which should have been held at Wiuoos-
XII until the work engine had passed
north. All the dead were railroad en-
ployes. They were:-
Engineer L. B. Andrews, Burlington;
Fireman c. H. Scott, Jeffersonville;

Burlington, roundhouse employee; Frank

Companion and several other employees
who were among the injured were riding
IN the pilot of the light engine. The two
ocOmotives met with such force that a
teampipe on the light engine broke and
veral OF the injured were badly scalded.
there was only one passenger coach
on the mixed train. The conductor,
James Berry of Richmond, is suffering
fiom shock and serious bruises. Those
who died in the wreck, not killed out
right, were scalded to death by steam in
the tunnel, which for the time being
became great oven, as it was choked
up at both ends.

last Tuesday afternoon. An admission of
two cents was charged and the children
have fifty cents to give to the Red Cross.
The credit of the performance should be
given to Miss Inga Little, who had charge
of it.

"THE GIFTS OF MOTHER EARTH. :.
A little girl watches the elements as they
do their part toward making the world in
the poem, "Great, Wide, Wonderful
World" Then all the children bring their
offerings to Mother Earth who has come
and taken her place at her altar. She ac-
cepts their offerings and tells them that
their labor must be added if the earth
shall bring forth all it may. boy plows,
another sows, a third hoes, and three boys
NOV. Then three girle appear as dairy
maids Mother Earth accepts their labor
but urges them to feed her hungry chill
dren. Then follows scene in a French
home where there is nothing to eat, and
stories of need by Polish girl and Syrian
and Swiss boys. The older children who
have shown their ability to work, pledge
their help and state what they are actually
doing this season. Mother Earth encour-
ages them by promising plenty forever.

TAX NEXT YEAR
McAdoo Recommends Revenue
Measure Which Strikes at Big
Earnings and Unearned Income.
NEW WAR PROFITS TAX.
Says We Will Spend "a Billions Next
Year and Should Limit Loans to
16 Billions-ShouId Wipe Out
inequalities and Raise Rates.

Washington. - Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo made his recon-
mendations concerning the new war
revenue bill. They virtually have
the approval of Congress in advance,
for members of the house and senate
charged with framing the new law
have been working on lines Identical
with those laid down by Mr.. McAdoo
In a letter to Chairman Kitchin of
the Ways and Means Committee he
said that the new bill should contain
the following provisions:
double the revenue from
taxation so as to raise $S,000000,-
600 by taxes of the S24,000,000,
he feels the government will need
next year
Make the taxes on corporate
investments high enough to bring
them more nearly on a parity
with the return from government
bonds" and thus to make Liberty
Loan purchases the normal in
vestment of war profits
3-TaX away the excessive
profits on war contracts, to make
prOfteering impossible.
4. Lift the rate on so called I'M
earned income from securities,
ETC.. from per cent. to more than
II per cent, while retaining the
II per cent. as the rate on earned
incomes above the exemption
figure.
5-Impose heavy taxation an all
Injuries.
Congress, in advance of Mr.. Nc
AdOo's recommendation, has been
studying the English system of war
taxation, which levies heavy taxes on
war profits and unearned incomes.
Definitely committed to the policy
that the greater burden of the @e,J-
war taxes should be imposed upon lux
uries, war profits and incomes, the
Ways and Means Committee of the
house is holding meetings to frame the
$S,000000,0Q0 measure.
The members of the committee are
firmly of the opinion that consumption
taxes on articles such as coffee, tea
and sugar should be imposed only as a
last resort. Every effort will be made
to raise at least three-fourths of the
$S,0000 100000 by means of taxes on
war profits and incomes Incomes in
excess of $4,000 will bear the brunt
of the increase. To make up the ball
ance the rates on all other articles
now included in the taxation measure
will be doubled or trebled.
In general way, the rates will be
raised to the point of diminishing re-
turns, beyond which there should be
no profit in collection.
To simplify the collection and COM
putation of income taxes the law Of
1916 and the law of 1917 will be re-
pealed, and the income tax provisions
will be entirely rewritten.
The treasury departments estimate,
of the amount that will be collected
on income and excess profits is $2,775,-
$4,000 Members of the committee.
understand that from these
two sources almost three times this
amount must be collected.
1t is not likely that any attempt will
be made to change existing tariff rates.
Republican members of the committee.
will offer notifications of the tariff
law to raise a large part of the neces-
sary revenue. but the majority men,
Ders are opposed to opening up the
ariff question at this time.
