DISCUSSION ABOUT
BOLSHEV|K ACTIVITY
Thomas Says We Must Take
Action If We Don't Want
Sample Russian Anarchy.

Washington, Feb. 6.-Discussion of
bolshevik activities was renewed in the
senate today when Senator Thomas,
Colorado, read a telegram from Seat
tie attorney, assailing strikes there.
Thomas declared I" the time is here
when we must abandon our policy of
trusting to luck and hoping with an
optimism that will bring us to the
preeipice that things will right them
selves.
GIVE must decide whether America
is to be for Americans and instead of
striving for party advantage we must
see to- the strict enforcement cf the
laws and the constitution.
Thomas declared the Seattle strike
appears to be heading toward Russian
bolshevism.
lie said that if the state wide strike
threatened in Washington in sympathy
with Seattle workmen becomes fact
and strikers attempt to exercise state
governmental functions, as some OF
those in Seattle have exercised munic-
Gpal functions, we "shall have a full
fledged experiment in Russian bolshev

Ways And Means Committee
Couldn'. /. See Why He Want
ed So Much Money.

DR.. A. C. Seely, health officer for
the State Board of Health, played in
hard luck last evening with the jOint
ways and means committee which is
trying to please everybody in appro-
priating funds and at the same time
get under the six per cent appropria-
tion law.
Two years ago the State Board Of
Health was given 1000 for its work.
DR.. Seely came before the committee
last evening asking for $685. After
the committee discussed his proposed
plans, it voted to hive him $24 900,
figuring there would be no more need
of money in that work for the coming
two years than for the past two.
DR.. Ssely had planned to divide the
state into five districts and employ
five doctors at $1,000 a year each who
should 60 about investigating. His
plans also included several specialists
who were to draw good salaries.
Mrs. Alexander Thompson, who is on
the committee, attempted to get the
doctor to 90 more into details as to
his proposed plans but could get no
satisfactory answer She said: "The
state health department comes here
with great comprehensive plan re
quiring the expenditure Of almost four
times the amount il received two years
ago. Yet DR.. Seely did not know how
to answer questions. nor give US any
ida of how he was going to handle
ell this money. If such radical changes
are contemplated, why cannot he tell

VOTING AT ELECTIONS
Present Law Making Property
REQUISITE To Vote On School
Taxes Still Stands.

The house believes it is dangerous
business to LET the bars down for pro.
miscuous voting at school meetings or
elections where tax is to be levied,
1nd the bill proposed by Richards of
Portland letting down all sorts Of bars
was killed easily yesterday afternoon
when the boys from the country were
heard from.
Bean didn't think it right to permit
those who have no personal or real prop
erty in a school district to vote a tax
upon the district. Jones of Newport
said out his way the lumber companies
own lot Of land and the man with
five or six children with no property
could have nothing to say about schools.
Gallagher suggested that If lumber
company wanted to carry vote in its
interests, it could import few hundred
Idagos. Woodson Of Heppner, one oe
the heavy weights Of the house, said ii
the bill passed, every weary Willie that
had lived in Portland 80 days would
have the right to vote on levying school
taxes.
There is just suspicion that when
Richards of Portland introduces a
school bill he has some ak to grind and
he generally meets with defeat. The
Marion county delegation voted solid
against the bill and it failed to pass.
As the law now stands, there is 0, prop
erty qualification for voters at school
meetings or elections and also for vot-
ing for school directors.
Mr.. Graham of Eugene was success
full in having his legislative service
and reference bureau bill pass the house
1t provides that five professors from
the University Of Oregon be appointed
to conduct research work into questions
of Importance and give their informa-
tion to prospective law makers. AS i.
doesn't cost anybody anything to have
the bureau appointed, the bill had easy
sailing.
A bill fathered by Mr.. Childs Of
Brownsville passed the house with no
opposition. II provides that teachers
may conduct eighth grade examinations.
The present law puts the examinations
up to director or anyone he appoints.
The state highway commission viii be
permitted to employ counsel and to buy
anything it needs in the way Of sup
plies and equipment. The bill was in
troduced by Dennis and is supposed tt
be satisfactory to the Interests. =

War and excess profits tax:
Provision is made for both war and
excess profits taxes in the fiscal year,
but after that he war profits taxes

cases where war contracts run over in

The excess profits tax for 19l8-1919

no excess profits. For 1919l920 and
thereafter the rates ere 20 per cent
of profits up to 20 per cent and 40
per cent Of all profits over 20 per cent.
The war profits tax for this fiscal
year is the difference between 80 per
cent of the net income after deducting
the war profits credit and the amount
of excess profits tax figures under the
preceding provision. The war profits
provision, one Of the most involved in
the bill, reads as follows:
! tThc sum, if any, by which so per
cent of the amount Of the net income
in excess in war profits credit, exceeds
the amount of the tax computed under
the first and second brackets (the ex-
cess profits tax provision).

CONSTITUTION FOR
LEAGUE Is NEARING
COMPLETION TODAY
Initial Draft May Be Present
ed To General Congress
This Week.
By Fred S. Ferguson

Omitted Press staff c0rrGSp0ndent)
Paris, Feb. g.. Prospects for compile
tion of the initial draft of the lesgue
of nations constitution in time to pro-
sent it to the general peace congress
this week, were understood to be bright
er today.
AS the special committee having the
work in charge considers the various
problems contained in the % articles of
the tentative program, the conferees are
said to be rapidly approaching an agree
ment, the speed with which the details
are handled is increasing as the sessions
continue. The two questions present
ing tue greatest difficulty of solution
ere:
Means by which the league will en-
force its decisions.
Apportionment of representation on
the administrative council of the
league.
Boycott Most Effective
The majority of the conferees are be-
licved to be agreed that the most eff
fcctive weapon of the league will be an
economic boycott made possible through
q blockade enforced by an international
fleet to which naturally Great Britain
and the United States would be the
chief contributors. But some members
of the committee are said to hold out
for the substitution Of moral for physi-
cal forces. These members reclare that
the main object of the league really is
the promotion of understanding be-
tween nations that will render wars I'M
likely rather than forcible prevention
of wars after they have been caused by
political or enonomic jealousies. Those
who favor an international police force
agree. to this promise, yet hold that the
league must possess some weapon in
case any misunderstanding do arise.
The reported conflict over represent
alton arises from the fear Of small ma
tions that the big powers will domi-
nate the league. Efforts are now being
made to dispel this fear which is held
to be unfounded.

Newspapers Not Able y.
To Issue In Seattle

Seattle. Wash, Feb. 6.-With Seattle
in the grip of the first general strike
in Americas history, the city was left
this afternoon with only haphazard
means of lcsrning details Of its plight.
Of the three afternoon newspapers,
the Star alone got out an edition this
afternoon. With the news boys out in
sympathy with other strikers, there was
no means of circulating the papers.
Stereotypers had voted to 60 out, but
their international union refused to
sanction the vote. Acting as individ-
uals, they walked out in all newspa
pers except the Star, where, for some
time, it was uncertain whether they
would work.
Finally at p. m. they made plates,
but gave no assurance they would con-
tinue to do so.
The Union Record, the official organ
of the unions, got out one edition early
today.

By L. @. Martin

Washington, Feb. 6. = The biggest
tax bill in American history was sub
mitted to congress today for final .ap-
prOval.
When Representative Kitchin, chair
man of the house ways and means
committee, presented the conference
report on the war tax bill to the house
he announced it will gather from the
people $6,070,000,O00 in taxes for the
tiscal year ending July /, 1919 and
in succeeding years little less than
$4 200, ,0G0,0 900
While big incomes and swollen prof
its bear heavy taxes, the man of small
and moderate means has a heavy bur
den.
Senator Lodge, republican leader,
has publicly expressed the fear that it
fimperils business, +" which, he says, is
facing very difficult year.
Kitchin announced today he plans
to call the conference report up Sat
urday. He expects approval in one day.
The senate will probably take it up
next week if Kitchin gets it through
the house as quickly as he hopes. SEN
ate approval probably will take long
er.
The normal income tax for 1918 Ii 6
per cent on incomes up to $4,000. and IL
per cent on higher incomes. After 1878
the normal is 4 per cent on incomes up
to $1,000 and per cent on those oyCr
$4,000. The present normal is 4 per cent
In addition to raising about $6,000,-
100000 in taxes, the bill gives every
soldier, sailor and marine and all w0.
men nurses in the American forces a
bonus Of 500 upon discharge. This means
an appropriation of more than $500, 0,000,-
900.
Following are the chief provisions of
the bill:
Income tax on individuals.
Exemptions of $1,000 for a single per-
son and $4,000 for G, married one, with
5000 additional for each dependent un-
der the age of IS, remain as at present.
The income sur-tax rates begin at one
per cent on incomes of $4,000 to $4,000
sad run to s. per ccat on incomes over
s $l000,000.
Present surtax rates are lower on the
middle and higher incomes, the high
est rate in the present law being so
per cent on incomes of more than 81, !
600 600.
Partnerships and public service cor
poratiOns pay the tax as individuals.
not as corporations.
The corporation income tax for 1919
is IL per cent and thereafter 10 per
cent The present rate is per cent.
Special provision is made for corpor-
stions owning oil or gas wells or mines.
Because fthe hazards and the rapid
depletion special deduction for deple-
tion and improvements is allowed. 1t
