FAVoRS BOND TAX.
Knoxville Journal

JUL
The State Council of Defense has
gone on record in favor of raising war
funds by direct levy upon all the pro-
perty of the nation. II proposes that
the next issue Of bonds be allotted in
proportion to the actual taxable wealth
Of the country so that each individual
shall be compelled to carry his share
of the burden 1t Is proposed that
bonds be given for the assessment up
on each persons property and that the
assessments be collected. The Jour-
nal believes that this method is essen
TALLY sound, although it does not by
any means reach all who should con-
tribute to the support Of the war.
There are hundreds and thousands OF
wage earners who command large In
comes but do not accumulate taxable
property. These persons are under the
same obligation to buy bonds, support
the Red Cross and the 7. NJ. c. A. in
proportion to their ability. as those
who by thrift and economy have ac-
cumulated visible wealth.

awaiting trial on several charges OF auto
mobile theft.
To Detective Sergeant Jake Berman.

belongs the credit of the catch and the
recovery of nine automobiles which the
police say were stolen by Harding in sew

The machines. which it is alleged were
stolen. are nine in number; two from
Miami, Fla; two from Holyoke. Mass. ;
one from Springfield Mass; three from
Washington, and one whose owner has
not yet been located.
Harding. according to the police has
confessed the theft of one automobile

of sale for a single one of the cars or to
tell from whom he purchased them. De-
tective Berman has been working on the

FORMER union SOLDIERS
WELCOME SOUTHERNERS
Men of Civil War Bury Sectional Feel
ing Between North and South.

Many soldiers of the Union army of the
civil war are indorsing the coming re-
union of the United Confederate Veterans
to be held In this city the week beginning
June 4. Chairman Robert N. Harper. of
the citizens reunion committee. last night
received from Col. Myron NJ. Parker,
who served as a soldier in blue. the fol-
lowing letter:
1T Is a source of united congratula-
ton that the officials representing the
G. A. r. in Washington have extended
cordial invitation to the Confederate
veterans of the South. through their
commander in chief. Gen. George p.
Harrison, to hold their reunion in WASH
Ing in June, and assuring them of the
hearty and sincere welcome that would
be extended them.
Il am sure II is entirely safe TO say that
no portion Of our citizens will be more
enthusiastic in the reception and enter
tainment of the Confederate veterans
than will be the members of, the G. A r..
They have only admiration for the brave
men who fought on the Southern side.
They realize that all sectional feeling has
now passed. and they believe that the re-
union in Washington will be the crowning
event of united loyalty. -
Il might say that the first invitation
to the Confederate veterans to meet in
Washington was extended by a resolution
unanimously adopted at meeting OF the
Second Corps Association, Army of the
Potomac, two years ago.
ut is more than probable that this as
ISOLATION will be selected as the escort OF
the Confederate veterans in their great
parade next June

WAR REVENUE BILL
Still in DISCUSSION
All Day Committee Session Fails to
Decide 1900 OOO,O 900 Source.

After an entire Gay devoted to the con-
sideration yesterday of the war revenue
bill by the House Committee on Ways
and Means, the measure stN remained
incomplete It was hoped by the mem
bers of the committee, on both sides
of the political fence, that they would
have the 8, SOC, OCO bill ready to report
to the House today.
At the session the committee voted to
restore to the statute books ell of the
stamp taxes in vogue in the Spanish
American war and upon a schedule Of
almost exact similarity to the revenue
law OF that period.
The work on the bill was speeded UP
as soon as 1t became known that the
Senate Finance Committee had deter
mined to hold restrictive hearings" on
it. This, in a measure, relieves the House
Of much of the obligation to devote
strenuous effort to bringing out an iron
clad and amendment-proof bill as 1t is
accepted as indicative OF the intention
of the Senate to amend it in many par
ticulars.
The vote on the excess profits provision,
scheduled for yesterday. will probably
be taken this morning.

PROVIDE so MILLION
FOR WAR INSURANCE
Senate Finance Committee Approves
Measure for Immediate Passage.

Fifty million dollars was the appropria-
ton approved yesterday by the Senate
Finance Committee for the War Risk In
surance Bureau and the immediate pass
age of a bill carrying that amount was
recommended.
1t Is proposed to cover life and casu-
atty insurance Of the officers and crews
of American ships which may be de-
stroyed In the course OF the war Also
the bill provides for the reinsurance Of
American ships and cargoes by the allies
and for the insurance Of ally ships and
cargoes by the United States on their
return, or westward-bound voyages.
The enactment of such legislation was
recommended by the Treasury Depart
ment some days ago. Then 1t was es-
tImated that $25,0o0, 600 would sufice, but
the increasing menace of the German
submarine and the apparently uninter-
rupted activity Of the U-boats caused
the Finance Committee to double the
amount .l-s-..
A bill similar to the original plan
of the Senate but carrying only the
SIS, 900 600, is before the House Committee
on Interstate and Foreign Commerce
where yesterday Frederick Delano,' OF
the Federal Reserve Board. appeared in
its advocacy. Mr.. Delano told the COM
mittee that siAce the declaration of war
the War Risk Bureau OF the Treasury
Department had done more business than
in the preceding IS months of its ex-
istence.

Mime. Jofre Treasures
Real Virginia Ham

When Marshal Joffre gets back to
France, one OF the first things he will be
asked for will be that fine sugar-cured
Virginia ham that was sent to Nine.
Joffre by Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, wife or
the President.
The fact that the marshal speaks no
English didn't prevent Mrs. Wilson from
learning that Nine. Joffre has a weak
ness for American ham, which is about
as scarce in France as nut sundaes in
Terra del Fuego.
So Mrs. Wilson sent to Virginia for
the real thing. and the ham will be
packed among the ,marshafs personal ef-
fects.

Alleging that he was married while
under the influence of liquor and did not
know what he was doing, Sidney P. Saw
age yesterday instituted suit in the Dis
trict Supreme Court to annul his mar
riage of April, 1916, to Louise Savage nee

patient at Casualty Hospital at the time
and while under the influence of liquor
some one told him that he was to marry
the defendant. After more liquor had
been given him. he asserts, he was taken
to the home of the defendant, where a
marriage license was awaiting and there
he was married, or believes he was
married, but has only hazy recollection
of the ceremony"
He states that he does not know the
name Of the party or minister who per-
formed the ceremony. He also states
that he has never recognized the de-
fendant as his wife. Attorney Wilton J.
Lambert appears for the plaintiff.

BRITISH COMPLICATION
REVIVED BY BRITTEN
Resolution on Shipping Status Brings
Up Old CONTROVERSY.

An echo OF the earlier stages OF the
general international controversy in
which the United States found itself in
volved cropped up in the House OF Rep
resentatives yesterday when Representa-
tive Britten. of Illinois, introduced res
olution providing that Great Britain
should be asked at once to modify her
international policy through the discon-
tinuance OF all discriminatory practices
against American shipping.
In view of the present alliance in fact,
IL not in documentary actuality. the exact
purpose of the Britten resolution at this
time was somewhat of a surprise to the
House. The measure was referred to the
Committee on Foreign Relations.

MILK RAISE COMING,
LOCAL DEALERS SAY
Price Will Be Increased in Few Months.
Retailers Believe

The retail price of milk is almost GER
tain to take another upward jump with
in a few months, milk dealers yesterda y
believed. despite the refusal OF virtually
all distributors to raise prices at this
time.
milk retailing, at Is or IS cents a quart
next winter" said A. w. Simpson, $50
Seventh street, a distributor who, after
raising his prices last Tuesday, found
that he virtually stood alone in this
move.
He notified his customers yesterday
that he would go back to the old sched-
ule Of 10 cents a quart and 6 cents a
pint, the prices which have been charged
all winter.
But just as soon as the milk supply
begins to get shorter prices will have to
go up said Mr.. Simpson. THE pro-
ducers are demanding more because OF
the increased cost of production"
Only one other big distributor in the
city has thus far raised his prices above
the winter rates. George NJ. Oyster. jr.,
announced that beginning April l he
would be compelled to charge IL cents a
quart or cents a pint.
Mr.. Simpson said that while he be-
lieved increased rates are justified. he
could not charge more than his competi-
tors. They refused to follow his example
and he therefore dropped from the IL and
s cent prices to 10 and cents.
Other dealers indicated that there was
certain to be an increase in milk prices
before next fall. but said there would
probably be no change in prices at pres
ent
Dealers will continue to pay the pro-
ducers winter rates, although the cost OF
producing during the summer months
when pastures are open, is considerably
lower than in winter.
The distributors indicated that they
hesitate to raise prices under any condi-
tions because of the recent indictments
brought against them for alleged COM
bination. The fact that there is always
good supply Of milk on the market
during May and June makes present
price increases improbable.
But. after the summer months look out
for a boost in milk prices.
