WEALTH TAXED TO
. LIMIT BY new BILL
cONGR ESSMAN LONGWORTH
SAYS NECESSITIES MUST BEAR
FUTURE BURDENS

Washington, Sept. 1O.-Wealth is
taxed to about the straining point by
the new war revenue bill, Repre-
sentative Longworth of Ohio declared
in the house today when debate on
the huge tax measure was resumed.
He warned his hearers that any ad-
ditional taxes levied hereafter must
be borne by people purchasing arti-
cles of daily necessity and said that
as the cost of war mounts a greater
proportion Of it will have to be borne
by future generations.
Pointing out that congress is about
to exact from the American people, a
sum which would have more than
Maid the entire cost of the Civil war,
both to the Union and the Confeder-
acy. Mr.. Longworth said the tax of
so per cent on war profits and the
maximum Of 20 per cent on excess
profits and " per cent on incomes
was mighty near the danger mark. "
He added that this is a bill ito
raise war revenues not reorganize
society"
"Just as surely as you impose q
tax which amounts to plunder," said
the Ohio representative, "just Sc
surely do you overshoot the mark
and render difficult if not impossible
the financing necessary to effectively
prosecute the war"
Most Of the coming issue of Lib
erty bonds, Mr.. Longworth said, will

be purchased by individuals and their
purchasing power will be affected d.,
rectly by the taxes on their incomes.
Although he and other members had
doubted its possibility, the ways and
means committee, Mr.. Longworth
continued, had succeeded in framing
a bill designed to raise $4,000, ,OO0, 900
by taxation without resort to con-
sumption taxes and increased tariff
rates. These remain, he added, as
additional sources of revenue in case
some of those now counted on are
destroyed by legislation or other
wise.
Contending that the Presidents or
der stopping the manufacture Of
beer after next December l., will
cause loss of $500, 100000 in revenue
under the new war tax bill, Mr.
Longworth said congress may be
forced to impose consumption taxes
sooner than had been expected. In
that connection he suggested a tax
of seven cents a pound on coffee, 25
cents on tea; 10 cents on rubber,
20 per cent on wool, Is per cent on
hides and one cent on sugar. He es-
timated these would yield $24O ,OOo, 900
annually.
He also warned that the proposed
wartime national prohibition lesis-
lation would reduce the estimated
revenue returns from beverage by
81 500 100000 which with the lost
revenue on beer from December l
until the national prohibition meas
ure becomes effective would reduce
the estimated revenue under the bill
to $4,000, 100000. Although criticising
some of its features, Mr.. Lonyworth
commended the bill as whole as a
vas. improvement over the old law.
In conclusion, the speaker por-
trayed the conditions under which the
German people gagged and bound,
pay bloody tribute to the insatiate
ambition of the house of Hohenzol-
lern" and said that mo citizen Of the

Skinner Packing Company
Purchases Seven More Acres

The Skinner Packing company has
filed warranty deed to seven acres ad-
joining their present site on the
South Side for their new independent
packing plant. This gives them a
square 40-acre tract and is considered
by experienced packing house men an
ideal location with ample room for
expansion. ~
The grading and excavating work
is now going, on and the foundation
and basement work will be started at
once.
Charles F. Kamrath, who is the con-
struction. engineer for the new plant,
has had years of valuable experience
in the construction of packing plants
as well as the practical operation of
them. Mr.. Kamrath is permanently
connected with the Skinner Packing
company. He states that in the new
Skinner plant Omaha will have the
most modern, sanitary and efficient
plantin the United States and one that
can be shown any experienced packing
house man with pride and the knowl-
edge that it will be pronounced the
best.
Many new original ideas and ef-
fciency methods will be incorporated
and all up-to-date sanitary features
will be a prominent part of the plant
so that the company's slogan of
"Omaha's Daylight Snow White Inde.
pendent Packing Plant" will be an
actual fact.
H. c. Christensen Of Christensen &
Co., packing house architects,
Chicago, is preparing the plans and
specifications.
All products of this plant will be
under United States government in
