GRADUATED EXCISE AUTOMOBILE TAXES I ARE AGREED UPON Tax Applying Direct to
 Owners Ranges From
 $1O a Year Up GASOLINE PRODUCTION TAX 2 CENTS GALLON War Profiteering Comes in for Long Discussion by Ways and Means
 Committee, Which Desires to
 Further Tax Corporations

Washington, July 31.-A
 federal graduated excise tax
 on the use of automobiles run
 ming from $10 a year on cars
 originally retailed at not ex-
 ceeding $500 to $60 tax on $3000 cars and $20 additional for each $500 above S3000, was
 agreed to today by the House ways and means committee, which is framing the new SS,- 00O,0O0,O00 revenue bill
 The tax applies directly to the own CTS. while the tax of,lO per cent on gross sales of automobiles and , per cent on gross sales of automobile trucks, agreed to yesterday, applies to the manufactur CTS. producers and importers of cars. me tax on use of cars is based on the original retail listed price of the cars regardless of the year of manufacture.
 The committee also agreed to tax of cents per gallon on the production of gasoline and u federal excise tax If 5 year on the use of motorcycles. Members of the committee stated that while the manufacturer tax and the owners tax are differentiated it is gen, eraliy believed the owners ultimately will have to pay all the tax, the manu- lecturers passing on the tax in in- creased prices. The automobile and mo- torcycie excise tax is expected to vic! approximately s12o.oOooo0 and the gaso- line tax s45,000,00O.
 War profiteering was the subject of a prolonged discussion today with tech nical calculations as to what various schemes would yield in the way of rcve- nue as compared with other revenue plans. There Was disposition ultimate. ly to agree on some additional form Ing heavy profits that might not be taxed sufficiently under the excise profits and corpo'ati tion income tax rates
 Chairman Kitchin explained that while war profits as q separate proposition were passed over the excess profits includes war profits. lie said the excess profits tax will reach the cor porations making large profits both De fore anc after the beginning of the Eu- ropean var and under that schedule con- cerns making t6o per cent profits on in vested capital turned over a heavy reve- nue to the government after the reguiaI deductions had been mad.

RESERWSTS ARE CALLED ID MAN
 U. 5. TRANSPORTS Thousands of Reservists Or dered to Report for Duty by Navy Department SOON WILL REPLACE
 CIVILIAN SAILORS Number Called Limited Only by the Available Facilities for Handling
 Them at the Naval Train
 ing Stations

Washington, July 31-In ac- cordance with a prc-arranged plan for the navy to take over control of all shipping en- gagged in transporting troops and war supplies, orders have been issued by the navy de partment calling several thou sand reservists into active duty. The number called, it was stated officially today, was limited only by the avail able facilities for handling them at the naval training stations.
 After undergoing a few weeks in- tensive training the men will be or ganized into crews which will be util- ized to replace the civilian sailors now manning the troop and supply ships and for vessels that are constantly be- ing turned over to the navy under it's own construction rogramme.
 To hasten the process of transferring the military tonnage heads of the va rious departmental bureaus have in augurated strict canvass of the men on shore duty in their organizations to determine how many can be spared for service with ships or troops.
 At marine corps headquarters orders have been issued to detach every man whose place can be filled by a woman. The men will be sent to one of the corps stations for duty with unit.
 Similarly Rear Admiral McGowap paymaster general of the navy, has. started a campaign for. the reduction in the number of petty officers. yeomea and enlisted men, who are filling cler- cal positions in the bureau of supplies and accounts. The bureau of navigation, under Rear Admiral Palmer. was the first to undertake this step as d re- suit of which several hundred men w z be added to the force available Or service at sea-

FOURTH LIBERTY
 LOAN DRIVE ID
 START SEPT. 28
Believed Amount of Next Loan Will Be For Six Bill lions-Campaign Will
 Last Until October

Washington, July 31.-The
 campaign for the Fourth Lib erty Loan will open Saturday, September 2S, and continue three weeks, ending October l I19, it was announced tonight by Secretary McAdoo. Tn fixing three weeks as the length of the campaign for the Fourth Liberty Loan, instead of the four weeks as in previous loans, treasury officials plan for more intensive campaign. A shorter campaign, it was said, also will enable more business men to enlist as workers.
 The. date for the campaign was an- nounced at this time in orcer to allow campaign organizations to prepare for the sale of bonds and to prevent the planning of other campaigns which might interfere with the Notation of the loan.
 Although official announcement has not been made, the amount of the loan
 probably will be s6,000, 100000 and the
 rate of interest which the bonds will
 bear "A per cent. Should the treasury
 decide soon to place on the market ctr-
 tficates of indebtedness redeemaole
 next June when taxes are due, the
 amount of the loan may be reduced.
 Secretary McAdoo has said he docs
 not contemplate making an extended
 speaking tour for the Fourth Loan, as he has done in previous campaigns
 President Wilson has received several
 invitations to make addresses during
 I, y,ai ion, h1It oc rnf hoS rA ir1- dicated whether he will make any speeches for the loan.
 Officials in charge of the campaign have announced that special appeal
 will be made to farmers, who sub scribed literally to the last loan.
