That, in case of war, all net incomes of 85.000 or over shall be subject to the following annual graduated war contributions: On all net incomes from $5,000 to $10,0OO, a contribution of 2J per cent. On adl incomes over S10.OO0 a year, a contribution increasing on a sliding scalo beginning at 10 per cent and rising to a point which will permit of no individual retaining an annual net income in excess of S10O.OCO, during the war. 2. That no war supplies or war service, including transportation.

shall be furnished to the Government at a net profit of more than 31 per cent. 3. That no wholesale or retail dealer shall sell food or other basic necessities cf life during the war at a profit larger than 6 per cent. ' 4. That intentional failure to supply the Government writli correct figures as to incomes and profits on such sales and service shall be a I felony, punishable by imprisonment. 5. That any individual or corporation who knowingly fnrnishes the j G-overnment with defective war supplies shall be guilty of a felony, punishabls by imprisonment.
