GENERAL SALARY
RAISE UNLIKELY
Congress Not Expected to

WAR REVENUE BILL

for General Discussion.

General debate on the war revenue
bill was resumed today by the Senate.
In compliance with the request OF

was deferred to give the measure ex-
elusive consideration.
Criticism of the bill was continued

hope disposition of amendments Will
begin. Tomorrow Senator Penrose OF
Pennsylvania, senior republican on the
finance committee. plans to speak in
opposition to several features OF me
legislation, principally that for lS2o
tax rates.
Senator Smoot today enlarged on his
plan. outlined in his minority report,
for removal of what he terms "nagglng
taxes and gross discrimination in
other provisions Advocating annul-
ment of the excess profits tax plan.
Senator Smoot declared it is 1mpossi-
BILE to impose excess prontS Witnou,
discrimination. He added that he did
be adopted in consideration of the
present bill. and knew his argu...
ments now are absolutely useless.
but, he explained, they were advanced
fof future consideration.
Imposition of a l per cent retail
sales tax, Senator Smcot said. would
raise one billion dollars and make pos
sible the elimination of many small,
annoying rates in the bill.
Predicts Bonds to Nest Expenses.
Predicting that bonds will have TO
be issued in order to meet 1920 eS-
penses, Senator Smoot asserted that
the tax levy of four billion dollars
proposed in the bill for that year will
be insufficient.
BY that time, he added. the repub-
licans will be in control of Congress
and be charged by the public with re-
sponsibility for bonds caused by dem
ocratic legislation. Higher taxes on

present general policy were advocat-
ed by the Utah senator. In reply
Senator Robinson of Arkansas. demo-
c-at. contended that business inter-
ests should know what taxes must be
borne in 1920. as proposed in the bill.
That he could see no reason for not
having an extra session of Congress
next year, to consider tax and other
legislation, was declared by Senator
Smoot, who said the American people
! demonstrated in the recent election
of a republican Congress their conf
dence in republican legislation.
BY 1921, at least, Senator Smoot
said, a sinking fund to take up gov
