Mr.. Colt Defends Committee.

Senator Colt of Rhode Island defend
cd the action of the finance committee
in not proposing higher taxes than the
bill carries. He said no one can predict
the effect which the pending bill will
have upon the business of the country.
Judging from the experience of Eng
Mag, France and Germany. who have
gone to the limit of taxation, he said
the high taxation imposed by the pend
ing bill may cause a marked disturb
ance in the general business of the
country. Under these circumstances
he argued, this danger shall not be in
creased by imposing additional taxes
Taxation he added, lis not a mat
ter of rhetoric or of feeling or of pre-
tudice against wealth or of social re-
form, but a plain business matter of
the most vital Importance. Let US not
5eopardize the nations financial stand
Ing in this hour of peril. Let US not
cripple or destroy the very industries
which produce the money to pay the
taxes. The hope of winning this war
depends upon our financial and indus
trial strength, and we must run no risk
of impairing that strength by excess
