REVENUE BILL
now CONTAINS
EIGHT BILLION
Tentative Draft Has Been
Adopted by Ways and
Means.
EXCESS TAX UNSETTLED
Compromise with McAdoo
Remains Only Open
Question.

Chairman Kitchin announced at the
close of today's session Of the Ways
and Means Committee that at last
the sSeco. ooo. 900 figure has been
reached in the draft Of the revenue
bill which the committee has tenta-
lively adopted. OF this sum. 1t is es-
timated that the 80 per cent tax on
war profits will yield $500. 10000 and
the excess profits tax $500. ooo. 900. or a
total Of 800. .ooo.o 900 from the profits Of
corporations and organized business.
The remainder Of the total amount
Of revenue will be raised by the in
come and inheritances taxes. and the
special excise taxes on luxuries, bev-
erages and tobacco.
Chairman Kitchin's estimate was
made. however. in the face of the
fact that the committee Is still in dis
agreement with Secretary McAdoo
and other officials of the Treasury De-
partment in the matter of the excess
profits rates. The committee stub
bornly refuses to yield to Secretary
McAdoo's recommendation that the
rates on excess profits should not be
increased above the figures in the
present law.
The draft Of the bill upon which
the $S0o0Oo0. 900 estimate was made by
Mr.. Kitchin provides for an assess
ment OF 20 per cent on all excess
profits between s per cent and 20 per
cent Of the capitalization. and 50 per
cent on all above 20 per cent. The de-
ductions allowed are per cent and
$500.
Compromise Possible.
Mr.. Kitchin left the door open for
further compromises with the Treas
ury by making It plain yesterday that
these rates have not been adopted
by the committee. They have been
suggested to the Treasury as a COM
promise.
Mr.. Kitchfn stated that he believed
the 20 TO 50 per cent. rates suggested
TO the Treasury by the committee
would yield sl,ooo. 100000 more than the
rates In the existing law. and at least
sSoo.ooo.ooo more than the rates previ-
ously adopted by the committee.
Not more than one in 100 corpora
tons assessed under the excess profits
rates would have been caught in the
80 per cent. class in the rates which
the committee previously agreed to, {"
Mr.. Kitchin said. "On the other
hand. 20 per cent OF them will fall
In the class making 20 per cent. net
income on their capitalization, and
will therefore pay so per cent.
Under these war profits and ex-
cess profits which we have recon-
mended to the Treasury. il properly
enforced the law should yield no less
than 5000. 10000"
A report from the Treasury on the
committees recommendations is ex-
pected next Monday.

HUN CENSORS
CLOSE DOWN
ON WAR NEWS
However, Admissions Are
Made of Retreats and
Low Morale.

The German censor has again
clamped down the lid on the var
news. ana enemy papers Of the pezs
few days devote no more than . Tee
insignincant lines to battle develop
ments. according to diplomatic adj
vices received here yesieriay. The
dispatch adds:
1T appears that the censor. who
under the frst wave of emotion nai
somewhat relaxed his vigilance. has
now completely resumed his former
severity"
The same dispatch, however, tells
Of press comments. which presage
another great strategic" retreat, and
also goes into detail regarding the
crisis In German morale, brought
about by the reyerses at the front.
Despite the systematic optimism. in
the communicates Of the Woiff agency,
public opinion Is extremely skerticai.
II Is said. The recent article In The
Deutsche Zeitung. which declared Ger
troops fell back, offering hardly any
resistance, has made considerable in,-
preston in certain circles. the dis
patch says 1t also asserts:
Pan-German Excesses.
THAT the Frankfurter !Zeitung and
contradict the view Of the Deutsche
Zietung. confirm the defeats which
the article points out, and attributes
them to the exercises Of the pam
Germanist policy.
1T further acknowledged that
alarming rumors continue in circula-
ton, and a characteristic point is that
the newspapers do not even try to
awaken hopes for the future. The
most sincere papers are asking them
selves IL the strategicaI initiative has
not passed-for a long time-from the
hands Of Ludendorff, whose resources
for attacks. 1t Is pointed out. are be-
coming insufficient. The correspon-
dent OF the Neue Badische Lundes
Zietung, who is often well informed.
goes so. far as to foresee that a gen.
eral retreat, similar to that which
Ludendorff effected in the spring of
last year, will again be necessary"
Crisis In Morale.
Perhaps the most significant fea-
ture Of the present situation, Is the
portrayal of the German mind to-
day as compared with the state Il
was In last March. The message,
on this point, says:
"One Is far from these great
hopes. which were conceived before
the March attack, when the whole
nation. overexcited by the beam
ing propag ganda. was convinced that
the war would end In triumphant
success by July or August"
The present effort of the German
official press bureau to take public
opinion in hand does not appear
to have succeeded very brilliantly.
the dispatch says. but on the con-
trary seems to have aggravated.
rather than attentuated. the crisis
in morale depression. It goes on
to say:
Tension is High.
General tension must be very
high for the papers suddenly pub
lish endless exhortations for cour-
age and calm.
"On the other hand. the ,Germa n
general headquarters has thought
It necessary to invite the press to
open UP q campaign. from now on.
in order to prepare public opinion
for the idea Of an eventual retreat"

DOING GODS WORK

EPORTS have come from Valley ranchers that
IL during week abebodied men called at their
ZONES distributed religious literature and asked for meals
return for which they would ask Gods blessings the house
hold.
These young may be- actuaed by sincere motives
and honestly believe they doing great work in the
world Maybe they doing great work in advancing the king
dom of God and normal times criticism should be called
forth pon their efforts the suret to advance
the kingdom of today by licking the Kaiser and
job that simply can't be done by booardmg our own
rural districts with denorinatona literature.
The young visited the Valley last week were ap
parenty military and physically fit and no doubt have
been exempted military service because OF their religious
or ministerial vocaons AS understand the intent
of the seectve law which allows such exemptions was to
pups from being depopuated OF their young and
religious teachers rather than to make possible for
young travel in pairs and pedde tracts
The work distributing such literature may be bullet proof
but canddy given choice would prefer to face
the Boche than call farmer who short OF help
and is working 16 day trying to raise and help
win the attempt convince him that the good of his
soul demanded ideas of religion and
then ask him for meal
