HOUSE WORKING ON
GREATEST REVENUE
j BILL IN ALL HISTORY
it'itnllniird from I'm One)
paying all the taxes levied hy this
hill, hig as they may he, hard as they
mav he, will still have more than
$8.000.0(H1,000 more than it had he
fore the war, and $1,500,000,000
with which to pay dividends."
Mr. Kitchin said the United States
could finance the war hy taxation
better than C.reat liritain, France
and (lermanv combined could. He
said the time might come when high
consumption taxes would be nec
essary and if it ever did come the
American people wou!d be ready to
give up all profits and all incomes
over living expenses to win the war.
In taking up the bill by sections,
the chairman explained the income
tax, and replying to questions said a
married member of congress would
pay 4470 out of his salary of $7,500.
"How about a single member?"
asked Representative Denison of Ill
inois.
"For being unmarried, you must
pay $550" rejoined Mr. Kitchin.
Greater surtaxes on income were
not provided by the bill, Mr. Kitchin
said in answer to Representative
Moore of Pennsylvania, because high
er rates the maximum now being
65 per cent on incomes of $5,000,000
tni:ht cause the purchase of tax-free
securities, and also adversely afTect
the market for government bonds
The largest income of anv American
citien, he added, is $JO,(MM).000.

chance to the destruction squads in
Fins.
British posts west of the Canal Du
Xord, north of Jnchy, have been
pushed forward, but patrols on the
west bank of the canal were heavily
fired upon from the east bank. One
of the British patrols crawled across
a damaged bridge and came upon an
enemy outpost asleep. The British
pounced upon the sleeping Germans
and captured three.
Using Up Gas Shells.
In the north, where the British are
reported to be making advances, more
fires are raging. In many places
north of the Sensee river the Ger
mans for several hours have been
firing thousands of gas shells, so in
discriminately as to make it appear
that they are trying to get rid of
them.
A number of fires have been re
ported in the area south of the Es-taires-Armentieres
road. There have
been three counter-attacks against
Hill 63 and the surrounding positions.
Two of those broke down completely,
but during the third, north of the
hill, the British were compelled to
fall back slightly.
Further north the British reacHied
the crest of the important ridge
northwest of Wulvergheni, but were
unable to make further progress for
a time because of the heavy enemy
machine, gun and trench mortar fire.
Still further north piece after piece
of ground is being regained. The
British have reached Canteleaux and
are pushing on toward Violaines.
Weak enemy counter-attacks south of
I'loegsteert were easily smothered.
German Machine Gun
Defense Fails to Slow
Up Pace of Americans
American Headquarters in France
Sept. 6. (Reuter's.) The Germans
are across the river Aisne and this
time they made no attempt to veil
their retirement or even exact ordin
ary penalties for the advance of the
Americans. The opposition which
they put up between the Vesle and
the Aisne was slight.
The Aisne region was illuminated
last night by stores and villages set
afire by the Germans to celebrate
their final retirement from this part
of their captured territory.
The machine guns left behind to
check the American advance were
quite Inadequate even to slow up the
pace. Further east the French are
up against stiffer resistance, but the
Americans everywhere have gained
the crest of the hills.
Library Course Reduced.
The training class at the public li
brary has just completed its course.
At a board meeting Thursday, at
which all members were present ex
cept Mrs. C. N. Dietz, who is out ot
the city, another class, to begin at
once, was authorized.
This will be an intensive training
class, the time being but three
months for the entire course. This
was made necessary by the increas
ing vacancies by employes entering
war work of various kinds.
ANied Force Victorious
In Battle in North Russia
London, Sept. 6. A British official
communication dealing with the op
erations of the allied forces in the
region around Archangel, Russia,
says:
"After further severe hand to hand
fighting with an enemy forceed by
Germans, the allied troops occupied
Obozerska yesterday. Prisoners to
the number of 150 were captured and
heavy losses were inflicted on the
enemy,"
