BEGIN TAX BILL HEARINGS JUNE 6; HITSJIACATIONS Congress Not Likely to Get Summer Holidays Is Belief at Capital.
WASHINGTON, D. C. May 30. Responding quickly to the president a request for a revenue bill at tnis session of congress, the house ways nnd means committee today set June 6 to begin public hearings. With the prospect that the committee -will require a long time to draw the bill, which must practically double the amount of revenue now received, the question of a summer recess of congress became serious. Representative Sherley, chairman of the appropriations committee, put a damper on the hopes of vacation enthusiasts when he said: "A recess by June 15 is out of the question. I doubt if our committee can get through with our program by August 1, the date set for return from P(i vacation. Besides, the
big army bill must yet pass the house
and then go to the senate; tne nouse must still pass the $8,000,000,000 fortiflMtinna hill, the ureent deficiency
y.iii nnrt the sundry civil bill. All of
thf mpasures necessarily must take
time. Talk of a recess in the near future is out of the question." The opinion of leaders in both houses seemed to be tonight that thorn would he no time for any con-
crmocinnQi inaf between now and
August 1. LnhhvlBta ta Be Watched
Another Interesting development to
day was the determination or benaior Overman to call again into service the lobby investigating committee which was appointed in 1913. That committen has heen dormant for several
years, but was given authority to act until March. 1919. In his revenue
TTiPssaee to congress President Wil
son said: "If lobbyists hurry to Washington to attempt to turn what you do in the matter of taxation to y,ctr- nrntnrtion or advantage, the
cht will heat also on them."
Responding to this, Senator Overman is getting ready to turn on the light. The ways and means committee and the senate finance committee also are getting ready to avert the lobby nuisance. No one will be heard by either committee who cannot show genuine credentials for those he represents. Call for Public Hearings In setting June 6 as the date to begin the public hearings on the new revenue bill, Chairman Kitchin of the committee on way3 and means said: It seems to the committee that it will be necessary to raise the necessary increased revenue chiefly from taxes upon incomes, excess or war profits, luxuries and semi-luxuries. In the preparation of the new tax measure, the committee' will give careful consideration to all suggestions with rpfprpnep to the Kuasure, together
with suggestions of other revenue sources. "In order to avoid duplication of arguments and suggestions, it is requested that persons having the same problem to present will agree upon a representative. Persons desiring to be hee.rd should, if possible, apply to the olerk of the committee previous to the date set for the hearings. -In making such application the following information should be given: Name, business address, temporary address in Washington, business or occupation, and the person, firm, corporation, or association represented, subject concerning which testimony will be given, and the amount of time desired."
"Economize to Utmost" is Plea of Wilson, to Assist Production; Buying of Thrift Stamps U rged
WASHINGTON, May SO. fo save material and labor necessary for war purposes, President Wilson today appealed to Americans "to buy only those things which are essential to the' individual health and efficiency,"
and to volunteer on or before June 28, National Thrift Day, to invest
systematically In - war savings ana thrift stamps, or other government securities. "This war Is one of nations not of armies," said the president, "and all rtf nnr innnnnnnn tipnnln must be ec
onomically and industrially adjusted
to war conditions if tnis nation is 10 play its full part in the conflict "The nrohlpm hefore us is not pri
marily a financial problem, but rather
a problem or increased proaucuon ol ... . , , r it..
war essentials ana me saving oi mo matpriala and the labor necessary for
the support and equipment or our
army and navy. "Thoughlle,ss expenditure of money for nonessentials uses up the labor of
men, the products or rarms, mines anu factories and overburdens transportation, all of which must be used to
the utmost and at their best lor war
purposes. "The great results which we seek can be obtained only by the partici
pation of every memDer or tne nation, young and old, in a national concerted thrift movement. I therefore urge
that our people everywhere pledge themselves, as suggested by the Secretary of the Treasury, to the practice of thrift; to serve the government to their utmost in increasing the production in all fields necessary to the winning of the war; to conserve food
and fuel and useful materials of every kind; to devote their labor only to the most necessary tasks; and to buy only those things which are essential to individual health and efficiency; and that the people as evidence of their loyalty, Invest all that they can save in liberty bonds and war savings stamps. "The securities issued by the Treasury Department are so many of them within th reach of everv one that the
door of opportunity in this matter is wide open to all of us. To practice
thrift in peace times is a virtue and
brings great benefit to the individual
at all times; with the desperate need of the ci.-ilized world today for materials and labor with which to end the war, the practice of Individual thrift is a patriotic duty and a necessity. "I appeal to all who now own either liberty bonds or war savings stamps
in rtTitn?ie in nrnrttoa wnnnmv and
thrift and to appeal to all who do not
own Government securities to do liKewise' and purchase them to the extent of their means. The man who buys Government securities transfers the purchasing power of his money to the United States Government until after
the war, and to that same degree does not buy in competition with the Government. "I earnastly appeal to every man, woman and child to pledge themselves on or before the 23th of June to save constantly and to buy as regularly as possible through membership in war savings societies. The 28th of June ends the special period of enlistment in the great volunteer army of production and saving here at home. May there be none unenlisted on that day."

Thrift Stamp Week In Indiafta THE fir atewide War Savings Drive in Hoosierdom begins May 27 th and ends June 3rd. During this week it is planned to sell $7,500,000 in W. S. S. At fir glance it may seem that $7,500,000 is a whole lot of money to expecft to secure in War Savings in one week. But, let us pause and consider how little $7,500,000 means to each of us when spread out over the entire state. It means $2.50 in W S. S. for every person in the state. That is all just $2.50 each. Certainly we should be able to sell an average of $2.50 per capita in one week. We can and we will if every person in Indiana does his or her duty. Of course some will buy moire than $2.50 worth many will have to in order to keep the average up---u, many Will want to do so. Because, buying W. S. S. is Patriotic and, IV. S. S. is the best investment the Government has ever offered.
Buy W. S. S. Thrift Week
