the war revenue bill was substan-
TALLY completed tonight by the SEN
ate finance committee Amend
ments perfecting the program of rails
ing six billion dollars in 1919 were
adopted and by a strict party vote
The committee formally approved
Chairman Simmons plan to raise
four billion dollars in 1920 through
reduction Of individual and corpora
tion income rates, elimination of the
war profits tax and the reduction OF
the excess profit rates.

committee voting solidly in opposi-
tlon, the ten democrats adopted

1919 and to reduce the excess profits
rates in 1920 TO o minimum of 20 pev
cent and q maximum OF 40 percent

Although the committee now prac
tically has completed the bill, 1t be-
came known today that the internal
revenue bureau has almost despaired
| OF the enactment OF the measure be
fore January / and has made full
plans for collection of taxes under
the old law, by which 1t is estimated
only $l.G00,O00.o00 would be pro

WAR STAMP DRIVE
BEGINS TOMORROW
County l: Asked to Pledge $751;
10000 to be Paid by End
of Year.

.. The drive for the sale Of War Savings
Stamps commences tomorrow. There
were over three hundred committee peo-
pie in different parts of the county ap-
pointed to sell stamps some time ago
by Chairman S. B. Qvale. For the pur-
pose of this drive, chairman has been
appointed in each precinct.
War Savings Stamps are somwhat
different from the Liberty Bonds, in
that the money in an emergency may
be secured at any time on giving ten
days notice. This makes it good
means for societies and other organi-
cations having funds on hand to place
this money at the disposal of the Gov
ernment. The Dovre q Mamre Insur-
ance Company placed $1,000 Of their re-.
serve fund in War Savings Stamps, and
the example is we'll worth emulation.
Everything that we have or expect
to have worth while in this life is at
stake in the tremendous world conflict.
Our country must and will win this war.
The financial support of the Government
is very. vital, and the War. Savings
the savings of the people, be they small
or large, may be placed at the disposal
of the Government. The drive put on
to raise our country's quota should re-
ceive a cheerful response from our peo-
pie.
In the City Of Willmar, Mayor wellin
has arranged for the selling of stamps
at the principal stores.
