VAST INCOME

TOLD IN HOUSE
1000 Per Cent Increases
in 3 Years Shown in
Revenue Debate.
FEATURES EXPLAINED
Aspects Of Big Income Tax
Proposal Made Clear
by Kitchin.

Chairman Kitchin, OF the Ways
and Means Committee, opened the
debate on the sS,ooo,oooyooo rev.
enue bill yesterday by giving to
the House some startling figures
showing how personal incomes in
the United States have swollen
since the war. The figures were
taken at random from the secret
records of the Treasury Depart
ment.
at might produce a spirit OF
Bolshevism in the United States
if / read too many of thcm," he
explained.
Mr.. Kitchin read the list partly
to justify the committees action
in imposing heavy supertaxes on
all incomes in excess OF 100000
year. He explained that the
rates agreed upon by the commit
tee were larger than those in any
country of the world, whereas the
rates on the smaller incomes
would be much lower than those
imposed by either Great Britain
or France. '
One Striking 1nstnnee.
One OF the most striking Instances
Of the big increase i'm personal in
come since the war began. was given
by Mr.. Kitchin in the matter of the
incomes Of the president, superintend-
ent and treasurer OF a large manu-
featuring pipe concern. In 1914 the
income of the president OF this COM
pany. according to his income tax
return. was ss.s4l: in 1917 il was s729,-
600; the superintendent income Jump
ed from si.3i7 in 1914 to s735.OO1 in
1917. and the treasurer's income was
raised from ss,523 to S7l5,372
Other figures cited by him for the
purpose Of comparison were as fol-
lows:
The Washington herald., 1918-09-07

Members OF the House evinced
considerable interest in the read
ing of the figures. Representative
Cannon, of Illinois. inquired wheth-
er great many of these increases
did not arise from government war
contracts from the government. Mr..
Kitchin replied:
Il would make a guess that prob
ably most of these individuals max
ing these enormous increases in
profits. large majority of them
at least, had directly or indirectly
a war contract. That is why we
want to put the income taxes high
enough TO get them
The rates in the bill will take
s647,0oo from an income of $1,000
900 and leave S353.00O. A person
with a $1,000. 900 income will have
about s1,50O,ooo left. Explaining
this feature of the bill. Mr.. Kitchin
said that 1t was thought inadyis-
able to impose higher rates on the
larger incomes for the following
reasons. ~
First, men of such large incomes
do not expend them on living ex-
penses. but use them in expanding
their business.
Second, If the taxes are too high
men having these large incomes
will invest them in tax-rree bonds
and thereby escape taxation alto

Third. they would dunn their
securities on the market II the
taxes were made oppressive AMI

majority of the members believed
that az income tax would not be

Comparison OF Figures.
This bill raises twice as much
annual revenue as this or any other
nation ever attempted to produce"
Mr.. Kitchen said. 1T Is more than
three times the total of bombs issued
and taxes levied by the Federal gov.
eminent during the civil war, and
Se50o. 900, 900 more than the total cost
OF that war. firmly ttlIeve that tuc

The Federal Food Administrator
has directed that all tretailers of
food stuffs must sell with every
pound of flour pound of flour sub
stitutes. This puts the sale of flour
in the $3.50 class. There is no d.
rect law compelling retailers to OBJ
serve this. but there is one more
powerful than written into the sta
tutes. Every retailer disregarding
this will be unable to purchase food
stutfs from the wholesaler and thus
barred from doing business in this
line. Besides this every dealer who

TREES NOISE LIKE WHISPER
Scratching Upon Each Other Re-
; sponsibIe for Odd Chorus.

Henry Heinelle of Santa Monica,
who two years ago sent biologists on
q hike to the wilds of the Malibu by
reporting the discovery Of nest Of
dunes Of singing sands, has again
caused nature students to sit up and
take notice, according to the Los An
geles Times.
This time he reports the discovery
of a cump of whispering trees. The
find was made far up in Los Tunas
canyon, where the county surveyors
gang recently ran lines for mountain
road to connect the seashore via this
scenic canyon with the Topanga at its
junction with Garrapatas.
The mysterious trees are near the
button of the canyon, not far from
the Weber ranch. At this point the
wagon road Is hung on the side Of the
canyon, far above the trickling stream.
Persons passing along the road at this
point are invariably attracted by what
sounds to them as If somebody in the
underground were talking in sub
dued voice.
Shouts falling to bring response,
Mr.. Heinelle, after listening to the sup
posed whispered conversation, left the
trail and descended the precipitous
side of the mountain, expecting to dis
cover some hunter who had fallen and
injured himself. But there was no
evidence of life anywhere, although
the air was filled with indistinguish-
able whisperings.
The sound always came from the
same general direction, and the will
o'-the-wisp directed him to clump OF
scrubby trees, much in appearance like
the English holly-and then the mys-
! terry was solved. The needle-like points
| Of thousands of these stiff leaves,
swayed by the breeze blowing up the
canyon, scratching upon the surface
of other leaves was responsible for
the chorus.
The noise made by one leaf was so
slight that 1t could not be heard foot
away, but the thousands grating con-
tinuously together kept the sound vi
bratlons IN such constant motion that
their sigh was heard above the ordi'

"SOuls in Pawn"

Gail Kane as Lame Dore, the beautiful
young Frenchwoman who has sworn to
avenge the murder of her husband.
mysteriously slain at the door of his
palatial home, and who becomes spy in
behalf of Prince Won Kondemark on his
assertion that he will reveal to her the
murderer of her child father, is wonder
fully effective in her Mutual-American
production, Souls In Pawn"
Souls In Pawn" is one of the strongest
photodramas produced in the United
States since the beginning of the war.
1t has most brilliantly constructed war
plot based on story by julius GrinneIl
Furthman. The play is superbly directed
by Henry King.
The story involves thrilling series of
adventures which display the activity of
the enemy spy system in Paris and France
generally, in the period Immediately pre-
ceding and following the outbreak of war.
Miss Kane has difficult task set her to
preserve the nice balance between love
of country and desire for vengeance on
the assassin Of her best beloved, but she
succeeds admirably and although she at
last escapes with Kondemark, is forgiven
because 'Konde" is certainly handsome
devil and because love recognizes no ma
tional boundaries.
Henry King, director of the new pro-
duction, who also directed Miss Kane's
successful play, 1.-THE Upper Crust"
has done fine piece of work in this soul
stirring drama. 1t is a masterpiece of
stage direction. The French atmosphere
is preserved in the minutest detail. There
are French telephones, French banknotes,
French gestures French furnishings, and
Miss Kane has admirably achieved the
French air.
Included in the cast Robert Klein. a
well known character actor with ex-
perience on the French stage; Douglas
MacLean, who was with Maude Adams
in Peter Pan; Edward Peil, who was
formerly with Modjeska, and Ashton
