Action.

Washington. Sept. 23.-By unani-
nous vote. the house passed the s.,
ls2,OOO,0O0 revenue bill. the greatest
tax measure In history. The roll call
showed $50 members voting for the bill
and not one against II.
Bill Practically Unchanged.
The bill as passed practically is I'M
changed from the form in which It
came from the ways and means com
mittee September 3. A number OF
amendments were adopted during the
three weeks debate. but none Of these
amendments altered the essential pro
visions of the bill, nor changed any OF
the rates of taxation.
Now Goes to Senate.
The bill now goes TO the senate
finance committee which already has
begun holding hearings on II. II IL
predicted that many OF the sections In
the bill will undergo radical change
AT the hands of the senate committee
particularly those fixing the rates Of
taxation on war profits and excess
profits. Secretary McAdoo has indl-
Gated a desire to appear before the
committee to explain why these rates
should be changed, and other treasury
officials are expected to advise the
committee concerning other changes to
be made In the bill.
Both Parties Satisfied.
Republican and Democratic lead
ers I'm the house Joined In expressing
complete satisfaction with the bill as
passed.
The closing speech on the bill was
made by Representative Longworth Of
Ohio, who said that the measure not
only levies the greatest tax ever levied
upon any nation of the world. but is
equivalent TO nearly one-third of the
total cost of the government from the
time of Washington To the second
term Of President Wilson. He added
THE unanimous passage of the hill

and cold comfort to the kaiser and
his satellites, because II shows that

ing peace proposal of Austria. II Is
going 10 show that we propose to do
business, not with the tail. but with

we will force the dachshund TO sit up
and beg for mercy"
May Be Law by November I.
II was the general consensus Of
opinion that the final passage of the
bill would not take place before No
vember 1.
The tax scheme Of the revenue bill
dips into the pOcketbook Of every man.
woman and child in the country. II
was framed, according u It's authors,
upon the principle Of levying taxes
upon those best able TO bear them. with
the result that the bulk Of the 5000
100000 will come from large incomes
and war profits. with the liquor traffic
yielding up more than 81 600 100000 as
