caused no surprise to travellers recently
returned from Russia, who were in Mos
COW and Petrograd when the wild taxi
ing OF hostages began.
Ten thousand officers of the old army
who were ordered TO register In Moscow
were held prisoner for almost week,
with little food. Cholera broke out
among them. because of the crowded and
unsanitary conditions of their quarters.
Leon Trotzky. the Bolshevist secre-
tary of war. wired General Alexief,
Comma nder-in-Chief of the Anti-Bol-
shevist forces that an officer would be
shot for every Bolshevik killed by the
Czechs or white Guard. Alexleff Is re-
ported to have replied that II officers
were shot he would not stop reprlsals
until every Jew in Russia was quar-
tered.
Finally majority of the officers. halt

but hundreds of officers are missing and

thousands of Moscow officers refused tc

The committee was warned to-day by
representatives OF the whiskey interests
that unless the IS a gallon tax on with
drawals Of whiskey from bond was re
duced there would result loss of $780,
900 900 in revenue. The estimates Of the
amount which will be raised through the
tax on beverages will be decreased that
much. the committee was told.
Even Representative Hull (Tenn.).
one of the most influential Democratic
members of the Ways and Means Com
mittee. took fling at the excess profits
provisions Of the Kitchin bill.
II am gratified to see so-called war
profits provision go in this BILL" he said
From the beginning of the war l have
exerted my humble efforts to this end
upon the theory that II 1t was intended
to reach war profits in the fullest and
most accurate measure. and at the same
time avoid many serious inequites which
would arise under so-called excess
profits provision. a war profits measure
should be enacted in the very beginning.
! readily agree as every one must. that
neither Of these tax methods is a scien-
tihc. equitable method in the ordinary
sense
Greater latitude should be allowed In
exceptional cases of industries which
suffered an abnormal depression during
the three-year prewar period in order
that the normal profits OF a representa-
tive concern may be taken as basis
Mr.. Hull said.
Representative Longworth (O.) warned
the House of two grave features of all
tax legislation, the possibility of reduce
ing or destroying the revenue producing
power OF the country and impairing its
capacity to absorb bond Issues Placing
too high tax on income, he pointed out,
would drive investors into non-taxable
securities. and no one would be the loser
except the Treasury.
This bill imposes fiat tax of so per
cent on war profits. q tax running as
high as 40 per cent. on excess profits and
tax running as high as ~ per cent on
incomes" he said. That, | think, is
high enough. In fact l am not sure but
that it Is mighty near the danger mark.
I'VE must remember that this is a bill
