j. S. now IN EXCELLENT
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Third Loan and Large Tax Re-
turns to Fill Treasury
With Money
by rHEoDoRE rnLER.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 6.-Unex-
pectedly large returns under the in
come and excess profits tax, and the
successful floating and oversubscrip-
ton of the ehird Liberty Loan, caused
Senator Simmons, chairman of the sem
ate finance committee, to assert today
that there is no immediate need or
further tax legislation and the nations
finances are in better shape than at any
time since the war began.
Chairman Simmons, whose optimism
as to fiscal affairs is shared by Senator
Hoke Smith and other members of the
finance committee. says another Liber-
ty Loan probably will be unnecessary
until late in the fall 1t may possibly
be postponed until next winter, and
there is also a prospect that no more
taxation legislation will be necessary
during the 65th congress.
The ready absorption of the bond is
sues is but one reason for this optim-
ism 1t is reliably learned that the
tax returns under the war revenue act
are far greater than anyone hoped for
a few months ago. The country's pros
perity will cause money to pour into
the treasury under these taxes and ex-
pectations may be exceeded by bill
lion or NOR dollars,
'T am gratified," said Senator Sim
mons, by the showing that has been
made all along the line during the
months that have elapsed since the war
revenue act was approved and there IS
every occasion to be hopeful as well
as grateful that conditions are as they
are and so indicate that they will re-
main.
In the opinion of the North Carolinian,
the United States is in better fiscal con-
dition today by more than 5000, 0Oo,0 900
than the anticipation of a year ago IN
dictated it would be. The third Liberty
Loan campaign just closed is only part
of the occasion for this encouragement
There are other elements of equivalent
loans and by no means the least of
these is the heavy return from excess
profits taxation indicated in the prelim-
mary returns to the office of the collec-
tor of internal revenue.
THE reports are as yet indefinite, but
there has already been disclosed the
fact that from this source the treasury
of the United States will receive several
hundreds of millions more than the
trainers of the war revenue act antici-
pated," said Mr. Simmons.
Daniel c. Roper, the collector of in
ternal revenue, is not yet prepared to
give a definite estimate of the return
from the excess profits tax or the
income tax, either" continued the chair
man, "but he is convinced that both
will return handsome excuses of che
original estimated maximum in both
cases. 1t is possible that the difference
between the advance estimates and the
actual return will approximate bill
lion dollars. This is the reason why 1t
will not be necessary at this session CT
the congress even to begin the prelim!-
nary consideration of legislation TO
amplify the tax collecting power Of the
federal government.
"Tt can safely be, said that there will
be no tax legislation of any sort at the
present session of congress. 1t will
hardly become necessary, unless condi-

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
FRANCE, May 6.-British troops have
advanced 1900 yards on a front OF
more than a mile, between the ,Ancrs
and Somme. North of the Somme the
Australians advanced 700 yards on a l.
50O-yard front and early today they adj
vanced another 100 yards on a 1000
yard front
The first Australian advance was
made in the darkness early Sunday
morning. Suddenly and silently they
swept forward, surprising the thin Ger
man garrison in the front line just
north of the Somme and taking some
prisoners.
Similarly, in pitch blackness early
today, they pushed on despite strong
opposition. There are many German
dead and the Australian casualties are
not heavy.
