ADVISE REDUCING 10 GENT TAX ON
 OLEOMARCARINE

Washington, Dec. 1-Reduction of the 10 cent a pound tax on colored oleomargarine, both as a war meas ure to increase the production of food fats and as a means of actually yield ing more aggregate revenue was rec commended in the annual report of the internal revenue bureau, issued today over the name of w. H. Osborn, who has recently been succeeded as com missioner by Daniel c. Roper. An other recommendation prompted by war conditions was that the govern ment should assume control, manu- facture and use of narcotic drugs needed so badly for the Red Cross work
 The report cited the $SO9, ,3O3,O00 in ternal revenue receipts for the fiscal year ended last June 30 as the larg- est in the history of the bureau" but pointed out that even that record would be broken by the estimated re- ceipts for the current year under the new war tax law of $3,400, 100000. The greatest source of taxation was distilled liquors, tEe production of which showed a marked increase de- spite the extension of prohibition ter ritory.
 Referring to the existing tax on oleomargarine, the report said:
 "At this time of urgent need of in- creased revenue and of conservation of food supply, especially the fats made necessary by the war, attention is invited to the wisdom and desira- bility of a revision of the oleomar- garine law to impose a. flat tax of a nominal rate on the product, which would not only produce greater rev enue, but would give the masses of the people of this country opportunity to buy this wholesome food product without the additional burden of the heavy poundage tax"
 The principal collections last year were as follows:
 Distilled spirits, s187,288, ,OO0; fer mented liquors, $91,094,OOO; individ- ual income tax, s180,1OS, ,oOO; corpor- ation income tax, $179,539, ,O00; man. ufactured tobacco, $102, 2,230,000; mu- milton manufacture tax, now discon- tinued, $27,663, 900; miscellaneous special taxes, s23,371 900.

HOLLAND AGREES TO OUR DEMANDS
 FOR SHIPPING

Washington, Dec. 1-Negotiations I with Holland concerning exportations of foodstuffs from the United States and the use of the Dutch merchant marine in the American trade, have been concluded An agreement has been arrived at by the government here with the Dutch minister and Dutch mission. It is expected an an- nouncement of the details will be made next week. The agreement makes available for the benefit of American commerce approximately 5O0,OO0 tons of Dutch shipping
 A member of the Dutch mission sailed from the United States ten days ago for The Hague, where he will acquaint the Dutch government with all the details of the arrange ment. He will explain points which may arise in the minds of the minis ters.
 Only the formal acceptance by The Hague of the agreement is necessary. to put it into operation Officials here believed the dispatch of a member of the mission to make the necessary explanations would be better than at tempting to transmit the information by cable or by mail.
 Special stipulations are made in the l agreement that the use of Dutch ves- sels shall be private and not public. Otherwise, Holland would be guilty
 of an infraction of her neutrality. It lic o1e cbo1 tho
 submarine zone.
 The Dutch ships will engage in the carrying trade, between the Americas,
 between Australia, China, Japan and other Far Eastern countries and the
 United States, and transport relief supplies to Belgium.
 The agreement provides Dutch ships shall not be available for the trans portation of war supplies to France,
 England or Italy, but shall be avail able for traffic between Asiatic Rus
 sia and America, providing the con-
 tracts are negotiated by private indi-. viduals and not by agents of the United States government. 1 Holland will receive a stipulated
 amount of grain, principally wheat,
 and a few other commodities, chiefly
 raw materials necessary for her in-
 dustries. The delivery of wheat would
 begin in February, as Holland has a
 supply on hand sufficient to meet her
 requirements up to that time. She
 will receive no feedstuffs for cattle.
 On this account she has been obliged to slaughter a considerable quantity
 of live stock.
 | The Netherlands government agrees
 to provide guarantees that none of
 the products imported from the Unit i ed States shall be re-exported into
 Germany.

SENATE WILL KILL 1 PEACE RESOLUTIONS
Democrats and Republicans De-
 eide on Quick Action.

Washington, Aug. 17.-No peace senate calling upon President Wilson at this time to define the aims of the United States in the war or to sug- gest any policy for him to follow in dealing with Germany. That was definitely decided late yesterday at a conference of democratic and repub-
 l1can leaders of the senate after Sen ator King of Utah had conferred with
 the president at the White House.
 The program of the senate is to all
 low Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin
 to bring up his peace resolution any
 time he wishes, and. after brief de-
 bate on it, to kill it by a decisive vote
 Any effort in the meantime to get any other peace resolution through will
 bo dealt with by consigning the reso-
 lution to the table. to stay there
 until the La Toilette measure is brought up.
 The senate is determined to end by ! an overwhelming vote all efforts to embarass the administration by at
 tempting to dictate policy as to peace overtureS. Senator La Toilette and any other supporters of his reso- lution may talk as long as they wish. When they have exhausted them selves the scheme Is to have some democratic leader, who Is likely to be
 Senator John Sharp Williams of Mis- sissippi, and some republican leader, probably Senator Lodge of Massa = chusetts, answer for both sides of the chamber After these two speeches have been made the leaders will in- sist upon vote on tho resolution Senate leaders say tho La Toilette ! resolution cannot. have more than seven supporting votes-Gore, Norris, l Vardaman, Stone, Gronna.\ Kirby and La Toilette himself. If all of these senators insist upon being heard 1t
New Britain herald., 1917-08-17

is likely that the senate will have at least a full day and possibly two or three of peace debate. And that will be the end of it.
 Senator Stone is to have his own resolution ready for next week. but it will have to wait until Senator La Follettes comes up. After the defeat of La Follette's measure, Stones, It is planned, will be quickly voted down.
 The various resolutions of adminis- tratiOn supporters affirming cOnfi dence in the president and the con- viction that the war must go on to a conclusive end will be allowed to re- main upon the record, with no effort to pass them.
 Senator King conferred with the other senate leader for an hour after his talk with the president, and the program respecting the peace resolu- tions was evolved after MT. King had urged that policy as being agreeable to the executive.
 Senator La Follette's resolution will lie on the table until after the War Revenue bill is voted upon which Is expected to be at the end of next week The peace debate prob- ably will not come up until week from next Monday.

It will not be a great while now before 513 men, New Britains quota for the National army, marches away from this city to report to their can- tonment. 327 men have already of- fered their services for the sake of democracy. This makes a total of 500 men that New Britain will be represented by in the fighting forces of Uncle Sam. This is a notable record.
