DISCUSS 13 PER CENT TAX
PLAN FOR CORPORATIONS
Ways md Means Committee of Con-
Ercss Would Treble Present As
scsnments for Revenue.

WASHINGTON. July "a tax OF
corporations is favored by a majority
of the Ways and Means Committee now
writing the $4,000. 200, 900 revenue bill
This is treble the rate now paid and
II put into effect, would yield consid-
erably more than $1,000. .o0o. 900 in reve-
nue..
1t has been estimated that under the
per cent tax now assessed on the
net income OF corporations. the returns
for the fiscal year 1917 would be be-
tween $500. 100000 and >7oo.ooO.Oo
Trebling the tax would bring a re-
turn equal to three times this amount
except for deductions and allowances,
which the committee now is consider
ing.
The principal deduction which the
committee has in mind was discussed
at to-day's session after an Informal
vote OF committee had disclosed the
fact,th majority would support the
propoSal to raise the tax to Is per cent.
This deduction is In form of proviso
to the effect that on the amount OF net
income distributed to shareholders.
corporations would be required to pay
only - per cent. This would have the
effect of inducing large corporations to
distribute their earnings to their stock
holders instead OF retaining them in
bulk. The committee believes that a
distribution would be wholesome in it's
enec. upo, the financial condition of
the country.

General Goethals to Il large delegation

whole matter before him in writing
SO that he could use II as basis for
aiding the War Department to adopt
some policy under which the States
can be assisted in maintaining and re-
pairing highways used for military pur-
poses. General Goethals stated that the
War Department has no funds for
this purpose and expressed the belief
that Congress rill be compelled to ap-

BAKER COMPLETES PLANS
FOR DRAWING HUGE ARMY
Indications Are 100000 Men VIII he
Called to Colors, With Possible
100000.

WASHINGTON. July 23.-Sccretary
pleted the draft of his recommendations
to be made to Congress for greater
mobilization OF :he military forces Of
the United States and the change Of
the draft limits.
1t Is understood the new plan OF
mobilization will provide for the i'm
mediate call to the colors Of 5000. 900
men. 1t Will be SO elastic, however,
that 100000 men may be called if
necessary. without further authoriza-
tion OF Congress.
The new plan will be sent to Con-
Eress as soon IS the session is recon
rencd next month. At the close Of the
recess. Secretary Baker declined TO
make any statement as to extension
OF the draft limits which he intends
to suggest to Congress. 1t is recalled.
however, that when the draft law was
first suggested to Congress. Secretary
Baker proposed to have the draft ages
set at eighteen to thirty-six. Since
then re h.s been GENERALLY credited
with favorine eighteen to forty-fve
The best estimates as to the reserve
map power of Glass a. under the pres
cnt draft is that II is about 1000. 900
men. With the declared purpose of
the administration to keep the men
pouring into Europe in steady
stream, It Is evident that the greater
mobilization referred TO by Secretary
Baker means that the lid is to be
taken off and that the army of 5000. 900
men referred to SO often Is to become
an actual force.
