ADOPTS FLAT TAX.
Eighty Per Cent to Be Assessed on All
Excess Profits.

WASHINGTON, Aug. l7.-An s per
cent exemption in addition to a specific
$4,000 exemption on the excess profits of
corporations, with tax of 40 per cent
on all excess profits between per cent
and 20 per cent and tax of 60 per cent
on all excess profits exceeding 20 per
cent has been agreed by the house WAYS
and means committee. The committee
in writing this schedule into the SS,000,-
100000 revenue bill also adopted the
treasury's alternative plan for a fat so
per cent tax on war profits.
The committee agreed to three classi-
fications of business for purposes of de-
duction from war profits. The deduction
from pre-war earnings is: Financial and
transportation corporations, s per cent;
manufacturing, farming and general bust
ness, 10 per cent, and mining and kindred
hazardous businesses, IL per cent.
Ninety per cent of corporations, it is
estimated, will be affected by the war
profits tax and the remainder by the ex-
cess profits tax.
Estimates show excess and war profits
taxes will yield total of $4,000, ,000, ,oG0
which would bring the total of the bill
much nearer to the $4,000, 100000 goal.

CALL TO THE WOMEN.
More Workers on Surgical Dress
ings Wanted at Once by Red Cross.

As was announced in the Reformer
on Wednesday, the August quota of
surgical dressings has been received
and is much larger than for several
months. 1t was hoped that this notice
would bring back our workers in full
force, but Wednesday evening only
fourteen women responded instead Of
seventy-fve, which has been our aver
age evening attendance On Thursday
afternoon there were only fourteen.
1t viii be impossible to coa,plete cur
quota In the time allotted Il the wom-
en- do not make a special effort to
come to our assistance again with all
their old enthusiasm. Owing to the
lack OF materials, the surgical dress
lngs department has not been over
worked during the summer, which is
all the more reason why there should
be ready response now. With so
many of our men at the front. it would
seem as if every woman should feel
an individual responsibility to do her
share of the work. Work on surgical
dressings Monday and Thursday after
moons, and Monday and Wednesday
evenings.
