HOUSE APPROVES
TAX PROVISIONS
IN RECORD TIME
Sections Raising Many Mil
lions Passed Without Pro-
test.

WASHINGTON, Sept 19-All Of
the principal tax provisions of the new
war revenue bill we're approved by
the House Wednesday almost as fast
as two clerks working in relays could
read them. With only a few minor
provisions and amendments now to be
considered leaders believe a Anal vote
will be reached Friday.
After adopting within an hour the
war excess profits provisions without
change, the House passed important
sections raising many millions OF dol
lars without a word Of objection or
even discussion. Every amendment
proposed either was rejected sum-
marily or passed over so that the
Ways and Means committee can con-
slider them before final action is taken.
Adopted by House.
Besides the war excess profits sec
tons, which yield the greatest returns
to come from the bill, provisions
adopted to-day were taxes on estates,
estimated to raise $110, 100000; trans
portation, $187, OOO,0 900; amusement ad-
missions, $100,000,000; excise taxes, in
GLIDING automobiles, jewelry, luxuries
and semi-luxuries, $518,000 900; bever-
ages, $1,137, 100000; tobacco, s341 ,OO0,-
600; capital stock, s70,000,0O0; the fed
eral automobile license provision, $72.-
$4,000; stamp taxes, $32, 100000.
The luxury taxes caused some dis
cussion, some members contending the
bills rates to low and others that
they are too high. An amendment by
Representative Plat, of New York, to
reduce the Injuries rate from 20 to 10
per cent. was defeated.
The most important matters remain
ing to be disposed of are the proposal
to tax cotton So bale and to impose
per cent. tax on products of child
labor. The cotton tax was formally
proposed today by Representative
Moore, of Pennsylvania, and the
amendment met instant and spirited
opposition. Leaders predicted that
the amendment would be rejected

"Well have a cup of tea in the sitting

not embarrassed as she had been with

haired hostess.
