STDGGERSCONGRESS
Hearings of Senate Committee
Brings Cut Divergent
Ideas
Washington, June 8. Congress is in
clined to balk at Secretary of the
Treasury ileAdoo's demand for eiyht
billion in war taxes. This sum, double
the present revenue, is higher by $2,
000,000,000 than is necessary, some
memberj declare. Secretary McAdoo
has ineluded in his estimate of $24,-
0u0,OO0,0OO for the year's expenditures
about 6.000.000.000 for lonns tn thn 1.
'lies Senator Smoot, senate finanee ex
pert said today.
"Thes loans should not be figured
in establishing the sum to be raised
by taration en the basis of JIcAdoo's
1-3 tax aud tvto-thirds bonds plan. The
allied loans, reimbursable in full to the
tnited Stater. Therefore, if they Me
left oi. t as they should be, the total
tax needed would be six billion instead
of igh'.. 71-is would require the rtis
ing cf r:n additional two billion dolliri
something tuirly easy to accomplish
witnoul putting a drain on anybedy
but the war profiteer, who ought v
bexr u," nud Senator Smoot.
McAdoo is to be quizzed on the point
raised by &mcct, before either the
ways and means committee or the sen
ate finance -committee accepts his fig
ures as final.
The general belief to that if Mc
Adoo can get along with whatever ad
ditional taxes a stiff increase in prof
its and income levies will bring, there
will be no difficulty in getting the bill
through quickly. But if it becomes nec
esary to broaden the field of taxation
and include new articles, a long fight
is certain.
A graduated publication tax based
on circulation aiul subscription price
was advocated by Representative John
son, Minnesota, before the committee.
Johnson said that adoption of his plan
which he has already incorporated in
to a bill, would leave the coinimdttee
free to tax advertising of all sorts in
a separate prevision.
The plan proposed by Johnson would
tax publications with a sbseription
price of 50c per year one half cent
prr copy on th first 20,000 copies, one
cent a oopy on circulation between
20,000 and 10,000 and two cents on all
subscriptions over that fiRuie.
The present p'au of allowing small
papers to circulate free within their
own counties, Johnson would leave un
touched. Chairman Kitchin read a telegram
from the National Editors' association
favoring the zone system. Johnson inti
mated the association favored it be

much more than small ones. C. Hassoll is with Co. 51 in France, L,
