HOUSE MAY ACT ON
D. c. RENTS MONDAY

With a quorum OF the House ex-
pected next Monday and for several
days thereafter. because OF the army
appropriation bill. action may be
taken on the question of profiteering
in rentals in the District Unless there
is action then. It is predicted that
nothing will be done about such prof
iteerins until after the election.
The House conferees on the food
production bill. which includes the
Pomersne rental administration
amendment, have reached no decision
as to what they will do about that
amendment. The indications, however.
are they will take the position that
the food production bill should not be
used to carry rent profiteering legis-
lation and that this should be left to
the House District Committee.
Chairman Ben johnson OF the Dis
trict Committee Is opposed to having
the proflteering measure taken out OF
his hands and is expected to make q
fight to retain Jurisdiction OF It.

AUSTRALIA PLANS
COMPULSORY LOAN

MELBOURNE. Australia, Oct. IA
A bill making subscriptions to Aus
tralian war loans compulsory has
passed Tire first reading in the house
Of representatives. and the acting
prime minister. W. A Watt, has
moved the second reading.
The bill calls for making up \
shortage OF voluntary subscriptions
to present and future war loans. Two
classes Of citizens are exempt-those
whoSe income tax falls below $3.50.
and Australian soldiers and sailors
serving abroad.
The amount any individual may be
required to subscribe during any year
will not exceed six times his average
income tax for the three precedipg
years. An appeal board will have
power to exact q penalty from those
failing to subscribe a sufficient
amount, an amount equal to twice the
average yearly income tax for the
preceding three years This penalty,
however. will not relieve the indi-
vidual from the obligation to sub
scribe.
