LONGWORTH URGES CAUTION IN TAXATION Says That Revenue Bill Must Not Plunder Business—Near Danger: Mark \ | | | i | Washington, Sept.. 10.—Wealth is} taxed to about the straining point by} the war revenue bill, Rep. Longworth, | of Ohio, declared in the house today, | when debate «nd the huge tax meas-} ure wes resumed. He warned his hear- | ers that any additional taxes Jevied hereafter must be borne by people! purchasing articles of daily necessity, and said that ‘as the cost of war mounts, a greater proportion of it will | have to be borne by future genera- | tions. Pointing out that congress is about to exact from the American people, a sum which would have more than paid the entire cost of the civil war both to the Union and the Contfeder- acy, Mr. Longworth said the maximum | tax on war profits was “mighty near the danger mank.” He added: that this is a bill to raise war, revere not to reorganize so- ciety. 44 : “Just aS surely as you impose a tax which amounts to plunder,” said the Ohio representative, “just so surely do you ovérshoot the mark and ren- der difficult if not. impossible the fi- nancing necessary to effectively pros- ecute the war.” Most of the coming issue of Liberty bonds,..Mr.. Longworth.-said, would. be purchased by. individuals and thelr purchasing , power will be directly af- affected by the taxes on their incomes.
