Western Machine and Foundry PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA THE HOUSE MAY VOTE ON FINANCE BILL FRIDAY Little Opposition to Measure Provid ing $7,000,000,000 War Revenue. Quantity and Classification of War Taxes Gives Greatest Concern. urn PATitsoTie GIVEN AT oaies9 Hal II SATURDAY EVENING, 44lh Watch This Space for Further Announcement. Washington, D. C, April 11. As suranees that the $7,000,000,000 war revenue measure will pass the house quickly and that consideration of new taxation plans will begin immediately were given President Wilson and Sec retary MeAdoo today by congressional leaders. Introduction in the house of the revenue bill authorizing a $r,000,000, 000 bond issue and a $2,000,000,000 certificate of indebtedness preceded an unexpected visit of the president to the capitol by a few minutes today. Democratic Leader Kitchin introduced the measure, with a favorable report from the full committee and an nounced that debate on it would be gin Friday morning at 11 o'clock. It s hoped to pass the bill before Sat urday night, and possibly on Friday. In evolving a new taxation plan for raising revenue to meet the certifi cates of indebtedness, however, much trouble is expected in getting "repub licans and democrats together. The first big question is what amount of revenue shall be raised by immediate taxation. The generally accepted plan has been to divide equally the cost of the first year of the war, roughly esti mated at from $3,750,000,000 to $4,- 000,000,000, between the bonds and taxes, but the president has expressed himself as desirous of placing as much of the burden on the present genera tion as possible, and some members of congress are advocating the raising of 75 per cent of the first year needs by taxation. Administration and congressional eaders generally are determined that the tax shall not be of a class char acter regardless of the amount. His tory, they said, shall not designate this as either a poor or a rich man's war. House financial authorities are con sidering proposals to raise new rev enue on increased income stamp tax and taxes of excess profits, inherit ances, distilled liquors and beers, ci gars and tobacco, amusement places, the postal service, soft drinks, and newspaper, billboard and other advertising. Probably the most far-reaching pro posal yet suggested is that the postal charges be raised. It has been pro posed that the present 1-cent rate for drop and circular letters be raised to 1V or 2 cents and the regular 2-cent rate to 3 cents. No tax suggested, it is argued in favor of this proposal, would reach so many persons and be objected to by so few. In connection with this postal pirn is another to tax newspapers and periodicals in proportion to the amount of advertising they carry. LATIN-AMERICA TO STRIKE REAL BLOW See Genuine German Catastrophy in Break By South American Republics. Geneva, April 11. The Journal de Geneva commenting on the report that several of the South American republics will follow the lead of the United States in breaking with Ger many said: The essential factor is in the pro gressive expulsion of Germany from all continents today. Even if the Brit ish fleet did not exist, the Germans would not have a port of call outside Europe, except Siam. For an over populated and over-productive counry which lives by exportations and which would die' if forced to fall back on it self, the loss of South America com ing after that of China is a genuine catastrophy. "It has often been said, "in war vic tory alone counts,' but it is no longer true. The future counts more. Ger many is victorious in Europe, but shut out of the rest of the world." A NECESSITY Mrs. Collier Says Could Net Keep House Without Black-Draught. Most disfiguring skin eruptions, scrofula, pimples, rashes, etc., are due to impure blood.' Burdock Blood Bit ters as a cleansing blood tonic, is well recommended. -$1.00 .at all stores. Hardin, Mo. Mrs. J. W. Collier, of this town, who knows from experience of the merit of Black-Draught Liver Medicine, has following to say for publication: "I want to let everybody know that I have used Thedford's Black-Draught for manyyears, and it is just what is claimed for it. I am never without Black-Draught, and really I couldn't keep house without it. Whenever I feel bad, I take a small dose, and feel better right away. I advise everybody who suffers from liver or stomach trouble to use Black-Draught Liver Medicine." For three-quarters of a century (75 years), Thedford's Black-Draught has been regulating irregularities of the liver, stomach and bowels, and has long been recognized as the standard remedy. It is a fixture in thousands of homes as the main stay of the fam ily medicine chest.
