California Member Ar

posed War Revenue Bill
Incomes Likely To
Be Assessed More
Liquor To Be Made to Pay
Instead of Necessities

Especial Correspondence

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-HigheI
taxes for war profits and on incomes
were virtually assured to-day at the
conclusion of a powerful arrangement
Of the schedules of the revenue bill by
Senator Hiram Johnson, of California
Senators who it had been thought
would vote for the committee report
through thick and thin rushed over to
the desk of the famous Californian, as
surfing him of support, and the best
that the committee is hoping for now Is
a compromise, wnder which the war
profits and income tax schedules would
be revised upward, while many Of the
other taxes will be eliminated or re-
duced
Senator Johnson's speech was fol-
lowed by a strong argument along
much the same line by Senator Hollis,
of New Hampshire. 1t will be fol-
lowed in a day or so by an argument
urging the same changes in the bill by
Senator Borah, so that almost every
element, save that generally designated
as old line on both sides Of the cham
Ter, is swinging in behind the proposal
to raise most Of the taxes, if not all OF
them, from war profits, incomes and
liquor.
The California members most telling
point was that it had been urged that
the United States should take advan-
tage of England's experience and go
TO the draft at once, but that the same
argument did not seem to appeal so
strongly when the action of England in
taking war profits was mentioned. Eng
land, he said, is taking 50 per cent OF
the war profits. The Senate commit
tee bill would take less than 20 per

hold that metals, such as copper, zlnc'
lead and others, should not be sold even
to the government at too low 3
price. Unless good prices are PAID
they say, there will be no incentive 70

Though the Germans during the initial

Inspector Grants Lunch
interrupted BY d. A. R.

d. A. r. politicians electioneerinE in a
downtown cafe yesterday noon wrought
havoc with Inspector Clifford Grants
luncheon.
They caused the inspector to eat cold
wheat cakes, when he likes them hot
and covered with butter and maple
syrup. Blocked traffic In the rear Of the
chair occupied by him was the cause of
the cooling OF the stack Of wheats.
The inspector had been called away
from his seat. Before he could make his
way back the waitress deposited a steam
ing stack Of cakes at the place. Just
then a daughter, bent on electing her
own best friend to some coveted office,
took a stand at the rear of the chair
which should have been occupied by the
Inspector. She plead the cause of her
champion for several moments. During
the pleading the inspector was separat-
ed from his food, with the result that it
cooled.

to be taken to help the interests of the
country, students, alumni, and faculty
of the Georgetown University in the

evidenced their loyalty and desire ito
serve"
2 Rev. Alphonsus ]. DonIon, S. J., pres
ident of the college. outlined a plan to
have an Officers Reserve Corps at the
college, under the supervision of the War
Department. The sentiment of the stu
dents was for immediate participation in
the war. Father Donlon. however, eau
toned that every American citizen could
and would give his body to the defense
OF the country, but that he thought that
a college man, with a trained mind,
would be of far greater use to the
country in directing a company of men.
The War Department does not want
to take the boys from the colleges" he
said. but to build up an army OF col
lege men who can train, while they
study, 50 that when the real emergency
comes they can. and will, be trained.
What the country needs today Is trained
men. Every high official of the govern
ment has harped on this theme. This
college was founded ut the same time
that the Constitution of the United States
was adopted. and II always has lived up
to true American tradition and tried to
develop the spirit of the Constitution.
Commissioner Brownlow said that the
army needs 5000 trained officers; that
they must be men with trained minds,
and that the colleges OF the country
could turn out better trained men than
any other source.
Chief Justice J. Harry Covington, of
the Supreme Court OF the District Of Co
lumbia, told the students that prepared

OF Virginia, rose in her gallery seat and
demanded to know II there was anything

committee"
A young storm shook Continental Me-
mortal Hall as Mrs. William Cumming
Story, president general, jumped to the
frent OF the stage and in a stinging re-
buke. characterized the attack as "a
shameful lie." The chairman of this
committee, said Mrs. Story, was not only
honest, but bonded, so for the time be-
Ing the incident was closed. A few min
