Session Remarkable, of Course,
for Its Action on War
Measures.
LITTLE FRICTION NOTICED
Members, as a General Thing, Were
MISUNDERSTANDING Sue
eessfuI in Most Legislation
1t Wanted Adopted.

Washington.-"The most remarkable
session in the parliamentary history
of the world" was the way Demo
cratic and Republican leaders charac-
teriZed the first war session of the
Sixty-fifth congress, which came to
close at three o'clock in the afternoon
of October 6, exactly six months after
the declaration of war against Ger
many.
The record of legislation enacted
and money appropriated has no paral-
lei anywhere in the annals OF all time.
Beginning with the declaration of
war against Germany in April, con
gress has passed b'll after bill of the
most revolutionary character, includ-
ing such measures as the draft bill
and the food control bill Appropria-
lions and contract authorizations for
the present fiscal year, totalling SOL
390,000,000 including $7OO0,000O00 in
loans to the allies, were voted with
out single dissenting voice, record
equalled nowhere, not even in the
kaiser dominated German reichstag.
How Money Is Expended.

money is to be spent:

All other expenses. 102, 900, 900
AS part of the scheme of meeting
these enormous expenditures congress
passed the $685. 100000 war revenue
bill, the largest taxation bill in Amer
lean history, levying directly or in
directly upon every, man, women and
child in the United States. Something
more than a billion dollars of this
amount will be taken from war profits.
All incomes more than $1,000 for sin
gle men and more than $1,000 for mar
ried men are made subject to taxation.
Where New Taxes Fall.
Here are some things upon which
the average citizen will pay taxes I'M
der the new war tax bill:
Approximately per cent increase
on incomes of $4,000 or less.
Letter postage, except local letters,
Increased to 3 cents and postcards to
2 cents, beginning November 3.
One cent for each 10 cents paid for
admissions to amusementS.
Five-cent shows and 10-cent outdoor
amusement parks exempted.
Ten per cent on all club dues of SO
a year or more.
One cent for each % cents paid for
parcel post.
One cent on each % cents express
package charge.
Three per cent of all freight charges.
Eight per cent of passenger fares by
rail or water. except trips of less than
30 miles.
Ten per cent of charges for seats,
berth and staterooms on parlor cars
or vessels.
Five cents on each telegraph tele-
phone or radio message costing 10
cents or more.
Three per cent on jewelry
Eight cents on each 500 of life in
surance The tax on whisky is in.
creased from $1.10 a gallon to $500.
The tax on beer is increased from 81
a barrel to $2.75.
Increased tax on cigars, cigarettes
and manufactured tobacco and snuff.
Little Dissension During Session.
Despite pacifist activities, the SEES.
little dissension, the fighting centering
about questions mainly affecting pol.
icy. The most stubborn contests were
staged over the revenue BILL the draft
bill and the food control bill. In ev-
cry case, except censorship of the
newspapers and speech, the admins
Fration has received everything it asked
iof congress for the conduct of the
war.
Congress was in session 1S8 days
During that time more than 10000
army, navy and marine corps nomina-
ltions sent to the senate were con-
firmed, among them the advancement
of Ma or General Pershing, comman-
der in chief of the armies in France,
and Major General Bliss, chief of staff,
to the rank of full general, held only

in progress.
Now it seems to be the desire of a
majority of the house and senate to
adjourn some time in October, ''the
earlier the better" as some members
put it. Whether or not adjournment
can be brought about still remains to
be seen, because all signs fail in war
times.
Without going at all into the merits
of the controversy between those who
think that congress should stay on the
job constantly in war time and those
who think it should pass war measures
quickly and then adjourn. the methods
which are used to delay the passage of
bills can be described without bias be-
cause they are resorted to by members
of all parties.
Some of the members who delay
things do not do it solely for the pur-
pose of delay, but to get for them
selves the opportunity to make long
speeches which they think their consti-
suents will read with unbounded pleas
ure and profit. Then there are others
who deliberately attempt to delay the
enactment of legislation and these
others generally are found in the sen
ate because in the house delaying tao
tics cannot be used to any great adj
vantage. for the representatives, ordl-
narily can set the time for the voting
on any bill.

Candles VS.. Electricity.

The Society for Electrical Develop
ment, anxious to encourage wider
use Of electricity for lighting, has pre-.
pared figures showing 1t is much cheap.
er than candles or kerosene.
A recent test of six candles showed
that for j cent only 2.6S candle-power
hours were obtained If electricity for
lighting costs cents for a kilowatt
hour 20-watt lamp can be lighted for
SO hours for 9 cents. The efficiency of
a 20-watt incandescent is a candle
power for III watts. Thus a 2O-watt
lamp will provide about II candle
power. 1t will burn so hours for 9
cents, or $50 candle-power hours will
cost 9 cents. One cent will buy ga
candle-power hours, or 50 time0 a.
much light as can be obtained rom q
