I STAMP TAX WILL TAKE
PLACE OF FREIGHT TAX
Democrats Frame a Kill to Raise
the Emergency Revenue.
AS IN THE SPANISH WAR.
Follow Same Plan Followed in
1HOH? Figured System Will
Halve $105,000,000.
Washington, Sept. 15.?Abandoning
the proposed tax on freight transportation,
Democrats of the House
caucus tonight agreed to a war revenue
measure to include the Spanish
War stamp tax on commericat and
legal papers, the Spanish War tax on
hankers and brokeVs, a tax on theatres
and other amusement places, a
tux or two rents a gallon on gasoline,
a special tax on tobacco manfacturers
and dealers and a tax on domestc
wines and beer.
The caucus adopted a resolution
directing the Ways and Means Committte
to draft a bill along these lines
President Wilson having approved
the plan at a conference with Majority
Leader Underwood and Senator
Simmons late today. The committee
also was given authority to revise
details of the Spanish War tax in its
discretion.
Expected wide disagreements
which threaten to embarrass the administration
did not develop in the
caucus.
Representative Underwood announced
that the proposed hill would
yield an estimated revenue of $105000,000;
the stamp tax to yield $36,000.000;
special taxes on hankers
and brokers $5,800,000; special tax
on tobacco dealers $4,000,000, an increased
tax on beer of 50 cents a barrel,
$32,500,000; gasoline $20,00,000,
dry wines at 12 cents a gallon
and sweet wines at 20 cents a gallon
$8,000,000.
Representative Page of Nortli
Carolina opened the attack on the
proposed freight tax and submitted
a resolution designed to prevent its
being included in any war revenue
bill.
Debate on the resolution was extended.
Representative Underwood
related the substnce of a conference
hold a few hours before with Prosi dent
Wilson and Senator Simmons In
which the President hud expressed
the opinion that action in the war
revenue should be quick and decisive.
Mr. Underwood told his colleagues
that a break with the President
over the pending Issue would not be
well for the Democratic party nor
the country.
The leader's speech brought the
Democrats into an amicable framo of
mind, although the spirit of antagonism
to any war tax had been uppermost
before the caucus met.
Representative Page withdrew his
resolution of instructions to the ways
and means committee and Mr. Underwood'outlined
to the caucus the alternative
plan, which was promptly
approved.
The Spanish war special taxes were
as follows:
Ranks with capital and surplus
not exceeding $25,000 to pay a tax
of $50 and $2 additional for each additional
S 1.000 of caDltal: stock and
bond brokers $50; pawnbrokers $20;
commercial brokers $20; customs
house brokers $10; proprietors of
theatres, museums and concert halls
In cities of more than $25,000 population
$100; circusses $100 in each
state where performances are Riven;
all other public amusemeitt places
$10; bowling alleys and billiard halls
J 5 a table or alley. The tax on tobacco
dealers and manufacturers
ranges from $6 to dealers in lenf/^obacco
doing an annual business not
exceeding $50,000 to $24 on cigar
dealers doing a business in excess of
$200,000 a year.
The proposed stamp tax will include
bills of lading, telegraph and
(long distance telephone messages.
A resolution Introduced by Representative
Hobson to postpone consideration
of a war tax until the December
session was voted down.

Once more we hear the word

Once more it knits mankind;
