senate TO REDRAFT
HAR-REVENUE Bill!
Upper House Opposes Ex-
cess Profits Schedule
Adopted by Committee
REPUBLICANS SEE
SIDETRACK SCHEME

WASHINGTON, July 29.-The ss,00o-
100000 war revenue measure now be-
ing drafted by the Ways and Means
Committee Of Congress Will DO. entire
ly rewritten In the Senate and Will be
not become a law, according TO all
indioatlons, until after January 4.
Both the radical and the conserve
tive clements IN the Senate openly eX-
press disapproysl OF the bill as so far
drawn by the House committee.
The exoess-proflts schedule adopted
by the Way and Means Committee es-
pecially has aroused opposition In the
entire Senate, while hte Republican
Senators are accusing the Ways and
Means COMMITTEE Of dilatory tactics IN
loosely drafting the revenue bin IN an
effort TO sideiraok the enactment OF
revenue legislation until after the No
vomber elections.
The various factions In the Senate
arc almost a unit In declaring the ex-
cess-profts tax provisions decided upon
by the House committee will not
reach the war prohteers, and there also
is universal disapproval in the upper
branch OF Congress Of the proposal OF
the committee for a 10 per cent. nor
NAL tax on incomes.
The excess-proflts tax provision. as
Il has been adopted by the House oom-
mittee, Is a tax on all profits, and not
a tax on war profits, the conservatives
In the Senate contend. They are not In
favor OF levying too heavy a tax on
profts not directly due to the war;
but, along with the administration
leaders IN The Senate. they are insist
ing government take all war profits.
The Republicans want this TO be done
gradually, but they have Joined the
other members OF the Senate IN insist
ing the new bill take all war profits
with which 20 pay the cost Of the
war.
The 20 per cent. normal tax on IN
comes Is universally regarded in the
Senate as exorbitant and the Senator'S
are afraid OF tho effect OF such a tax
would have on future Liberty Loans.
The Republicans IN the Senate see
IN the adoption Of the two important
provisions by the House Committee
only q scheme for delaying final action
on the new revenue bul.
The Federal Trade Commission made
a report showing that proflteerlng ex-
lists on an alarming scale. Although
the basis OF the commissions report
was figures for last year, the report
declared war prOnteering was even
worse this year.
Notwithstanding the Presidents dec-
laration and the report OF the Federal
Trade Commission, the Ways and
Means Committee has decided a profit
that will weld only 81. 500. 10000, which
Is only $500, 900 more than the pres
enl law, and which viii not reach the
war profiteers at all, according 70 the
Senator's.
There Is apparently no possibility
that the bill viii be reported 10 the
House from the Ways and Means Com
mittee until September 4. Il will re-
quire a month to pass II in the House
and then IL will so 70 the Senate
Finance Committee, where lt VIII be
rewritten.
The rewriting Of the measure will
require at least a month before it can
come before the Senate. Il viii be
election time then. and an election re- |
cess will intervene before considera-
ton OF the bill can continue.

GERMAN CITIZENS ARE
GENERALLY LOYAL
New York Banker in Address SAYS
Only Small Part Are Still
for Kaiser.

Madison Wis, Jan. 15-Speaking
at the University of Wisconsin, Otto
H. Kahn, of the banking firm of Kahn
Loeb & Co.. of New York city, said
in part:
Wherever in this fateful time true
Americans are gathered together,
their thoughts will turn to a purpose
which is one and the same wherever,
throughout the world, the language
of free men is spoken.
1T is the purpose of common de-
termination to fight and to bear and
to dare everything and never to cease
nor rest until the accursed spirit
which has brought upon the world
the unutterable calamity, the devils
visitation, of this appalling war, is
destroyed beyond all possibility of
resurrection.
Some there are, a small minority
always, and getting smaller every
day, among Americans of German
birth or descent who lack the vision
to see their duty or the strength to
| folliw it, and who stant irresolute,
hesitant and dazed.
''The vast and overwhelming ma
jority have acted like true men and
loyal Americans. They are entitled
to claim your sympathetic under
standing for the heartache which Is
theirs. and they.are entitled to claim
your trust. 1t will not be misplaced.
II am taking very little account of
that insignificant number of men of
German origin who misguided or cor
rupt, dare by insidious and under
ground processes to attempt to weak
en- or oppose the resolute will of the
nation. There are too few of them to
count and their manoeuvers are too
clumsy to be effective. But let them
be warned.

OUR ATTITUDE TOWARD ENEMY
PEOPLES.

I'VE do not wish in any way to i'm
pair or to rearrange the Austrian
Hungarian Empire. 1t is no affair of
ours what they do with their own life,
either industrially or politically. We
do not purpose or desire to dictate to
them in any way. We only desire to
see that their affairs are left in their
own hands, in ali matters, great or
small.
1--WE shall hope to secure for the
people of the Balkan Peninsula and
the Turkish Empire the power and
right to make their own lives safe,
their own fortunes secure against op-
preston or injustice and from the
dictation of foreign courts or parties.
"And our attitude with regard to
Germany herself is of like kind We
intend no wrong against the German
Empire, no interference with her in
ternal affairs. = We are in fact
fighting for her peoples emancipa-
tion from fear along with our own
from that fear as we'll as from the
fact of unjust attack by neighbors, or
rivals or schemers after world empire
No one is threatening the existence
or independence of the peaceful en-
terpris of the German Empire" (Ex-
tract from the Presidents Message
of Dec. ~
