Hartford, Jan. 12-In a circular
being distributed throughout the state
by the committee on fuel conserya-
ton of the Connecticut State Council
of Defense the statement is made
that one factory has reported that as
the result of following conservation
instructions sent out a previous
circular a fuel saving of 1876 per
cent over the corresponding period
last year has been effected. These in
structions related chiefly to the best
methods of hand-f1ring boiler fur
naces and keeping boilers in good
order. The ne-r circular supplements
these with suggestions as to ways of
preventing loss in steam systems
through radicals and leakage, making
inspections of important boiler parts
and using exhaust steam for heating
factories and for process heating.
Copies of the circular can be obtained
from the fuel conservation commit
tee.

Folks, director of the branch of civil
affairs of that organization, given out
here today.
It covered the period from July to
December and disclosed that in the
three months ending Nov. /, this
branch of Red Cross activities alone
had expended more than $2,500,000.
The budget for the six months be-
ginning with November, already ap-
proved, amounts to more than sS,000,-
900. New work outlined by Folks
will require sixty more physicians and
800 nurses, with 800 other aids.
Major Murphy, recently at the head
of the Red Cross work in France, is
bringing back to America copy of
the report. It covers every civilian
activity and shows the wide scope of
the American organization in dealing
with such problems as tuberculosis,
maternity and baby hospitals, hous-

CONGRESS DELAY
TO CAUSE DEFICIT
IN TAX REVENUES
Department Forced to Collect
Under Old Law

WASHINGTON, Nov 2o.-Chaotic
conditions in the collection OF taxes
next year now seem unavoidable, ac-
cording to treasury statement which
has been prepared. commenting on III,
delay OF congress in enacting the pend
ing revenue bill. The statement to be
made public shortly, will explain why
the internal revenue bureau now is pro.
ceeding with plans to collect taxes un.
der the old law with its levies far be.
low those proposed in the new measure.
The only way to avoid resorting to
collections under the old law, the treas
ury now believes, is for congress to
rush the bill to completion within tw,
weeks. Most house and senate leaders
do not believe this possible In fact.
leaders Of both parties are said to share
the opinion with the treasury depart

enacted at this session.
Work May Be Lost.
Consequently the situation appears
The Oklahoma City times. [volume] (Oklahoma City, Okla.) 1908-1984, 1918-11-29

that all the work Of congress on revc-
nue. legislation turing the past six
months may 20 for naught and thar the
present revenue law will be enforced
for another year, with possibly a few
additional levies
In view of this, congressional lead
ers have discussed with treasury Off
cals the advisability Of trying to rush
through both houses Joint resolution
providing war profits taxes according
to the plan formulated during the pend
ing bill. and adding this to the old
law to make up the part OF the deficit
between the four billions which the ex-
isting law probably would raise and
the six billions which the treasury be
lieves should be raised by taxation il
1919. An unjust feature OF this pro-
gram, congressional leaders think,
would be that the existing provisions
for excess profits taxes have worked
recognized hardship on many businesses
and the imposition Of added war profits
taxes would aggravate the situation.
Notes May Be Issued
The possibility of having no new
comprehensive program OF revenue leg
islation and consequently OF raising
less than six billions, sought from this
source before the end of the fiscal year
June 20 next, has prompted the treas
ury to consider plans for issuing 3 a
quantity OF short-tcrm notes-maturinS
IN one year or less, and paying these

which would he necessary in 1870 This
course would depend largely however
