"If the committee's bill Ih adopted It will take only $1,060 000.000 of war profit-, or a little more than oni fourth of tho M'.IOO.OOO.OOO war profits tho Finance Commltteo acknowledges .ire av.iil able for taxation "It would bo a rcproich to our cl liga tion If we failed to prevent one cla" com paratively small, from becoming enormously rich out of this war, whllo tho much lirgT class was Impoverished. " Ibelieve tint this bill should bo pn amended that the billion- of dollars of 3Ur. plus accumulated by the Breat corporations should not be allowed to e-enpe taxation, nor be reckoned as p-xrt of tho capital, n they would be under tho latest scheme of the committee for the purpose of Increasing theamount exempt from taxation "Since returns corporations make are usually the basis of taxation, tho penalties Ip the bill aro ridiculous. Tho penalty for refusing to make a return Is not Itss thin $20 nor more than $1000. In the n.imo of common decency let us make the pen titles for evasion of the tax law at least as severe as for evasion of the draft law HITS MILLlO.VAim: EVADERS "Is It a more serious offense for a father or mother to evade the draft law to tavo i -thelr boy than for tho mllUonnlie to LVailo y the tax law to sae the dollars ho has t wrung out of the war?' V1- Ia Follette pointed out that If tho war nds soon war proflts will cease. If It con ij tlnues the country will need eery dollar it can get to foot staggering bills. "In either eent," ho cald, 'tho logic Is ' Inexorable which commands us to take from war proflts now not tomorrow tho largest amount possible " He cited England's experience to show that high war profits taxes there SO per cent on all business except shipping and 88 per cent on that hae not lessened pro duction nor etlfled business "And England Is putting her rates still higher." he added , After defeat of the Johnson amendment haft Bnator Kenjon. of Iowa, said Jam' "Wo dla ns we" ns we exI'ected on tho Borf per cent amendment We will go ahead . i -- ow-n .r "in. ut.tw ..tllciluillcillo liv,- j vldlng somewhat lownr rates Xo m ftter whether these nj;f adopted or not we Ime i forced the Finance fommlttee to Increase war proflts taxes half a billion dollars." - , Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania, de e fended the Finance Committee's amendment. "It did not result from yielding to stump speakers, campaign orators or radical en thusiasts," he said. "It was the result of calm and deliberate Investigation and ap preciation of the situation." Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, addd: "If we hit business any harder In this bill we'll find It necessary next year to raise a billion dollars In consumption taxes My only aim is to keep business active and progressive lVe must do that and at the same time get the largest possible amount by taxation anda keep on getting It ve cant uo anthlng to impair the credit -of the United States, which is the mightiest single weapon In the war" RAIN AND WIND HAMPER 'WORK AT CAMP HANCOCK Roads Turned Into Quagmires When Batteries of First Field Artillery Arrive -s. BV By a Staff Correspondent CAMP HANCOCK, AUGUSTA, Ga , Sept. 1 The rain which has fallen in Georgia for two days settled the dust In camp and turned the roads Into quagmires. It rained all of last night, and therefore unloading of the equipment of the First Field Artil lery was hampered. Tho motortrucks had difficulty going through the thick mud. A heavy lightning storm early this morning caused the deatlt of a civilian about a mile from the camp. The storm caused no damage whatever in camp, not a tent being blown down. Battery A, of Bethlehem, was the first to arrive in camp. Batteries C. of rhoenlx- vllle, and V, of 'Wllllamsport, came next. They were followed by the Pittsburgh bat teries and Colonel McKee and the head quarters and supply companies.
