House Committee Strug-

600 Revenue Bill
FEAR EXPRESSED
FOR The RESULTS

WASHINGTON. July 20.-A 10 per
cent. minimum income tax for indl-
viduals and corporations In lieu OF the
present 4 per cent. for individuals and
per cent. for corporations was favor
ed at yesterdays executive session OF
the House Ways and Means Committee
which Is drafting the new war revenue
bill. No conclusion was reached, how
ever. Lowering OF the fixed amounts
exempted from taxation also was dis
cussed, but sentiment largely was In
opposition.
Members Of the committee expressed
fear that with present rates the s6000.-
100000 revenue planned from incomes
and excess profits could not be raised.
With this in mind, some members sug-
gested resort to consumption taxes, but
this was regarded as last expedient.
A slight tax on cotton also was sug-
gested
On the assumption that nationwide
prohibition legislation now pending
in Congress Will not be enacted this
year, there was renewed discussion OF
obtaining more revenue from beer and
other intoxicating liquors. II was sug-
gested that a direct tax on gross sales
in all transactions from manufacturer
TO consumer would yield s2OO0,0O0.000.
The committee Is carefully consider
ing and freely discussing all sections OF
the bill and IL may be several weeks
before any rates are fixed.

The question oil price is merely relative.
When the price is low, every thing that
enters into the farmers expense account
is low. When wheat figures touch = and
upwards, there are many offsetting costs
that reduce the profits, but, year in and
year out, Vermonters will find that it pays
to figure on a yield of wheat not only
from that of economics, as well.
The same thing applies to pork and beef

hibtive in war time, yet there is very lit

Where Lightning Struck Thrice.

1t seems as If there were no method
In its selection of objects to strike !;
but. of course, 1t must follow it's own
laws. even though we mortals may not
know what conductors are best suited
to it's swift course. The popular ex-
preston, Lightning never strikes twice
in the same place" does not hold wa
ter. The late President. Hill of Har.

neighbors were trying to put out the
flames 1t was struck twice again.
