L Square Deal for Rich and Poor, Simmons Informs Senate. ‘Washington, Aug. 10.—In opening Senate debate on the $2,006,000,000 war tax bill today Senator Simmons, chairman of the finance committee de- clared the committee’s purpose in re- vising the House bill was to raise suf- ficient federal revenues for extra war expenses without injustice to rich or poor, Individual or corporation, and without injuring sources from which the new and future taxes must come. The bill, sald Senator Simmons, pro- poses to raise a larger proportion of war revenues by direct taxation and less by bonds, distributing the war burden between the present and fu- ture generations. He pointed out that nearly $1,400,000,000 of the new war taxes is to be obtained from incomes and war profits alone, with over $200,~ 000,000 more from intoxicants. “Before the war,” continued Sena- tor Simmons, ‘“our total expenditures ‘were between $700,000,000 and $800,- 000,000 exclusive of postal costs. It is evident that the expenditures dur- ing this fiscal year will reach some- thing like ten billon dollars. The conditions suggest incomes and war profits as the chief and just source of revenue to defray the expenses of the war. Apparently the House did not take this view. As the war profits for 1916, thirty hundred millions of dol- lars, the House levy of $200,000,000 from war excess profits in the bill, es- timated to raise $1,800,000, does not meet the manifest equities of the situ-. ation. “Your committee thought that the equities of the situation required at le?st one-half of the sum proposed to' be raised should be derived from incomes and excess profits.” Senator Simmons submitted statis- tics said to have been compiled by J. P. Morgan & Co., showing that forty- five great-corporations alone will pay, under the proposed committee revi~ sion, war nrofits taxes of $239,977,000, against only $77,736,000 proposed un- der the House bill. The administration food control and food survey bills were signed to- day by President Wilson and became law. Senator Sherman’s resolution for congressional investigation of the East St. Louis race riots was ordered reported today by the committee. The bill by Senator Shephard for an expert board to develop the war air service was reported favorably today by the senate military commit- tee.

London, Aug. 10.—The conference of the British labor party held at ‘Westminster today voted to send dele- gates to the Stockholm conference by 1,046,000 to 50,000. The conference was in ah uproar which ended only When the results of the card vote was announced. A special executive sub-committee of the’' British labor party committee prepared & memorandum upon the is- sues raised in the war and the ideas of British labor in regard to peace proposals. It occupies more than two columns in the Daily Telegraph. The memorandum was presented to the labor conference today and will be submitted to special conference August 21, prior to its proposed sub- mission successively to the allied and international socialist conference. Briefly the memorandum is a strong endorsement of the demand for rep- .aration and restoration in beha!f of { Belgium and other invaded countries: a declaration in favor of the right of individual people to sat‘le their own dectinies; llberation of oppressed reorles from Turkish missovernment and a demand for the establishment of a league of nationg for the main- tenance of peace and the el‘mination of war from the world. The memorandum indicates that Germany is threatening the very ex- istence of independent nationalities, striking a blow at all faith in treaties, and declares that the victory of Ger- many will be the defeat and destruc- tlon of democracy and liberty. It disavows the desire to crush Germany politically or economically, and de- clares that while the party is resolved to resist any attempt to transfer the war into a war of conquest. The memorandum heartily con- gratulates the Russian people on the destruction of czardom and warmly welcomes ‘‘assistance to the cause of human freedom, in council no less than on the battle field that is now b;flng accorded by the American peo- ple.” It declares war Is against the ruthless autocratic tinues: Appeal to Enemy Labor. “The conference asks the peoples of the several nations, particularly socialist labor comrades in Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and Tur- key, whether it is not possible for the united action of the working classes from the world to bring this mon- strous conflict to a summary con- clusion conformable to the principles of the internationale.’” After welcoming the formula of no annexations and no indemnities of°the council of Workmen’'s and Soldiers’ delegates the memorandum declare: “Of all war aims none is so im- portant as that there should hence- forth on earth be no more war. Who- ever triumphs the world will have less unless some effective method of pre- venting war can be found. “For this, reliance is largely placed on the complete democratization of Germany and Austria-Hungary, which now cannot fail to place themselves in line with other civilized nations, on a frank abandonment of every form of imperialism, on the suppression of secret diplomacy, on the placing of the foreign policy under the control of elected legislators, on the absolute res- Ponsibility of the foreign ministers of each country to the legislature on con- certed action for the limitatioin of armaments and the abolition of profit making of armament firms.* It is further declared that the essen. tial condition of a treaty of peace will be the establishment of ‘“a superna- tional authority or league of nations, adhered to by all present belligerents, ‘while every other independent state in the world should be pressed to join." The scope and constitution of the Proposed league are set forth, includ- ing machinery for settling internatio- nal disputes judically and mediating disputes which are injusticiable and the formation of an international le- gislature in which every civilized state will be represented. Return of Alsace-Lorraine. The memorandum reprobates “the crime against the peace of the world " whereby Alsace and Lorraine werc torn from France in 1871 and de- mands that they be allowed to rea their desire to be restored to France. The necessity is recognized for secur- ing the legitimate interests of the people of Italy in the Adriatic and Aegean without precluding the same recognition of the cluims of other peoples. 3 The question of Poland should be settled in accordance with the wishes of Poles, and in all cases, including Luxemburg, in which independence has been temporarily destroyed each must he allowed to settle its own des- tiny.

P NPTy BILL IN' CONGRESS Men in Any Branch of Service May Have It at $8 a Thousand DEPENDENTS' ALLOWANCE Families of Men on Battle Front to Receive Allowances According to Number and Circumstances—FPen- sions for Wounded Men. ‘Washington, Aug. 10.—Authority to make effective the government's pro- gram of insuring the armed forces of the nation was sought of congress to- day in bills introduced in both houses by Senator Simmons and Representa- tive Alexander. The proposed legislation was framed to follow plans already an- nounced in general outline and would provide insurance at minimum cost for American soldiers, sailors and ma- rines, the insured men paying the premiums; family allowances to de- pendents of men in the nation’s mili- tary or naval service; indemnification for disabilities and the re-education and rehabilitation, at government ex- pense of injured men. A feature not previously announced would make it compulsory for offi- cers and men to allot a minimum of $15 a month out of their pay to de- pendent wives ' and children. The maximum compulsory allotment is half pay. These allotments would be supplemented by family allowances, to be made by the government of from, $5 to $50 a month, according to the circumstances and number of depen- dents. To encourage thrift and ‘“better to preserve equality and democracy among the members of our own force: and between them and the Allie authority is sought to permit the war and navy departments to compel men who do not allot one-half their pay to deposit so much of their half pay as is not alloted with the government at four per cent interest compounded semi-annually.

The cost to the government, as esti- mated by Secretary McAdoo, approximate the following: Family allowances, first year, $141,- 000,000; second yvear, $190,000,000. Death indemnities, first year, $3,- 700,000; second year, $22,000,000. Compensation for total disability, first year, $5,250,000; second year, $35,000,000. Compensation for partial disability, first year, $3,200,000; second year, $21,000,000. Insurance against death and dis- ability, first year, $23,000,000; second year, $112,500,000. Total cost, first year, $176,150,000; second year, $380,500,000. The total for the two years is thus placed at $556,650,000, which Mr. Mc- Adoo estimates at less than six per cent of the cost to the country of con- ducting the war. In its general features the bill was approved by the ad\'ksor)‘ACOI‘nmltlee of insurance representatives sum- moned by Secretary McAdoo to Wash- n July 2. ms‘{‘t'!?hef' 0};posed, however,” Mr. Mc- Adoo advised the president in a letter made public with the introduction of the bills, “the grant of any govern- meft insurance over and above the compensation, on the ground that the other provisions were liberal enough and might be made more liberal in ways suggested by them.
