Wealth conscriptionists lost their first big batt'e whn Johnson's amendment te the revenue bill providing an 80 per cent war profits tax waa defeated 1' to 62. The fight la only begun. The determined group of wealth conscrip tionists intend making the rich pay their heavy tax. The small vote following Johnson indicates the- success of the finance committee in ranging behind It many southern senators who oppose the committee bill. Those voting for tn-i big tax were Ashurst, Borah. Brady. Gore. Gronna, Hollis. Husting. John son of California. Johnson of South Dakota Jones of Washington. Ken yon. Kirby. La Follette. McNanr. Norris, Thompson and Vardamann. Johnson scathingly attacked th senate finance committee bill, de claring U wouiyput premiums on the ability of irreat corporations to hood-w-ink and exploit the government. He declared if this war was made un popular it would be because of the finance committees action. "Germany's newspapers and people said we haven't the courage to take a huge war profits and our corpora tions never will voluntee rthem." he declared. They're saying It's a dollar war with us our great nation la not man power a'one but our man power plus our money- power." "This is not & question of conscrip ting wealth. It's the old struggle be tween idealistic democracy with e ery man for himself and the new doc trine under which every man. woman. child for the state with his wealth and life.
