Sen. Wheeler Claims 1t Only
Way to Escape From
State Socialism
international News Service

A new and direct move toward
Federal control of the monopoly
evil was started in the Senate
today when Senator Wheeler
Cd of Montana introduced a
bill calling for a graduated tax
on business corporations earning
in excess of 100000 yearly.
The bill would impose a tax
scale of 2 per cent on net capital
return between 100000 and
$3,5OO,0OO; 4 per cent on earn.
ings between $3,500,0O0 and a..
100000, and upward to IS per
cent tax upon returns above
$50, 900, 900.
Would Pay 100000
Thus, a corporation earning
$10,O00,00 yearly would have to
pay a tax of 100000. No tax
would be imposed upon earnings
below 100000. Wheeler said
he wanted to get the big fel.
lows" not tie the smaller con-
Germs down.
Certain classes of corporations
which, it was explained must of
necessity be large to operate eff.
GENTLY, would be exempted. These
included telephone and telegraph
companies, railroads, shipping,
banks and insurance companies.
Cooperative associations, char.
liable organizations. and corpora.
tionS organized under Federal law
engaged solely in export trade
would also be exempted. He said:
II believe this to be a more
effective, if cruder method Of
dealing with the age-Old problem
of the trusts than the various
attempts directly to prohibit
monopoly and unfair cOmpeti-
tive practices which have largely
failed in the past.
DRASTIC BUT JUSTIFIED
He conceded his proposed legis-
lation was drastic but justified it
upon the thesis that increasing
concentration of wealth is forcing
State socialism upon the nation,
adding:
''If it be true that large Cor
pOratiOnS are relatively more ef-
ficient than small corporations,
this bill constitutes a legitimate
revenue measure to force these
corporations to pass on to the
public the benefits accruing
from the exercise of the priv
lege of being big.
II believe, moreover, purely
from an economic point of view,
that a reduction in size of bust
ness units is the only practical
alternative, compatible with
American traditions of individ-
ual liberty and business Oppor.
tunity, to eventual State social
ism.
I'm no other way can we
solve the difficulties in which
we find ourselves under a Sys-
tenn which may even now be
characterized as private social

ARMY INCREASE
Of 46,250 MEN
BEFORE HOUSE
Appropriations Group Asks
President Be Granted
Expansion Power

A proposal authorizing the
President to increase the enlisted
strength of the Army to 10000
men was contained in the $378,-
500, 488 War Department appropri-
atoms bill submitted to the House
today by the Appropriations Com
mittee. The bill covers the 1896
fiscal year, starting July l.
Although failing to provide a
Spicific fund for such increases,
the measure authorizes the Presi-
dent to recruit all or any part
of the 46,25O additional men advo-
Gated for the Regular Army as
we'll as 5000 additional men for
the National Guard. The COM
mittee reported:
'It seems particularly fitting
at this time to allow the PreSi-
dent to choose between added
enlisted strength and added
expense"
CHANGES ARE MADE
The present enlisted strength Of
the Regular Army is fixed at an
average of 1880 men.
The total appropriations recon-
mended represent an increase of
$49,23O,715 over last years allot-
ment but $542,795 under the
Presidents budget estimate.
Cognizant of the pressure on
Congress for additional national
defense measures, the committee
made numerous alterations in the
budget estimates. Certain items
were reduced 10 make additional
funds available for others.
This will enable purchase of SAT
airplanes for the regular Army
and Is for the organized reserves.
The budget estimate permitted
purchase of only $50 for the regu-
lar Army and 10 for the reserves.
Guard Increase
The committees alterations also
provide for AZ days encampment
of the ROTC; IA days training
for 10000 instead of $4,000 reserve
officers: resumption of the ma
tional rifle matches and larger ex-
penses for upkeep of military posts
than possible under the budget
proposal
The committee increased the
Presidents estimate for the Ma
tional Guard by $2,60O.OOO to a
total of $33 100000 to provide ad-
ditional purchases of arms, uni
forms, equipments, armory drill
pay and other compensationS.
Exclusive of approximately
100000 for restoration of the
remaining per cent pay, the
budget increased the 1885 mill
tary appropriation by $4,000, 900.
This money is to be used for
betterment of the National
Guard, the organized reserves
and the Regular Army establish
ment.
Among the non-militay activi-
ties for which the committee
recommended appropriations are
rivers and harbors work, $4,000
900; flood control on Mississippi
River, $l5,000,O0O; Sacramento
River, $4,000, and the Panama
Canal, $8,70O,OOO.
