THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM. THURSDAY, SEPT. 12, 1918. BRINGING UP FATHER By McManus specifically called to other and clearlymore important duty." . The purpose of extending the draft ages, eaid the president, is partly in order that the government may select -the men for military service which are 4 not needed In activities which those' In authority deem most necessary. A cheer campaign is being carried out by the Red Cross home service workers in following up cases where boys in France have not received letters from home for long intervals, by gently and tactfully "nudging the conscience" of the folks at home. One of the greatest works which the home service of the Red Cross can do is to gradually aid in knitting together the home ties which have become lax, and the morale of the boys in France is greatly benefited by this work.

Opening prices, which ranged from to lMi lower with October 153 ft to 154 and Nov. 152' to 153, were followed by decided further losses all around. Oats followed corn down grade. Commission houses were the chief sellers. After opening to ofT, with October 71 to 714 the market became relatively steady. Provisions weakened with grain. Business though was nearly at a standstill.

REAL WORK ON REVENUE BILL STARTSFRIDAY House to Consider Exemption of Liberty Bonds From Taxation Debate Still on.

WASHINGTON. Sept 12. While the House continued general debate today on the $S,000,'000,000 war revenue measure leaders agreed to begin real work on the bill and amendments Friday and at the same time pass the new bill urged by Secretary McAdoo to facilitate sale of Liberty bonds by making a larger amount of these bonds held in individual hands exempt from income surtaxes. Majority Leader Kitchin privately estimated that the new bond legislation would reduce the revenue yield aDoui $ou,uuo,000. No revision had Deen planned, he said, to make up for the loss. The Ways and Means committee considered this measure and arranged j lu -assistant secretary Leffingwell today. With prospects of little or no opposition the committee expects to pass the bond bill Friday under an arrangement made for co-operation by Senate leaders. Exemption on Liberty Bonds. As proposed by Mr. McAdoo, instead of the present law exempting from income surtaxes bonds up to $5,000 owned by any individual or corporation, the new bill would exempt $30,000 of the new fourth loan and $45,000 of the second and third issues of the converted securities of the first issue. A one per cent tax on general merchandise sales, which he said would raise -between $3,000,000,000 and $4.000,000,000, was favored by Representative Sterling, of Illinois, Republican, while Representative Merritt, of Connecticut, Republican, declaring the inheritance tax confiscatory, also suggested that corporations' dividends converted into Liberty bonds should j tAfuiyt irom me b per cent tax placed upon undistributed dividends. Representative Sloan, of Nebraska, Republican Ways and Mean3 member, criticized the absence of tariff taxes, and also failure of the Administration to convert allies' loans into bonds. Taxes on, municipal bonds, against which Mayors of several cities are reported to be planning a protest, were attacked by Representative Madden, of Illinois, who questioned their constutionality. Theatre Men Protest. Mr. Madden also predicted the cooperation provision making income of dividends received from other corporations would not stand a Supreme Court test, in view of precedent declsions already made, j The plan for a new Tax Advisory commission to. aid in administering the law was praised by Representative Dixon, of Indiana, a Democratic member of the Ways and Means committee. Theatrical men headed by Henry W. Savage, Marc Klaw, and Winthrop. Ames of New York, staged a vigorous j protest against the proposed doubling. of the admission taxes in the new revenue bill before the senate finance committee Wednesday. "Whe you come to double the tax on admissions, we are all very appre-l hensive," Mr. Klaw told the commit j tee. "We are fearful that you will leg-1 islate the smaller managers out of business. It is all very well to say j that the New York theatres can stand ' any tax, but New York is not the j nation. "Our experience has been that the theatres throughout the country have been hard hit by the war. We are willing to go the limit, but don't make it impossible for us to do the big things' and the fine things we want to do In connection with the war." Y. M. C. A.
