$2,000,000 "Gibraltar of the Skies"

WAS 1 1 1 NU TO N. ) tiici a I Wa sh i ngton is beginning to sit up and take notice over the delivery by John Hull to Uncle Sam of the ?-J.in.HUX naval airship. K-.'IS. scheduled for, early fall. This "Gibraltar of the Skies" is now tuning up at I Jed ford, and Commander Maxficld, U. S. X., is now in England with an American crew. The trip across the Atlantic is expected to take two or three days, the airship's cruising speed !emg JO miles ah 'hour. After -tuning up and trials by an English crew, to be certain that everything is all right, the ship will he turned over to the Americans who will familiarize themselves with it until it is ready to start for the United States. ThoM' are its main dimensions and characteristics: Length, 0"i fret ; diameter 8.1 feet 4 Inches; capacity, These Tax Bills FOUR bills imposing a land tax and a heavy inheritance tax, and eliminating most of the present taxes have been introduced in the house by itepresentative Keller of Minnesota. The hills are sponsored by the committee of inanufactunM-s and merchants on federal taxation and by tlte Ta rmers' Federal Tax league. One bill imposes a tax of 1 jht cent on land values in excess of $10,000. after exempting buildings and improvements, and in the case of farms the cost of clearing and draining and maintenance of fertility. The exemptions are so applied as to exempt from taxation, according to Mr. Keller's estimate. approximately t)8 per cent of all actual farmers.

Small Luxuries: $20,000,000 Spent Daily

j US, indeed, the people are feeling mighty poverty-stricken those days. Candy, tobacco, soft drinks, Jewelry and minor lu.vuries now are being purchased at the rate of .57,-00,-'X-O.Ooo st year in Chicago, New York and other big cities of the United States. This is shown in reports of tar collections made to the Treasury department. At least 51'0,0mmxh) daily now is going over the counters of merchants dealing in small luxuries, according to the reports. This is an estimate based on the fact that the government now i receiving approximately $M,ntM),0O0 a month from luxury taxes. Such taxes are based on about one-tenth of the cash received by the merchant. "Never Did," Says THi: United States Steel corporation and its 11 subsidiaries have tiled with the federal trade commission an answer, to the commission's complaint of last April In which unfair competition In interstate commerce was alleged. The case will now go to trial on its merits before the commission. Answering each of the 12 allegations set out in the original complaint, the steel corporation and its subsidiaries call attention to the decision of the United States Supreme court on March 1, 1020, dismissing the suit brought against the corporation by the government under the Sherman antitrust act.' They aver that the record of the court shows: That respondents did not have a monopoly of the Iron ore deposits, either in the Lake Superior district or !n the state of Alabama or In the Utulted States at large; did not own tit control the ultimate iron ore supply of the United States; did not own or control a monopoly of the coal suitable for steel making purposes in the United States; did not possess a monopoly of the railroad and lake tranportat'en systems which carry ore from the

Its gasoline capacity is 30 tons. which is sutlicient for a .light of o,tX) miles-. If dying at full speed, TO mile an hour, or r,öA) miles, equal to the distance from (Jreat Uritain to Japan. If traveling at CO miles an hour, the cruising speed. The maximum height the ship can reach is 'JÖ.OOO feet, as compared with 24,000 foct by the L-71. As a warship it will be the most powerful thing twixt the earth and the sky. Its armament will consist of II Lewis machine guns; one Impounder :yitomatie gun. eight g."0-pounl bombs, and four other bombs. There will he two machine gun platforms at the inlet on the outside of the tsldp, one at the very stem, and another 100 feet from the tail on the bottom side of the ship to repulse attacks from beneath. Other guns will control the cabins and each of the engine gondolas. Inside the bottom of the airship, be-hn-the gas hags, are all sorts of pro-' lective devhvs, such as gasoline tanks that, by the press of a button, are instantly dropped out of the ship, ballast water bags, and automatic bomb d nippers. Radically Different One bill repeals all existing transportation and sales taxes except those on tobacco and distilled spirits, oleomargarine, habit forming drugs, and products of child labor, and repeals the excess profits tax and the 10 per cent tax on incomes of corporations. Another hill amends the income tar law so as to distinguish ' between "earned" and "unearned" income. The tax on "unearned" income, together with the super-taxes, is retained, but the tax on "earned" incomes is cut in two. Mr. Keller figures that these taxes, with customs and other miscellaneous revenue, would raise funds sullicient to meet the government budget, and in addition provide a sinking fund which would pay off the government debt in ,?0 years. With the approach of summer, thousands of Americans are apparently feeling the call of the open road. The sale of new automobiles now is putting nearly 57tOon, h x l a ir.onth In the government's coffers, indicating purchases of approximately s70fooofHo worth of cars. The tax collectors are getting nearly sio.ooo.ooo ach .'O days via the railroad ticket ofiiee. Travel taxes usually increase during the vacation months, June, July and August, but last summer there was very little ihange over the winter period. Pennies that go Into the little glass Jar kept by the soda' dispensers now bring the government nearly $7,0 )0,000 each month, Indicating an enormous demand. . Chewing gum brings the government the comparatively small total of .51P.O.OUO monthly. This Indicates that the United States now is chewing monthly approximately L'd.H0,00) packages, or 1 .O.OOO.OOO sticks. The country is spending $20,0X).mm) a month for candy. Smokers now contribute approximately .524,000,1)00 monthly to the government in taxes on cigars, cigarettes, tobacco and snuff. United States Steel mines to the manufacturing plants of said subsidiaries. "That respondents did not own or control a sufficient amount of any branch of steel manufacturing to constitute a monopoly thereof; did not fix or control the prices of steel ; did not possess the power to either control or destroy their comretitors; did not control the prices of steel products nor fix the prices charged by their competitors." The companies admit tbat the corporation has a capital stock outstanding of the par value of $SVS3,GC'0, and of a look value exceeding $1,500,(K,000. ajid that the gross tales of tha corporation and its subsidiaries nggre gate moie than SJ.lHX).000.(KX) annually.
