REVENUE BILL
PASSES HOUSE
Without a Dissenting Voice.
Estimated Will Raise Over
Eight Billion Dollars
NcxxyCp To GERMANY
ANSWER TO GERMANY

Washington, Sept. 21-The House
late yesterday passed the War Rev
enue bill, designed to raise by taxa
ton approximately $S,1S2, 100000
the twenty-four or more billions
needed by the nation for the current
year. The huge measure-the larg-
est Of its kind in the history OF any
nation-ncw goes to the Senate.
Passage of the bill was unanl-
imous. A formal roll-call, demand
ed by Majority Leader Kitchin, re-
corded $50 yeas and no nays,
which announced by Speaker Clark
was greeted by a roar Of cheers and
applause.
All possible speed in the bills
course through the Senate is assur-
ed, according to leaders, the Senate
finance committee having concluded
formal hearings.
Desire for the bills enactment be-
fore the November elections has
been expressed by leaders OF both
houses but this is considered doubt
full.
Consideration of the mesure by
the House yeste,G:y prior to the
votes was brief. Al amendment bJ
the House Ways a..d Means Commit
tee which drafted lie bill extending
the depletion allowances to gas ana
oil wells and mines to include tim
Der and other natural deposits" was
adopted.
Representative Moore, of Pennsyl-
vania, Republican, renewed his pro-
posal for a committee, to supervise
was expenditures hut it was dispos-
ed of on point OF order as was an
other amendment offered by Mr..
Moore for a House committee to IN
vestigate means of preventing waste
full expenditures.
Representative Good, of Iowa, Re
publican, made vigorous but futile
fight for his amendment to provide
$4,000 exemption for inncome taxes
for persons serving in the military
establishment overseas, instead OF
limiting the exemption as proposed
in the bill to government salaries.
A substitute amendment by Repre-
sentative Austin of Tennessee, Re-
publican to exempt all privates from
income taxation also was rejected.
An amendment in the interest OF
wine producers was denied consida-
tion because of objections by Repre-
sentative Stafford, of wisconsin,
Republican. 1t provided that wine
growers could extract alcohol from
wine and sell non-alcoholic beverag
es.
Just before the final vote Repre-
sentative Longworth, of Ohio Re
publican, characterized the bill as a
mighty good job" and "the best an
swer the American Congress can
give to the whining peace proposal
from Austria.
As passed over to the Senate, the
principal revenue producing cources
of the measure-income war excess
profits, liquors, tobacco and luxuries
were approved by the House sub
stantially as drafted unanimously by
the Ways and Means Committee af-
ter three months labor. Roughly,
the total tax levy doubles present
returns from internal revenue under
existing laws.
In the Senate mounting war ex.
penses and revenue reduction by pro-
hibition are factors entering into re-
vision, expected to be extensive.
Much Senate sentiment exists for re-
duction of the bills aggregate levy
while Secretary McAdoo already has
disapperoved any substantial in
crease.

The wooden ship plan is a fail
ure, according to Admiral Bowles
of the Shipping Board. "The
scale of wooden ship construction
outlined in the Emergency Fleet
Corporations program is entirely
beyond the available supply of
material in the country" he de-
clared before the Senate investi-
cation committee. 'The birds
are still nesting in the trees from
which ship timber is to come" "
insisted General GoethaIs, while
he was head of the Emergency
Fleet Corporation, a statement
which Secretary McAdoo's pro-
tege, Mr.. Denman, denied. Goe-
thals was right, Denman was
| wrong, both had to resign, and
the former has been vinGlcated.

From Washington comes the
announcement that 3, 900, 900 per-
sons among the foreign popul2-
tiOn of this country are prepared
to emigrate to their homes as
soon as peace is declared. A va
riety Of reasons are given why
they will leave the United States,
but the one reason why they will
stav-the controlling reason-is
not mentioned, and that is the
wages they receive in American
, industries. If, however, this
country is left a prey to foreign
competitors because the Demo
Gratis control our postwar tariff
policy, there will be an exodus OF
alien labor. It had begun in 1914
There will likewise be an exodus
of American laborers-from the

ss - Some people seem to think that
from one viewpoint, it is perhaps
fortunate that the Democrats won
the last national election. II
Hughes had been elected, either
with or without a Republican
Congress, and we had later en-
tered the war, as we would as a
result of the policies Wilson hac
pursued, the new president would
have been accused by the Demo
Gratis, and by many others, of be-
ing the cause of oul getting into
the conflict. Wilson and his
friends would have declared that
he kept US out of war and that
Hughes plunged usin. The Dem.
ocrats in Congress would have
refused that loyal supp ort of the
government which Republicans
have freely granted. They would
have found their excuse in the
plea that it was not their war

lican administration would have

That was ten years ago, and Howard
says the year he spent at the military
academy was the best year of his life.
"Now," said Uncle Dan, with great
earnestness, "when such training does
so much good, makes better citizens and
at the same time fits man to defend
his country, why should not Uncle Sam
furnish this training at the govern
ment's expense? The government has
the right to call anyone to serve IN

Gle Sam has splendid new training

reason why the Chamberlain bill for
compulsory military training should be
passed at once, so that every boy ply

not leave it for his parents to pay for.
On account of the expense, not one boy
in so can take the training now. am
glad that you can do so. These big
crops and big prices, I find, make the
farmers rather 'cocky,' and that the
best is demanded by them"
Billie was up with the lark the next
morning, more excited and enthusiastic
than ever. He had a plan. He knew
| Jimmie owned a colt worth 500; that
he would make almost another 500 on
his potatoes If they turned out well,
and that he had from his previous
savings, bought a $1O0 Liberty bond.
Billie's plan was to have Jimmie cash
In and go with him. He was disap-
pointed to find that Jimmie would still
lack about $500 of having enough to
see him through. His lip quivering, he
said: "Pm mighty sorry to leave Jim,
mie."
Uncle Dan was silent a moment OF
two, then he, asked Billie to go dowr
to the orchard and get him some ap
pies to eat on the train. While he was
gone, it was arranged that Uncle Dar
and Mr.. and Mrs. Graham would ad
vance the money necessary so that
Jimmie could go. When Billie returned
he was told about it. He ran to the
phone and called Jimmie, saying
"Come on over. run just as fast as yor
