WILHELM UNDER NEW BILL WASHINGTON, Sept. 19. The war profits plan adopted by the houeo, broadly, tor a levy ot 80 per cent on corporate profits exceeding 10 per cent on invested capital, plus a flat exemption of J3000 over profits of a pre-war period. The excess pro fits rates range from 33 'to 70 pur cent of capital over exemptions of 15 to 20 per cent. , With little discussion the estate or Inheritance tax rates, graduated and ranging from .three per cent on $50, 000 estates to forty per cent on those exceeding $10,000,000 were adopted. From this source the bill Is designed to raise $80,000,000 next year and $110,000,00 by 1920. In as quick time the house adopted the taxes on transportation and com munication. These include threo per cent on freight, one cent for each twenty cents on express, eight per cont on passenger tickets, the reduc tion from 10 to 8 per cent on Pull man accommodations, the Increase from 5 to 6 iter cent on oil pipe line transportation and slightly Increased taxes on telephone, telegraph and similar messages. The new tax of ten per cent on pri vato leased wires, except for press service, also wus approved without discussion. , MORE AMERICAN REFUGEES FROM RUSSIA REACH SWEDEN v - STOCKHOLM, Sept. 1!). (Iiy tile Associated Tress.) Another parly of refugees from Hussin, number inj; COO persons, nnd incliidiuy: (id Amer ican nnd lirilisli civilians, arrived yesterday nt llopnnindn. In the par ty were 400 Italian officers nnd soldiers. HP HE patriotic nation-wide movement to bar the ,Ger man languasre from American schools and colleges had its origin in the discovery that the teachiiiff of Ger man in the United States was part and parcel of the plan to Germanize America and spread the ideals of "knltnr" among Americans to keep the Germans in this country from becoming assimilated, to keep them Germans and subjects of the kaiser and secret enemies of the land of their adoption. i The German propaganda as disclosed in the exposure of the activities of the Gcriiian-Anieriean alliance, is re sponsible for the maintenance of German language schools in German population centers and for the vogue German has had in our public school system. In many districts it has gone so far that only German is taught and English is barred in otherfe the two tongues are on an equal basis 1 The German government planned to make parts of America a "German colony and sought by clandestine methods, the cultivation of pro-German sentiment for in no way could the kaiser's purposes be carried out better than by keeping the German language alive and increas ing public knowledge of it, so that the infernal doctrines of kultur would permeate through German literature and poison the minds of German-Americans as thev have the people ot Germain'. As an effective protest against this insidious Ger manizing of America, the teaching of German has been largely stopped, and should cease altogether. There is no reason why public funds should be expended in proinul gating an enemy language used as an instrument to ad vance ideals abhorrent to civilization. People who want to speak German should return to Germany. There is no reason why the language of America is not good enough ior tnose wiio live in America. The teaching of German has however, found an advo cate in the person of Philander P. Claxton, United States commissioner of education, who thinks the movement to oar German is a "torin ot emotional hysteria." He be lieves that all American, school children should studv German and be able to speak it. He opposes further raids on the lying, - false, misleading German text books and hopes that they will be restored after the war is over. He says: "I .consider the nation-wide movement to eliminate the German lan guage from public schools and ordinary affairs of social and commercial life, a form of emotional hysteria nnd opposo such a course. "I oppose the elimination of the German language 'because when this world war Is over and the nations settle back to peacoful pursuits we will have to deal with 130,000,000 people of tho German type. . Commercially, in the future, Americans will have more to do with the Germans than ever, also, we are not fighting the German language, which is so rich in lit erary association." . ., Claxton was born in Tennessee, received his early edu cation in the public schools, but was a student two' years in Germany, returning to teach Viei'inan in this country. He became professor of German at the North Carolina State Normal college and is an ardent admirer of German literature, lie has been commissioner of education since 1911 but in the minds of patriotic Americans has served quite long enougn. Germans will have to learn to speak English after the war if they wish to trade with America. They had no dif ficulty in acquiring it before the war.' Besides no true American ever wants to buy anything made in Germany nereairer not at least until tiic Uernian people become civilized. As for literature, there is just as much need to learn French, Hussian, Italian and Spanish as German. Most of recent kultur permeated, kaiser canting modern Ger man literature is not fit to read anyway. It is more important for Americans to learn French than any other language. No people are closer to Ameri can hearts than the French people. No other nation will be closer associated, commercially, industrially and so cially than France, for America must aid in repairing flic ruin of the Hun. The tics wilh Italy will also be close and no literature or art is richer than the Italian. From a strictly commercial viewpoint, Spanish and Russian arc far more important than German. Spanish is spoktfi from the American border to Cape Horn and in Hie Philippines, while Russia, sprawling over nearly half the globe, will be the scene of the greatest development of the future. It appears now that the kaiser has an ally in carrying out his propaganda in Professor Claxton, vice president of a peace league, and a member of more peace societies than any other high government official. There ought to be no room on Uncle Sam's payroll for the distinguished pacifist and advocate of the German language in America.

Striking paper mill workers who went out last October in a strike affecting Camas, Wtest Linn, Iehanon and Ore gon City mills, have voted to call off the strike. Tho mills were able to secure enough employes to operate, which had the effect of prolonging the strike. President Wilson's labor mediation commission, on Its trans continental tour some months ago. Investigated the atrlko and In the report Issued from Washington, scor ed the employers. A conference recently held In San Francisco between officials of the Crown Willamette Paper company and the llawley Pulp & Paper com pany, the tw j employing Interests af fected, Is said to have resulted In the strike settlement.
