"In justice to my friends who wish that I should be such can didate and as information for the public who might be asked to sign any petition for my nomination, I wish to say that I am willing to be such inde pendent candidate, that I have given the matter careful con sideration and if my friends will see that I have the required number of signers, which shall be not less than 781 in the county, that I will accept such independent nomination when properly filed with the county clerk. "My reasons for this move are as follows: We are engaged in a great struggle for the preser vation of free government; we cannot afford any dissipation of our forces for liberty, either in material power or man pow er. Everyone should take his place and do his best for the good of all. I am an old man, but I am not down and out.

WASHINGTON, July 20 VP) A $6,143,900,000 wartime reve nue bill was passed by the house and sent to the senate today af ter a last-minute floor fight which resulted in levying a 90 per cent excess profits tax and a combined normal and surtax of 45 per cent on corporations. The ways and means commit tee sought to have the excess profits tax raised to 90 per cent and the normal and surtax re duced to 40 per cent. On the excess profits tax in crease, the. committee was sus tained on a voice vote. But on the surtax revisions the house decided, by a teller vote of 180 to 160, to retain the provision of 45 per cent. Chairman Doughton (D-N C) of the committee urged the re vised corporate rates in the in terest of the small corporations which were not benefitting from the war program. But Rep. Mc Lean (R- N. J.) said the changes would "help those corporations which are waxing fat by this war effort." ' The legislation would raise about $2,400,000,000 in new taxes from corporations and al most $3,000,000,000 from in dividuals, primarily through steeply graduated individual surtax rates and reduced per sonal exemptions.
