EVERYBODY MUST HELP

ped too lightly and the purse of the
poor man and the man Of average
means is hit too heavily in proportion.
These senators hold this belief on the
premises that so long as the poor and
the man of average means are in the
great majority when it comes to
fighting. the very wealthy should be
more heavily responsible for the fin
ancial part OF the war.
Senator LaFollette, Wisconsin, has
a minority report, signed by Thomas,
Colorado, and Gore, Oklahoma, which
would raise the entire $780, 1000. 900

more than $1,000, 1000, 900, swollen in

balance derived from internal revenue
taxes.
Every class of people, however,
will be affected under the tax bill re-
ported by the majority-from the man
who will have to pay one per cent
tax for owning an automobile to those
who will have to pay five cents on
every telephone or telegraph message
costing more than Is cents, five per
cent on amounts paid for pullman
seats costing more than 35 cents, and
everybody will have to pay one cent
more to mail letter.
It will cost more to buy sporting
goods; more to own yachts; the girls
will suffer from a tax on cosmetics

Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, July 3.-With the
wet" and dry" fight owing in bit
terness and the shadow of the new
cloture rule over the chamber, the
senate resumed debate on the food
bill at eleven o'clock today.
The usually mild tactics of Sena
tor Chamberlain, in charge Of the bill
have given way to sharper general
ship. His aides. friends Of the food
bill on both sides Of the senate are
buckling on their armament prepared
to use vigorous efforts to shatter any
attempted filibuster.
Chamberlain said early today that
he is going to have record vote on q
limited debate rule, "for the benefit
Of the country" The vote probably
will come Thursday.
Meantime conferences went on
while the senate talked on amend.
ments to the food bill. If 1t is seen
that no cloture can possibly be
adopted until after the dry" amend.
ment to the measure Is disposed of, 1t
is likely an effort will be made to
vote on that amendment very soon.
Both "wets" and "drys" today were
charging each other with being re-
sponsible for delaying passage OF the
food bill.
Hits . New Snag.
WASHINGTON, July, 3-The senate
food control bill hit new snag today.
Fresh revolt and confusion is seeth-
ing in the chamber.
Southern senators learned that cot
ton dropped eight points when the
senate included that product in the
control measure yesterday. AS a re-
suit today the senators. some Of them
foremost administration leaders
have become "bears" on the bill.
They say they won't vote for clo-
ture rule, they won't agree to time
for voting and they won't approve the
bill in it's present form.
This new development temporarily
shattered hopes of those in charge Of
the bill that vote would be possible
within few days.
While efforts were made to appease
the new element of uprising, 1t was
decided to postpone introduction OF
cloture until late today or tomorrow
and possibly the end of the week. In
stead, Senator Chamberlain made an
other attempt to get unanimous con-
sent to vote Thursday but was once
more blocked by objection of Senator
Penrose, Pennsylvania Senator Jones
"dry" leader, then rose
to exhort newspaper correspondents
to let the country know that this
time at least it is not the friends of
temperance who are delaying passage
of this measure"

! WASHINGTON. July 3.-Every en-
ergy of the provost marshal generals
Office turned today toward finishing
the multitude of preparations for the
human lottery of the draft within
two weeks.
AS the first move, kilograms were
| sent out today to each local board to
rush their organization and complete
their preliminary duties by next Sat-
urday, July Z. BY that time General
Crowder hopes to have every one of
the 100000 registration cards desig-
mated with their key" numbers and
copies in the capital.
With this tremendous task finished,
every thing is ready for the lottery of
men. The stage is being set for the
drawing in Washington.
In an office of the war department
the numbers will be chosen at rand
ON. AS each number is pulled out it
will be flashed by telegraph to every
local board In the country.
Each number drawn will Indicate
about 4,590 men-the men assigned
that number in each specified precinct
In each state
With the exception Of New York
City, all Of the local exemption boards
are appointed. Many of them are or
ganized and ready for duty. They are
ordered to give each registration card
serial number irrespective Of al
phabetical order. These names and
numbers will be posted publicly and
published in the press. A copy must
be sent to the war department in
Washington and the adjutant general
of the state.
Meantime, nominations are coming
in for the district or appellate boards
of exemption. Greatest care is being
taken with these appointments as
they have the most difficult task of
the draft exemption for occupational
grounds and review Of appeals.
The quotas Of men each state must
furnish for the armies is being f1gur-
ed by the provost marshal generals
office. To aid In the fair apportion-
ment, General Crowder called upon
the census bureau for a set of revised
estimates of the states population.
In making up the estimates the bu-
reau is taking into consideration the
total registration of each state to
avoid penalizing the states in which |
registration failed to equal the former
estimates
