WAR REVENUE BILL
Passes Senate. ::Borah Would
COnsCTipt Wealth.


The war tax bill passed the United
States senate Sept. 10 by a vote OF SO
to4, Senators Borah, Gronna, La
Toilette and Norris being recorded In
opposition. 1t goes back to the house
for approval OF amendments in con-
fereoce and is expected to he enacted
into law within 10 days.
The bill provides for a levy OF
nearly 2400 million dollars-the
largest single taxation measure 10
American history. AS it passed the
house May %. the bill proposed a levy
Of slightly less than 1863 millions.
or the 24O0 millions new taxes
provided in the tax bill for the dura-
tion OF the war $s42. 200, 600 is to be
taken from incomes, corporations and
individuals, and ST., ,O60, 100000 from
war profits. Most of the remainder
is levied on luxuries, tobacco and
public utilities.
The senate rejected, SIS gtol5,Sthe1
LaFoIlette substitute bill to raise
$500 million dollars more money by
more heavily taxing war profits and
excess profits.
In a speech in the senate on the
war revenue bill, Senator Borah Of
Idaho advocated the taking of all
incomes above $4,000 year, and
stated, after citing the increasing
war expense estimates of Secretary
McAdoo, he believed they ultimately
would reach between $22, 900, 900
aud $23, 900, ,OOO.0 and possibly
$25, 200, 900, 900 for the first year, in
cludlng loans to the allies.
This bill probably will inally pro-
vide $2,5o0, 100000 in taxes" he
continued. ",rhere is no record In
history of such shrinking from duty
by legislative body. Congress has
met this war with courage and ampli-
tude of means, but when we meet
taxation we shrink from performance
OF our manifest duty.
''Is So, 500. 100000 In taxes the
standard of patriotism that men
of wealth are willing 10 contribute to
the war: / do not believe it,"
Senator Borah read statements Of
President Wilson, Bonar Law and
Lloyd George regarding possible in-
fiation from large bond issues aud
necessity for reasonable ameuntof
taxes. He cited England's 80 per
cent levy on war taxes after two years
of war and asked:
"Are we not better able to meet an
so per cent tax at the beginning OF
the war than England after two
years of It? On what theory can ii
be SAID that we would break down
business or make the war unpopular
IL business makes 20 per cent more
out of war than in peace. What a
pity it is that dollars and cents ar,
not flesh and blood, that we might
lay the conscripting hand of the gov
ernment upon them and bring them
to the support of the war!
"Afier business efficiency isprotect-
ed, would take every dollar ovel
Sl0, of the income of every man IL
the United States"
The Idaho senator presented stats
tics regarding the amount Of profits
based upon last years earnings. tha
big business concerns would retail
even If a go per cent war profits rat
was adopted. He said Du Pom

Arthur Wing Pinero's "Iris"
Is Booked for Empress Screen

Ihe Empress theater announces
that they have arranged booking of
Iris" Sir Arthur Wing Pinero's play,
and will present it in film form the
last three days of this week as Pathe
Gold Rooster play. "'Iris" was played
in this country by Virginia Harmed,
Lynne Harding and William Courte-
nay. In discussing the picture the
management said, "Iris' is a strong
photoplay, acted and produced, how
ever, with good taste and with
strength. The character OF Maldo-
nado is particularly picturesque, with
his cold scheming to possess the
beautiful woman about whose lovely
face and figure the story revolves and
his warm protestations of undying
love for her. His actions are not those
of an Anglo-Saxon and Henry Ain
ly's work in the role is therefore
worthy of praise. The fame of Sir
Arthur Wing Pinero, the almost SEN
sational story and the beauty Of Miss
Alma Taylor make Iris a picture
which should not be missed"
