NJ 'ADOO IN FAVOR
OF 8OPER CENT TAX
ON WAR PROFITS

CHICAGO, Aug. s-Secretary Nc
Adoo favors a fiat war profits tax of
so per cent. He made the announce
ment in the following telegram to
Chairman Kirchin, of the House Ways
and Means Committee:
"I regard the war profits tax as an
integral and indispensable part OF
that program. ! am confirmed in my
opinion that a fat war profits tax of
so per cent should be imposed. OF
course, ample safeguards should be
provided against hardships in eX-
traordinary cases in the application
of such a rate The adoption of an so
per cent war profits tax should render
unnecessary, and l believe undesiTa-
BILE, any increase in the existing eA-
cess profits tax rate.
III is my strong conviction that the
taxation Of genuine war profts is
the only way to reach real war prom
teerinR. and that IL is at the same
time a thoroughly tuStihable meas
ure upon economic grounds as well
as a certain and Indispensable pro
ducer of a large part OF the required
revenue.
The patriotic producers of Amer
lea should be content II one-hfth OF
their war profits are secured TO them

BILL TO PERMIT
PAYING OF TAXES
IN ININSTALLMENTS

Provision for payment Of income
and excess prefts taxes in three In
stallments was developed by the
House Ways and Means Committee
today.
The dasSs Of payment were set at
March 10, June iA and September To-
with the added provision that any
corporation or Individual who pays
Che whole tax By March or Iune shall
receive q discount Of 1-s per cent
on the portion paid ahead OF schedule.
COnseEuion no Corporations.
The plan OF paying taxes in Install
ments IL concession to big corpora
tions, officials Of which contend that
the present plan OF forcing the pay
rnent Of all taxes on one date-June
1B-involyss too great q strain on
their finances and forces excessive
borrowing to meet their taxes.
When these arguments were put
before the Treasury, Internal Reve-
nue. Collector Roper was inclined 10
allow installment payments under the
present bill. but the plan was vetoed
by Secretary McAdoo.
no word that McAdoo will oppose the
provision In the new bill, which was
fathered by Congressman White OF
Ohio.
The schedule OF income surtaxes
decided on by the committee is now
practically worked out, and viii be
announced by Chairman Kltchin late
today or tomorrow.
This leaves the committee with
excise taxes, including liquor. luxury,
and a host of other rates to be worked
cut between now and August 10.
To Tax President.
The committee yesterday decided to
tax the salaries of the President,
$ Judges, Cabinet officers, and State,
county, and city officials. as well as
county and municipal bonds hereafter
issued except those issued to refund
old bonds. Several committeeman
privately expressed doubt as to the
constitutionGlity OF the new bond tax.
Life insurapce policies above
SAC. 900 will be included in the In
heritance tax, it was decided.

T0DAY's AID TO BEAUTY

Hair is by far the most conspic-
uous thing about us and is proba-
bly, the most easily damaged by
bad or careless treatment. If we
are very careful in hair washing,
we will have virtually no hair trou-
bles. An especially fine shampoo
for this weather, one that brings
out all the natural beauty of the
hair; that dissolves and entirely re-
moves all dandruff, excess oil and
dirt; can easily be used at trifling
expense by simply dissolving a tea
spoonful of Canthrox (Which you
can get at any druggist's) in a cup
of hot water. This makes full cup
of shampoo liquid-enough so it is
easy to apply it to all the hair in
stead Of just the top Of the head.
This chemically dissolves all impur-
tiles and creates a soothing, cooling
lather. Rinsing leaves the scalp
spotlessly clean, soft and plant,
while the hair takes on the glossy
richness of natural color, also
fluffiness which makes it seem
much heavier than it is. After
Canthrox shampoo, arranging the
hair is pleasure.-Adv.

Free Trade With Germany.

Perhaps the present is not the most oppor-
tune time for the discussion Of the commercial
relations of the world after the war. but some
OF President Wilson's recent remarks have led
to reflections abroad that some sort of under
standing as to what is involved might be of
advantage to all Free commercial intercourse
as an element of the proposed league of nations
is drawing most attention. In Great Britain OBJ
lections have been outspokeny filed against the
admission of Germany to any such combination.
For example, the London Outlook says:
When we are invited by men in RESPONSE
Bile positions not only to let the enemy down
lightly in the settlement of the war, but to
resume tree, unregulated trade intercourse
with him after the war-to open again our
ports and markets to the Germans, free of
tariff, toll or tax so that they may again
"blackleg" our traders and drive both labor
and capital out of this country--well, it is
time to ask the reason why, and to consider
what grave injustice we should thereby be
doing to our own people, including many of
the men now lighting for us. To fair rival
an honest foe and clean hghter-generosity
by all means But the German character is
such that it would certainly mistake gener-
osty for weakness.
That German devastation of factory towns
IN France, Belgium and Poland has been DELHI
eratey done to destroy rivals and create mar
ket is clear. Similarly neutral shipping has
been destroyed that whatever is left Of the Ger
man merchant fleet will have better employment
when peace comes. These things argue strongly
against taking the Hun into league of nations
where no restriction is placed on commerce.
In time the German nation NAV become III
to be so dealt with, but free trade with that
country after the war is out OF the question for
America
