LEVIES ON SUGAR,

URGEDJ HOUSE
Wealthy Persons Taxed to lit
jjiost Limit by War Revenue
Bill, Declares Repre
sentative Longworth.
Washington, Sept, 10 DeUte on
the war revenue bill continued today
in the house with1 members of the
vtyi and means committee delivering
prepared speeches in which they criti
cised some feature of the measure,
but promised to vote for it on final
passage.
Leaden plan to end general discui
;ak Thnri.t and take tin the bill
fcndsy for amendments. In the meari
time, the ways and means committee
will consider special amendments to
facilitate the sale of liberty bonds,
which were suggested today by the
Treasury department.
Representative Hull ot jennesscc,
democrat, author of the present in
come tax law, Longworth of Ohio and
Green of Iowa, republican members
of the ways and means committee,
'.spoke today. Representative Cara
way of Arkansas, democrat, attacked
the proposal that a tax be placed on
cotton.
In the senate finance committee
senators criticised the excess profits
rates. Effect of prohibition legisla
tion also was brought up.
Representative Hull told the house
the nation's tax budget after the war
will be $4,QtX))000.(HH) annually and
warned that little of this can be made
up by tariff rate increase. He urged
consumption levies on sugar, coffee,
tea, silk and rubber.
Declaring, that wealthy persons are
taxed to "the absolute limit' by the
bill,. Representative Longworth said
that, for the future increased revenue
taxti on necessary articles of daily
consumption must be resorted to. lie
predicted that these taxes may have
to be imposed sooner than congress
had expected because of pending war
time prohibition legislation, which, he
estimated, would reduce federal rev
enue by $1,500,000,000.
. Mr. Longworth also said that the
president's order stopping the manu
facture of beer after December 1,
would canse. a loss of $500,000,000 in
revenue between that date and the
. time the "dry" legislation becomes effective.
W CALL YOUTHS
AND MEN 31 TO 36
Cntlnu4 FrM Iaf On)
1917 out of more than 3.000,000 reg
istrants called, only-440,000 filed oc
cupational claims, or 47 per cent; thus
95 per cent of all registrants raised no
question of such deferment.
V Will Welcome Advice. ,
"Th hoard will itA kit that thrv
possibly 'can, on tkeir own initiative,
to" reach a iust decision bv a com-
',' plete examination of the question
naires even where no claim ia ex
pressly made. Nevertheless the
boards will welcome and will need
all the aid that can be furnished by
the indication of a claim made for
deferment. " v-
"But.who'is to make that claim?
Ordinarily, the registrant himself will
indicate the claim on his question
naire. -But, if through mistaken chiv
alry, he should fail to do so, another
may make it for him. In industry,
agriculture or other occupation this
person will naturally be his employer
or some other representative of his
associated group. . -
."The employer in this situation rep
resents the nation because in the stat
utory phrase, 'the maintenance of the
military establishment or of the na
tional interest during the emergency'
requires that some well-advised third
person should look after that na
tional interest which the registrant
himself may not have sufficiently
considered.
Dry Day Draws Near

Washington, Sept. 10. Wartime
prohibition moved a step nearer to

wine until Mav 1. 1919. as reauested
yesterday by the Italian government

DEBS DECLARED
OPPOSED TO WAR
PROGRAM OF U. S.
Socialist Candidate's Speech at
Canton, 0., Basis of Charge
of Disloyalty to the
Government.
Cleveland, O.. Sept. 10. The gov
ernment revealed its case against
Euirene V. Debs, socialist leader,
charged with violation of the espion
age act, today in the United States
district court. District Attorney
Wert said he would complete his
evidence tomorrow.
According to witneses Debs pre
faced his' remarks at the meeting at
Canton, O., with the' statement, "I
must be careful what I say and more
careful how I say it." His speech on
this occasion is the basis of the gov
ernment's case.
His alleged offense is that by insinu
ation in this speech it was his intent
to affirm the "war program". adopted
by the socialist party at St. Louis in
June, 1917. This program was ap
proved by a party referendum and is
outspoken in opposing the war and
pledges the party to oppose conscrip-
tion- . . ,
Although in his speech Mr. Debs
evaded direct affirmation of the "war
program," witnesses were introduced
to show that this was really what he
intended to convey.

Gift From Father in
Mysterious Package
Fools Police Officer
Sergeant S. L. Morris of the Omaha
police force received a small and mys
terious looking package Tuesday
with a London postmark.
Thoughts of bombs and infernal
machines flashed through the doughty
sergeant's mind. He even fancied
that he heard a slow and faint ticking
within the package.
At last he mustered up enough cour
age carefully to undo the wrappings
and to open the parcel. Within he
found the watch and chain which he
remembered since boyhood as one of
his father's most cherished posses
sions. "My father bought it in 1852," said
Sergeant Morris, "and carried it
through the whole ' of the Crimean
war. I always wanted it, and just
before I left England for the United
States 30 years ago, he promised it
to me. Father is just 98 years old and
I shall probably never receive another
gift from him. I believe tht he paid
8 for.it, or $40 in American money."
The watch is of an old English
make, and both it and the chain are
of silver.

mon stock, this capitalization being
the same as that of the old Harvester

poration was organized to take over
the foreign business and "new lines"
of the company.
The action follows negotiations be
tween the companies and the Depart
ment of Justice in respect to the re

cerns in connection with the govern
ment's anti-trust suit litigation against

YEAR'SPROGRAM
Large Attendance Expected at
Meeting to Outline Admin
istration's Plans to
Chairmen.
Various phases of food administra
tion work in Nebraska wilt be dis
cussed at the meeting of county food
administrators today at Hotel Fon
tenelle by Gurdon W. Wattles, fed
eral food administrator for Nebraska;
A. C, Lau, deputy administrator; E.

tary, and E. V. Farrish, director of
education.
Every county in the state and every
state-wide committee will be repre
sented at the meeting, according to
the announcement of the federal food
administration for Nebraska.
That the meeting is attracting un
usual attention among the county food
administrators is shown by the ac
ceptance of invitations. Heretofore,
the attendance has not been as gen
eral as desired, but today's meeting
will more than make up for past de
ficiencies in this regard.
Mr. Wattles will preside and will
outline the work for the winter, after
reviewing conditions as they are seen
in Washington.
He will urge1 greater voluntary ac
tivity on the part of the Nebraska citi
zens and will tell the county heads
that the program for the winter, while
not requiring the strenuous conser
vation of the past, will have to ac
complish even more than before. But
it must be accomplished through
awakened consciousness on the part
of the people and not through dras
tic restrictions.
