TAX ON LUXURIES TREASURY'S PLAN FOR WVRREAENUE Propose to Raise $8,000,000,000 of U. S. War Expenses by Taxation. WASHINGTON. July 11. Members of the house ways and means committee today studied with Interest the list of luxury taxations suggested by the treasury department, but opposition was apparent. to many, of the proposals, which some committeemen regarded as Impractical. The committee will take up the list item by item when It begins framing the new war revenue bill. The first protest against the treasury's suggestions came today during the hearing of representatives of the wholesale and retail jewelry trade. Myer Rothchild and Robert B. Steele, both of New York, declared the proposed 60 per cent, retail tax on Jewelry was ruinous and would force so many concerns out of business that ' the government would not derive nearly as much revenue from this source as it would under the 10 per cent. tax. William H. P. Hill, of Detroit. Mich., who appeared before the committee today to represent the patent medicine Industry, proposed the Canadian plan of affixing a government tax stamp on patent medicines the amount of the tak to be added to the selling price. Holds the Amount Too High. While Mr. Hill was on the stand, Representative Fordney of Michigan, .ranking Republican member of the committee, said the government's actual war expenses this year, after de'ducting $6,000,000,000 loaned to the allies, would be $18,000,000,000. The $8,000,000,000 which It is proposed to raise by taxation, he said, represented 40 per cent, of the total actual expense and added that he did not think that amount should be raised by taxation. Members of the committee Indicated that the list would form the basis for consumption taxes in their draft of the bill though some of the proposals would be changed and others disregarded. Besides doubling present taxes on liquors and tobacco, quadrupling soft drink levies and making general increases In other existing rates, the treasury suggestions Include taxes of BO ner cent, in retail prices of jewelry.

watches and clocks except those sold to army and navy men; 12 percent, on automobiles, bicycles, musical instruments, etc.; 10 cents on gallon on gasoline to be paid by the wholesaler; 10 per cent, on hotel bills for rooms over $2.50 a day or American plan over $5; 10 percent, on all cafe and restaurant bills and taxes of unstated amounts on men's suits selling for more than $30; women's suits over $40; and coats over $30; men's hats over $4, shirts ever $2, pajamas over $2, hosiery over 5 cents, shoes over $5; gloves over 12, underwear over $3, all neckwear and canes, women's dresses over $25, skirts over $15, hats over $10, shoes over $, lingerie over $5, corsets over $5, and all furs, fans, etc.; children's clothing including suits over $16. purses, toilet articles, etc., over $2. Picture Theaters Included. In addition to all these taxes, which would be levied directly upon the consumre, the list proposes doubling the present motion picture admission tax and imposing a tak of 6 per cent, on moving picture theater rentals, with the present film tax eliminated. A 10 per cent, tax on "wire leases," intended to apply to telegraphs, telephones and other wires whose use is leased, is another of the treasury proposals. The retail tax principle Is new in the United States tax law, although it has been levied In England, France and Germany. The treasury suggested that 10 per cent, as a basis for this plan would be too low and that any one wanting the retail goods would pay as high as 20 percent. The treasury proposed a license tax of $10 a year on every soda fountain. The suggested tax on domestic servants would allow an exemption of one female servant. Others would be taxed as follows: First servant, 25 per cent, of wages paid; second servant, 50 per cent.; third, 75 per cent., and on more than three servants (not counting the one female servant), 100 per cent of wage paid In each case.

The next German offensive perhaps the greatest drive of the whole war is expected hourly, and there is much speculation among military observers as to where the blow will fall. The weight of expert opinion inclines to the theory that the next German offensive will be aimed at Abbeville (1) by way of Aniens. The purpose at such a campaign would be to divide the French and British armies and give the Germans

CITIZENS OF OXFORD PROTEST RAIL SERVICE.

OXFORD, O., July 11. Citizens of this village have entered a strong protest against the recent change in railway service, which does away with one train a day each way, so far as carrying passengers Is concerned. Under the new rule persons living here, and doing business in Hamilton, will have to move to that city. The mall service also is far from satisfactory. Within the last week through mall trains have three times failed to handle the outgoing mail, and several bags of incoming mail have been ground to pieces under the car -wheels.

SACRIFICE OF U. S. GAVE ALLIES FOOD

By Associated Press) LONDON, July 11. The people of the United States by self-imposed food restrictions have aided greatly In maintaining the food supplies of the European allies. Sir William A. M. Goode, Liaison officer of the food ministry with the American food administration, gave striking figures showing the extent of American selfsacrifice in an address today before the Consumers' Council. : From July 1917 to April 1918 the U. S, exported to the allies 80.000.000 bushels of wheat products, said Sir William. It was calculated by Herbert Hoover, American Food Administrator, that 60,000,000 of this represented the voluntary sacrifice of tho American people. American exports of pork products to the allies in March 1918, were 308,000.000 pounds. This was accomplished by porkless days and ceaseless hog production in the United States. In January, Sir William tontinued, the allies asked Mr. Hoover for seventy . million pounds of frozen beef monthly for three months. In march 86,000,000 pounds of frozen beef were shipped. This was due almost wholly to meatless days in the United States.

How to Grow a Diamond By FRANK S. CHANCE. -

The porter wanted to make up my berth, so I dropped Into the smoking compartment for a good-night session with pipe and tobacco. As I entered the smoke-laden

atmosphere I heard one man say to another: "For the love o Mike, tell me bow you got that sparkler? Two years ago when I met you out west you was sporting a diamond about as big as a mustard seed. The one you got on now looks like the headlight on a locomotive." The man addressed looked up and, with a quizzical smile, said: "Billy, judging from your oratory, I presume you have not yet beard that I have discovered a way to grow diamonds." "I certainly haven't." "It's a fact, nevertheless." "Well, if that eye-dazzler which I'm looking at is part of your crop, all I've got to say is that you're one grand little discoverer. But, jokin aside, how'd you get it You sure didn't buy it Come through clean, Jim, and tell me straight" (To be continued) 0.' E. Dickinson Copyright, 1918. All rights reserved.
