WILL REPORT TODAY
Measure, as 1t Goes to Full
Committee, Includes
$3.50 Plan.

Senator Warren, of Wyoming,
chairman of the Senate Appropria-
tions Committee, predicted last
night that the amended District ap-
preparation bill, which will be re-
ported to the full committee this
morning. would have plain sailing"
in the Senate. and that when it
again reached the House much of
the former opposition to the half
and-half plan, and eagerness to in
crease the District tax rate would
have disappeared.
The subcommittee of appropria-
tions-of which Senator Curtis, of
Kansas, is chairman-has been con-
sidering the bill for several weeks,
and has reincluded in the bill the
half -and-ha plan. which was elm
mated in the House. and has cut
out the proposed tax increase from
1h to 2k per cent. Another and
more moderate tax increase will
probably be proposed on the floor
of the House or Senate.
THE bill in it's present form"
he satisfactory to the people of
the District. and / am confident
will meet no serious opposition in
the Senate. In the House they are
having some second thoughts on
the tax increase, and the proposal
to do away with the half-and- half
plan, and / am sure when the bill
gets to them again much of the
former opposition to these features
will be found to have evaporated."

Democrats of the House will stand
virtually as a unit in favor of the

declares he will be able to line up
more than enough Republican votes
to insure its adoption over the sales
tax idea.
Both Mr.. johnson and Mr.. Rainey

estimates to Mr.. Rainey showing
that $1,000 men made more than
$4,000, 100000 in addition to their
normal income during the war. Fig
ures also have been obtained from
the Internal Revenue Department
which show that $1,000 new million
aires were created.
Mr.. Rainey proposes to take half
of the war profits above the nor
NAL income of the millionaire class
The advocates of the war profits
tax are not opposing bonuses Their
opposition to the measure as tenta-
lively agreed upon is directed at the
sales tax method of raising the
revenue.
