BIG sum FOR WAR TAX
Estimates Place Amount for
Year to Be Paid Govern
ment $2OO,OOO,OOO.

New York, July 31.--The enormous
sums which the big industrial com
panics of the country will pay to the
government in the form of excess
profits and Income taxes was strik-
ingly illustrated today when the
United States Steel corporation issued
its financial statement for the second
quarter of the year. Total earnings
for that period were reduced to $780,
579,2oa. after deducting $o3.9ls.s72, or
about 81 per cent, as the amount which
is estimated will be turned over to the
government.
An additional allowance Of $33, s65, :
600 was set aside from earnings Of the
first quarter Of the year for war taxes
and excess profits. that amount being
based on the tax proposed early in
July. but not yet finally adopted.
Record Breaking Figures.
But for the huge tax to be imposed
by tho government total earnings OF
the steel corporation for the second
quarter would have amounted to $144.-
49s.076. exceeding the previous high
record OF the preceding quarter by
more than $1,000, 900.
The extent to which the corporation

WASHINGTON IMPRESSED
BY news FROM BATTLE
Army Officers See Answer
to U-Boat Warfare if Ad-
vantage Is Pushed.

Washington, July 81. - The British :
French assault on the German right
flark has made a profound impression
here because in the judgment of many
American army officers 1t is directed
at the most vulnerable point on the
entire German front.
Complete success for the allies,
sweeping the German line back from
the sea along the entire Belgian coast
would be an immediate answer to the
t-hoat warfare. The main North Sea
bases for the U-boat operations would
be stamped out. Behind that achieve

would be endangered by flank at

Senate Finance Committee
Decides on Source of In.
creased Levies.
MORE EXCISES WILL
BEAR SHARE BURDEN
Sentiment Strongly Against
Adding to War Excess
Profits Tax.
9v Assoeiated Press,

Washington, July 3i.--Revision OF
the war tax bill SO as to increase it's
total from $1.670.000,000 to about $2,-
600, 100000. mainly by additional levies
on intoxicants and on personal and
corporation incomes, was definitely de-
cided on today by the senate finance
committee.
The detailed schedules and the exact
total remained to be determined, but
committee members said tonight they
expected the bill to aggregate at least
81 ,SaS 100000 and not moro than So
0Os. 100000. They plan to have the
measure ready to report by the end
Of the week.
New Tax Sources.
The following new lcvies were dcfi-
nitely decided upon today:
On corporation incomes, $162, ,OOO. 900.
Incomes of individuals of $4,000 and
more. $27.60O,00O.
Distilled spirits, 100000. 900.
Malt and fermented liquors (becr),
S25. 100000.
These new taxes total 1904, 600, 900.
The committee considered thes fol-
lowing revisions in providing for the
remaining $23.400,O0O necessary to at
tain the minimum Of $l,99S, 900, 900:
Increase of taxes on brandy for
fortifying wines to yield about $l0,-
900. 900.
Increase OF rates on wines to yield
about 100000.
To Increase Exeises.
Increase of consumption, or excise
taxes on sugar, coffee and possibly
tea, together with a few new taxes
possibly to include gasoline and fire
arms.
Reduction Of the Is per cent tax in
the so-called jones' amendment on
corporate undivided surplus to 10 or
5 per cent.
Although the committee had orig
inally planned to secure much of the
additional revenue from war excess
profits taxes. committee sentiment to-
day was said to be strongly against
increasing the pending schedules, esti-
mated to raise $523,OO0,0 600 more thar
under the present law. or a total OF
$74s,O 600.
Higher Income Tax.
To secure $162,000,000 more from in.
comes of corporations. joint stock com
panies and associations, including Life
| insurance companies, the committee
| decided to increase the normal rate or
such incomes by per cent, treblint
| their present rate and doubling tn,
rate provided in the bill. Modification
Of the Jones' amendment was virtu
ally agreed to with the exact chang,
to be decided later. The new sur ia,
rates on individual incomes of $500,
and above remain to be dcfinitcl.
fixed.
Graduated Sur Taxes.
| The graduating sur taxes in til,
pending bill run from per cent o,
$4,000 income up to SO per cent. TIL,
new rates probably will graduate iron
8 to IS per cent. With the incrcas
the total income tax returns to tn
goyernment would be $1.05s 900. 900, o
which $719 100000 would be the wa
levy. against $532,700.0OO proposed il
the house bill.
The committee decided to add n Ia,
OF 81 per gallon more on distille,
spirits and,5O cents more per barrel o.
malt and fernented liquors. Thes
taxes would provide a total increase O
s2.10 per gallon on distilled spirit.
(which now pays $l.10. and of 81 pc
barrel on beer now paying $3.50.

Up to Contributors.
"The contributors must decide as to
that, of course" the mayor continued.
THE matter Is in their hands, you
know. But l think they will agree
that the way to build the swimming
pool Is to build it."
Little more than excavation can be
done this year. however, unless col
lection of the fund proceeds more rap
idly than now. Less than $4,000 has
been subscribed, and not half of that
Is in the bank.
Absentee Contributes.
Alden Jones, a university boy who
enlisted at the outbreak Of the war
in the coast artillery corps, put some
OF his fellow townsmen to shame yes
terday by sending check to the pool
fund.
Il am sorry" he wrote, that won't
be able to splash in the pool myself
but l hope my donation will make a
small ripple, and that the movement
will be success"
His check was for $3.50 and was in
the form OF a refund of laboratory
fees from the physics department OF
the State University.
Other contributors yesterday were
Henry Tripp. who gave IS, and David
Beebee, who gave 81. The fund now
includes $9,797.50.
