TOO MUCH HONEY WAR TAX BILL IS REVISED Loans Extra and More Than $6,500,. 000,000 In Added Revenue Ncces- oary Shipping Board Re quirements Large. Washington, .luly HO. Secretary Mr Adoo, submitting estimates to congress for tliu new war budget, said the. first your of tliu war promised now to cost ?10,73f,S07,000, exclusive of loans to the allies, ma! Inn It necessary to raise more than $0,500,000,000 additional revenue. ' Tho war tax hill an revised by the senate finance committee provides for only n little more than .$l,r,00,000.000 In ndilltlonnl rvenue. The 5.000.000. 000 discrepancy probably will bo made up partly by Increasing the bill's levies and partly by a bond Issue. Besides tho estlmato of more than $5,000,000,000 additional expenses sub mitted by tho wn- department, Mr. Me Adoo presented estimates from other departments totaling upward of $1,000, 000,000. All these estimates are for expenditures during tho year ending next July, and arc In addition to more than $3,000,000,000 already appropri ated slnco the war began. Tho largest Items In tho. estimates nre $3r0,000,000.for tho shipping board and $288,000,000 for the navy. For the food survey to bo tnado tinder pending legislation $11,000,000 was requested. Loans to our nllles nnd possible emergencies may take tho total cost of the first year of the war up to $15,000, 000,000 or possibly $20,000,000,000.

Washington. July 27. President Wilson announced through tho federal trade commission that speculation In foodstuffs must end. Reports of federal Investigators are said to show there Is no Just basis for tho prices charged for meat and other stnples. Francis J. Honey of California, counsel for tho trade commission, Is In Washington directing tho Investi gation with Commissioner Joseph E. Davles In conjunction with tho ngrlcul tural department.

Commissioner Davles returned from Chicago, where he Inaugurated the In vestigation Into tho meat Industry. The statement authorized by tho fed eral trade commission follows: "'The Investigation by tho fedornl trade commission has Just begun.

"Another group of special agents Is examining Into tho competitive condi tions prevailing In the meat Industry. While the work has been started In Chicago, It will extend wherever the facts lead." New Burden Probably Will Be Put on Excess Profits Penrose Attacks War and Navy Departments. Washington, July 20. An American army of 1,000,000 men for service abroad at once, Instead of the 500,000 contemplated for the tlrst draft, Is fore shadowed by tho government's request for an additional $5,000,000,000 mndo to the senate flnnnce committee. The first million men nro to bo mndo up of tho first draft army of 500,000, the Natlonnl Ouard, nnd the regulars. It Is Improbable thnt the first draft will bo Increased, but the government Is arranging Its finances for other drafts without the necessity of going to congress again for money. Secretary McAdoo, committee mem bers stated, told the flnnnce commltteo It wa estlmnted that an additional credit of $2,000,000,000 to bo loaned to tho allies also would be required. In nddltlon to tho war and navy esti mates, members of the senate appropri ations commltteo said tho shipping bonrd bad already submitted estimates for additional appropriations of $500, 000,000. For tho board $SOO,000,000 already has been nuthorlzcd. In a bitter debate between Domo crnts nnd Republicans on Scnntor Pen rose's resolution to Investigate tho commltteo on public Information, Son ntor Penrose asserted that administra tion of both war and navy departments was marked by Indecision and Ineffi ciency. He proposed early Investlgn-tlon. First Year May Cost Uncle Sam Six. teen Billion Dollars. Moro Bond Issues L .....;. Washington. Estimating tliu cost nf the war for the coming year at $10.7iiri,S07,(K)0, exclusive of loans to tho nllles, the administration Informed congress that new revenues totalling $7,000,000,000 must he raised from taxation or Issuance of securities. I low congress will meet the enor mous new revenue requirements re mains to be determined, but there Is u distinct sentiment In favor of set tling most of the expenditures by bond Issues. Many leaders on both sides of the capital predict that not more than $2,000,000,000 of the $7,000,000,000 asked would be raised by taxation and thnt the ramlnder might he met partially by bond sales and partially by Issuance of treasury certificates of Indebtedness. Equipment and stores for the na tional army, particularly artillery, will require the lion's share of appropria tions under the administration's esti mates. Of the year's total of $10,735, 07.000 the wnr department alonu ex pects to spend $7,801,210,000, or $", 310,000.000 more than has been ap propriated thus far for Its expenses during the year. The navy expects to spend $1,200, 000,000, of which $2SS,000,000 remains to bo appropriated. Tho shipping board, whoso ship building projects place it third on the list, expects to spend $70!,000.000. of which $350,000, llOO remains to be appropriated. This estimates of receipts did not Include revenues to be raised under the pending war tax bill, estimated by democratic leaders In congress at $1, 070,070.000. Revision of the bill will begin immediately to embody what ever additional taxation It may be deemed best to Impose as a result of tho new estimates. Total appropriations sought by all departments aggregated $11,051,103, 093 or nearly $1,000,000,000 more than estimated expenditures. Should this sum be authorized by congress with an additional Sl'OO.OOO.OOO for the al lies, which would bo necessary to keep up tho present rate of loans totalling $500000,000 a month, tho totnl to bo raised by bond Issues nnd additional taxation for the current fiscal year would be more than $10,000,000,000.
