TAX IS SOUGHT ON ELECTRICITY AND GASSALES House Ways and Means Bill to Be Aimed at All Revenue Classes. BY THOMAS L. STOKES United Frr Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—A consumption sales tax on both electricity and gas appeared certain today to be included in the bill of the house ways and means committee, which, it is becoming evident, will be a very broad and comprehensive measure increasing the tax contribution of all groups'and classes. Such a tax would be added to the electric and gas bill of millions of consumers. There are some 25,000,000 electric consumers and some 16.000,000 gas consumers in the country. Acting Chairman Crips (Dem., Ga.) of the committee, estimated today on the basis of figures of the federal trade commission that a 5 per cent tax on electricity would yield $107,000,000, and a similar rate for gas, $46,000,000, or a total of $153,000,000 annually to go toward balancing the budget. The tax would include both natural and illuminating gas. Crips contends that such a tax would not constitute a burden, as $ 5 per cent tax on a $3 electric

‘Balls’Him Out By United Prtte NEW BRITAIN, Conn., Feb. 4.—Driving down a slippery street, Orazio was horrified to see a small boy slide in front of his automobile and go down. He jammed on his brakes. The car skidded to a stop. The boy, who had clung to the front bumper of the machine. ran to a snowbank, fired a few retaliatory snowballs at the motorist and ran away, apparently uninjured.

The Georgian, now the recognized tax authority ’among house Democrats, Indicated the committee will'ltevy taxes in every direct tion in the effort to balance the budget, which he considers the paramount duty of congress. He said Secretary of Treasury Mellon’s recommendations would fall between $250,000,000 and $300,000,00 short of raising the billion dollars which both Republicans and Democrats have set as their goal. Income, inheritance and corporation taxes will be increased, a gift tax will be levied, and for other revenue the committee will consider oil, gas, gasoline, electricity and the ffumerous levies suggested by Mellon, which Included automobiles. radios, tobacco and amusements.

POVERTY LEADS JAPAN TO SHUN EXTENDED WAG Peace Danger Lies in Twin Examples of Napoleon and Prussia. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scrippi-Howard Foreien Editor WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—A war between Japan and any major power at this time would be national suicide for Japan, an internationally known authority on economics told the writer today. Neither financially nor economicallv is Japan prepared to stand the strain of a serious conflict of any duration, he declared. Her only chance of victory in such a war would be for it to be short, sharp and decisive. Japan is dependent upon the outside world for food, iron, steel, cotton, fuel oil, coal and many other essentials, both of war and commerce. Her industries would break down and her people would go hungry within a very few months. Japan lacks money. Her outside credit Is about exhausted. She hardly could get money in the United States or Great Britain, though possibly she might raise some in France. This would be the case If the rumored “understanding” between Japan and France with reg^d t to

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

China turned out to be true —a rumor which French Ambassador Claudel, in Washington, has taken particular pains to deny. For years the Japanese budget has been balanced by borrowing. At home she would find it increasingly difficult to raise the necessary loans. Business has been bad for years, and reconstruction following the earthquake which destroyed Yokohama and Tokio has cost heavily. Like Great Britain, Japan’s industrial and business machine depends upon foreign trade. But, also like Great Britain, when her foreign trade slumps appreciably, the effect is felt from top to bottom of Japanese society. Already this trade is suffering badly. The United States and China are by far and away her principal markets, and 1931 saw huge sales decreases in both fields. War, strangling her foreign trade, would doom Japan unless, of course, she could count on some very powerful ally or allies for support. Her public debt has doubled in the last ten years. Her two-thirds

of a billion dollar foreign balance, mostly in New York and London, has been wiped out. She has had to go off the gold standard, and her foreign and domestic debts totaling about $6,000,000,000, are large for so poor a country. But—and this is the crux of the thing—the Japanese general staff, now apparently in the saddle, may look upon war as a way out. Militarists are not economists, as a rule, and more territory may look to them as the equivalent of greater national wealth. Napoleon, in bankrupt France, began on a shoestring and wound up with Europe tied to his chariot. The big, sombre question mark now hanging over Asia, therefore, is whether or not Japan today is looking at the world through Napoleonic spectacles.

Eczema in Water Blisters Burned Terribly. Cuticura Healed. “My little boy had eczema. The trouble first started on his left arm. It was in little patches of pimples and water blisters and itched and burned terribly. He scratched until the eruptions would bleed and they looked badly. Later the trouble spread to his body, the top of his left ear and up through his hair. His clothing aggravated the breaking out on his body, especially when he got warm. “ I sent for free samples of Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I purchased more and in about a month he was healed” (Signed) Mrs. Earl Wells, 1438 S. Lawrence St, Wichita, Kans., Aug. 6,1931. Soap 25c. Ointment ?5 nd 50c. Talcum 25c. Sold everywhere. Sample each free. Address: “Cuticura Laboratories, Dept. H, Malden, Mats.”

The tariff Is designed as a revenue producing measure, but it was certain that in addition to bringing In needed revenue, it would discourage imports to some extent.
