PREPAREDNESS SUM CUT
Increase Marked in Internal Rev
enue Department Income Tax
to Produce More Than
Had Been Expected.
WASHINGTON, May 18 Secretary
; McAdoo today submitted to Chairman
Xitchln, of the House ways and means
committee, and Chairman Simmons, of
the Senate finance committee, revised
"estimates of the Government's receipts
end expenditures for the remainder ol
the current fiscal year and the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1817. tending to
show that much less new revenue will
have to be raised to meet the bill for
preparedness and other large contem
plated expenditures than had been sup
posed. Only about (150,000,000 In additional
-revenue will have to be provided dur
ing the coming year, Mr. McAdoo said.
This is less by $75,000,000 than the most
conservative members of Congress cal
culated would be needed. All of the
additional revenue will come from taxes
on incomes, inheritances and munitions
In accordance with a plan approved last
week by President Wilson.
Omnibus Bill Favored.
It is probable that all of the revenue
measures now before Congress, Includ
ing provision for preparedness reve
nues, a tariff commission and the en
couragement of the dyestuffs industry,
will be included in an omnibus bill. The
President is understood to favor that
plan.
Mr. Kitchln told the Democrats of the
ways and means committee at a meet
ing today that nothing would prevent
him from putting the legislative pro
gramme through the House so as to be
ready to adjourn on August 1. The
Senate, however, may delay adjourn
ment by prolonged debate on some of
the big measures.
In addition to preparedness measures,
the revised estimate presented by Mr.
McAdoo included provision for good
roads, rural credits and expenditures to
prevent and cope with floods. In mak
ing up the estimates, the additional cost
to the country of preparedness during
the year 1917 was placed at from S90,
000,000 to $100,000,000, a figure prob
ably considerably less than appropria
tions to be authorized by Congress, but
approximating the sum which actually
would be spent during the year under
the authorization.
Stamp Tax Feature Excluded.
An estimate compiled by Mr. Mc
Adoo when Congress convened last De
cember showed a deficit of $62,000,000
In the general fund June 30, 1917, in
stead of $13,500,000 balance in the pres
ent estimate. The previous estimate
contemplated the extension of the
emergency revenue tax to the end of
the fiscal year of 1917. The emergency
measure expires by limitation Decem
ber 31 next and in compiling the re
vised estimates Mr. McAdoo figured on
eliminating the stamp tax features of
the measure from July 1 next.
Increases in Treasury receipts have
been most marked in the Internal reve
nue department. Ordinary revenues,
estimated at $272,000,000 for the fiscal
year 1916, will approximate $303,000,
000, an increase of $31,000,000. Next
year's ordinary revenue receipts were
placed in the previous estimate at about
$265,000,000; in the revised estimate at
about the same figure as this year's.
These revenues cover mainly the tax
on distilled liquors, cigars, cigarettes
and tobacco. Revenue from the income
tax will be about $100,000,000 this
year. Secretary McAdoo estimates, and
certainly above $105,000,000 next year.
'The previous estimate had placed this
revenue at $85,000,000 and $90,000,000.
KAISER ALTERS POLICY
(Continued From First Pag-e.) .
with the various plots and sonspiracies
which have been disclosed, but In spite
of his disclaimers he realized that the
independent acts of German subjects
were inflicting harm on the German
cause in this country. He believed It
desirable therefore that he should have
'authority to warn Germans to obey the
law and to make it clear to them that
they would not receive any protection
from their government In case of guilt.
German Disfavor Asserted.
The views of the ambassador- were
carefully considered in Berlin and as,
according to the Embassy, the German
government looks with great disfavor
on attempts to violate the neutrality
of a friendly country. It was decided
to issue a warning, such as set forth
.In the statement made public.
There is no doubt further that the
action of the German government was
caused by the way in which most of
the plots and conspiracies have been
brought to naught as a result of the
activity of the Department of Justice,
Tip to date some 33 indictments in
volving 80 Germans or German-Amerl
cans have been returned and in the
trials which have occurred the defend
ants have been convicted In every
instance.

vote will be had after four or five
hours of debate.
Representatives Hawley and Sinnott
will ask for one hour each to discuss
the bill and Representative McArthur
will speak less extensively. Chairman
Ferris will make the opening speech,
and aside from Representative Len
root it is not expected many other
members of the committee will dis
cuss the bill at length.
The indications are that the bill will
pass in substantially the form in which
it was reported by the public lands
committee, although Representative
Hawley will offer a series of amend
ments, one of them to restore the origi
nal 40-40 plan carried in the Chamber
lain bill.
This amendment will have the sup
port of the full Oregon delegation, as
will another amendment making pro
vision for the Oregon ports. Oregon
Representatives will also support an
other amendment by Mr. Hawley to
give prior rights to all who in good
faith settled on agricultural land.
Mr. Hawley Is working on another
amendment, designed to secure the re
turn to the tax roll at the earliest pos
sible date of both lands and timber,
which will be removed from the tax
roll by the bill as it standa

PHONE RATE RISE FOUGHT
Cpqullle Bases Protest Upon Stipu-
latlon Made in Franchise.
SALEM, Or.. May 18. (Special.)
Protest against the application, ol Ula
Coos and Curry County Telephone
Compai.y for .n increase in rates was
filed with the Public Service Commis
sion today by the city of Copullle. The
complaint contends that the commission
has no authority to raise the utility's
rates which are fixed by franchise.
The action of the city of Copullle
is believed to be biaed upon the de
cision of Circuit Judge Galloway this
week In a similar case Involving the
city of Woodburn, In which the Judge
vacated the order of the commission in
creasing the telephone company's rates
over those fixed in the franchise ob
tained by the company from the city of
Woodburn.

tiary baseball team today played an
amateur team at the local American
Association ball park. It was said to
be the first time that a convict team,
unguarded, has been permitted to play
outside of prison walls. Proceeds of
the game will go to charity.
The prison band, composed of SO con
victs, accompanied the team to the
park, and before the game and between
innings entertained the crowd with
lively airs. The sporting editor of the
Ohio Penitentiary News, which is pub
lished by convicts within the prison,
reported for his paper, which will carry
a full account of each play.
Several prison officials attended the
game, but none of them was armed,
all of the convicts being on their honor
not to attempt to escape.
ELECTION DAY BARS BOOZE
Attorney-General Rales Consign
ments Can't Be Received Legally.
SALEM. Or.. May 18. (Special.)
Express and transportation companies
cannot legally deliver consignments of
liquor on election day, Attorney-Gen
eral Brown held today in response to
an Inquiry from Ulstrlct Attorney
Evans, Multnomah County. The At
torney-General declared he believed
delivery of intoxicants would be viola
tlve of the prohibition law.
Prior to the passage of the prohibl
tion law, the former statute made it
unlawful to sell or dispose of intoxicat
ing liquor on election day. The new
law permits shipments of liquor into
the state in limited amounts, but the
Attorney-General says that in his
opinion the courts would hold that no
delivery could be made on election
day.

a souvenir of California's Ripe Olive
day, which was observed in California
yesterday. Governor Wlthycombe today
received a case of olives from P. R.
Lance, secretary of the California Olive
Association, of Los Angeles.
"The . people of California and the
Olive association in particular deserve
much credit for the active methods they
employ in advertising their product,"
said the Governor. "It is this sort of
enterprise and publicity which counts.
I have tried the California product and
to my mind It is much superior to
that produced in foreign lands.

WIRE TAPPING IS DEFENDED
Mr. Mitchell Says Nation's Vital
Interests at Stake, and Wins
Hearing by Tbreat to "Rip
Things Wide Open."
NEW TORK. May 18. The telephone
wire of the law firm of Seymour &
Seymour was tapped by the police. Dis
trict Attorney Swann asserted tonight,
not because they were searching for a
clew to a plot that might result in in
ternational complications, as Mayor
Mitchel and Police Commissioner Woods
had intimated earlier in the day, but
because J. P. Morgan tc Co. had com
plained that official documents were
being stolen from their office.
The Morgan documents were given to
someone who had deskroom in Seymour
Seymours offices. Mr. Swann de
clared, and who realized sums by sell
ing the Information they contained to
American munition manufacturers. He
made It clear that Seymour & Seymour
had no connection with this transac
tion. On the other hand. Mayor Mitchel
and Commissioner Woods, who previ
ously had appeared before the Thomp
son legislative committee demanding a
hearing on the wire-tapping charges
and maintaining that the telephone had
been tapped in the regular line of po
lice work, confirmed in part the Dis
trict Attorney's story, but insisted that
their rather guarded report of a plot
still held good.

not only because It had disturbed tele
phone users but because it bad inter
fered with the police when engaged in
work touching the vital interests of
the United States In the international
relations of the Government.
District Attorney Swann told the
committee that Mr. Woods "tapped" the
wire after Morgan & Co. had com
plained that information regarding war
munition orders sent by tne x rencn
Minister of Finance were being stolen
by a clerk and supplied to certain In
dividuals who sold the Information to
munition manufacturers, enabling them
to offer satisfactory bids when the
Morgan firm advertised for them.
Morgan & Co., the District Attorney
said, engaged a private detective
agency, which established the fact that
the information stolen from the Mor
gan firm was delivered to three men
who had desk room In the offices of
Seymour A Seymour. The identity of
the Morgan clerk involved could not
be determined, however, and in the
hope that he ratgnt be traced by his
