1T is giving AVA no secret" the
f, correspondent writes, ito say that the

into fun effect and wear the German
submarines out. 1t is model OF sim
Iplicity. The press has been liberal in

but while extending encouragement to
lMarconi, it mast not be overlooked

too, has worked toward the device
along Independent lines"

The finance committee struck out
entirely, said Mr.. Kitchin, many mil
lions of dollars of taxes which the
House had imposed on the manufac-
ture and sale of automobiles, tires,
cigars, musical instruments and num-
erous other luxuries and shifted ov-
er S100,00O,000 to the owners of au-
tomobiles and to necessities like SUI

The finance committee reduced tax

ing tobacco and snuff about $15,-

amount on coffee, tea an dcocoa.
The Senate plans to tax war ex-
cess profits on the basis of the in
crease shown in any corporations
profits over the average for previ-
Gus war period of three years-the
years 1911, 1912 and 1913-is declar-
ed by Mr.. Kitchin to be manifestly
unjust, making an undue discrimi-
nation in favor Of the fortunate per
sons or corporations during the pre-
war period. On that basis, he said,
a corporation Of S10,000,O00 capital
making $1,5OO,OOO during the pre-
war years and the same now would
be no excess profits tax, while far
mer worth $4,000 making $1,000
during pre-war years and now MAX
ing $4,000 will pay over 81 300 taxes.
"There are hundreds of corpora
tons whose annual profits each reach
into the hundreds Of thousands and
; III 1ions," said Mr.. KIltchin, 'athat
will Rpay not a cent of excess profits
. under the finance committees amend
ments because being highly prosper
Gus during the pre-war years, they
are making the same profits now ano
| therefore have no excess. Under the
! finance committee amendment as tt
