DEBATE STARTS TODAY
SENATOR SIMMONS sAYs coUN- TRY HAS RIGHT TO KNOW HOW SOON AND IN WHAT MEASURE BURDEN OF WAR TAXES GAN
 BE REDUCED WITH PRUDENCE
CBy Revlew Leased yvirel

WASHINGTON, Dec 9.-Effects of the nations transition from a war to a peace basis and of prohibition leg islation on the present future prob lens of taxation are outlined in the senate finance committees report on the revised war revenue bill filed to- day by Chairman Simmons The re- port explains the steps taken to re wise the house bill so as to raise by taxation next year $5,97S .466.000 in stead of $7,500 ,009, 900, as planned by the house before the signing Of the armistice and the enactment of pro hibition legislation. Proposed taxes in 1920 of $4,000, ,O0O, the reason for fixing them at this time and the manner in which they will be raised also are explained
 Some Distinct Changes.
 The most distinct changes made by the senate in the house draft of the bill are noted by the committees re- port. as follows:
 Elimination of the per cent corporation tax on undistributed corporate earnings, fixing a 20 per cent maximum on bona fide sales Of mines and oil and gas wells; elimi nation of the tax on new state and municipal bonds, substitution of a single war excess profits tax for the alternative plan: exclusion of indi- viduals and partnerships from war excess profits taxation aI,d reduction of the taxes on beverages and to- bacco."
 Debate Stars Today
 Senate debate on the measure will begin tomorrow with a statement by Senator Simmons. A dissenting re- port on the plan to fix 1920 taxes in the pending bill will be filed by Sen atOr Penrose of Pennsylvania for the republicans of the finance commit tee. Separate views also will be pre- sented by Senators Shoot of Utah and Lafollette of Wisconsin, republicans.
 A considerable part of Senator Sim mons report is devoted to the plan for reducing taxes in 1920 to $4,OOO, 100000.
 The country has a right to know how soon and in what degree the bur den of war taxes can prudently be re- duced, the report says. During this period of reconstruction, business, particularly new business, is entitled to go forward without the burden of an so per cent tax on war profits. In time of peace the existence of an so per cent profits tax would be an absolute evil, for the perpetuation or continuance of which no sufficient reason has or could be given"
 Estimate for 1920.
 For 1920, the report estimates. a re- duction of S1.4OO. 100000 by eliminat- ing the 80 per cent war tax, reduction of the excess profits rates and reduc- tion from F to 8 per cent in the nor maj rate on individual incomes and other corporation taxes. A further reductten of about S50O.OOO,0 900. it was estimated, will occur from miscel- laneous sources and shrinkage in bev- craze revenues.

Seven and one-half million dollars was the cost to Germany of the propa- ganda campaign in the United States, Mir. Belaski said, the sum coming from the total fund of s27, ,S5O,OOO held by the embassy in Washington.

 Reads Fuehr's Report
 In his testimony today, Mir. Bielasd read from a report made to Berlin by Dr. Karl F. Feuhr, counsellor of the German embassy, on propaganda. This praised the attitude of William R. Hearst towards Germany and included on list of neutral papers the New York Evening Man, the Milwaukee Free Press, the Chicago Tribune, the Washington Post and the Hearst or gans. Feuhr said that of these the Hearst papers were the most valuable because of their large circulation and the fact that they were printed in so many different cities.
 Says Hearst Effective
 "The Hearst papers are not to be classified as blind champions of Ger many" Feuhr's report said Many of the articles are not favorable to us. But for that reason they are much more effective than they could possi- bly, be if prOnouncedly pro-German." !"
 MT. Bielash told the committee that of all the newspapers published in the United States, the Hearst organs were the most pronounced in favor of Germany"
 There is no other newspaperman," !" said Bielaski, whose attitude was so friendly to Germany.
 If this insuiry were limited to an investigation of paid propagandists We could not mention Mir. Hearst. There is no evidence he received profits
