Ia Toilette
TO RENEW FIGHT
FOR WAR TAXES

Senator La Toilette OF Wisconsin is
about to renew his fight in the SEN
ate for increased taxation of surplus
incomes and war profits.
This is made plain by Senator La
Toilette in the leading editorial in
his magazine this week in which he
discusses war finance, and sharply
criticises both the President and Sec
Rotary McAdoo. He assails bitterly
the wolves" of Wall Street.

He criticises the President for fail

ships and evils" and protests against
McAdoo's proposal that Congress
avoid additional tax legislation now.
Senator La Toilette today gave out
copies of the editorial.
After pointing out that, according
TO the report OF the Commissioner OF
Internal Revenue, the United States
has added 1923 new miIIionaIres to
its roll in 1916, he says Its a safe

PREP AIRING FOR
WAR ACTIVITIES

Washington, Feb. Work of per-
fecting amendments to the federal
shipping law authorizing the shipping
board in event Of war or threatened
war to commander all ships under
construction in the United States for
foreign powers and all privately own
ed American ships was begun today
by Chairman Fletcher of the senate
commerce committee.
An agreement to draft these
changes was reached at a conference
last night between members of the
house and senate and Secretary Nc
Adoo and acting Chairman Denman
of the shipping board.
The latter explained that the leg
is1ation was demanded because of the
international crisis. The proposals,
if enacted into law. they also urged,
would place the United States on a
parity with other leading nations in
dealing with shipping facilities in
emergencies.
