NOGALES FIGHT ENDS
U. S. ANo MEXICO ARRIVE AT AN
AGREEMENT.
Civilians Are Blamed for Trouble on
the Mexican Border-Three
Americans Killed.

Nogales, Ariz., Aug. 30.--All danger
of any resumption of any firing be-
tween MeXicans and Americans across
the border was believed to have been
averted when Brigadier General Ca
bell announced that an agreement had
been reached with Captain Abasolo,
commander of the Mexican forces in
Nogales, Sonora, that there should be
no resumption of hostilities.
This agreement extended an armis-
tice concluded late Tuesday by Lieut..
Col. Frederick ]. Herman and the
Mexican authorities.
Mexican civilians were held respon-
sible for the shooting by American
Consul e. M. Lawton of Nogaes, So
nora, who was in the Mexican town
when the fighting started.
A revised list of the casualties suf
fered by the Americans shows that
one officer and two enlisted men were
killed and % soldiers and civilians
wounded. Three of the wounded are
reported seriously hurt.
Among the Mexicans killed was Fee
Xix PenaloZa, mayor of Nogales, So
nora, the Mexican town opposite here.
Unofficial estimates placed the num-
Der of Mexican dead and wounded at
200, but the Mexican consul asserted
this figure was probably an exaggera-
ton.

supply costs as basis, and that from
this information l shall determine
whether there should be an increase
in price above the present level. and
If so, what advance, in order to main

SHOULD it then appear that an in
crease is deserved over the present
guarantee, however, it will be applied
only to those who have by next har-

BIGGEST War TAX
BILL COMPLETED
War Profits Expected to Net
the Nation $780,
100000.
AUTOS TO PAY $4,000, 900
Virtually All Taxes in the Present
Revenue Laws Are Doubled, and
in Some Instances
Tripled.


Washington, Sept. I'm a confer
rnce which Chairman Kitchin and
other members of the house ways and
means committee had with Secretary
McAdoo practical agreement was
reached on vital sections of the reve-
bill in history of any nation, now has
been finished except for final reading
and textual corrections.
1t was estimated by Representative
Kitchin that the bill, if enacted into
law, would bring into the treasury
more than $4,000, 100000, chiefly from
taxes upon those who have made
| money from the war and without i'm
posing consumption taxes on break
fast table necessities.
As agreed to by the committee, the
war profits section, estimated to raise
S3,200000,000, imposes an so per cent
war profit tax and provides for an al
tentative excess profit tax. There is
an exemption of $1,000 plus s per cent
Of the invested capital, after which
THESE rates are leVleQ.
| On income exceeding the eXemp-
tons and not exceeding 10 per cent of
invested capital, a tax of 80 per cent !;
on income exceeding 10 per cent and
not exceeding 20 per cent OF invested
capital, a tax of so per cent.
On income exceeding 20 per cent of
invested capital, tax of 20 per cent.
| Secretary McAdoo recommended the
| so per cent war tax and an alternative
tax, the same as the present excess
profit tax, with rates from 20 to 60
per cent.
After determining that the difficult
| ties of administration would be very
| great, Secretary McAdoo agreed to
abandon the plan for placing a great
er normal tax on unearned than earned
incomes. In the conference he agreed
that the normal tax on all incomes
should be II per cent.
This means that there will be II
per cent normal tax on all incomes
over $4,000 and the tax Oh incomes
below that amount will be down to
the exemption figure of per cent.
The present normal tax is per cent.
The exemption in the bill is the same
as in the present law, $1,000 for single
and $1,000 for married persons.
Virtually all the taxes in the present
revenue laws are doubled, and in some
instances they are tripled. There are
no new taxes eXceDt q luxury fax NAT
termed after the English and French
system and tax on the users of au-
tomObiles. This tax, which is in the
form of a federal license based on
horse power, it is estimated will raise
$70,000,000 The automobile tax ranges
as follows:
Motorcycles, So; automobiles or cleo
tries of % horse power or less, $40
more than % horse power and not
more than 80 horse power; $40; more
than 80 horse power and not more
than 40 horse power, $50; more than
40 horse power, $50.
The tax on all travel tickets, rail-
road or boat, is increased to per cent,
and there is an extra tax OF 8, per cent
on Pullman tickets.
There is a tax of 5 cents on tele-
phone charges between IA and 80
cents, and the tax is 10 cents between
80 cents and a dollar,
