Fears Putting Country son a Whisky

Washington, June g. Administra-
ton opposition to any attempt to stop
the manufacture Of beer and wine so
long as the sale of whisky is permit
ted was made certain with the an
Iouncement that Food Administrator
Hoover opposed such step because
he believed the evils attendant upon
putting the nation on whisky,
brandy and gin" basis would far out
weigh the small food savings that
would result. President Wilson al
ready had stated in a letter to Sen
ator Sheppard of Texas, prohibition
champion, that he would not use his
power to prohibit the use of food
stuffs in beer and wine unless Mr..
Hoover regarded such step neces-
sary. After the position of the presi-
dent and the food administration had
been made known Senator Sheppard
and others said the senate would
strike from the S11, 100000 emergency
agricultural bill house amendment
prohibiting the use of some 100000
carried by the measure unless manu-
facture of wine and beer was stopped
by the president.

U. s. WAR TAX
EIGHT BILLIONS
Secretary McAdoo Asks Direct
Levy, Brunt to Fall on
War Profits.
WANTS LUxURIEs HIT HARD.
Suggests Raise in Unearned Income
Rate-Gives Views in Letter to
Kitchin, Chairman of Ways
and Means Committee.

Washington, June 8.-Secretary Nc
AdOO on Thursday recommended In
letter to Chairman Kitchin of the
house ways and means committee that
the new revenue bill be drawn to raise
$8,O00,OOOOO0 by taxation, one-third
of the estimated $24,OO0,OOO,0 expen-
ditures In the fiscal year 1919.
He also recommended that war
profit tax be established at high rate.
to be superimposed upon existing ex-
cess profits taxes; that the normal In
come tax on unearned incomes De
raised and that heavy taxation be I'M
posed upon luxuries.
In his letter the secretary said:
IF I may, without improperly,
offer suggestion as to the revenue
measure, / should recommend:
Il. That one-third of the cash
fiscal year ending June 80, 1919, be
provided by taxation. According to
my estimates, this would involve rails
ing $8OOO,OOOO0O through taxation.
so. That a real war profits tax at
a high rate be levied upon all war
profits. This tax should be superim-
posed upon the existing excess prof
it's tax in such way that the tax
payer should be required to pay which
ever tax is the greater.
'"The existing excess profits tax
should be amended in certain impor-
tant particulars so as to remove in
equalities.
So That there should be sub
stantial increase in the amount or
normal income tax upon so-calied I'M
earned incomes. Under existing laws
earned incomes above certain ex-
emptions are taxed 4 per cent as an
income tax and per cent as an ex-
cess profits tax, making a total OF II
per cent, while unearned incomes, de-
rived from securities, etc., are taxed
only 4 per cent. The s per cent tax
should be recognized as an income
tax and the rate of II per cent a per
cent normal and per cent excess
profits) should be retained in respect
to earned incomes, while higher rate
than II per cent should be imposed
ON unearned incomes.
a. That heavy taxation be imposed
upon all Injuries"
Explaining his ideas for new tax
to reach actual profits made out of the
war, Mr.. McAdoo wrote:
1.-THE existing excess profits tax
does not always reach war profits.
The rates of excess profits taxation
are graduated and the maximum is
60 per cent. In Great Britain there
is fiat rate of 80 per cent on all war
profits.

NEW DRAFT CALL OUT
cRoWDER ASKS STATE COVER
NoRs FOR 100000 MEN.
Two Million in the National Army
When the New Men Called Reach
Cantonments.

Washington, June 7.-While mill
lion young Americans were registered
on Wednesday for service in the war,
orders went out from Provost Marshal
General CroWder to the governors OF
all states except Arizona to mobilize
between June "a and % 100000 men.
This brings the total selective serv-
ice men called up to 1896, 7O4. When
they are in camp the army will num-
Der over 100000.
The registration Wednesday was at
tended by the perfect order that
marked the enrolling year ago OF
100000 men.
The men who appeared on Wednes-
day before $500 local boards, military
authorities estimate, will yield 75O,-
600 fit for active duty.
While an act of congress requires
that the new registrants be placed at
the bottom of the class to which they
are assigned, many may soon be called,
as Wednesdays requisition upon gov
errors probably will exhaust the first
class in some states.
While no formal explanation was
made, this was believed to have been
the reason why Arizona was not in
Guided in Wednesdays call.
Registration days for men hereafter
becoming twenty-one years of age
probably will be fixed every three
months.
Assignments for the men called I'M
der Wednesdays order indicate the
rapidity with which troops now are
moving overseas.
It is estimated that 100000 men
become of age yearly, and the new
registrants are expected to go far to-
ward keeping up the first class in
each state from which thus far all
men for the national army have been
drawn.

Some time since woman entered

separation from her husband.
"Just a moment" responded the law
yer. Lets begin at the beginning.
Why do you wish a divorce?"
Because my husband snores," an
swerd the would-be client. "He SHORES
SO loudly that cannot Sleep"
"That is something, of course" re-

smile, "but didn't you take him for
better or for worse?"

joinder of the other, "but didn't take

that Prussia shall have war and
more war and mere war, until the very
thought of war is abhorrent to the

sity, which conferred upon him and
upon Lord Reading, the British am
