TAXES IN 1920
Senate Committee Aims at
Reducing Old Rate by
Amending Bill.

BY a partisan vote OF the Senate
Finance Committee yesterday the to-
tai amount to be raised by taxes in
1920 was fixed at s4,OOO,OOO,OO0 Amend
ments to the pending revenue bill to
effect the necessary reductions in the
tax rates will be submitted to the
committee today by Chairman Sim
mons for ratification.
All of the Democrats on the COM
mittee supported the proposal, which
was originally suggested by Secretary
McAdoo. The Republican members
voted against it. Senator Simmons
voted the absentees among the Demo-
Gratis, so that the final vote was 9 to
6. the Republican Senators opposing
it being Lodge. Penrose, Smoot, Nc
Cumber, Dillingham; and La Toilette.
Passing Soon Impossible.
The committees action makes ii ex-
tremely improbable that the revenue
bill will be passed at the coming
short session of Congress. The Re
publican Senators announced that
they would block any attempt to put
through the bill containing such a
provision, which, in their opinion,
would tie the hands of the incoming
Republican Congress in the matter of
financial legislation:
II the bill fails, as seems likely in
view Of the united Republican oppo-
sition. President Wilson will have to
call Congress together in extraordi-
nary session very soon after March
to enact tax bill. 1t is agreed on
all sides that to delay the enactment
of the bill until the time for the con-
vening Of the regular session in De-
cember of 1919 would injure business
to a greater extent than to enact the
pending bill without the 1920 clause
in it
s4,o0O, 900 900 for 1920.
''The Republicans are willing to vote
for the pending bill without this propo-
sition in 1t" Senator Penrose added
Otherwise they will oppose it to the
end"
The resolution which the committee
adopted sets forth that It Is the sense
of the committee, that the taxes for
1870 should be reduced to approximate
ly $4,000. .eoo. .oo0"
The committee rescinded its action
in placing individuals and partnerships
under the scope of the war profits and
excess profits taxes, and decided that
they should be exempt as in the House

PLENTY OF FOOD BUT PEO-
 PILE MUST LEARN CONSERVE

Carl Vrooman, assistant secretary of the department of agriculture, who spent several days in St. Louis, de- clared there is plenty of food in America, but the people must learn to conserve it.
 "We are sending wheat to our allies in amounts that would endanger our own supplies" he said. "The wheat crop last year increased the harvest a billion bushels over the harvest of the preceding year, and this year it will be increased billion and half bush els. The next step of the food admin istration will be to stimulate the use of dried and dehydrated foodstuffs. Germany could never have weathered the storm had she not taken green vegetables and dried them. Dehy- drated foods are as nourishing and palatable as canned vegetables. This would not mean the elimination of canning, but plan to augment can ming.

RIOT IS RAGING
 FULL BLAST IN RUSSIAN CAPITAL
First Victims Were Two Kerens- ky Lieutenants Who We're Murdered in Bed-Streets Are Like Battlefields.

Stockholm, Jan. 21.-Civil war, which. Lenine practically courted when he broke up the constituent as- sembly, is raging full blast in Pet rograd. It's first victims of promi- hence were two loyal lieutenants of Kerensky, A. 1. Shingareff, ex-minis- ter of finance, and Professor F. F. Kokoshkine, former state controller. They were murdered in their beds in the hospital to which they had been removed from the Fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul.
 Both men were influential in Rus sia politics for many years. Both had elgions of friends. Shingareff's murder particularly shocked the whole Muscovite land to the core, for he was one of the most beloved of the masses. Years ago he achieved nationwide note through his works on the sanita- tion of the peasantry. He was then a physician, pioneer in the fight for the "mujiks" well being.
 The reds and the social revolution ists are at war, this time to finish, both sides VOW. Since Friday night Petrograd's streets have been battle fields. But the scope of this new struggle is expected to reach far be- yond the capitals gates, out across the endless steppes of the starving Muscovite land, whose outraged peo- pie behold a government" melting brothers to strife, while bargaining for peace with the foreign foe.
 Nicholai Lenine, it became known today, slept peacefully through the greater part of the assembly's open- ing and closing session, but when revolver shots began to bang into the wild tumult of voices, he arose and went swiftly to the center of the platform and declared the assembly closed. He told his shrieking audi ence that he was well aware his dream of a socialist state could be realized only via civil war.
 But this does not deter us" was his parting remark.

REVOLT SWEEPS LIKE WILD FIRE
 OVER AUSTRIA
Nearly Two Million Men and Women Laborers Have Gone on Strike-The Cabinet Has Resigned.

Amsterdam, Jan. 21.-Revolt is sweeping through Austria Hungary at wildfre pace. Overnight the number of strikers has grown from 100000 to nearly two million men and women. The emprie's munitions output is naralvzed. Trade and traffic are al- most at a standstill except where they are kept going by troops hastily sum- moned from the front. Peace and bread riots are converting the cities into armed camps With the demands for peace and bread is mingling a cry of hate against the Pan-Germans who are held responsible for the fact that peace has not yet been concluded, at least with Russia.
 The cabinet, Count Czernin, in the lead is said to have resigned. The Berlin Morgen Post asserts this, ad- ding that Count Toggenburg has been asked by Emperor Charles to form a new government.
 The young emperor himself stands between the menace to his throne from within and complete surrender to the annexationists at Berlinn.
 A frantic interchange of messages is going on all day and all night be- ,,,,oor tbo 4,,.o Tau+np oap,+olS Opa side or the other must back down, that much seems inevitable.
 If it be true that Count Czernin has quit as foreign minister, there is no doubt in diplomatic quarters here that the German annexationsits have won out Czernin was the first Euro pean statesman to endorse the Russian formula of mo anneXations or indem- mites" and he has again and again re-endorsed it. in Vienna, Berlin and at Brest-Litovsk.
 The effect his resignation will have upon German political life is expected to serve as barometer of the junkers strength. If the reichstag majority takes it without protest, it will be a sign, observers argue, that the Ger man "bloc" has been brought under the annexationists sway.
 In the Hapsburg Empire Kingdom itself, the effect of Count Czernin's fall cannot be estimated. Those who know conditions there best look for real rising of the masses against

M 'ADOO STATES
 FUEL EDICT WAS
 FOR HIS BENEFIT
Order Was Due to Transporta- tlOn Troubles As We'll As Coal ShOrtage-RailrOad Director Chilled.

Washington, Jan. 21.- Declaring that he would rather err on the side of liberality than tie up the nations transportation system in litigation. William G. McAdoo, director general .of transportation, defended before the senate interstate commerce corl- mittee today his plan for compensat- ing the roads.
 Bitter cross examination of the witness was precipiated, led by Sena- tors Cummins and La Toilette and in the midst of the cross fire, Chairman k. D. Smith adjourned the hearing.
 When, on top of this, the chairman proceeded to inform McAdoo that he would not be needed again, there was such chorus of protests from committeeman that the chairman an- nounced that McAdoo would appear again.
 Do you believe in government ownership?" was one of the first questions popped at Director General McAdoo by Senator Watson of h. diana.
 McAdoo replied he did not, then he qualified and elaborated his an swer.
 "How did you base the compensa- tion for the railroads ?" asked Sena- tor Kellogg, of Minnesota.
 "They are based," replied McAdoo, lon what is reasonable in view of the emergency. It is a good trade for the government, $1,000,000, 900 less than the roads earned last year"
 Do you think their earnings fair or exorbitant?"
 "We must remember, Senator, that what We propose is not what we im- pose. The roads would have their recourse to the courts. I would rather err on the side of liberality and get possession than have to com mt the whole question to the court because the roals thought them selves unfairly treated.
 "It is suggested, though" said Kel- logg, that the we'll paid ones under your scheme will agree to it and those not doing so well viii go to the courts 7"
 "All we can do is to offer,' said McAdoo.
 Some roals are in the hands of receivers. What of them?"
 "We ought declared the director, "to help reorganize them on sound basis. On a basis fair to the public and to their security holders"
 Kellogg and McAdoo engaged in a lively colloquy over the directors in- sistance that congress hold the roads after the war until legislation was [ drafted. McAdoo finally admitted nc Legislation would be necessary if con- gress wished the roads to return to the recent competitive basis"
