NIT quick mobilization of more than
100000 fighting men have been pre-
pared by the general staff. An outline

TAX LEGISLATION
PUT UNDER way
Bitter Fight Over important Pro-
visions Reported by Finance
Committee Indicated.
PROPOSE ALTERATIONS
Senator. Simmons of North Carolina
Gives Notice That Sweeping and
Radical Amendments Will Be
Offered BY Democrats.

Washington-Tax revisit iegisla-
ton was put under way in The Senate
with indications of a bitter fight to
come over the more important provi-
sions of the measure reported by the
finance committee.
Notice was given by Senator Sim
mons of North Carolina, ranking
minority member of the committee
that sweeping and radical amend
ments" will be offered by the Demo
Gratis. He added that if the sponsor for
the manufacturers sales tax would &C.
cept those amendments, serious con-
sideration would be given to such a
sales tax as part of the Democratic
scheme provided such levy should
prove necessary to raise the needed
revenue.
Surtax Alterations Proposed.
Objections to specific sections Of
the bill came from the Republican, as
well as the Democratic side of the
chamber. Senator LenroOt Of Wis
consin, a Republican member of the
agricultural "bloc," proposed amend
ments to the income surtax provision
under which existing rates would be
continued up to so per cent on in
comes exceeding 100000 v it'll an al
ternate proposal of so per cent levy
on incomes OF from 500. 900 to $780,
900, and a 60 FER cent rate on those
above 100000.
BY, taking the bill up under an
agreement to accept uncontested COM
mittee amendments to the original
House measure, the Senate made con-
siderable progress on proposed
changes to some of the administrative
features. None of the levy provisions
was passed on, however, objection be-
ing mades in each case.
In Offering objections to some
phases of the bill, Senator Simmons
said it was his judgment that in en-
acting peace-time tax laws it would
be better for the Senate Ito strike out
boldly on new lines instead of tinker
ing with or trying to repair machine
that was created to meet other cir
cumstances and conditions" He de-
clared he will vote against the bill in
it's present form, describing it as "the
most horrible and unjust proposition
of taxation that has ever been present
ed in this chamber"
The amendments to be offered by
the Democrats, Senator Simmons con-
tinued, will be designed to produce
something like uniformity of taxation
between the different classes and
groups of taxpayers and will remedy
some of the class determinations
which reek throughout the bill"
He added that "the favoritism which
this bill displays toward corporations
and against partnerships and indivi.
duals is so great that most of the
partnerships will dissolve to incorpo-
rate and every individual in the coun.
try who can, if possible, would like to
CONVEX his operations into corporate
FORM"

to the Women's hospital.
Inn Looted and Burned.
One man was shot and killed and a
woman wounded in rioting in the
Newtonards road district in Eats Bel

One bomb was thrown in the Mile

that has been concerned in the riot

two of them seriously.
One version of the earlier bombing
in East Belfast is that a Unionist

to set it on fire, and that while they
were carrying out the operation they
were made the target for republican

London-Several members of the
British cabinet who are said to have
studied Premier Lloyd Georges reply
to the latest communication of canon
De Valera, have not yet conveyed their
views to the premier concerning the
situation, and it is regarded likely the
premier's note will not be ready for
dispatch to Dublin before Tuesday or
Wednesday.
No intimation has been vouchsafed
as to the probable terms of the note
but opinion both in England and Ire

be cOuched so as to accommodate the
position Of the Sim Fem leaders and

Meanwhile, disturbing reports of
new provocative acts, alleged to have
been made by Black and Tans, in
Cork and elsewhere, are causing ap-
prehension among those hopeful of a
settlement of the Irish situation.

Counting of the strike vote will not
be completed for five or six days. The
form of ballot used carries a vote
"for or against a strike unless the

Well, well, we'll! Press dispatches

Quite an achievement, indeed!
Keep up your stride, MI. PRESIDENT,

Golf affords you relaxation, to which

thing resembling normal conditions
would afford the people vast relief
to which they are entitled.
Go to it and stay with it.
About the LATEST person we ever
heard of is the fellow who died from
indigestion rather than go to the trouble
Of chewing the food he ate.
Foolish people take things as they
come, but the wise man takes only the
things to which he is entitled.
If you don't like your neighbor and
want him to move, begin telling your
troubles to him each day. He III soon
get enough.
We have a profound respect for the
wisdom and sagacity Of certain citi-
zen Of this town. He frankly admits
that he don't know it all.

Wise people seldom allow themselves

UNTAX1NG THE RICH; OVERTAX-
! ING THE POOR

~sfWhen the tax bill passed the House
fifty Republicans voted with the Dem
ocrats to recommit the bill for revi-
sion. Here is the reason as given by
Representative Schall (Rep., Minn.):
3&.'The test should be, ability to bear
the burden. The man who is : able
should pay. The man who has profted
most should hand over in proportion.
Spending should not be the basis for
tax. Earnings are the only just basis.
The present tax bill is fashioned to
lay the heaviest burden on the backs
ofthose least able to bear it. Think
of the number Of new millionaires,
those who stayed at home and profit
eered. Think Of the profts-5O, 100,
yea, even 1000 per cent-made at the
cost Of our necessity, at the price of
our boys blood and agony, and now,
forsooth, the surtax, the excess-profts
tax, must be cut down. .'r
~ shall vote to recommit the bill,
with instructions to report it back,
minus the repeal Of surtaxes.
'tThe tax should be made enforce
able. A definite and certain per cent
should be laid upon income and excess
profits. -. = Abolish nontaxable Sc
.curities. Force the money out Of it's
hiding place. Place the burden Of tax
where it belongs. This is what should
have been done.
-. @"1.The test of the iniquity of this bill
IS that the tax on the pay envelope is
raised from 26 per cent to over SO per
cent, while the srrtax is reduced from
65 per cent to 80 per cent, and the ex-
cess-pro6ts tax is abolished altogether.
The principle of progressive tax was
right, produced goodly revenue, even
with the tax lodging. Why yield to
political expediency and abolish it, I
cannot see. wherein any such action
isdefensible. One more argument has
been handed to the Democrats on a sill
Z yer platter. The level of constructive
stateamanship is very low when st
passes out bill like this for the relief
of the country. " .s.. Is s.+ ..@55@ ST
