MUST RAISE EIGHT BILLIONS IN
REVENUE
Secretary McAdm Ibclers That
Much Must Re Raised by
Taxing the People.

Secretary McAdOO recommended
Thursday that the new revenue bill
be drawn to raise $8,00O,0O0.000 by
taxation. One-third OF the estimated
$24.OOO.OO0,O0O in the fiscal year
1919.
He also recommended that a war
profits tax be established at a high
rate 10 be superimposed upon eI-
listing excess profits taxes; that the
normal income tax on unearned In
comes be raised. and that heavy tax
alton be imposed on luIuries.
This IL construed to be an outline
OF the Treasury Departments Ideas
not only OF taxation to meet the Ma
tion's huge war expenses In the fu-
ture, but OF preparing the way for
floating OF additional billions OF Lib
erty Bonds. Increasing the rate OF
normal taxes on incomes from which
Liberty Bonds are exempt. said the
Secretary, will tend to make these
bonds better Investments and TO per
init them to compete with industrials
and municipal securities bearing
higher rates OF interest.
