Oregon Member Declares Bill Places I
Burden Most- Heavily- on Those
Best Able to Bear It and
, Will Injure No Industry,. .
OREGONIAX NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. Sept. 14. That the new revenue
bill will meet the approval of the coun-
. try, that it will place the burden most l
heavily uon. thoee best able to bear it
and thajr it will not injure any industry.
is tin confident r assertion of Repre
aerjtattve W.-C. J Hawley, of Oregon,
who. as the-' only Pacific Coast member
of the ways and means committee, was
In almost constant attendance upon the
eefvions of the committee while the bill
' was being formed. When requested to
give a summary of the sources? from
which tth bill will raise revenue and
of his views of it. In a general -way.
Mr. Hawley said:
The committee on ways and means. In :
. f rs.ni ins the war revenue bill, had three prin
cipal qestione consider: From what
sources ran ight billions of revenue be ob-
tated; now should the taxes be apportioned
among the taxpayers to take from each ac
cording to his ability to pay and to burden
no business or industry more than if Is able
to bear; and what rates to levy in order to
express this apportionment In language.
There is one claw the committee made
special endeavor to reach that is- the war J
profiteers.- who most' be made to disgorge
the shameless profits they have obtained
through unpatriotic creed.
Taxes on few Basis.
As a, general rule, the rates In -the bill are
f twice those in existing laws, and where new
, sources of revenue have been' included they
' have been' taxed on the new basis, with the
exception of articles classified' as luxuries,
on which the rates have .been made much I
higher.
The committee made a -faithful endeavor I
to levy the taxes on a fair and Impartial
basis and some kinds -of -taxes re included
only by reason of the great necessity of war,
and caa be continued only during -war. -In
order to guard against unintentional ln-
4 justice the bill creates an advisory tax I
board with sufficient power to afford Justi
ciable relief.
Sixty-eight per cent will be raised by In-
I come taxes.
It is estimated that the normal taxes will
yield S414.000.000 and the surtax 11.18.- I
. 1H6.0O0, oka total of fl.4b2.lSti.000. Corpora
tions will pay a normal tax of f S94.00o.000 I
and under the war profits method or excess 1
profits method, whichever is higher. f3,.

The net Income for corporations for the
year la estimated to be , 700, 000. 000 and
adding together the income taxes of all
kinds we have f I,4;CiS6,000 and S4.1O4.0O0.
OOO. making a total of f3.67H,lSJtOOO. It la
estimated that personal Incomes total f 7,-
400.000,000 ar.d adding the corporation and
personal Incomes together we have a total
of f oo.OOo. OOO for purposes of taxation.
Iducting the taxes to be paid out of this
total there is left about fl 1. 400.000.000 with
which to buy liberty bonds, war saving

take into account Incomes not reported and
not taxable, which aggregate some billions

mat- mere was left to .t he country a safe
margin for operations. The bfil imposes the
income tax upon persons not included In
existing law, including the President, Federal
juages, state, county and local officials.
Luxuries Taxed Higher.

as luxuries have been taxed at a high rate.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON
THE LORRAINE FRONT. Sept. 14.
(By the Associated Press.) Aside from
the strategic value of the reduction of
the St. Mihlel salient, the operations
by the Americans have netted vast num
bers of prisoners and huge quantities
of guns, ammunition and general
stores.
The. desperate efforts of the enemy
to escape through the forest near
Vlgrneulles partially succeeded, but not
so well as to detract from the brilliant
result. Before the American line
stretched across the edge of the woods
tightened, it is estimated that thou

Throughout the night and early to

St. Mihicl salient. They cleared the I known that the Germans planned such

they never offered to fight unless en

then their resistance was slight. -

and this may have had a bearing on the
failure of the Germans to carry out a
gas attack shortly before the Amer
leans began their operation. It is
forest of lurking Germans.
Prisoners make conflicting state
ments respecting German prepared
ness for an attack in this sector. Some
say it was unexpected; others declare
they had advance information of the
hour and place of -the attack. Still
others expected it would take place
on the night of the attack. The post's
command was being moved when the
attack began, and therefore was
caught unawares iii the barrage. This
apparently explains the light counter
artillery fire Thursday morning.
A German prisoner officer is quoted
as saying:
"The Hindenburg line, in its present
state is untenable."
LONDON, Sept. 14. (By the Asso
ciated Prefss, 1:30 P. M.) General
Pershing's troops in their operations
in the St. Mihiel sector have increased
the number of Germans captured to
16,000.
Yankees Advance 13 Miles.
In addition to. the 15,000 Germans
captured by the Americans' in the St.
Mihiel salient, more prisoners are
coming in. The inside of the pocket
has not yet been cleared and it is ex
pected that more guns will be taken.
The maximum depth of the new
positions taken by the American
forces in the St. Mihiel sector is' 13
miles from the former line.

LIMA. Peru, Sept. 14. Motion for

at a secret session of the Peruvian
Chamber of .Deputies last night, was

"The rupture of diplomatic relations

5, 1917, and the later acts of the Peru

Minus reports from five counties and

rollment total last night stopped just
short of 100,000 at 99,714. The day's
recor(Wgives full promise of mounting
to loraiuo, as estimated Friday.
What are known as late registra
tions, including all received by draft
boards after September 12, will easily
put the final state aggregate beyond
the Inclusive estimate of 106,000.
Late registrations, under strict - or
ders from Washington, are being kept
separate from those of the official day
and will be reported later. One divis
ion In Portland yesterday had approxi
mately 150 such enrollments laid aside.
Other boards here and out In the state
will all have such listings to report.
Careful revision of the one day's reg
istration in Portland did not swell the
city's total, leaving it at 40,309, accord
ing to compilations at state draft head
quarters. ' t
Government estimates for the five
counties having made no report, Crook,
Curry, Josephine, Lake and Malheur,
aggregate B24. This added to the
99,714 on record last night sums up for
the state 104,978. The figures for
eight or more precincts of Douglas,

ties are yet to be reported and added.
