ARMY BEHIND RUSSIA
Itself to support New Govt
Sticks To Allies.

Copen hagen. April 27.-Far from
being affected by the tremendous ana
insidious Germanic pressure for sep
arate peace, Russia's ties with the en-
tente allies are slowly Strengthening,
according to information reaching
here today thru diplomatic channels.
What was regarded by pro-allies
here as. the most interesting evidence
of Russfa's Increasing war power
against the Teutons was information
of highest authenticity that the Rus
sian army has repledged itself to war
Back in the early revolutionary days
il was known here that large per-
centage of these in the Russian army
supported a war policy on promise to
them that they would not themselves
be sent to the front.
The provisional governments plan
of sending it's leaders to the various
fronts to explain in detail to the SOL
diers the plans of the new regime and
the menace of Germany, has proved
very successful. Word received here
is that there is unanimity on all fronts
among all soldiers now that the pro-
visional governments war program
must be carried thru.
There were various other moves re-
ported from Russia in which diplo-
mats protested to see the weaving of
even closer and tighter bonds between
Russia and England and France For
that reason there is the greatest inter-
est here in he forthcoming note to its
allies, announced as impending by the
Petrograd officials.

WILL CONSIDER WAR TAXATION
Norwich Chamber of Commerce Asked Vote Reeren- dunn Dealing With Raising of Huge Sums for Govern ment Use-War Borrowing Leads to Exravagance.

In view of the interest of business men in the great task of financing the war and the urgency for action, the National Chamber has called upon the Norwich Chamber for quick consid- eration of a referendum just sent out. Commercial organizations everywhere are displaying at the present time, intense patriotism and desire to aid. Tn order that the opinion of the busi- ness men shall make itself felt and be of service to congress in forthcoming legislation, it must be expressed with all possible promptness. days are allowed, but advices received from the secretary of the National Chamber has explained that a definite result could be recorded after two- thirds of the entire voting strength of the National Chamber had expressed itself in favor of a proposition.
 In the referendum submitted to the Norwich Chamber, the National Chamber committee recommends that:
 Approximately s4oo, ,oo0, ,0oo of the amount raised by taxation in the first year should be obtained, as a war measure, from increased individual i'm come taxes, through such increased super-taxes and decreased exemptions as the committee recommends.
 Approximately $2e0, 900, 900 of the amount raised by taxation in the first year should be obtained, as a war measure, by additions to the present excess profits tax, with amendments of the law which the committee rec ommends.
 The first-class postage rates, as a war measure, should be increased fifty ger cent, to yield approximately s100.- 100000 in the first year.
 Stamp taxes should be imposed, as war measure, to yield approximate " s250.000,000 in the first year.
 Customs duties should be imposed, as a<war revenue measure, on articles to yield about s1eO, ,00o, 900 in the first year.
 Excise taxes should be imposed. as war measure, upon a list of articles would yield about $500, 1000 in the first year.
 Retroactive taxes should not be im- posed upon incomes and profits.
 The amount of exemption from thf
Norwich bulletin., 1917-05-09

capital-stock tax should be decreased from $Ss,0 900 to s24,oo0.
 It is the invariable practice of the National Chamber in submitting a ref erendum to give an abstract of the arguments against the committee re- port, The main heads of arguments in the case in question are: (a) The report indicates it is desirable to raise through taxation large sum for the Initial budget of war expenditure. Against this position it can be fairly argued that the tendency of taxation which in large part falls upon pro- duction, whether by individuals or by modern business units, is contrary to present national interest. tb) Large Initial additions to taxation will lead to subsequent difficulties if the war continues for any eonsiderabie period. Co Taxation should not be used for social and economic purposes, and es- pecially not In a time of war.
 The universal sentiment of the bus mess men throughout the country Is that a few should not be permitted to profit greatly by the war at the ex- pense of many, the committee de- clares. Industry owing to large prof. It's secured during the last two years Is in an uncommonly strong position and able to bear it's full taxation.
 War borrowing leads to extrava- gance; war taxation leads to econ on1y, the report goes on. Through war taxation a. direct and immediate check can be placed on extravaganza in individual consumption. This sets free labor and capital for the produc- ton of military supplies and food for ourselves and for others, and tends to reduce the cost of such supplies to the government, which in turn re- duces the taxation necessary.
 It is a possible but most undesira- ble policy, 1t is declared, to finance a war altogether from bond issue. Gov ernment financing through war loans which are derived from savings do not occasion an advance in prices. It is therefore of the utmost importance that in placing war loans every effort should be made to lodge the bonds with those who will make payment from savings.
 The secretary will call a meeting of the board of directors to act upon Referendum No. 20 for May IS.
