It is pretty well understood by bouse leaders that the war tax law which expires by limitation tho last day of December wlU.be jcv|*ed~ and tK? expiration llm^t extended for an oter year or longer. It Is also un derstood that the law when revised will Include many mor^ articles for taxation than the present law. Sugar will not be put on the free list and there la a strong probabil ity that wool and many other arti cles will be taken oft the free list and sufficient tax Imposed to raise a much larger revenue than is now de rived from the Underwood-Simnions tariff law. Just what thes* articles are to be: and the extent of the tax will not b->! decided until the administration leaders llnd out definitely whether they will sell Panama bonds or a dopt some other m'ann whereby suf ficient revenue may be had to meet the additional expense of tho enor mous appropraitlonfr for tho army and navy. Both questions are ron ? sidered dangerous, politically speak ing. Mary leaders fear the result of additional taxation and they are in doubt as to the wisdom of selling bonds. A bond Issue for th? purpose of national defense under the present program, would mean an issue each year for five years. If the program which President Wilson how advo cates 1? carried out. On the other hand if the people can bo taxed e nough through tariff reviidon and war tax 'measures to ralBe this revo nue It can be done with one law In stead of flv? attempts br would br tho case If bond Issue* are resorted to.
