Washington. ? Doth Senate and
House adopted an amendment just before
the final roll calls which would
greatly increase the pay of enlisted
men during the war. The House provision
would make their pay $30 a
month and that approved by the Senate
would fix it at $29 a month. The
present pay is only $15.
In the House at the last moment.
Chairman Fitzgerald, of the Appropriations
Committee, objected vigorously
to the appropriation of $3,000,000,000
carried in the bill for the expense
of the new army, and the section
finally was eliminated entirely.
Mr. Fitzgerald declared that to place
this vast sum in the hands of the
Secretary of War would make of Con
gress a "mere automaton," and promised
that if the section was voted down
the committee wquld provide funds
promptly in a separate measure
Among the amendments adopted in
the Senate was one which would permit
Colonel Roosevelt to recruit a
volunteer force for service in France.
A similar proposal had been rejected
by the House. Speaker Clark. Democratic
Leader Kitchin and Chairman
Dent, of the Military Committee, who
had favored the volunteer system, all
voted for the draft bill on the final
roll call. Republican Leader Mann
also was recorded in the affirmative,
as was Miss Rankin, who previously
had voted with the volunteer advacates.
Test in Senate.
The Administration won its fight for
the military draft in the Senate when
an amendment authorizing a cay for
600,000 volunteers was reject^ by a
vote of 69 to 18. The vot? was as
follows: f

After the McKellar amendment had
been rejected. Senator Trammell re
opened the draft question by offering
an amendment proposing to substitute
the volunteer system throughoul
the bill. It was rejected by an over
whelming roar of "noes."
In the House there was no roll call
The long fight came to a close early
in the afternoon when Representative
Kahn, of California, moved to strike
out the volunteer provision written in
to the bill by hte House Military Com
mittee. As the result of the voting
became apparent, the members of the
galleries broke into cheers, while
Speaker Clark. Chairman Dent of the
Military Qommittee, Chairman Pad
gett. of the Naval Committee, anc
other Democrats, who had fought the
administration's plan, sat silently ir
their seats.
Democratic Leader Kitchin, wh<
had expected to vote against con
scription. responded to the call foi
a quorum just before, but was noi
present for the vote on the amend
raent. Miss Rankin, of Montana
voted with the volunteer advocates.
Throughout the remainder of th(
House debate pro-volunteer members
frequently reopened discussion of theii
proposal, the climax coming wher
Speaker Clark declared he might drivi
out of his district some of those whc
had urged that he vote for conscrip
ion.

Senator Harding's amendment t<
the army bill designed to permit Col
onel Roosevelt to raise four infantr:
divisions to go to the European bat
tie front was adopted by the Senate
56 to 31. Many Democrats voted fo:
the amendment.
The announcement as adopted doei
not specifically mention Col. Roose
velt, but its purpose has been well un
derstood and its author referred t(
the fact that it would permit the form
er president to raise troops to go t<
Europe. It was not discussed a
length.
Senators Ashurst, Broussard, Groe

South Dakota; Kirby, McKellar, My
ers, Owen, Pomerene, Ransdell, Reed
Robinson, Saulsbury, Thompson, Var
daman and Williams, Democrats, sup

more important amend
ments adopted in the House was on<
empowering the president to exemp
from the draft, in his discretion, per
sons engaged in. agricultural work
Another would require each state U
furnish a quota of men apportlonec
according to population, and still an
other provides that "no bounty shal

' permitted or ^allowed to furnish t

' In the Senate there was a long d?

or nossession of intoxicating liquor
" during the war. Several amendment
' were adopted, including one to mak

" officers or men in uniform or to mem

1 then the Senate reversed itself am
' adopted a substitute simply forbiddin
the sale of liquor to soldiers in un

' prohfbition regulations.
An amendment by Senator Curti
stipulating that men subject to dral
? who voluntarily present themselve
shall be recorded as volunteers, wa

and went into the bill.

LOWER INCOME EXEMPTION
Increase of Excess Profits Tax Is Another
Proposal of Sub-Committee.?

Traffic, etc.
Washington.?A war revenue measure
designed to raise not less than
>1,500,000,000 by direct taxes during
the coming year was reported to the
House Ways and Means Committee
ruesday by a sub-committee which
iad been drafting the bill in secret
iessions.
Reduction of the income tax exemp:ions
from $3,000 and $4,000 to $1,000
xnd $2,000 for single and married persons,
respectively, and an Increase of
:he excess profits tax from eight per
cent on all amounts over eight per
cent and $5,000 to sixteen per cent
ire two of the sub-committee's proposals.
The tentative bill also carries increased
taxes on liquor, beer, cigars,
cigarettes and tobacco, new taxes on
lutomobiles, soft drinks, ammunition
places, freight and passenger tariffc
ind a stamp tax of wide scope. Much
if the bill follows the lines suggested
jy Secretary McAdoo, but many of
:he most important proposals are reacted.
The total of the proposed bill falls
Billions of dollars short of the orignal
figure of $1,800,000,000 to be de-ived
from taxes this year.
Fordney Responsible.
Opposition of Representative Fordley,
of Michigan, ranking Republican
uember of the committee, to raising
nore than $1,000,000,000 by direct
axes is largely responsible for this
jituation.
A bitter fight on the bill in full
committee is certain. Resentment
imong some members aroused by the
prolonged executive meetings of the
committee, coupled with vigorous opposition
to the income and excess
profits tax proposals, make storms injvltable.
A new cloud also has appeared In
:he threat of a Republican member to
lemand doubling of the present one
cent duty on sugar.
Secrecy, which has marked sub-comnittee
conferences, will rule in the

Whether Congress finally would ac- *

25 should be liable to. the draft was ^
