as Opposed to Admins
tratiOn Act.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 10.-Chair-
man Simmons explaining to the senate
today the finance committees pur-
poses in redrafting the war tax bill.
declared changes made will greatly
Increase the taxes on big corporations
which have profited from the war.
In detailed statement Senator Sim
mons said the committee had weighed
every schedule carefully in weeks of
consideration and the bill as now pre-
sented would place the tax where IL
belonged without working injustice to
any one. He did not complete his
statement and will continue tomorrow.
without mentioning his name, the
North Carolina senator replied at
length to Chairman Kitchin of the
house ways and means committee,
who recently charged that the senate
committee had rewritten the house
bill so as to favor prosperous corpora
| tions and individuals. On the con-
trary the senator insisted the senate
revision would tax the prosperous
much more heavily than had the house
| bill. The house. he said, had been
far too lenient with those who had
"reaped this harvest of gold"
War Profits Must Pay.
Certain corporations in this coun-
try are going to he made to disgorge
In order to pay the expenses of this
war, very considerable proportion Of
their inGSmes," said Senator Simmons.
The 1916 war profits exceeded
$4,000, 100000. The house bill pro-
posed ridiculously small sum from
the swollen war profits. 1t was en-
tirely too lenient to the men who have
reaped this harvest of gold-gold they
exacted out of the earnings of those
who must bear the burdens of this
struggle
Precedent for Flat Rate.
Senator Simmons said those who
criticise the senate committee because
It submitted a graduated tax on cor
porations' war profits for flat rate
of s per cent as levied by the house
did not understand the situation. He
declared that out of fourteen coun-
tries having such a tax only Canada
and Spain impose war profits tax
on basis other than the plan out
lined by the committee
Defending the committees con-
sumption tax on sugar, tea and cof-
Zee, ne Salu the original house bill
levied just about as much tax in other
forms on these articles. He denied
charges that the senate bill favored
the railroads.
Many senators have prepared
speeches and a long debate is expected.
Senator La Toilette is preparing a
minority report in conjunction with
Senator's Thomas and Gore and hopes
to be able to present 1t tomorrow.

When Wallace N. Robinson. owner

mere "cinch" compared to the titanic
task which he has just been assigned
by Uncle Sam, Mr.. Robinson admitted
on his arrival in Tulsa last night.

For Uncle Samuel, thru his chief
food dictator, Herbert f.. Hoover, has
just accorded Mr.. Robinson the role
of not only providing for the larder
of his Tulsa and Kansas City hotels
but in outlining the plan of menu for
virtually every hostelry thruout the
middle west. As one of three mem
bers of the federal food conservation
board, thru appointment by Mr.
Hoover two weeks ago. Mr.. Robinson.
in reality becomes a dictator" him
self Dictator Hoover will supervise
the job, as commander-in-ch chief of
the food forces, but Mr.. Robinson will
be held responsible for making the
hotel men toe the mark.
Confcrs with Hoover.
Mr.. Robinson arrived in Tulsa yes
terday almost Immediately after a
conference in Washington with Mr.
Hoover. Plans were outlined at this
meeting for enlisting hotels of the
nation in a food conservation cam
paign, designed to promote economy
in both service and the products. A
specimen of the foods, whose use will
be encouraged, was provided at the
Lions club luncheon at Hotel Tulsa
thursday noon when meats, potatoes
and pastries gave way to baked beans,
stewed turnip and rice. 1t is pro-
posed to serve such meals as this GER
tain days of the week, and by so do
ing to make more certain that the
masses may be fed, and primarily
that the federal boards "F. o. b."
slogan will result in feeding our boys

night. MANY ideas were broached
and the campaign outlined thoroly at
our conference at the national capital

WEST V|RG|N|ANS IN
OFFICERS SCHOOL
French Experts Teaching
the Latest Methods at
Camp Lee.
ON Associated Press,

CAMP LEE, PETERSBURG, Va,
| Nov. 14.-The new school for the Of
ficers and non-commissioned officers
at the national army camp here has
been opened. Tho school is under
the supervision of the French army
officers who came here from duty on
the western front in France. A num-
Der of West Virginia commissioned
officers, who attended the first Off.
GERS Reserve Training Camp at Fort
Benjamin Harrison, are pupils in the
school as vel as the non.commission.
ed officers OF all the West Virginia
companies.
The latest methods employed in the
war by the French armies will be
taught the officers. Consignments OF
machine guns are arriving at the
camp every day and lessons will be
given in the mechanism of the guns
to be followed by lessons in their op-
Grafton.
Long hikes are being used to put
the West Virginians in condition for
the more strenuous training to come.
At first only short distances were
covered, as many OF the men, espec.
tally those coming from offices and
other indoor work, were found to be
soft and unused to long walks. Each
day the distance has been increased,
until now most of the companies. are
able to march from eight to ten miles
day without great discomfort.
Many of the men in camp are said
to be taking advantage of the FEEDER
al insurance act which allows men
in service to take out insurance in
favor of their relatives. Because of
the cheapness of the government in.
surance, many men who have never
considered seriously the matter of in.
surance, are said to be making ap.
plication.

rHE RED BADGE OF SERVICE,

The little Red Cross we are wearing
In this day of turmoil and strife,
Tells of deeds Of love and mercy
That oft times saves the life
OF soldier who is lighting a battle
At the front In PARKWAY France.
He has left his home, his friends, his
all,
To play in the great game of chance,
For there is only chance in a hun
bred
That he will return at all.
But another chance that his life may
be saved
II at the front he should fall,
And the Red Cross would rush to his
rescue
Through the firing line ere It be toe
late,
And with loving hands and tender
care,
Save him from terrible fate.
So those who remain In the home
land.
In plenty and comfort and care,
Pray, don't be "slackers," but give
US your name
And dollar or more, II you please,
To equip us for the task that we are
called to do
That we may administer to the needs
OF the boys who are fighting for you.
fl they can face the lannon's mouth
And are not afraid Of it,
Surely you will not be towards
When you are called to do your bit.
So wear the red badge of service
To show that your heart is right,
And in helping the American Red
Cross work
You will be helping to win the fight.
"A. P. q.
