A new system of graduated inheri­ tance taxes was written into the bill in lieu of the house plan and despite the senate's rejection of such taxes. The new rates on inheritances, with those of Americans in military service exempted, range from one-half of 1' per cent on $50,000 estates to 10 per cent on estates of $10,000,000 and more. The bulk of the increases of between $250,000,000 and $300,000,000 made by the conferees in the senate bill was secured from the postage, public utili­ ties and manufacturing sales section and the new Inheritance taxes. With but few exceptions, the new taxes are effective with the passage of the act. Senate Version Stands. y The Income tax section was adopted virtually as written by the senate. The new 2 per cent normal tax on incomes of more than $2,000 for married per­ sons and $1,000 for single persons is in addition to the present law exempt­ ing incomes of less than $3,000 for sin­ gle persons and $4,000 for married per­ sons. Thus those between the new low exemption bases and the present ex­ emptions will pay only the 2 per cent tax. but single persons having an in­ come of $3,000 or more and married persons whose income is $4,000 or more Would pay the full 4 per cent normal tkx. The senate income provision allow­ ing an a'dditional exemption of $200 for each dependent child to heads of families subject to the present law was retained. The exemption for children, however, does not apply to those sub­ ject to the new reduced taxes with the $2,000 and $1,000 exemptions, respec­ tively, for married and single per­ sons. 8urtax Is Agreed Upon. Surtaxes were agreed upon as fol­ lows: One per cent on income over $5,000 and less than $7,500 ; 2 per cent be­ tween $7,500 and $10,000 ; 3 per ce'nt between $10,000 and $12,500; 4 per cent between $12,500 and $15,000 ; 5 per cent between $15.000 and $20,000 ; 7 per cent between $20,000 and $40,000; 10 f>er 18 per cent between $80,000 and $100,- per cent between $60,000 and $80,000; 18 per cent betwene $80,000 and $100,- 000; 22 per cent between $100,000 and $150,000 ; 25 per cent between $150,000 and $200,000; 30 per cent between $200,000 and $250,000 ; 34 per cent be­ tween $250,000 and $300,000; 37 per cent between $300,000 and $500,000; 40 per cent between $500,000 and "$750,- 000 ; 45 per cent between $75Q,000 and $1,000,000, and 50 per cent on incomes exceeding $1,000,000. Increased Tax on Whiaky. Increased senate rates on whisky and beer were virtually retained, and that on wines somewhat reduced. The tax on distilled spirits was made $2.10 per gallon when for beverage use and $1 less for industrial purposes, esti­ mated to raise $135,000,000. The amendment prohibiting importation of distilled spirits for beverage use \?as retained. Floor taxes to reach with­ drawn liquors were approved. Beer was taxed $1.50 per barrel additional, to raise $46,000,000, an Increase of 25 cents per barrel over the house rate. Present wine taxes were doubled. Taxes on nonalcoholic beverages were compromised. On prepared sirups and extracts the taxes gradu-.- ated from 5 to 20 cents instead of from 3 to 12 cents a gallon were adopted. Grape juice and other soft drinks are taxed 1 cent per gallon, as provided by the senate Jn reducing the original 2-cent rate of the house. Senate rates on clgars«nd cigarettes were retained, but those on snuff were will be allowed to charge the con­ sumer, but the gross margin which the retail dealer will be allowed to add to the average wholesale cost of his coal in making retail prices. The retail dealer will be allowed to sell coal to the consumer at a price representing an advance of not more than 30 per cent over the retail gross margin of 1915. In no case, however, is the gross margin from now on to exceed thy gross margin of July, 1917. If, for example, a retail coal dealer bought a particular kind of coal in that no better war tax bill than the one now presented ever has been draft­ ed in any country. "We had before us virtually all past bills of this country and many of those drawn in foreign countries since this war began, and this Is A* better measure than any of them," he said.

Corporations, partnerships and Individuals having no capital stock would pay a flat rate of S per cent on net profits In excess of $3,000 for corporations and $6,000 for individuals and partnerships. Miscellaneous income tax amend­ ments inserted by the senate were generally adopted, including the so- cnlled Jones amendment for a tax of 10 per cent on corporations' Indls- trlbuted surplus, wfthodt allowance for income taxes paid. The 10 per cent tax would not apply to undis­ tributed income actually invested or employed in business or invested in federal securities after September 1, 1917, and 5 per cent penalty for sur­ plus retained but not employed is pro­ vided. In making provision for Administra­ tion and collection of the new and existing taxes the conferees provided that the special tax of 12% per cent on war munitions manufactures shall be reduced to 10 per cent, but re­ tained to January 1, J918. It now yields about $29,000,000 annually tfnd the senate had proposed Its repeal. 1915 at on average of $2 a ton and sold it to the consumer at $3 a ton. his gross margin was $1.

Haywood and 35 other lead­ ers. AH the men were taken to the fed­ eral building. The arrests followed the return of Indictments by die federal grand jury before Judge Evan Evuns, In which 168 persons were named. Among the leaders of the JL W. W. arrested in the 1 aid were: William D. Haywood, general secre­ tary and treasurer; Richard Brazier, Chicago, "Spokane and elsewhere," member of general executive board; George Andreychlne, Chicago, "Duluth and elsewhere," manager publicity bu­ reau, Chicago; Ralph H. Chaplin, edi­ tor and manager Solidarity; Vladimir Lossleff, Chicago; Bert Lorton, Chi­ cago manager Recruiting Union; Charles Rothfisher, editor A Berguin- kas, Chicago and Cleveland; Cburles Plahn, Chicago and Detroit; Herbert Mahler, Seattle and Chicago. The evidence presentetl-to the grand jury revealed a far-reaching plot to obstruct the government in its prose­ cution of the war. "The astonishing feature which stands out at the conclusion of the In­ vestigation and which Is well calcu­ lated to make patriotic persons shud­ der with alarm is found In tlie dis­ closure of the number of men enjoying the protection of the government who are so far unmindful of social duties and obligations as to openly advocate the most vicious forms of sabotage, particularly in industries engaged In furnishing war munitions," says the report of the grand jury. * "The activities of th£sg defendants have been directed against what thejr conceive or pretend to conceive, to be the misguided attitude of the world at large toward persons not possessed of property, the result being thut this time of gene&l stress and strain has been seized upon because, as they in­ sist, the opportunity was here and now presented to make effective these se­ cret and covert processes of destruc­ tion which they traitorously employed while pretending to work. "Boiled down and stated In a few words, the propaganda of those defend­ ants .consists of these assertions: 'We are going to take possession of the In­ dustries of this country. 1. Because we want them. 2. Because we need them. 3. Because we are in this crisis possessed of tlie power to put It over.' "In addition, there is running through all these endeavors a pro­ nounced opposition to the support of the war in which this country is en­ listed.'
