MORE MONEY NEEDED.
TAX LAW WILL HAVE no BE RE-
ADJUSTED.
Six Billion Dollars Sought From Ex-
cess Profits Not Yet In Sight.

Washington, July 25.-The house
ways and means committee, in tenta-
lively agreeing today upon graduated
tax on war excess profits estimated by
the treasury to yield only $1,69O, 900
revenue, found that either all it's plans
SO far tentatively agreed upon would
have to be readjusted in order to pro-
duce the $4,000, ,000.0 900 sought from
excess profits and incomes or to re-
sort to some new tax proposition. AS
now planned the revenue from these
two sources would fall $1,66O, 900, 900
short.
The committee, after an all day ses-
sion, tentatively agreed to specific
exemption Of $4,000, plus 10 per cent.
on invested capital instead of $4,000
plus Z to per cent. exempted from
excess profits tax under the present
law. Various taxing plans also were
discussed with the committee favor
Ing 30 per cent. on all net incomes
in excess of the exemption of 10 per
CEN. and not in excess of 20 per cent.
EXCESS profits; SO per cent. on net in
come in excess of 20 per cent and
not in excess of 25 per cent. and 80
per cent. on net income in excess Of
rs per cent. Under the present law
the war excess profits tax runs from
20 per cent. on net income in excess
OF the deduction and not in excess of
Is per cent. of invested capital for
the taxable year to so per cent. in ex-
cess of 33 per cent. of such invested
capital, together with per cent. on
n OF I'M in, of Co.
trade or business having no invested
capital.
Should it be necessary to revise the
tentatively agreed upon tax upon ex-
| cess profits, Chairman Kitchin today
stated the committee leaned to- the
| three following plans:
| TAX Of 80 per cent. on all net in
comes in excess Of the 10 per cent. ex-
emption, estimated by the treasury to
yield $2,4O0. 100000.
Tax Of 40 per cent. on all net in
comes in excess of exemption of 10
| per cent. and not in excess of 20 per
cent and 80 per cent. on all net in
come in excess of 20 per cent. esti-
mated by the treasury as possible OF
yielding $1,75O. 900, 900.
TAX of so to 80 per cent. on the
difference between the average per-
centage Of profits for the best four
of the six years from 1911 to 1916
inclusive, the years to be selected by
the corporation and the profits for the
taxable year, with a deduction OF 1C
per cent. for capital put in since 1916
No estimate of the revenue to ne rails
ed under this plan was made by the
treasury. but it was said this tan
would affect concerns which made
large profits before the war as well
as since the beginning Of the war;"

PLOW UP GRAVE
YARD AND PUT 1T
IN WAR GARDENS

McKeesport. Pa, May 22.-They're
going to raise liberty lettuce and win
the-war watermelons in the most ex-
elusive cemetery in McKeesport this
summer.
So intensive has become the war
garden campaign here that enough
space for all the gardens applied for
could not be found in all the vacant
lots and golf courses about town, so
the graveyard was drafted into the
service of democracy The demo-
cracy of the grave" no longer will be
a rhetorical figure. 1t will be mater
ialized in terms of cabbage and corn.
Already the vacant lots in the ceme-
terry have been plowed. They are be-
ing prepared for planting. and boys
and adults alike soon will be turning
the city of the dead into a mighty
lively location.
The city plowed and narrowed the
cemetery and river bank land, and is
furnishing fertilizer to all who ask it.
More than 100 acres has been parceIl-
ed OUT to persons who promise to use
it to the utmost for production of veg
eta bles.
