Washington, May ia vigorous
movement to increase the proposed
income surtaxes Of the war revenue
bill 25 per cent. on all amounts
above $4,000 started in the house
today under the leadership of Repre-
sentative Lenroot (Republican) of
Wisconsin and Representative Sher-
ley (Democrat) Of Kentucky. Over
the determined opposition Of Demo
cratic Leader Kitchin and Represen-
tatives Fordney Of Michigan and Hill
of Connecticut (Repub blicans), the in
surgents succeeded in obtaining in
the committee of the whole their pro-
posed increase from to 10 per
cent. on incomes. between $4,000 and
100000 and tomorrow they will re-
sumo their fight, determined to ele-
vate every division until incomes
above s500,000 would be paying al
n.ost so per cent.
Should the proposed increases pre-
vail there will be an attempt to strike
light and heat taxes and possibly the
increased second class mail matter
rate. Unoficia, estimates are that
the proposed 25 per cent. increase
would net approximately s100,000,-
coo.
Party lines were obliterated and
appeals of Republican and Democrat
&c ways and means committee mem
ters for support seemed to fall on
deaf ears.
An attempt TO increase the surtax
beginning at $4,000 was defeated.
The proposed rate between $1,000 and
$500 is i per cent. and Represen-
tative Sherley sought to have this
doubled. -.
An overwhelming vote rejected the
proposal Then Representative Sher-
ley joined in support of the Lenroot
plan to add 25 per cent. to the sehee-
ule Of surtaxes on incomes over S4o,-

CENSORSHIP ESTABLISHED

Without waiting for action by Con-
gress, Secretary Lansing has insti-
tuted a censorship of news from the
State Department which clamps down
a lid far stronger than any which is
to be found in any foreign Office in
Europe. Not only are und~er-oficials
of the State Department forbidden to
talk to any newspaper men about any
matter, however insignificant of fact
or detail, but any of them who utters
a word upon which a criticism of the
administrations war policy may be
based will be instantly dismissed. The
prevailing atmosphere in Washington
just now is not conducive to the ie-
velopment of freedom. 1t is small
wonder that a Senator met a Con-
gresham the other day and said,
How are your" when the Congress
man replied, Il would like to tell you,
but the censorship forbids it.

TO STIMULATE ENTHUSIASM

Congressman Walter NJ. Chandler
of New York says: I'VE should at
once inject into the war the elements
of sentiment. imagination and enthu-
siasm." He fears that the people OF
the country are not backing with sufi-
cient vigor the action of Congress in
declaring war, and that they need to
be appealed to in a that will
arouse them to the vital necessities of
the hour. Mr.. Chandler is a student
of the campaigns of Napoleon, and
calls attention to the fact that that
great leader well recognized tue
power of proper appeals to the imagi-
nation of men, and more than nee
resorted to that means to accomplish
his ends. In line with his theory, Mr..
Chandler has been a strong supporter
of Mr.. Roosevelt's proposition to take
an army to France at an early date,
contending that the colonel's "indomi-
table energy, superb optimism and
boundless enthusiasm" would 90
much to stimulate patriotic interest
in the war in this country as well as
in France.

NO ROOM FOR JEALOUSY

1t is probable that Joe Letters dis
tinguished brother-in-law, Lord Cur
zon, now a member of the British gov
eminent, will not agree with Joe in
his opinion that Colonel Roosevelt
should not take an American division
to France. Both French and English
are anxious to have American CO.
operation in the trenches at the earli-
est possible moment. There are mill
tary and moral results to be derived
from American participation in the
war; and it is automatic in warfare
that moral and military advantages
should be seized upon and utilized at
the earliest opportunity. The colonel
presents such an opportunity. Oar
allies ask for it. Why should jeal-
ousy be permitted to stand in the
way?

EDITOR IMPROVES ON
MAIL SERVICE

A striking illustration of the absurd
business methods of the Postofice
Department in the handling of mail
is furnished by Congressman Edmund
Plat of New York. Mr.. Plat lives in
the city of Poukhkeepsie. on the Hud-
son. Directly across the river is the
town of Highland. A ferry and a
railroad bridge connect the two COM
munities, but instead of utilizing those
means of transportation in carrying
mail from one place to the other 1t
is sent seventy-ive miles up one side
of the river to Albany, and brought
down seventy-fve miles on the other
side to its destination. Mr.. Plat is
the publisher of a newspaper, and he
has found that it does not pay. either
in time or money, to send his papers
one hundred and fifty miles to get
them two miles, so he patronizes the
ferry.
