England to Extend Its Tax to Raise Funds.
LONDON, Kept. 21—Reginald* MacKenna, Chancellor of
the Exchequer, outlined his plans today for raising the money
necessary for carrying into completion the enormous expendi
tures which the government is contemplating. The Chancellor
said that at the close of the present fiscal year the debet of
England would he in the neighborhood of eleven billion dollars.
The head of the exchequer proposes to largely increase the
revenues from the income tax by adding forty percent to the
existing tax, and bringing within the scope of the law all in
comes in excess of $650.00 a year. As the law is at present only
incomes in excess of $750 a year are taxed. A special tax is pro
posed on all incomes arising from the manufacture of war
munitions and other essentials of the army and navy, as these
manufacturers are the biggest gainers by the present extra
ordinary conditions and MacKenna thinks that they should
therefore be the heaviest contributors to the support of the
government. rfhe Chancellor said that he thought that arms
factories should be taxed enough to keep their incomes down
to normal.

proposed tour of Bryan through the warring countries of
Europe in an effort to bring about ueace, will be discussed*.

tion his peace plans, as he intends to urge the acceptance of
bis proposals upon Germany, the Kaiser being, in his opinion
the chief figure in the matter. Bryan’s idea undoubtedly com
prises a giving back of all conquered territory, and he thinks
if Germany will agree to that his plan will be adopted by the
other powers. The jjresident has his own ideas as to what
peace plans would meet with the approval of the belligerents,
and intends to take them up with Bryan in an endeavor to se
cure the latter’s support.
