 "I would take every dollar Of war profit" the Wisconsin senator said, leaving business it's enormous pre- war profits and its capital untouched.
 'I would take all of the income over enough to enable the owner of the in- come to support his family in com i fort"
 Even under his bill, Senator LaFol- lette said. war profits earned by cor porations in prosperous past years would go untouched.
 Increased Income Tax
 Regarding his plan to increase in- come taxes on the wealthy, Senator LaFollette said:
 Whatever may have been the forces which caused the world war one result of it must be apparent to every man of intelligence and that is what the plain citizen has come to realize his power as never before anC consequently will assert his rights as never before. In order to raise the money to pay the expenses we have incurred, and are bound to incur, the government must reach out and put heavy hand through it's power of taxa tion upon every citizen in the land, and if it be presently discovered that the hand of the government bears heavily and unjustly upon the masses and touches only lightly the rich-in proportion to their ability to pay-it will produce conditions of discontent and resentment not pleasant to con- template"
 Declaring that the country's expen- ditures would be ten or twelve billion dollars for the next five years, Sen ator LaF;ollette said with the present bill in operation with would necessi- tate 25 or 30 billions additional in bonds. This, he said, would be truly an appalling situation"
 Senator LaFollette insisted that the American armies would not be demo- biliZed for many months and that their maintenance would require huge sums.
 Senator Smith of Georgia suggested that under the draft law, the service of men called to the colors must end four months after. peace is declared. Senator LaFollette replied that con gress 'is so subservient' that if the administration should use American forces abroad against nations with war has not been declared congress would vote money for such military operations.

 An amendment by Senator Jones of New Mexico. permitting any taxpayer who is head of a family to deduct from his gross income the amount not exceeding s1.000 paid by him an nually as rent on his residence, also wes rejected
