the plan for league of nations will
bind the United States to an un-

expressed by diplomats here today
1t is even thought that Great Britain
at the present time, may demand
that the United States take immedi-
ate steps to preserve order in that
nation. 1t is understood that the
English are not desirous of violating
the Munroe doctrine principle and
yet they feel that English interests
in Mexico must be protected against
further loss.

REVENUE BILL PROGRESS
SENATE is GETTING ALONG
VERY NICELY NOW
Many Important Amendments to
This Measure Have Been
Adopted

Washington, Dec. 1S.-The Senate
made rapid progress on the war reve-
nue. bill, with leaders apparently unit
ing to hasten it's passage late this
week or at least before the holidays.
After Senator Penrose of Pennsyl-
vania, senior Republican of the finance
committee, had delivered an address
urging prompt passage of the bill but
disappearing its provision to fix 1920
tax rates, the Senate, with only a
handful of members present and with
perfunctory discussion, adopted many
important amendments and approved
pages of minor provisions. Considera-
ticn of all 1920 rates, however was
postponed by unanimous consent.
Excess Profits Rates Adopted.
Among important sections adopted
were:
The war excess profits rates for
1919, ranging from 50 to 80 per cent
as revised by the finance committee
and estimated to raise $2,4O0,0O0,000
as compared with S3,200,000,000 under
the House bill.
Individual income surtaXes ranging
from l to So per cent as revised by
the finance committee and designed
to produce $1,045, 069, 900 as compared
with $1,06S, 100000 under the House
bill
Rates of $6.40 and 1920 per gallon,
respectively on distilled spirits for
beverage and non-beverage purposes,
as reduced from the respective So and
$40 gallon rates of the House bill
and estimated to raise $450,0O0000, as
against $3.50, 100000 under the House
draft; taxes on freight, passenger, ex-
press, Pullman and oil pipe line trans
portation, as proposed in the finance
committees revision and estimated to
yield S229,000,000 and repeal on July
/ next of the law increasing first class
mail rates from to cents an ounce
and providing for restoration of the
old pre-war rates, involving a revenue
of about $50,000,000.
la Toilette Has Surtax Amendment.
When these provisions were adopt
ed reservations were made by several
senators of their right to offer substi
tutes or amendments later. Senator
La Toilette of Wisconsin, Republican,
announced he would offer an amend.
ment for revision of the individual in.
come surfaces, and Senator Thomas of
Colorado, Democrat, gave notice that
! he would propose war-excess profits
rates in lieu of the committee plan
Senator La Toilette also plans to
propose substitute for the war prof
it's section and changes in the trans
portation rates. The committee amend
ment for restoration of pre-war post
age rates on letters and postcards
next July was adopted without dis
cussion.
