fair to Wait Until 1919, He
Reminded Congress

Washington, d. c., May 27.--Presiden'
Wilson personally took charge of the new
war tax legislation to-day and appeared
Unexpectedly before a joint session OF
Congress and declared it was necessary
to proceed Immediately with the new
war tax law.
Plans which might have delayed the
work but which involved a working
agreement between both parties, have
fallen through, the president told the leg
islators, and there was no way to meet
have Congress remain in session and go
ahead at once
The president called upon Congress to
eliminate politics from the consideration
Politics, he said, is adjourned" The
principal increases in taxation the presi-
dent said, should be on commissions, war
profits and luxuries.
1t would be manifestly unfair, the
president said, to wait until 1919 before
determining what the new taxes would
be. The presidents address was com
paratiyely brief, taking less than Is min.
utes for delivery. In specific terms the
president gave a distinct warning against
lobbying in connection with the new bill
There is indisputable evidence of prof
iteering at present, the president said,
and he declared 1t must be reached by
the new legislation.
"Profiteering that cannot be got at by
restraints of conscience" said the presi- |
dent, "ean be got at by taxation"
There will be no hesitancy in taxing |
lhe country, the president told Congress,
4 it were taxed Justly. He appealed to |
congress to approach the great task
without selfishness or fear of political
"An intense and pitiIess light beats
Ipon every man and every action in the
ragic part OF war that is now upon the
tage," said the president.
The president concluded with an ap-
zeal TO Congress TO do its work ungrudg-
ngly and said he could not guarantee
roper administration of the treasury
nless ehe question WAS settled at once.
When he had concluded his address,
he president Unexpectedly made brief
xtemporaneous statement in which he
aid that just as he was leaving the
White House for the Capitol he had
card that the new German drive ap-
arently had just begun and that it
dded to the solemnity of his conception
