INCOME SURTAX
RATE HOISTED
BY COMMITTEE
Millionaires Will Be Larger
Source of Revenue; Lux
uries Segregated for Sep
arate Consideration in
Schedule.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Surtaxes on
all incomes above 100000 were in
creased with maximum Of rs per
cent on all above 100000 by the
house ways and means committee in
it's consideration of the $4,000, 0O0,-
900 revenue bill. Incomes between
100000 and 100000 will pay SO
per cent surtax instead of the SO
per cent, heretofore planned; in
comes of 100000 to 100000, so
per cent instead of So; 100000 to
$1,00O,O00, IS per cent instead Of
SO; 100000 to $5,000,000, 70
per cent and all above $1,000, 900,
rs per cent instead of 65 per cent,
as at present.
FavOrs English System
Speaking for the treasury depart
ment, R. c. Leffingwell, assistant
secretary in charge of the internal
revenue, advised the committee in
favor of the English system of both
excess profits and alternative war
profits taxes, the treasurer to apply
whichever plan promises the greater
revenue in each case. He proposes
leaving the excess profits plan as ten
tatively agreed upon and adding the
provision for the alternative plan to
reach war profits. T. S. Adams,
treasury tax expert, gave similar
views.
Segregate Luxury Lists
The luxuries report submitted
Monday lists two groups of articles,
one altogether Injuries and the other
in part luxuries. As to the first
group, the committee recommended
a 10 per cent tax on retail sales and
on the other it, suggested that the
should have several
weeks to determine its final recon-
The full committee Monday took
no final action in the first group. 1t
re-referred to the subcommittee the
question as to method of levying the
luxury taxes and final recommends
tons on the whole subject, indicating
some sentiment that jewelry ought
to be subjected to a manufacturer
tax instead of retail sales tax. The
subcommittee will make final re-
port later.

Lloyd George Sends Message
of Warning to British En-
pird; Present Victory Only
Step on Way to World
Peace.

LONDON.-"Hold fast" was tn
keynote of message to the British
empire issued by Premier Lloyt
George and promulgated in a dras
tic way thru the kingdom at the hou
of 9 o'clock Monday night. The mes
sage was read to the audiences in al
theaters, cncert halls and othel
places where people were assembled
Sealed copies of the message ha(
be, n distributed to the managers o.
all these places, with the reques
that they open and read it at
o'clock. The message follows:
Hold Fast"
"The message which | send to the
people of the British empire on the
fourth anniversary of the entry into
the war is:
"'Hold fast
1--WE are in this war for no selfish
ends. We are in it to recover free.
dom for the nations which have been
burtally attacked and despoiled and
to prove that no people, however
powerful, can surrender itself to the
lawless ambitions of militarism with
out meeting retribution, swift, GER
tain and disastrous at the hands OF
the free nations of the world. To
stop short of victory for this cause
would be to compromise the future
of mankind.
Mask is OF
81 say hold fast!' Because our
prospects of victory have never been
so bright as they are today. Six
months ago the rulers of Germany
deliberately rejected the just and rea-
sonable settlement proposed by the
allies. Throwing aside the last
mask of moderation, they partitioned
Russia, enslaved Rumania and at
tempted to seize supreme power by
overthrowing the allies in final and
desperate attack. Thanks to the in
vincible bravery of all the allied
armies, it is now evident to all that
this dream of universal conquest,
for the sake of which they wantonly
prolonged the war, can never be full
filled.
Battle Not Yet Won
But the battle is not yet won.
The great autocracy of Prussia will
still endeavor, by violence or guile,
to avoid defeat and so give militar-
ism a new lease of life. We cannot
seek to escape the horrors of war
for ourselves by laying them up for
our children. Having set our hands
to the task, we must see it thru till
a just and lasting settlement is
achieved.
I'm no other way can we endure
a world set free from war.
Hold fast!'
(Signed) LLOYD GEORGE"

HE USED TO LIVE HERE

C. G. Keller was down from Idaho
Falls the last of the week attending
to a little business. Mr.. Keller was
in the implement business in Black
foot about twelve years ago, and
went from here to Rexburg, did well
for number Of years and then met
with reverses that broke him finan-
cially.
Two or three years ago he located
in Idaho Falls and opened an office
for attending to collections, and is
rebuilding his fortunes. During the
past few months he has been twice
on the operating table and is just
recovering from his last hospital ex-
perience.

KEYSTONE MAN
 VISITS PHOENIX

r.. M Huntsinger. a well known writer of Pennsylvania, is spending at least a week in the Salt River valley and is gathering data for articles in various eastern publica- tions.
 Mir Huntsinger has been here be- fore. and in an interview with Secre- taly Harry Welch of the Phoenix chamber of commerce this morning, he said that he had planned two years ago to so arrange his trip as 10 spend Easter this year in Phoenix. Mir. Huntsinger said further that he had visited every state capital in the United States and without excepting any, our capitol grounds arc far more beautiful in every way, more attractive. than any other cap- itol grounds in the United States" The value of such a statement as this coming from one who has not only travelled, but has made a speciality of noting all points of scenic inter est, is of particular value and should make ms all a little proud of this one point of scenic interest.
