WAR TAX BILL READY
Measure Submitted to Congress
for Final Action.
Raises Six Billions In 1919, War Ex.
cess Profits and Incomes Bearing
Bulk Of Burden.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE confer
ence agreement on the long delayed
war revenue bill has been submitted
to congress. The American people are
presented with their prospective fed
eral tax budget for 1919 and ensuing
years-something over $6,O0O,O0O, 900
this year and $4,0OO,000,0O0 TIE year
after, subject to the revision of future
rates expected to be undertaken by the
next congress.
The conference report, presented to
the house by majority leader, Claude
Kitchin, is now regarded as assured
of adoption by both house and senate
and of approval by the president. It
thus provides the future American tax
yield, which now is about $4,S70, O00, 900
besides this years tax levy of about
| $4,000, 600, 900; further treasury needs
to be raised by bonds and other means,
are estimated by the treasury at about
$4,000, 100000.
Senate View Generally Prevails.
Except for slightly increased war ex-
cess profits rates for 1919 and corpora
lions income tax rates for 1920. vir-
tually all the rates as revised in the
bill passed by the senate are approved
by the conferees and remain in the
final conference draft. Like the orig
inal house bill and the senate's revi-
! sion, the bulk of the taxes are levied

miIitarism To Rule

London, Jan. 25.-Lord French is
today the absolute ruler of Ireland,
which practically has been turned in
to Crown colony, says the Dublin
correspondent of the Daily News, and
continues:
Two very serious changes affecting
Nationalist Ireland are said to be in
contemplation, If they have not been
actually settled upon. They are the
abolition of the honorary magistracy
with the placing of the entire admins
tration of summary Justice in the hands
of salaried magistrates, and the en-
forcement Of the oath Of loyalty upon
all persons receiving emoluments
from Government funds.
At present the oath of loyalty is
demanded only from civil servants
other than post Office servants, but the
enforcement of the new proposal
would bring in such men as univer-
sity professors.
This course, If it is attempted, will
be most bitterly resented Viceroy
French, however, is credited with ia
voring it,, his view being that almost
anything can be tolerated except dis
loyalty to the Crown.
No interference need be expected

to the Peace Conference, Lloyd George
washed his hands of Ireland and gave
