WAR-TAX BILL
CAUSES CLASH
Senate Committee Begins
Task of Rewriting En-
tire Measure
SOME LOOPHOLES SEEN
Alternative Feature Roundly
Condemned-Luxury Taxes
Likely to Stand
SOME LOOPHOLES SEEN
By the United Press
UIn ;n.tnn Spf

Announcing a determination to get
before the November election il pos
sible the Senate Finance Committee to-
day began revision of the measure which
passed the House late yesterday, $50
to 0.
Radical changes in some of its chief
provisions are in prospect. Senator
Smoot's recent characterization IF the
bill as an "absurdity" is generally con-
Cured in by Senate committee members.
They set out today to rewrite the en-
tire bill.
The clasn of House and Senate ideas
may prevent final enactment of the bill
until after elections The chief battle
will be the tax on profits. The Senate
committee is wholly out of sympathy
with the House alternative war and ex-
cess profits tax plan.
The, alternative feature of this plan
is roundly condemned by most members
of the Senate committee who declare
that If two plans can he legislated into
a bill a dozen or thirty could just as
well be provided. The more kinds of
alternative taxes there are, they argue,
the more loopholeS are provided for es-
cape from the maximum that ought to
be paid.
Up to this point the Senate committee
Is almost unanimous. but when 1t comes
to substituting plan for the House
provision, every member has a different
idea. Among suggested provisions are ::
Tax war profits 80 to 100 per cent
and excess profits 60. any concern that
made both war and excess profits to pay
both taxes while those not making war
profits pay only the excess profits tax.
Put fiat tax Of from to Is per
cent on all business regardless of
whether profits are due to the percent
age of profit in the taxable year as COM
pared with profits in three prewar
years; no business to have any exemp-
tions of any KIND.
Increase present excess profits taxes.
The luxury taxes seem likely TO re-
main largely as fixed in the House bill.
They range from 10 to 90 per cent on
various articles denominated luxuries
and semiluxuries.
An effort will be made to reduce the
liquor tax of IS a gallon To IS on the
ground that the higher rate will make
withdrawal of whisky from bond for
sale brohibitive and will produce less
revenue than the lower tax.
AS the bill passed the House it is
estimated II will raise in round figures
sS,1O0,OOO, 900. OF this $4,000, 900 900 is
to come from war and excess profits,
S2.377,O0O, 600 from incomes and from
all other sources, including liquor,
estates apd Iuxuries, s2,523,O0O.OO0

IMPORT on the recent fighting issued in
Merlin by an army expert says:
~tsaAfter the Anglo French forces had

create a suitable base from which to
attain their aim of breaking through
the Siegfried position. Marshal F'och' s
troops resorted on the 18th to a big
mass attack from Havrincourt to the
Somme.
THE attack at $50 a. m. with
rear of the terrain. Numerous tanks
ratified forward before the Anglo French
infantry, while strong squadron of
battle airmen descended very low in
order to shake the German defense by
machine-gun fire and bomb-dropping.
"On the tanks at Gouzeaucourt and
Trescault our troops held out.
The British thrice etormed against
Gouzeaucourt. while Trescault held
against four partial attacks
y In the center the British succeeded
IN pressing in the German lines. After
bitter hghting, which swayed to and
fro, Epehy and Ronssey remained in the
hands of the British"
The report adds that after further
artillery preparation there was an
other British onslaught at $50 a. m .
Dut all attempts to advance were foiled

That point was defeated by a German
counter-attack. A fresh attack on VII
