No Proof More Convincing.

NO proof can be more convincing
than the figures of the income tax.
Just read a few figures and see how
the rates rise or larger incomes; how
he burden is placed upon the rich.
The rich are paying an insurance, an
enormous insurance rate. They are not
making money because of the war.
They are losing money on the war,
losing gigantic sums most willingly
while realizing that everything for the
future is at stake
Income tax figures prove that war
is 4 costly business for all of US,
doubly. trebly, sometimes a hundred
fold more costly for those who can
afford the cost.
Secretary McAdoo has asked the
four-minute men to include in every
speech the announcement that every
man and woman who earned or got in
1917 as much as 81 600 net Off married.
$4,000, must make an income tax re-
turn. He feels that the mere an
nouncement is all that is necessary"
The bulletin contains a table Of in
come taxes which shows that the mar
ried men with an income of S2.500 pays
a tax of SO, > per cent on the amount
above the exemption Of $4,000, while
the $4,000 man pays $50 and the So
000 man 1855. the rate gradually in
creasing until it reaches the multi
millionaire class. The man with mil
lion dollar income will pay an income
tax of S475.IS0, and is subject in ad-
dition. to a war excess profits tax.

Convincing proof to the contrary is
offered by the committee on public in
forma tion i'll bulletin issued to the
four minute men who tomorrow begin
two-week campaign to urge the
prompt fling of income tax returns and
the prompt payment of taxes. The an
swer, the committee states, lies in n
comparison of the rates of taxation
affecting the millionaire and the man
of moderate income.
Following is a letter to the speakers
from William Mccormick Blair, direc-
tor of the four-minute men:
Was America deliberately pushed
into the war by our Captains of indus
try for money-making purposes? Are
the rich coming blood into gold while
the poor are taking on the greater bur
dens?
These are questions constantly wills
percd by German Sympathizers, openly
asked by many others who do not I'M
derstand the issues clearly. 1t is not
the function of the four-minute men
to denounce the sKeptics: another de-
partment of the government looks aft
er those who need threats. 1t is our
junction as public speakers to con-
vince We must bring proof to those
who have been deluded, showing them
how they are deIuded and by whom.

Washington, Oct 30-Attorney-Gen-

dent Wilson early tomorrow Charles
Z. Hughes report on airplane produc-
ton.
In letter of transmittal, the attof-
ney-general may express some views
differing from those OF Mr.. Hughes.
With whom he has collaborated per-
sonalIy throughout the inquiry
Mr.. Gregory discussed the report to-
day With Postmaster General Burleson
and Secretary Tumulty, who called at
the department Of justice. This call
followed the circulation of reports that
the attorney general might disagree
materially with Mr.. Hughes conclu-
sions.
The attorney general has spent most
of his time this week examining the
text of MIR. Hughes report, which sum-
mariZes the voluminous testimony Of
army officers, productions managers,
government engineers and engineers OF
plants holding contracts. The report
is understood to contain criticism of
inefficient methods disclosed and like
wise praise of achievements Of certain
government production directors
There also is said to be compre
lensive statement of the situation in
the airplane program today, which
recent reports of the war department
have shown to be ahead of schedule
Government plans for turning out
quantities OF airplanes and the results
achieved through cooperation of man
lfacturers are generally commended III
\Ir. Hughes report. 4 number of spe-
,ific acts and plans involved in the
zig task Of preparing the nation for

criticism, but in the light of later de-
some of these are held TO
