Now that the war tax Bill has been | actod _upeni by the . senate and nt;: measure, is desigmed to over $3,400,000,000, has been approved by the upper house, there remains much t6 be dous before the provisions of this grest money raising plece of legislation will be put into effect. It was way back last May that the house passed what it consldered an adequate war tax bill but that aid not call for the raising of as large a sum by a half billion doliars se doss the ®bill which has received the ap- proval of the senate. The upper house has made many cbanges. Tt has spent months fn. déliberating upon what should be tamed and what should not,be faxed and how severe the taxation should be. The conser- vatives won over the radicals but even so the bill put through varies tly from the house Bill. The matter will now have to go to conference. There 1t can be expected that another fight will be made by those who stand for mueh higher rates on war profits, and it {s met unlikely fhat the house conferees will let it be kno that they de.mot think much of the move which the senate has made in ursugping its right to originate a taxation measure. 3 The situation is such, however, that it must be realized by congress that the country {s zolng to need all the money that will be thus ‘raised to KEEP PHE SCHOOLS OPEN. With the demand which is being made for workers and for young men in the army, it has Jeng been appre- clated that {t could not fail to have a perceptible effeet upon the attend- ance at school especially'at the high- or institutions of learning.

By this anendment the contribu- tions or gifts actually made during the year to corporations or associa- tions organized and operated exclu- sively for religlous, charjtable, sclen- an amount not in excess of 15 per cent. of the taxpayer's taxable net income shall be allowed as deduec- tions. in making up the income tax returns. . It can be appreciated that if gifts which might be made for charitable or educational purposes were to be held for taxation umder the income not be regarded as a step which will result in a general move to increase such gifts in order to escape the in- come tax for tiht would result n a greater expenditure by far than would result by paying the tax. It does, however, leave the sitnation about as Jt is at the present tims as regards the riving for such purposes and it is believed that the house will recog- nize the justice thereof. EDITO!
