LA FOLLETTE LOSES FIGHT ON WAR TAX “Yote in Senate Considered As Rebuke to Pacifist ] Washington, Aug. 24.—The biparti- san majority in the Senate, which has put through all of the administration’s war measures, threw its force vester- day against the Follette amend- ment to augment appreciably the in- come tax in the war revenue bill, de- fegting it by a vate of 58 tq,41, This vote disposed of the income tax fea- ture, and it will be passed in the bill as voted upon Wednesday, with the original House amendments and the one offered by Senator Gerry of Rhode Island. Defeat of Senator La Follette's scheme was inevitable; sftor the coup: ofiWednesday, by which most of the dvances in the income tax advocated by the Wisconsin senator were worked into the bill. Senator La Follette's fety to get his amendment through did not strike a responsive chord with the bi-partisan combination, which has been out of sympathy with what it regards as Mr. La Follette’s obstruc- tive tactics on nearly all war meas- ures. The abrupt rejection of Mr. La Fol- lette’s amendment was interpreted in the Senate lobhy as a rebuke to the Wisconsin senator for his attitude on the war and a distinct victory for ad- ministration supporters on both sides of the Senate. It was also taken as an augury that Senator La Follette's con- templated move to put a heavy in- crease on excess corporation war prof- its was certain to cause a sharp strug- gle that in the end might result in de- La Senators on both sides r helieve that the tax on r profits ought to be raised, there was talk that this would be done through another measure next winter arxd that, if any further advance was put into the war revenue bill it would be comparatively slight. Senator Simmons, chairman of the finance committee, who has handled the war revenue bill in its career in the Senate, said last night that the majority of the Senate appeared to be satisfied to lef the excess profits sec- tioni stand for the time. The Senator expressed satisfaction with the. in crease of $75,000,000, put upon in- comes beyond the levy already pro- vided for in the bill. He regarded the advance as fair, without imposing any serious hurden, as the increase in every instance affected the higher in- coines. Talk that has done the rounds at the capitol during the last few day: that Prestdent Wilson v in sym- pathy with the effort for fixing much higher taxes on incomes and excess war profits was repudiated by the ecutive in a statement given out at the White Hou This statement read “The secretary to the president an- nounces this afternoon on the author- ity of the president that the statement that the president had been support- ing the attacks on the revenue bill was absolutely unfounded and that the in the controversy atall.” ~ The vote on the La Follette amend- ment, to apply gradnated taxes run- ngn from 1 per cent. on incomes i $5,000 to $6,000, up to 45 per cent. incomes over §2,000,000, after a long argument by the Wiscon- sin Senator. In his speech Senator La IFollette pointed out that under his scheme, the yield would be 2 $806.512.463, while under he plan voted upon by the senate yvesterday, the aggresate tax would he §523,244,- 760. on How They Voted.

Total 58. Senator Simmons opened the day’s debate with a criticism of Senator La Follette, In which he talked of an effort to load the war revenue bill down with amendments calling for heavy tax increases so as to make it unpopular with the people. This, said Senator Simmons, was part “of the evident attempt on the part of some in the senate and out to create an unfavorable sentiment against the war.” J “There are those who do not be- lieve in this horrible war in which we are engaged,” said Senator Simmons. “They are not in sympathy with the government in its entrance in the struggle. They are not in sympathy with any of the measures which the government has seén fit and necessary to take in order to bring the conflict to a successful issue. I make no per- sonal application, but I do say, Mr. President, that that class of people in the country—I am not speaking .about the senate now, but that class of people in this country have been demanding, first, that we pay all the expenses of the war by taxation, and that this year and this generation shall bear the whole burden. They are exceedingly sensitive about placing even a small fraction of it upon future generations.. Their con- science is punctured to the very core at the suggestion that the men who are to come fifty years from now, when these bonds become due, may have to pay some of the expenses of the war. They want it all placed upon the burdens of the people of this country, now right now-—$10,000,- 000,000 or’$12,000,000,000—raise it by larger taxation. Making War Unpopular. “I charge no man with wrong, but I do charge that the inspiration of that suggestion, when carried to the extent that it has been carried by some in this country, finds its genesis in hostility to the war itself, in a de- sire to make that war as unpopular as is possible. We all know that peo- ple, neither in peace times nor in war times, like taxes. We all know thaf. you cannot make a cause more un- popular in this country, or in any other country, than by imposing upon the. country a Burdensome and op- pressive rate of taxation. For that reason, not only in our wars but in the wars of other countries, not only today but in past generations throughout the whole history of man, wars have been paid for geherally more largely by the issuance of bonds than they have by taxation. “If you want to make this bill un- popular with the masses of the people of this country, the people of small and moderate incomes; if you want to make the load that is imposed upon them already heavier and heavier; if you want to exact from them an un- fair proportion of the expenses of this war—then you can do it, and do it very effectively, by adopting the amendment of the senator from Wis- consin. “His total increase is 44 per cent, 1 believe, upon incomes of over a mil- lion dollars, and yet of this 44 per cent, increase; 25 per cent. of it is levied upon incomes less than $30,000. He has, therefore, laid more than half the burden of his increases upon the highest possible incomes, not $1,000,- 000, but $10,000,000 or $20,000,000. He has added more than one-half of the increase that he makes upon all those incomes, or incomes less than $30,000. Mr. president, when the senator W dealing with these low incomes, these incomes below $30,000, he went by very close steps; he only skipped a. thousand dollars at a time, and he added another per cent. for each thousand; but when he got above $30,000 when the income began to get a little bigger, he began to make his steps a little bit higher, a little bit wider, a little bit longer.” La Follette Answers.” Senator La Follette, in a brisk re- ply to Senator Simmons, said the lat- ter appeared to be worried over put- ting heavy income taxes on those hav« the voting against , the fact is,”” Senator La Fol- lette went on, ‘“that the income. tax will effect just 350,000 people with sizeable incomes, out of 104,000,000 in the country. I ask the senator if he thinks it would produce the slacker spirit to apply a tax on these heavier incomes, while the great bulk of peo- ple will not have to pay? Why is the senator so tender about the feelings f those getting large incomes, while he has supported the taxes in this bill running to §80,000,000 on sugar, | coffee, and tea, and $15,000,000 on in- crensed postage, to say nothing of $£70,000,000 on freight rates?

Y. M. C. A ARMY HUTS OPENED IN INDIA Feature of Report Received Here From E. J. Simonds An interesting report of the activi- ties for the month of June at the Poana, India, Y. M. C. A. has been received by the authorities of the local Y. M. C. A. from E. J. Simonds, secretary of the Indian organization. Mr. Simonds is supported by the local Y. M. C. A, and the money is raised here for the work which he is carrying on in Poona. In his letter Mr. Simonds states that he wishes that ane of the directors was there to see the work that was being done as more money could be raised to pay for the buildings which are being erected. His report, in part, follows: The outstanding features of the month are the opening of the,twa new Y. M. C. A. huts at Kirkee and Pashan Camps. The Kirkee hut costing about eight thousand Rubees was a gift through General Fouler from the Western India Turf club. The Pashan hut costing Rupees four thousand five hundred was the gift of the National Council of the Y. M, C. A, per Mr. E. C. Carter. The Kirkee Camp more men at present than Pashan and as a result that hut has been more than crowded We wish every one interested in the soldiers could drop in at almost any hour of the day or evening when the men are off duty and see the crowds constantly using this hut. If a regular concert is not scheduled, the men gather around the piano and an impromptu concert and singing re- sults nearly every evening. camp have twa services in their own language. Special Welsh song book- lets have been printed for these meetings. The Association huts have also been used each week for some of the church services. A sing song and devotional service every Sunday evening after the regu- lar church services attracts a goodly number of men. The only source of. supply far home letters jn our camps is that furnished by the Associations. At present we are spending Ps: 300—for stationery every for the soldiers. (45,000 sheets.) The one outstanding need at present is for funds for easy chairs for a cosy corner far rest and reading’ stools and benches are all right for writing and games, but not for a comfortable re- laxation while reading the papers and magazines. about month the past few weeks, men coming and going so rapidly ,that the work has not become so well organized. Haw- ever, Ps: 100—per month for station- ery, (15,000 sheets) shows that the men appreciate writing home letters there. One captain said he had to censor twelve letters far one man and nine for another in one week. The Pashan tents and the secretary- in-charge had a narrow escape last week, when a petrol lamp exploded and burned one tent entirely, ruined our piano and destroyved considerable furniture and all the personal be- longings of the secretary. The prompt work of the bugler men saved the remaining tents and hut. Within 24 hours new tents were up and evervthing gaing as usual. A number of the Pashan soldiers walked five miles in order to spend a couple of hours at an afternoon tea at the home of the general secretary. The Connaught Institute or Army Branch has had a complete renova. tion. This work with many the gift of a large supply of cutlery and dishes far the supper bar has been made possible by the ladies’ committee from the Women's Wg and Relief Fund committee of Poona. Many more improvements are being planned by the ladles for the immedi- ate future. Miss Tickell has organized the supper bar in fine shape and has a large staff of ladies helping every week.

IRISH STARVED BY PRUSSIAN CAPTORS Gerard Says Germaps Have No - Love Tor Celts Chigago, Aug. 24.—Murder and or- ganized starvation are features of the welcome that the Germans give Irish prisoners captured in battle, to show the great affection the Teutons have for the Celtic race. James W. Gerard, former ambassador to Germany, yes- terday sent a message to Irishmen in Chicago, who were under the impres- sion that the Irish are great favor- ites with the Germans. “If the Irish people of -Chicago could see, as I saw, the way the Irish prisoners were treated; if they could talk with the prisoners, and if they could see the way they were dying in prison camps from starvation and tuberculosis, they would lose all sym- pathy for the Germans,” said Mr. Gerard. “American prisoners will probably be treateed about the same way. The Germans care no more about the Irish than they do abaut the English. The Irish prisoners were collected in one camp at Limberg—about 2,500 of them. The Germans sent Sir Roger Casement to the camp to enlist men for his Irish rebellion. He got about 30 to go with him. When he went back to the camp for more volunteers the Irishmen chased him away, and there was nearly a riat for a time. Irish Being Shot Down “I was given sccret inf Germans that the guard ing and killing Irish prisone: prisoner was Kkiiled even while I trying to investigate the reported murder of another Irishman The killing of one man was concealed from me, and there is no telling how many other Irishmen were shat down by their German guards. When I tried to get information I was informed that an investigation was under way, and 1 never was able to get any satisfactory explanation of the'shootings. In one case the guard was exonerated and had the charming taste to attend the funeral of his victim. I made re- peated demands to see the prisoners who were present when the men were killed, but was never able ta make any headway.” Mr. Gerard has cancelled his en- gagement to speak in Malwaukee last night, but hopes to be able to go to Minneapolis for a labor meeting to- night. He is still confined to his bed at the Blackstane hotel, and while his attack of lumbago is losing its hold his physician gave orders that his patient must not attempt to attend the Mil- waukee demonstration. Mr. Gerard has warned the United States government that it should be prepared to emeliorate the condition of United States soldiers taken prisoners by the Germans, thaugh he hopes that there will be none. “Their treatment will probably vary according to the disposition of the camp commanders,” said Mr. Gerard. “They will be victims of individual outbursts of hate, the same as the English and Irish have been. This country has a bureau to take care of the intere of the prisoners. “Ellis Dresel, who was on my staff in Berlin, now in Berne, Switzer- land, in charge of the American prison bureau. 1 have given the Red Cross a list of articles that should be secured and forwarded to the bureau for immediate use if any Americans are captured. “The Germans will not feed Ameri- can prisoners—that is, give them enough to eat—and this country must furnis food. They should also be given sweaters, heavy shoes, under- wear, overcoats, etc.” Receiver for Defunct New Britain Automobile Toncern Believes It Can Get on Its Feet Again, The Bastern Motors, Inc., estab- ose of making the days be lished for the pun Charter Oak ago declared the car, which a few was insolvent, attachment may relieved of and re- sume activities in turning out the au- | tomobiles which have been so much talked about throughout the state.
