SENATE DISCUSSES
POSTAGE INCREASE
War Tax Bill Going to Confer.
enCe Next Week Probably

Washington, Aug. 27.-Whi1e the
leaders prepared for the contest over
war profits taxation, the senate to-
day began consideration Of the post
age increase sections of the war tax
bill with debate on profits set for We'd
nesday. Increasing contention gave
little promise of sending the bill to
conference before next week.
War taxation Of newspaper and
magazine publishers was the principal
subject of today's debate.
Senator'S Hardwickl of Georgia and
Mcclellan Of Tenn 7s3ee championed
substitutes for the finances commit
tees amendment providing for a spe-
cial tax of five per cent. on publisher S
net incomes exceeding $4,000 annual
ly and increase of second class mail
rates from one to one and a. quarter.
cents a pound. The committee provi-
sion was written as a substitute for
the house zone system increase of sec
ond class rates, denounced by virtual
1y all publishers. Under the commit
tees plan $7,50O,OOO in revenue would
be obtained from publishers incomes
and s3,000,0o0 from the a cent a
pound postage increase. From the
one cent increase on letters $5O,00O,-
600 revenue is estimated.
Senator Hardwick advocated a sub
stitute, Endorsed by the post depart
ment proposing to maintain the pres
ent cent a pound rate on news por-
tons of publications but increasing
by graduation from three to eight
cents pound, the second class rate
on proportions devoted to advertis-
ing. He cited that $8O,OOO,OOO an
nually is lost by the government in
carrying second class matter mostly
magazines, filled with advertising at
the one cent mail rate.
Senator McKellars substitute is for
a modified zone increase system,
leaving present rates within radius
of 800 miles-the average circulation
range Of newspapers-to reach mag
azines and other periodicals circu>
lating usually over wider territory.
Representatives of newspaper inter-
ests are giving it their support.
The finance committee met today
and discussed measures in behalf of
the majority revision, levying $685.
100000 or about 26 per cent. on
this years war profits. Leaders in
the group headed by Senators John
son of California. Borah La Toilette,
Kenyon, Hollis, Husting, King, Gore
Norris and others also conferred on
their plan of campaign. Senator La
Toilette is preparing another exhaus-
tive address on the war profits ques-
ton, and is expected to offer an
amendment to take 80 per cent. of
such profits. If rejected, other men,
bers of the group favoring higher tax
alton will offer amendments for lower
rates, graduated downward but de-
signed to obtain the highest levy pos
sible. Senators La Toilette and Hol-
lis also have amendments pending for
increasing levies on individual in

When man, great and good, has
succeeded in attaining some high sta
ton in life, it is altogether fitting and
proper that he should, if the occasion
offers, look back from the eminence
on which he stands to the path by
which he rose. A man whose life,
crowned by spiritual labors rebound
ing to the worldly success of those
with whom he came in contact and
to their salvation hereafter, is es-
pecially worthy of note.

SHARES DROP OFF

Steels and Other Leaders React
Early in Day

Wall Street-Active issues dis
played tirmer tendencies at the open
ing of today's stock market. I'm
,portant rails and other investment
shares were higher by large frac-
tions to point. Steels and other
equipments strengthened with oils,
motors and tobaccos. The more pop
ular specialties showed general i'm
provement over last weeks final quo
tations.
Dealings were light but included
cost of the better known stocks.
The market hesitated after the first
half hour, leaders losing most of their
gains. Traders evidently found little
interest in the news of the week to
cause any change in the attitude and
public attention was altogether lack
ing. U. S. Steel reacted a point and
other leaders 1 to 2 II points. Metals
also eased and sugars reflected the cut
in that product bot shippings and to-
baccos were active and comparatively
strong. Liberty bonds were quoted at
1892 to 1896.
Declines in industrial stocks as
sumed wider proportions in the dull
trading of the intermediate session.
The movement was precipitated by
further delay in announcement of the
Bethlehem Steel financial plans. Rails
and specialties also lost additional
ground.
Wall street misunderstanding
metals and oils shaded in the last
hour. The closing was heavy. Sales
approximated 100000 shares.
