From present indications, no relief from
existing rates of taxation will be attempted
1t this session of Congress. The most that
.an be expected VIII be some scheme OF
shifting war taxes by which those on excess

frantic demand made by the Republican ma
iority upon the President to convene Con-

sohfe relief from the burden Of these taxes
