ISSUES SMALL BANK NOTES

Toszio, Dec. s-The issue of 3o,- 900, ,0oo yen worth of 50, 20 and 10 sen bank notes has thus been approved by imperial ordinance. This emergency measure, as explained by the ministry of finance. is due to the unusual do- velopment of business since the out. break of the war and the inability of the government mint to keep pace with the demand for sanallep silver coins. The term of the issue is fixed at one year from the conclusion of peace. Concurrently with the issue the government will manufacture si1 yer coins equal in amount to the notes issued. This amount is to be held at the Bank of Japan to provide for the exchaags and the gradual withdrawal 'of the paper noesA

LOST FIRST ROUND
JOhnSOn'S so Per Cent War
Profit Tax Is Beaten.
But He viii Try as Low as so
Per Cent, He Says.

Washington, Sept. LIN the first
test of strength between senate radi-
Gals and conservatives on war profits
taxa ton the radicals were defeated
when the senate rejected the maxi
mum amendment of Senator Johnson
of California for gross levy of 80 per
cent on war profits. The vote on the
Johnson amendment was 62 to II.
Senator johnson now will offer an
other amendment taxing profits about
necessary, to scale as low as so per
cent
The finance committee. confident
of beating Johnson and Borah's fol-
lowers, believes 40 per cent is enough
tax on war profits, because Individual
incomes are taxed by the bill at a rate
higher than that in effect in any other
country.
The Johnson Borah group says the
committee will be forced to raise it's
conscriptions do not get what they
want.
LaFollette is waiting only for ac-
ton on the johnson group of amend
ments before jumping into the fight
for eight amendments levying a flat
tax on war profits of from AS to ~
per cent.
Division in the ranks of those op-
posing the committee bill has stirred
such confidence among the wealth
conscrpition foes that they now pre-
dict the measure as finally adopted
the committee draft. This would in
clude consumption taxes on tea. cof-
fee and sugar. but a big fight will be
waged to eliminate these.
Premium on Hoodwinking U. $.
Washington, Sept. LIN a scathing
attack on the senate finance commit
tee. Senator johnson. California, to-
day declared its plans of computing
war profits will put premium on
the ability of corporations to hood
wink and exploit the government"
He spoke on his amendment taxin g
war profits 80 per cent.
The committee had said to us
wait, pause, hesitate, before taking so
much of the war profits Of the coun-
try's great business concerns" he
said.
What the great profit making cor
porations want is that We shall wait
until the war is over, until they have
slowed away their swollen profits, un-
til the government can no longer
touch them.
when the committee first pre-
sented it's bill. we were told by its
chairman that $500. 100000 additional
war profits taxes it levied was the
very limit of safety.
Then a few days later the COM
mittee added $500, 100000 to the war
profits taxes. They had gone the
limit of safety to business before, re-
member, and now, with great ease.
they raise the limit half "A billion dol
lars more
Now the committee deals not with
war profits but with profits generally.
We want war profits only We'd pro-
tect normal business. normal profits,
normal industry. But VIC want to
reach the strong arm of he govern
ment out to take war profits with the
same enthusiasm we showed in throw
ing the youth of the land into the
melting pot of war

FIND BANDIT HUT
Chicago Police Breaking Up
"Base" for Payroll RObberies.
Wheed, Leader, COwed "PaIs"
With Superman Influence.

Chicago. Sept. 1.-The local police
today continued to find evidence of a
well organized gang of bandits as they
sought the two remaining implicated
in the killing of two express messen-
gers and theft of $S,774 last Tuesday
by payroll robbers.
Edward Taylor's confession late last
night of the part he played in the
organization as outside man led to the
discovery of a hut in the suburbs
where police say the bandits laid plans
for a number of robberies which have
occurred this year.
Ammunition, burglar tools and ex-
plosives were found in the building.
The arrest of Edward Wheed and the
confession of his ''paI' Taylor, the po-
lice say, ends payroll robberies here.
Cowed Pals to Will.
Wheed, according to those who
knew him, eXerted superhuman in
fluence over his followers and cowed
them into doing his will. Twelve
spectacular robberies are attributed to
Wheed. In each instance, however,
he is said to have worked with a diff
ferent gang. Taylor, a1tho admitting
knowledge of the crime. had no part
in it according to the police. Seventy
five men including Wheed, Taylor and
Charles Carrao, are being held. Car
rao and Wheed are both said to have
made admissions that practically will
amount to confessions
