Money Measure.
(By Associated PrtAH.)
Washington, Aug. 10. In opening
Senate debate on the $2,006,970,000
War Tax bill today, Senator Sim
mons chairman of the Finance com
mittee, declared the eompiittee's pur
pose in revising the House bill was-to
raise sufficient Federal revenue for
extra war expenses without injustice
to rich or poor, individual or cor
poration, and without injuring sourc
es from which the new and future
taxes must come.
The bill, said Senator Simmons,
proposes to raise a larger proportion
of war revenues by direct taxation and
less by bonds, distributing the war
burden between the present and future
generations. He pointed out that
nearly $1,400,000,000 f of the new war
taxes are to be obtained from incomes
and war profits alone, with over $200,
000,000 more from intoxicants. , , .""j
"Before the war' ottttoud' ena-j
tor Simmons, "our total' expenditures
were between $700,00,-000 and "$800,
000,000, exclusive of postal costs. -'
It is evident that the expenditures
during this fiscal year will; reach
something like $10,000,000,O0. .These
conditions suggest incomes and ' war
profits as tho chief and just squrce
of revenue to defray the expenses tf
the war. Apparently the House did
not take this view.
"As the war profits for 1916 Vxceed
thirty hundred millions of dollars the
House levy of $200,000,000 from war
excess profits in the bill, estimated
to raise $l,800,0CO,O00t does not meet
the manifest equities of the situation
reauiring at least one-half of the sum
proposed to be raised should be drawn
from incomes and excess profits."
Senator Simmons submitted statis
tics, said to have been compiled by J.
P. Morgan & Company, showing that
45 great corporations alone will pay,
under the proposed committee revis
ion, war profits taxes of $239,977,000,
against only $77,736,000 proposed un
der the House bill. A table present
ed made the following estimates of
the principal war taxes under the
respective headings of Company;
Estimated excess profits; Tax under
Senate bill; Tax under House bill:
United States Steel Corporation
$207,945,000, $70,726,000, $21,685,000.
Bethlehem Steel Corporation $53,
715,000, $25,045,000, $7,124,000.

Washington, Aug. 10. A nlitional

the draft levies for the training can

Provost Marshal General Crowder
laid additional stress today on his
statement to local boards that it might

Washington, Aug. . 10 . While the
government alone can assume the

task of looking after dependents of
those who fight the nation's battle at

ijake to help so far as it can.
.The Red Cross policy m such cases
was outlined today- in this s La tenant
by Chairman Henry P. Davison, of the
War Council: '
"Obviously the task of providing for
the financial assistance of the fami
lies of our soldiers and sailors is so
large that the government alone can
assume it. In no other way can the
burdeft'be discharged fairly and as a
matter of right rather than charity.
No voluntary organization, or organi
zations, could adequately cope with a
duty of such magnitude. :SX
"The American people wiU not, of
course, permit families to , suffer be
cause their bread-winners are fighting
for their country. . Cases will undoubt-
1 edly ' arise wherein the allowance of
the government will not be adepuate

will provide also the friendly services,:
