!. comes, Excess Profits, Luxuries.

Washington. May 2S.-Discussion
over whether Congress shall adjourn
a3or not was ended when President
Wilson appeared before the joint ses.
sion Of the Senate and House and
4 urged passage OF q bill to provide
revenue for growing war expenses
and prepare the nation in advance
j for tax burdens it must face.
D A. the President was leaving the
White House for the capitol, word
came that the German drive against
the West front had been renewed.
He gave his visit dramatic touch by
\ announcing this news as he conclud.
ed his prepared speech, saying 1t
strengthened the purpose he had tried
TO express. "a
The demand that with the war at
it, peak and crisis, Congress do its
duty at home as the soldiers ara do
ing their duty in the trenches over
seas brought instant acquiescence.
Plans for midsummer adjournment
were abandoned and both Democratic
ana Republican leaders expressed
their determination to go at the task
Of passing a revenue bill.
Aim 20 Reach Profiteers.
4 suggestion BY the President that
most Of the new taxes probably would
tall upon incomes. excess profits and
Injuries and that proflteers could bs
reached in this way was greeted with
schsers and congressional leaders said
later the money needed would come
from those sources.
e was announced that public hear
anxs would be begun early b June
~ the House ways and means COM
mittee. to be followed by co-opera-
zion in its drafting with the Senate
finance committee. Presentation OF
the measure to the House In July
vas regarded as assured.
Twenty Billion Asked. s.
One Of the big problems to DO
worked out first was the proportion
Of new taxes to bond issue authoriza-
lions. In the neighborhood Of twenty
billion dollars must be provided to
meet expenses of the coming year.
The President has suggested to Con-
xress that forty per cent should be
raised BY taxation. This would mean
bond issues for about twelve billions
and doubling of the approximately
four billions levied in taxes this year.

MOTOR POWER HAS
 SUPERSEDED HORSE

Camp Funston, Kan, Dec 20.-(Cor- respondence of The Associated Press)
 The degree to which motor powe. has superseded that of horses and mules in army transportation in the great army cantOnments of the nation. is amply illustrated here. Practically all the transportation business in the camp is done by the motor transport corps which has grown to be one of the most important departments in the camp and now has working force of 356 enlister men, six officers and 325 trucks and automobiles and 106 motorcycles. The corps formerly was d part of the quartermastec corps but last September 1 was made an inde- pendent unit.
 In addition to it's transportation ser vice, the department maintains a com- plete repair shop where exper. mech- anics are employed. In the fifteen months that the corps has been opera tive here it has not yet found 2 motor job too difficult for it to repair. none Tn that time having been sent else where.
 The motor transport corps works on Ia twenty-four hour schedule. The dis patch of the big army trucks, motor- cycles and touring cars is all handled through the headquarters office force of four officers and nine enlisted men. The system of operation is somewhat similar to that of railroad. At every minute, day or night, the schedule in- dicates where each motor vehicle is, what it was sent to do and when it is due to return. In addition to the super vision of all the movements of the ye- hicles in actual use, the office force also maintains a complete record of all repair jobs with view to seeing to it that each job is gotten out on time and is well done. TAe repair de- partment handles on an average of sixty to seventy repair jobs a day. A warehouse is maintained containing a complete stock of motor supplies Here is store keeper checks up on each article as it is received and disburs- ed.
 The motor transport corps is in charge of Capt. R. J. McMullen as motor transport officer Lieut.. F. E. Lee is chief mechanical inspection of- flcer and Lieut.. c. A. Bellinger, SUD- ply officer; Lieut. R. E. Waters, per- sonnel adjutant; Lieut.. A. F. McDon- ocgh, commanding officer of service park units 347 and 3S5 and Lieut.. B. R. Dow, commanding officer of mo- tor transport company 347 and the provisional transport company.
