MULIONAIRES MUST PAY
BIG TAX ON INCOMES

Washington. Aug z-Great wealth
must contribute more to the United
States Treasury The surtax on all
incomes ranging from SI,00O,oO0 to
s5OOO,OOO was increased today to 20
per cent, and all exceeding 100000
to IS per cent.
This action Mas taken by the Ways
and Means Committee, although 1t Is
declared the additional revenue TO be
derived from the change will be com
paratively little The only idea IS that
the extremely rich will be paying more
nearly their proportionate share OF the
funds NEEDED for the war. Under existing
law the highest surtax Is 30 per cent
on all incomes above 81 100000.
An effort was made by Represe ntatlve
Moore Of Pennsylvania to have the sur
taxes materially increased on all incomes
exceeding 100000 year He offered
various suggestions along that line, but
they were rejected by the committee.

Of steel bath" in the waters OF which
the morals of the German people would
rccuperate.
since August 4. 1914" says the Nor-
waerts. we have allowed the blessings
OF this bath to act on us with steadily
increasing vigor and the result is a
moral condition of health of the German
people Of which the compilations Of
criminal statistics give convincing re-
ports. These tell us Of the steadily
increasing number of crimes of brutality,
and serious crimes against property and
a glance at any newspaper confirms the
horribly increasing number of robbcrIes
and hurglaries in the cities and as well
as in rural districts Systematically
organized and methodically operating
bands Of robbers menace continually life
and property Of respectable citizens.
Also honesty of the latter has suffered

tluence of the steel bath is directly proved
We do not fear that we are disclosing
anv state-endangerIng secret when We
announce the fact that at present there
probably are few German subjects left
who have not IN some more or less serious
manner violated the existing govern
ment DEGREES and laws and made them
selves liable to punishment.

stances Of the citizen, who on Sundays
goes to the country TO buy food for
boarding purposes. Of the proud wife Of
the owner of large estate, whose chick
ems clay eggs only for mark apiece, Of
the wife of the first lieutenant who sells
the food articles received from her hus-
band at the front at fancy prices and the
army of usurers secret traders and
forgers
The Norwaerts then dwells on the
effects Of the steel bath on the growing
generation and cites complaints by the
clergy and teachers TO show that de
pravlty Is one Of It's results
The paper calls attention TO what Il
