TWO BILLIONS
TO : DERIVED
FRO1iiI<:S'QTAX
Senate Committee Finally Re-
ports Revenue Bill
T- - Iw
INCOME AGAIN HIT
Biggest Still Of All to Be Taken From
Profits on War Gains, But All
Lines Must Pay Part.

Washington, Aug. THE war tax
bill, finally revised to meet latest esti-
mates at Washington, was fayorably
reported yesterday by the senate IL
anace committee. 1t proposes to
raise $4,000, 10000 by taxation. The
houses bill proposed 1885,, 100000 in
new taxes. No provision for addi-
tional bonds to be considered later
by the hour made in the senate
bill.
The revised senate bill strikes out
the retroactive tax upon last years
income, but principally by increasing
surtaxes on wealthy persons and by
doubling the normal tax on corpora
tions, proposes to raise $777OOO,OOO
in addition to the $330,000,000 now se-
cured from incomes. 1t proposes a
levy of s562 100000 on war profits and
extends the tax to individuals in trade
or business as we'll as corporations.
The house tax yield on distilled
spirits of $10O,OO0,000 is raised to
$135, 100000; that on beer from $751;
10000 to $46,000000 and that on
wines from $6,O00,0O0 to $2lOO0,OOO.
A prohibitive tax on further manufac-
ture or importation of distilled bey-
erages also is provided.
The total estimated increase in fed
eral revenues of $2,006,97O,OOO pro-
posed under the amended bill was
said yesterday by Chairman Simmons
and treasury experts tol be conserya'
tive Many believe thay the bill VIII
yield s30,0Q0,0O0 more.
The report defends the elimination
of the so-called Lenroot surtaxes on,
incomes of over $4,000 added in the
house, designed to raise $66,OOO,OOO,
as follows: I'm view of the fact that
in addition to the large increase in
the normal tax and and surtaxes upon
incomes, the bill provides for a large
increase in the war profits tax OF cor
porations and partnerships and in
cludes individuals in the scope OF that
tax, and in view of the probability
that 1t will be necessary hereafter to
further increase these rates in order
to provide for increased war expendi-
lures, your committee believes that
for the present it is inadvisable to in
crease the surtax rates beyond those
proposed in the original house BILL
A new tax of one cent for each 20
cents paid on parcel post packages
was said in the report to remove dis
elimination in favor Of the railroads
and the parcel post.

HIS SEXToN'S SUGGESTION.
Il Was Meant TO Be Sarcastic, but II
Hit Or. Halo Just Right.

Hill Or. Halo just Right.
The sexton of Edward Everett Hale's
church suffered from that convenient
form OF deafness that prevents a man
from hearing what he does not wish to
hear and enables him to hear what he
does wish to hear. Occasionally when
sweeping the sidewalk in front OF the
church some stranger would ask him
for Information, and his usual answer
was wave of the hand. I'm totally
deaf. totally deaf You will have to
ask some one in the church"
1t often happened that DR.. Hale in
the midst OF busy day would find tn.
luncheon hour at hand and an impor
tant appointment still unmet. 1t was
his custom to invite his caller into hl,
study and ask the janitress TO make an
oyster stew. The sexton resented Or
Hales informality
The time came for new sign TO be
placed ON the front Of the church. and
DR.. Hale and the assistant pastor were
standing in the yestry aisle discussing
lust what the wording Of It should be.
To their surprise the conversation was
suddenly interrupted by the deaf sex
ton, who stood far enough away TO
make doubtful the ability Of n normal
persons overhearlng what had been
said "lll tell you what TO put ON that
signw he exclaimed. Come in! Ev-
erybody welcome! Meals served at all
hours of the day and night"
"All right" said DR. Hale quickly.
"Thats what we will do. I've always
wanted to call this church the Exeter
clubw-Youth's Companion.
