May COMPROMISE
ON WAR PROFITS
Senate Leaders Recognize
Growing Demand For
Heavier Taxation

washington. Aug. 2s.--Senate
anance committee leaders, recognize
ing the growing demand for heavier
taxation upon war profits tentative
" drafted at private conferences.
amendments to the war tax bin de-
signed TO increase the gross levy on
this source from rs per cent to about
H33 Ia per cent and the revenue TO
be derived from 1861, 100000 to about
$3.50. OO0, 600. These amendments will
Sc offered as compromise In an
effort to head off more drastic in
creases advocated by Senators john
son Of California; LaFollettes Borah
and others.
Leaders of the so-called conserva-
tives. confidently predicted that they
would muster sufficient strength to
insure adoption of a compromise, but
supporters of the higher rates APP
parently were equally as sure they
would make the levy not less than
so per cent.
During the debate Senator LaF'ols
Iette presented his plans for taxing
war profits He introduced eight
amendments proposing to take from

is assumed here that there will fol-
low a fierce outburst Of denunciation
against the attempt from the outside
to dictate to the German people their
form of government. But it is also
believed that as the hardships OF
war and misgovernment bear with
ever-increasing severity upon the
German people, they must in the end
throw off their military masters and
take in their own hands through a
representative government the con-
duct of negotiations looking to a
fair and honorable and permanent
peace.
Answer Left To America.
Active exchanges have been in
progress between the President, Sec
fetary Lansing and the entente pow
ers, mainly through the American
diplomatic, representatives abroad,
regarding the answer to be made to
the pope's proposals ever since these
were delivered to the various foreign
Offices. 1t seemed by, common con
sent that to America was confined
the heavy responsibility of framing
and delivering the first of the re-
plies. The propriety of this course
was apparent from the consideration
Of the fact that every one of the en- :
tente premiers and foreign ministers
who had spoken publicly on the sub
ject of peace had turned to the
language of President Wilson's his
toric address to congress, and his
other public utterances on the SUBJ
ject, as disclosing their own concep-
tons of the proper bases of peace
negotiations. And even more potent
than this consideration was the con !
victton that America was best fitted
of all nations to deal what it was
hoped would be the death blow to
autocracy Of the Germanic type.
Every precaution was taken to
prevent a premature disclosure of
the contents of the Presidents re-
Spouse. Few members of the cabi :
net were informed on the. subject
before yesterdays cabinet meeting.
Last night the document was handed
over to the trusted telegraphers Of
the state department to be sent on
it's. way by. cable to Ambassador
Page. in London, who was to deliver
it TO Foreign Minister Balforr for
transmission to Rome. At the same
time copies OF the communication. as
a matter of courtesy, were placed in
the hands Of the diplomatic repre-
sentatives of the entente powers in
Washington for their information
Although the pope's proposals were
addressed to the leaders of the ma
lions at war, which of course In
cluded President Wilson, and were
signed by the Pontiff himself. the re-
Spouse was signed by Secretary
Lansing. AS the, latter expressly
stated that he was merely transmit
ting the presidents reply, however.
the method was strictly within the
diplomatic proprieties A high offi-
cial IS authority for the statement
that the Presidents reply Is in line
with the allies views

PACIFICIST BARRED

And now it's the Pacifcists that have oc-
Cured the displeasure of President Wilson
and, like other elements of our cosmopoli-
tan civilization that have incurred his dis
pleasure, they have been barred from his
august presence and therefore under no
circumstances can appeal to the chief magis-
trate for the adjudication Of either rights
or wrongs. Despite the fact he is presi-
dent OF the whole people and is supposed
to treat alike the rich and the poor the
white and the black, the Jew and the Gen
tile, yet if any one Of them dares to differ
from his way of thinking he is at once
House. First it was the colored folks of
this country that the doors Of the White
House were closed against and because
delegation of them protested to him against
his segregation acts among the federal en-
ployes. They called his attention to the
fact that thousands Of them had voted for
him in doubtful states and were largely
responsible for his election, and they had
done so because he had publicly promised
to treat them fair in case Of election This
did not meet his approval and they were
forever barred from his presence. Then
that element Of the Democratic party that
opposed his reelection on the grounds that
he had made platform pledge to only be
one-term president and for this they too
were barred from the White House. Then
the women Of the land demanding the right
of equal suffrage and appeared at the White
House to enlist the presidents s aid saw the
doors of the White House forever closed
against them, because they took issue with
him. And thus it goes, do as say or you
can't play in my back yard" The right of
appeal to the chief magistrate of the land
should be the privilege Of every citizen
and resident of this land and country and
those who differ from him should be as
patiently heard as those who agree with
him. It's either childish or tyranical to
close the White House door in any one
face. Oh, for a Roosevelt in the White
House in these times, when mems souls are
being tried, that the country might be run
on broad Republican principals.
