VAR TAX BILL COMES
 IN FOR CRITICISM
u,rufacturers, Distillers ct al. Ms%R Sav Rates Ruinous-Some Re- or oDrrssentatives Want Higher Tax on Big Incomes.

uosbington, May 11.-While the r,so debate on the $1,S00,OOO war ..v n' hill was getting under way today, 'a coroto finance committee heard aolent % protests from big and little ..torosts on which the new war levies would fall.
 Manufacturers who would have to
 tho increased excess profits tax, Mstilers l brewers and soda fountain ;ntorosts affected by the higher rate on alcoholic and soft drinks and to- bacco companies hit by the tobacco tov all told the Senate committee that thov faced ruin if the bill went through as presented in the House. Nearly every witness declared his norticular business seemed to have been made the target for an unjust and exorbitant tax.
 In the House, too, many portions of the bill were under fire but the re- nlv of Democratic and Republican leaders in charge was that the money mnst be raised and only high taxes could provide it. Representative Fordney of Michigan, ranking Repub- lican on the ways and means com mttee, made four-hour speech for the measure. He said he agreed with Democratic Leader Kitchin that the bill had some faults but that on the whole it was equitable and should be passed to meet the war emergency.
