Discuss War Participation
Opposition was aimed at the Sec
tion concerning war participation of
persons who object on grounds of
conscience.
The Rev. D. D. Burrell of Will
Transport, Pa, moved to strike out
the section concerning participation
in war because cit is contrary to

balancing program, presented
in his annual budget message,
was accompanied by a warn
ing that drastic action was
needed to avert disaster in
federal finance.
The three main points of his pro-
posals:
/. A "a per cent manufacturers
excise tax, estimated to yield reve-
nue. of $685., 100000.
2. Governmental economies de-
signed to save $3.50, 900, 900.
8. Continuation of the federal
gasoline tax, estimated to provide
revenue of $137, 000, 900.
Proposal Beaten Before
The Presidents excise tax pro-
poSal is similar to that scuttled in
a house mutiny when offered last
winter by Democratic leaders. 1t is
not termed a sales tax, the admin
istration asserting that it would be
levied at n point only, with the
manufacturer.
The broad excise taxes proposed
would supplant some of the "nui-
sance" taxes in last years emer-
gency revenue act.
Governmental economies would be
effected by:
l. Government salary reductions,
which, combined with the present
furlough system, will average about
1913 per cent to those earning above
$1,000. This was estimated to bring
a saving of $55, 900 1000.
2. Elimination OF public works.
3. Savings of $50 1886, 227 in APP
preparations for war veterans.
4. Reduction of $40, 5000 in
rivers and harbors appropriations.
5. Cessation of highway con-
struction. a saving of $4,000, 600.
6. General departmental savings,
the largest being IN the agriculture
department.
7. Resistance to new appropria-
lions.
No Postal Rate Change
There were no suggestions for re-
vision of income or corporation taxes.
There was no recommendation for
changing the increased postal rates,
now in effect.

for prohibition enforcement we're
