Washington, Aug. 18.-The dis

United States at least 81. 900 900. ac-
cording TO conservative unofficial es-
Inmates here today.
The 100000 appropriation re-
quested by Under Secretary of State
Fletcher is regarded as merely a
start on the total bill which the Unit
ed States will be required 10 foot

home.
But even should the expense run
far over the $1,000, 900 rough esti-

Harding, justices of the supreme
court and all federal court judges
are completely exempted from in
come taxation by the new tax bill. in
troduced in the Houes Monday by
Chairman Fordney. of the ways and
means committee.
This was one of the new prOvi-
sions revealed when the complete
text of the bill was obtained. Ii is
partly in accordance with the sn-
preme court decision that the salar-
les OF the executive and the federal
judiciary cannot be diminished dur
ing their terms in office by the pay
ment OF income taxes. Other chang
es heretofore not made public were:
Increase of nonbeyerage distilled
spirits tax from s2.20 to s6.40 gal
lon, if the whisky, alcohol or other
products is used for beverages pur-
poses. This means Increased taxes
for the makers of the patent meds-
cines containing alcohol. and heay-
Ter taxes on bootleggers when the
latter are caught.
All allotments received by eX-serv-
ice men from the veterans bureau
exempt.
An exception important TO the
business world is that in case of net
loss is sustained in any year the
amount of the loss may be deducted
from the taxable earnings of the
following two succeeding years. This
is TO give some relief to those bust
nesses which have suffered as the
result of the price slump.

deduct all their travelling expenses

these are now taxable
