"By virtue of the neutrality we have

Washington, Sept. 4-"We shall

sion of congress, his appeal for an t
emergency internal reivuue measure1
to rslcj SlOO.O?e.OOO. iho government's
probable loss* in customs receipts be
cause ?of the. European var. Prompt
action was necessary, thc p.eaiOent
said, "to keep the treasury strong."
?His only suggestion as to the method
for levying tba tax was that sources
bc chosen that -would "begin to yield
at once and with a certain nnd con
stant flow.'*
The appeal met with quick action.
AB soon as the president bad left the
hons',, chamber "amidst an outburst of
applause. Speaker Clark referred the
measure io tlie way: and means com
mittee. D?mocratie members of the
committee met tonight at tho call of
the chairman, .-Representative Under

arrange the additional revenue. Var
ious members sugested sources which
they believed-would be properly sub
jected io additional taxation On the
Hst suggested Were;
Taxativas Saggested:
Gasoline, a tax of one or two cents
a gallon; railroad and amusement
tickets, a tax of five to 10 per cent;
beer, an increases of !>0 cents a barrel;

of 15 cents a gai on; proprietary' ar

President Wilson was given an en
thusiastic greeting when he entered
the house chamber escorted by Sena
tors Kern, Clarke and Galltnger, and 1
Representatives Underwood, Fit* ger
ald and Mann. The president said he
had come to discharge a duty he wish
ed he could avoid, but made lt plain
that additional revenue was necessary
and that he performed his duty with
out, hesitation or apology.
'.'Unforeseen conditions occasioned "
by the conflict m Europe, be staid, had
created conditions which unless dealt .
With promptly might involve conse
quences of the moat embarrassing

money, the president urged, was un
wise; bond issue would , make an "na*
timely and'unjustifiable" demand up
on money markets, leaving taxation
as tho only method left to raise rev
enue, ?'< In this connection he appealed
"to the profoundly patriotic people ot
'the country*' to take up the burden.

pointed out that if sew revenue leg

necessary io -withdraw fro^i the nat
