TAX TO GO IN WAR BILL Two Per Cent Levy Tenta tively Agreed on by Sen ate Committee MANY CHANGES MADE WASHINGTON. June 4. The war revenue bill, hacked to pieces and put together again In a manner little resembling the form In which it passed the House several weeks ago, will be tuken up by the Benate before tho end of the week. Tho Senate Finance Committee Is giving tho bill a final retouching today and expects to lay It before tho Senate Wed nesday or Thursday. Today the committee tentatively agreed to Impose a 2 per rent tax on all advertising In newspapers and periodicals. f reshaped by the Finance Committee the bill is shorn of some of the features llkel) to prove exatlous tn th tiiiimnm cotuuiner. Against the Administration's wishes, provisions calculated to raise more limn $300,000,000 annually have been stricken out Some of this will be taken from the poor man's share, but most of It will come out of the rich mans burden. When the bill gets Into the Senate, ef forts will be madn to transfer more of the poor man's load to, the rich man's shoulders' The bill will be recommended to tho Sen ate by a irtually unanimous vote of the Finance Commlttep. Many of tho llepub llcon members are opposed to tho principle of direct taxation npplled In the bill, but, appreciating the Immediate need of funds, they are going to burv their differences of opinion temporarily and give their Hupport wholeheartedly to the measure. SENATE COMMITTEE'S WOKK Here arc some of the ways In which tlm Finance Committee has redrufted the bill: Beginning with the Income tax, tho com mittee cut out the Lenroot amendment placing an additional surtax on big In comes, calculated to yield $00,000,000 an nually, and the retroactive tax on 191B In comes, estimated to yield $108,000,000 year ly. By changing the basis of the excess profits tax, the committee has boosted the estimated revenue from this source from $200,000,000 to $350,000,000 annually, in ad dltlon to the revenues from excess profits under the existing law. No change has been mado In tho House taxes on liquor, and although tho commltteo has cut down the levy on tobacco, no ma terial reduction In the revpnno fmm ihi source Is expected. The committee has left the 3 per cent freight tax, certain to bo passed on to tho ultimate consumer, untouched, but It has reduced thi- 10 per cent tax on passenger .u. iu u per rem. mereiiy taking an an nual Increased load of $35,000,000 from the Irni'.lln- ....l.ll.. n- ..... .....,,,,, ,uunr. me nuraensome 5 per I .7. ee''iric ngnt, gas and tele phone bills, calculate, to produce $30,000, 000 annually, has been cut from the bill but the 5-cent tux on nil long-dlstanco or telegraph messages over 16 cents has been left In. The committee has been slightly more lenient with simple pleasures, cutting out the tax on chewing gum and movies Stamp taxes of various kinds nre to be substituted ror the manufacturers' tax on such things as candy, sporting goods, perfumes, cos metics, talking machines and records, and proprietary medicines, while automobile owners will be required to pay taxes rung Ing from $7.50 to $20 annually. TAUIFF BOOST CL'T Ol'T The horizontal Increase of 10 per rent In tariff rates has been knocked out. but the plain citizen Is going to pay his share In this connection by an excise tax of half u cent n pound on sugar, two cents on coffee and live cents on tea, which Is expected to produce $80,000,000 annually. The committee has cut tho proposed In created Inheritance tax. expected to raise $30.00,00() annually. An effort probab y will be made In the Senate to restore this tax along with the Lenroot Iey on big Incomes. 13,039 IN N. G. P. Latest Figures Show C35 Officers and 12,504 Men in Service HARRIsnimc.
