PRESIDENT is OPPOSED
TO BOND ISSUE FOR WAR
Insists on Pas.as-Yau.Go Plan
Heavy Pressure Put on
Congress.

Washington, May 2s.-Decsiion
by the senate finance committee to
medify the "pay-as-you-go" plan
for financing Americas part in the
great war, met with vigorous ad-
ministration opposition today.
Both President Wilson and Secre-
tary McAdoo have let it be known
the full s1,s0O,O00 needed must be
raised by taxation on the present
general ion. Both consider it mad
visable further to disturb the money
market of the country by attempt
ing to launch more bond issues now.
Representative Kitchin, chairman
of the house ways and means COM
mittee, served notice today he will
battle to the end-to the floor Of the
house if necessary-any attempt by
the senate to foist a bond issue on
the revenue bill or otherwise ma
terially alter its present complexion.
Hence the senate committees ten
tative agreement to lop of between
$500, 100000 and $55e,o0o,0oo Of
the taxation program and supplant
this much with bonds, distributing
the financial burden Of the war over
five or ten years in the future will
bring a big fight in congress.
The senate committee continued
its work Of mutilating the house bill.
I To Determine Amounts.
It was planned when the commit
tee went into session this morning,
to determine definitely just how
much of the revenue should be raised
by taxation and how much by bonds.
Then the work will devolve upon in
dividual items in the bill to ascertain
just where cuts can be made in the
provisions adopted by the house. The
committee has already voted the fol-
lowing points:
To strike out the additional re-
troactive income tax on incomes
earned in 1850 resulting in reduc-
ton Of $10s,O00,O0o from the house
levy.
To strike outincreases in the in
heritance tax causing reduction Of
some $15,000,000.
. To strike out all provisions for in
creased second class postal rates un-
der the zone system and substitute
a direct tax-probably two per cent
on advertising Of all kinds.
The substitute for the excess pro-
fits tax based on profits over 8 per
cent of invested capital, an excess
profits tax based on average profits
covering a period Of not more than
five years. ''.
These changes look good to some
of the Republican members Of the
house ways and means committee,
Representative Mann, in particular.
"The action by the senate commit
tee appears to be accomplishing just
what is wanted" he said today.
Mann has favored some bonds and
less taxation all along.
Representative Kitchin, however,
declared the bill must 60 through
congress as asked by the admins
tration.
Senator Simmons said today he has
not discussed the changes yet with
the president but there "surely will
be some bonds" He indicated the
total bond issue would be between
$500, 100000 and $750,000,00o.

The Kdlser's Dream.

There's q story now curre1t, though
strange IT mas seem,
OF the great Kaiser Bill and his Wonder
Being tired of the Allies, he lay down
in bed.
And amongst other things. he dreamt
he was dead.
And in a fine coffin was lying in state,
With a gaurd of brave Belgians, who
lamented his fate.
He wasn't long decd till he found to his
cost.
That his soul, like his soldiers, had
surely been lost.
On leaving the earth to Heaven he went
straight,
And arriving up there gave a knock at
the gate.
But st. Peter looked out and in voice
loud and clear,
Said "Begone, Kaiser Bill, We don't
want you here"
"Well," said the Kaiser, that's very
uncivil,
| suppose after that | must go to the
devil"
So he turned on his heels and off he did
At the gop of bis speed to the regions
below,
And when he got there he was filed
with dismay,
When waiting outside he heard OLD
Mex say
To his imps: ''Now look here boys.
give you a warning,
I'm expecting the Kaiser down here in
the morning,
But don't let HIM In, for to me 1t quiet

then cried,
Excuse me for listening while waiting
outside.

Indeed" said the devil, Il really don't

"Oh, do let me in, I'm weary and cold
Said the Kaiser, quite anxious to enter
Mics fold.
Let me st in a corner, no matter how
hot"
"N)!" said the devil, "most certainly

dirty milk and overcrowding. The
death rate in ell of our great cities
Is being steadily beaten down to q
lower and lower level every year.
The advance census reports show a
lower national death rate than ever
before by nearly 10 per cent.
