PROPOSES SINGLE TAX.
Senator Jim Ham Lewis Has New
War Revenue Plan.

Single tax has now been brought
into the foreground Of the long
list Of ideas put forward in congress
to help win the war. Senator James
Hamilton Lewis, the Democratic whip
of the senate. has offered q measure
designed to levy a>heavy federal tax
upon all unused lands throughout the
United States, not merely as a means
OF helping to raise the enormous rev.
enue needed for war purposes, but
to force increased cultivation to
stimulate food production.
Senator Lewis proposal would
levy a federal tax upon unused land
equivalent to the local and state taxes
now levied upon such lands. He es.
Inmates that the tax would yield full.
ly a hundred million dollars to the
federal government annually and
would help greatly to meet the deflc1,
caused by the recent prohibition
enactment Of congress.

NEW BOARD TO MAKE
ALL WAR PURCHASES
GOVERNMENTS BUYING CEN.
TRALIZED TO FACILITATE
INDUSTRY.

WASHINGTON, August 3.-The
long expected reorganization Of the
national council of defense was an
nounced by President Wilson this
week in the formation of q war in
dustries board Of seven members.
While membership Of the council
and it's advisory commission remain
unchanged, their work is centralized
in the smaller board, which will be
the clearing house for the govern
ment's war industry.
The board consists Of F. A. Scott
chairman; Lieutenant Colonel Palmer
e. Pierce. representing the army;
Rear Admiral Frank Fletcher, repre-
senting the navy; B. M. Baruch, who
will attend to the raw materials;
Hugh Frayne, representing the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor; Robert s.
Lovett, who will handle priority mat
tiers, and Robert s. Brookings, fin.
ished products.
With Herbert Hoover, Brookinge
Baruch and Lovett will constitute
virtually an allied purchasing board
They will arrange purchases IN ac-
cordance with the general policies
formulated and approved, the official
said.
The appointment of the new board
effects a reorganization of the gov
ernment's war purchasing syster1
through creation of a war industries
board to supervise buying and to de-
eide priority OF manufacture and
shipment. Labor was given repre-
sentative on the board at the instance
of Samuel Gompers of the advisory
commission, who pointed out that
labor is directly interested in any
changes that war may bring to indus.
trial establishments.
The change in the organization Il
expected to still the criticism or the
old purchasing system that manufac'
turers and producers as members OF
passed on purchases from
their own plants.

LOCAL TROOPS MAY
Be SENT TO RUSSIA
WAR DEPARTMENT CONSIDERING
PLANS no BOLSTER UP THE
EASTERN FRONT.

Transports may steam into Tacoma
harbor and take on troops from the
American lake army post for service
on the Russian front before the end
of the year, q dispatch from the ma
tional capital said this week. This
was ofIicially disclosed at the war
department when 1t became known
that officers Of the general star are
giving consideration to q plan Of
sending troops from the Pacific
Northwest across the Pacific to vlad-
ivostok and thence over the trans
Siberian railroad to the Russian
front.
War department officials are in
clining to the view that it will be
necessary to bolster up the Russian
front with American soldiers. They
feel that the moral effect Of an expe-
dition such as General Pcrshing COM
mands in France would be tremen-
dous in Russia. The Slav army is
greatly demoralized. Discipline has
very largely been destroyed since the
revolution. Soldiers from the great
American republic, holding similar
aspirations as the Russians, by their
presence and support might have q
great effect in solidifying the Slav
battlefront.
Troops in the Northwest will be
utilized II this plan is carried out.
They will be sent from American lake
cantonment on transports from Ia
coma.
American troops are to be sent 10
France at the rate of 100000 q
month, starting within the next 40
days, the dispatch continues. Send
ing guardsmen to France, however,
does not necessarily mean they will
Immediately go into the trenches.
The guard contingents will be trained
behind the French lines as General
Pershing's troops are now being
trained by the French.
The revocation of orders dispatch
ing the New York guard to South
ern training camp is in line with the
general STATS plans of speeding up
the movement Of troops to France.
The New York contingent may be
among the first to go.
The official report Of Quartermaster
General Sharpe shows that the de-
partment now plans an army OF g.
033,345 men and S6,158 officers the
first year. This is nearly double the
plans made at the outbreak Of the
war, which called for an army OF
1,O72,9OS men and 42,462 officers.

said he was convinced the new trial
