presented to the
club. I'VE expect to send our portion
forward inside of ten days" said T
NJ Jenkinson, assistant secretary.
There are nine hundred Elks in Tulsa
There are four hundred thousand
Elks I'm America, which would make
the $1,000 00O war fund pro rate $3.50
each. Local Elks say that they expect
that n much larger fund than the
amount designated will be raised, be-
cause many OF the Elks will not he
satisfied with SO small n contribution.
The grand exalted ruler appointed
"A commission of six members OF the
grand lodge to investigate and decide
upon how the Elks could best perform
their patriotic duty and the raising
Of the hospital fund was decided upon.
Tho Elks arc counseled not to let
this furd in any way interfere with
their wartime activities. They have
been particularly active in all war
work since the outbreak OF the war,
and In European charities before that
time. Liberty bonds owned In the
name OF the chapter will be accepted
as donations TO the hospital funds.
