casus is trading blood Tor OIL" said
the next witness, Senator Lee, DEM
ocrat, of Oklahoma
eff he wins the Caucasus, there
is little doubt that he will move
toward Persia and its oil fields.
This will mean that America must
supply all the oil for the fighting
forces of the United Nations.
I'VE must do nothing to discour-
age the production of oil and the
discovery of new fields at this time"
Senator George said he was con-
vinced that a fiat levy of per cent
without deductions, would bring in
more than the per cent rate which
the House bill would apply to income
remaining after exemptions had
been take for dependents.
Business men have complained to
the Senate committee that this pro-
posed levy, which would become
effective January l and would serve
as form of advanced collection of
income taxes, would put a heavy
burden of paper work on them.
Il think we will be compelled to
bring the withholding levy nearer
to the basis on which social security
taxes now are collected" Senator
George said, adding that fiat tax
on. the full amount of the income
seemed the best way of accomplish
ing this.
Deductions of l per cent now are
made from the regular paychecks
of millions of workers for social
security benefits, with a maximum
of $50 yearly being taken from each.
Senator George said he believed
the House-approved collection levy,
which would advance to 10 per cent
in 1914, would place 'insuperable
burdens" on employers who would
be forced to keep detailed records
of each employees status.
Closed Session Plenned.
Committee members arranged to
meet in a closed session to decide
finally whether they wished to go
further in Treasury proposal to
revise the law governing Federal
taxation of income in the so-called
community property States of Texas,
Louisiana, Arizona, New Mexico,
Idaho, Washington and California.
In those States, taxpayers now
are permitted to divide income be-

Red Army was delivering counter
