SENATORS OPPOSE
WAR PROFITS TAX
SmOOt and BOrah Declare
That Present Scheme is
Not Practical
ALTERNA PLAN
WILL BE ATTACKED
Arrangement Said to be Difficult to
Work Out and Likely to Require
Doubling Force of Treasury Depart
ment-McAdoo Not Enthusiastic.

WASHINGTON, Sept. l0.-The alter
native system of taxing profits as
written in the revenue bill will meet
with strong opposition in the senate.
II will be attacked as not only imprac-
tieable, but as unduly expensive to the
government.
Senator Reed Smoot, who recently
described the bill framed by the Ways
and Means committee as ga mass of
1bsurdities, said today he proposed to
fight for straight war profits tax of
probably so per cent. This is the
same rate adopted by the House com
mittee, but in addition il levied excess
profits taxes of from 81 to 30 per cent,
giving the treasury department author
lty to choose according to which ever
IF the two systems yielded the higher
amount of tax from the corporation.
Senator Sr:Goi takes the position
mat the burden of collecting taxes
under such a system is heavier than
he returns would warrant. He thinks
war prorts tax system can be de-
vised that will make unnecessary an
excess profits system.
"a tax on war profits he said,
with catch the real profits due to the
war. The alternative excess profits
rates will not make so much difference
N the amount of revenue collected -
Senator Smoot insists that the plan
is bnnglesome' and will require lot
of time in working out.
II is claimed that the treasury de-
nartment will have TO double it's force
if II would 90 thoroughly into the prof
its of every corporation and figure
out what each would pay under both
ystems The Ways and Means COM
mittee appropriated $7,5O0,00O for the
expenses of collecting internal revenue
taxes.
Senator Smoot will not be alone in
his efforts for a one tax plan on war
profits. Senator Borah a few weeks
ago expressed desire to get the rev
anue bill on a war profits basis. He
would strike an average for the profits
Of peace times and add 90 per cent as
was done in England, to the income of
taxpayers.
Secretary McAdoo when the bill was
first considered in congress. urged that
war profits tax be superimposed on
he present excess profits taxes. He
was not enthusiastic over the latter
form of taxes then.
The existing excess profits tax does
not always reach war profits he said
The Secretary opposed increases in the
'xcess profits taxes and suggested that
they could be improved.
The excess profits tax, - he declared
must rest upon the wholly indefens
bic notion that it is function of
taxation to bring all profits down to
me level with relation to the amount of
capital invested and to deprive indus.

fruits.
He added that the excess profits taxes
,hould not be depended upon to pro
luce increased revenue and that exist
ng law should have some modification
to reduce the inequalities undo. il.

tax will point out the difficulty of re-
moving in equities attending the def

BRITISH TAKE ALEPPO,
IMPORTANT RAIL POINT
Crowning Event in Gen. Allenby's
Campaign Cuts Turks Main
Supply Source.

LONDON, October 2z.-The impor-
tant city Of Aleppo was occupied by
British cavalry and armored cars Sat-
urday morning, says a British official
statement issued today.
The fall Of Aleppo to the British is
the browning event of the victorious
campaign of Gen. Allenby, in which
he captured Jerusalem and Damascus
on his way northward through Pales-
tine and Syria
Aleppo is 1856 miles north Of Damas-
Gus and seventy miles east Of the
Mediterranean sea.
At Aleppo the railway line from
Constantinople branches, one line go
ing southwark to Palestine and the
other east and south to Bagdad. With
Aleppo in the hands Of the British, the
Turkish forces facing the British
army in Mesopotamia are in a more or
less precarious position. The railroad
from Aleppo has been the main source
of supply, and the cutting of the line
at Aleppo renders it useless to the
Turks.
An advance northward from Aleppo
would cut off the Turkish forces in
Armenia and northern Mesopotamia
and would open a road over which to
send help to the Czecho-Slovak and
other anti-bolshevik forces in Russia.
Aleppo has population Of about
$4,000.
