WAR TAX INCREASES
 ARE DECIDED UPON
TOTAL WILL REACH $2,ooo, ,ooo, ,0oo UNDER BILL-COMMIT
 IN ACCORD.

Washing ngton.-Increase of the pend. ing war tax bill to a total of $2,00S,- 00G,000 was decided upon by the Sen ate finance committee by increases on corporations normal income taxes, on income taxes of individuals of S15,000 and over and further increase of $1 per gallon on distilled spirits and 50 cents more on beer, together with a few other minor tax increases.
 The committee decided to increase the present two per cent normal rate on corporate incomes to six per cent, as against four per cent in the bill as originally drawn, yielding $162,000,000 additional revenues. The increase in surtax rates on individual incomes of S15,000 and more was estimated to raise from S25,000,00e to $36,000,000 additional.
 In revising the liquor schedules, the committee estimated in adding $1 per gallon to the tax on distilled spirits, or to total of $320 per gallon-$2.1 10 over the present law-that $90, 0,00oQO0 more revenue would be secured from that source The increase of 50 cents barrel on beer was estimated to yield S25,0d0,000 more revenue, mak- ing the beer tax $3.25 per barrel, as compared with $1.50 under existing law and $275, as originally proposed in the bill.
 The exact rates of the surtaX in creases on individual incomes of $1o, GOO and more were not decided.
 The income tax increases would re suit in a total levy upon corporate and individual incomes of the war Of at least S1 1,049, 100000. It was stated that the committee might decide against further increase on excess profits.
 The additional taxes on liquor would increase revenues from that source from $155, 900, 900 to at least S270,000- 900, with the increase Of $9e, e,000,0C0 from distilled spirits and $25,000,0O0 from beer Senator Simmons also stated that wine taxes also will be in creased. The committee plans, how ever, to raise SS,000,000 more reye- nues from wines.

 In sustaining a motion of the gov ernment to dismiss the complaint of the Fort Smith and Western Railroad Company and the trustee for it's bond holders, the Superior Savings and Trust Company of Cleveland, O.. against Arthur L. Mills, receiver of the railroad, and J. V. Bourland, Unit ed States district attorney for west ern Arkansas, Judge Frank A. You mans of the United States District Court, in effect, upheld the legality of the Adamson eight-hour act. Also he ruled that a wage contract entered in to before the adoption of the Adam son act by Congress became void when the Adamson law became effec- tive.
 The case was & suit for injunction to restrain Receiver Mills from pay ing the railroads trainmen under the terms of the Adamson act and to re- strain Attorney Bourland from prose outing the receiver for noncompliance with the act. It was contended that the AdamSon law did not set aside the wage contract into which the rail road and employees entered July 3, 1916. The wage contract became eff fective the following August 1, and the Adamson act was not passed by Congress until September. It became effective last January
 Plaintiffs contended that the law was designed only for receivers who had been in dispute with their train men, as was not the case with the Fort Smith and Western. The rail road declared it is unable to pay the increased wages.
