Debate on New Revenue Bil1 Grows

Heated on Question OF Incomes.
Washington. Dec 1.-THE progress
sives in the Senate clashed today with
the reactionaries in the first test OF
strength in the new revenue bill and
were defeated. ------ "
They sought to have stricken out Of
the bill provision put in by the Sen
ate finance committee under which
big business corporation making large
profits during 1918 will be permitted
to deduct for Losses incurred In 1917
or 1913. The amendment was sus-
tained by the vote Of So to 16. Senator
Lenroot OF Wisconsin engineered the
fight on behalf Of the progressives and
voting with him were Senators Eorah.
Gronna, Jones Of Washington. Ken
yon, La Toilette. Norris and Poindex-
ter, all progresstves.
Others who supported the Lenroot
motion were Senators Harding. Nell
son, Freeiin1hysen and Sterling, Re-
publicans. and King, Kirby. Nugent
and Vardman. Democrats.
The provision which drew the pro-
gressives FIRE allows losses to be
spread over a three year period, 80
that in computing income for 1918 a
deduction for 1917 losses will be al
lowed while in computing the 1890
taxes, il there has been a loss during
1919, the government must make a
refund.
Senator Lenroot attacked this pro-
vision vigorously, declaring itsunfair
and unjust to the men who manage
their business successfully to be called

Senator La Toilette prompted the
suggestion that treasury experts had
informed the finance committee that
the cost to the government would be
between 500. 0e0, 900 and $500, 00o.
90.
.Tf $500, 00o. geo is the estimate OF
the amount Of the loss OF revenue to

tor Lenroot said. 1T is fair to as
sumo that IL business and Industrial
depression does come IL will cost the
government $1,000, 00O, 00O. The whole
theory OF the income is that a man
shall be taxed according to the income
he makes each year, and this pro-
vision would nuliify that completely
by permitting a deduction OF losses
over the three-year period.

criticism of the bill. pronounced the

The Washington state fuel admin
istration has served notice on house.
hold and industrial consumers that
peglect to order fuel now may result
in their being cut off from supplies
later. The notice reads:
IN case there is a coal shortage
rext winter, the consumer who has
storage space, or who could have pro-
vided for storage of his coal and who
did not, will not be supplied until
all booked orders have been filled.
and then he will be obliged to take
his chances"
In this connection Fuel Admins
traitor Holmes of Oregon does not de-
sire to make the same order unless
compelled to do so. He points out,
however, that there are many people
without means of fuel storage and
some without money sufficient to Or
der ahead, and that their needs must
be met if possible. To this end he
is of the opinion that the fuel slack

who does not, in the summer months

der is put into effect when the cold

ELKS LAY CORNERSTONE
OF BASE HOSPITAL No. ]

Boston, June 16.-The cornerstone
of reconstruction base hospital No.
/, the first of its kind in the United
States and the gift to the government
by the Benevolent and Protective
Order of Elks, was laid yesterday in
the presence of distinguished as
sembly OF citizens. Representatives
of the nation, state and city, with
eminent men of the medical profess
sion and thousands of Elks and prom
inent citizens from all parts of the
cast, participated in the ceremony
on Parker hill and signalized by their
presence and words the notable i'm
portance of the event.
This first reconstruction hospital,
which will serve as the model, the
ttandard-maker for similar ones to be
established throughout the United
States, will give the manned and dis
abled American soldiers and sailors
the best of expert attention and oc-
cupational instruction. 1t will re-
build human wreckage into able-bod-
led men and will educate them in
occupations which will best qualify
them not to become burden to So
ciety. The aim of the hospital in
brief may be said to be to minimize
the sufferlngs and disabilities caused
by the war and to protect the COM
nunity from an undue number of
crippled citizens.
The government through the sur
eeon generals department in Nov
ember last accepted the reconstruc-
ton hospital plans as a gift from
the Elks. The Elks war relief com.
mission is building the reconstruc-
ton hospital at a cost of $3.50, 900,
the money being taken from the Elks
81 100000 war relief fund, voted by
the Elks' 1917 convention. The hos
rital will be ready to receive the
wounded American soldiers and sail
ors in early September.
Fred Harper, grand exalted ruler
of the Elks, delivered the principal
address of the occasion, telling of the
benevolent and patriotic purposes
that prompted the Elks to make the
gift to their country and dwelling on
the blessings that seem certain to
await the war-afflicted soldiery that

Ashland Citizens Testify for the Pub

A truthful statement of an Ash

should convince the most skeptical
about the merits of DoaL's Kidney
Pills. If you suffer from backache,
nervousness, sleeplessness, urinary
disorders or any form of kidney ills,
use tested kidney medicine.
An Ashland citizen tells of Doan's
Kidney Pills.
Could you demand more convinc-
ing proof Of merit?
