Treasury plan seeks sugar duty and emergency tax extension
Washington October 6 The administration will ask Congress to extend the sugar duty and the emergency income tax until conditions normalize or the European war ends. Secretary McAdoo said he would recommend the measures, with President Wilson reportedly in accord. The plan aims to raise around 150 million dollars annually, while large army and navy appropriations push for more revenue from other sources. Rumors of Panama canal bond issues are denied, and a lower income tax exemption is seen as more likely.

Fragmented Patient Complaint Sherry Misheard Lines
A garbled OCR fragment shows a patient describing nerve pain and fatigue affecting housework and daily tasks. The text includes disjointed phrases about nerves, joints, and headaches, plus unclear references to people and locations, lacking coherent context.
Revenue measures proposed to extend emergency tax and sugar duty
The report outlines recommendations to extend an emergency revenue measure beyond its December 1945 expiry and to retain the sugar duty for several years or until normal conditions return. It notes uncertain future measures pending departmental estimates, emphasizes preserving the two revenue sources, and remarks Congress decides final actions. Louisiana Cane Growers president Farwell says government retention of the sugar duty would likely require a large increase in cane acreage next season after reduced cultivation this year.
