BIGGEST TAX BILL
'WASHINGTON, I>, C., Sept. 10.—
The Biggest tax hill in the history
ol' the nation, aril even then wholly
inadequate to me, t anything hut
the merest fraction < f the national
wai expenditures will ! a passed
today. The hill rai s two hillion
five hundred thousand in ad
dition to one billion three
hundred and thirty million
laired by the existing laws. It takes
one billion excess profits fcr the
year, it annexes eight hundred and
forty two million front incomes and
in addition to these imposes
liquor, tobacco, stamp and con
sumption taxes which amount is ex
pected to reach four hundred mil
lion.
It i' > i‘ s income taxes on single
nun of a fifteen hundred yearlj
.ir.d on married men of two thou
. a id.
:t takes li ilf of fifty millions
from Rockefeller's fifty million dol
lar income.
It is not a bill in favor of the
poor man The huge war profit
taxes art hardly tom lied. The
higher incomes do not give nearly
as much as was anticipated, and
the effoit to make capital ot the
fact of Rockefeller's imone being
taxed fifteen per cent of fifty mil
lions is very little likely to mislead j
when it is realized that the income I
| itself is likely to he closer to a
billion dollars fro.n oil sources
alone.
The consumption taxes will occa
sion a great outcry an.l the failure
to increase the war profit fixation
more is likely to prove the subject
ol' quite general agitation.
The more progressive pipers ami
all with a radical tendency are
getting out articles calculated to
belittle then taxation policy of the
members of Congress as reaiirecl
in the bill.

flung in sleeves of men against the

the severity of which reminded one
of the desperate fighting in this
region over a year ago.
All day the vast armies of the
Crowm Prince were plunged against
the French positions but they were
still holding them this evening after
repelling the Germans with great
losses.
The Germans made no gains, says
the evening communique, on this
se tor today.
LONDON, Sept. 10.—It is con
ceded in today's dispatches that

EYES OF THE ttOKl.l)
REPEATED TONIGHT.
Tonight will be the last chance
to see “The Eyes of the World”
which played to capacity at the
Dream last night. The furious hand
to hand combat of two rivals for
the hand of a girl on one of Cali
fornia’s highest cliffs. This scene
alone is worth the price of admis
sion. See the kidnapping of Sibyl
Audrcs, and the wild chase of the
forest ranges in search of her.
Thrill after thrill follows in rapid
succession until the climax which
finally brings one of the best ro
mances to a sweet end. The music
by the “Powell Kids” was a treat
and received much applause. One

and base for all future operations
against the Slavs.

The greatest interest centers itt
the opening ot fighting on the Ma

to divert immediate present time
attention from Rumania. The ease
with which the Bulgars relin
quished some important positions
