WAR REVENUE TO BE BOOSTED BY GASOLINE TAX

Excise Tax on Automobiles Also Adopted by Senate Committee. .

WASHINGTON. Aug. 1. A tax on gasoline and an exclae tax on the use of automobiles were adopted by the Ways and Means ommlttee Wednesday for the $8,000,000,000 revenue bill. The gasoline tax will be 2 cents a gallon, to be paid by the producer or manufacturer. The automobile tax. which Is In addition to the 10 percent tax on manufactures' sales agreed upon yesterday, will be paid by the owner of the car and will range from $10 on a $500 car to $140 on a car costing between $4,500 and $6,000. Motor trucks will pay according to the same schedule as automobiles. On motorcycles there will be a flat tax of $5 a year. Another tax probably will be devised to hit the dealers in used ' cars. It la estimated that the tax on gasoline will bring in between $40,000,000 and $45,000,000. The automobile tax Is estimated to produce not less than $125,000,000. , These were the only items on the treasury department's luxury list that were discussed by the committee Wednesday. In order to expedite action on the other Items the committee authorized Chairman Kltchln to appoint a subcommittee to go over the list and determine what other subjects, -if any, should be taxed. The committee, conslsting'of Representative Hull, of Tennessee; Helverlng. of Kansas, and Moore, of Pennsylvania, was directed to report to the full committee not later than Saturday of this week. Two important things in connection with the automobile tax aro to be noted. First, the tax will be assessed according to the retail list price of the car at the time of manufacture. There will be no deduction tor the age of the car, nor for tbe length of time it has been in use. Hence a car costing $3,000 in 1910 will pay just as much as a 1918 model costing the same amount. In the second place, the tax will be an excise tax and will have to be paid by the owner whether it is in use or not. Car owners who might think they

could evade payment of the tax by laying their cars up in .their garage stripping it of its tires and putting it out of service, will be mistaken; the revenue collector will get them- just the same because they own the car even if it can't run around the block. The schedule of taxes agreed upon 13 as follows: Cars costing $500 or less, $10. Between $500 and $750, $15. Between $75 Oand $1,000. $20. Between $1,000 and $1,500, $30. Between $1,500 and $2,000, $40. Between $2,000 and $2,500, $50. Between $2,500 and $3,000, $60. Between $3,00 Oand $3,500. $80. Between $3,500 and $4,000, $100. Between $4,000 and $4,500, $120. ' Between $4,500 and $5,00, $140. In other words, the tax increases $10 for every $500 after the $1,000 price is passed until it reaches $3,000, when the increase is at the rate of $20 on every additional $500 of the car's cost. Th-a tax on a car costing $10,000 would be $360, while the tax on a $15,000 car would be $580. This schedule follows practically the same lines as that which was written into the last revenue bill by the Senate Finance Committee and eliminated in the conference, except that the senate schedule made allowances for the number of years the car may have been in service. Tho Ways and Means Committee's plan will make it necessary to put in the bill some provision for a tax on the dealer in used cars, for the reason thir. rhw 10 percent tax is collected only from the manufacturers and the ex -ie tax must be paid by the owner or purchaser. Chairman Kltchln said that in all probability some method will be found of taxing the used car dealers who would escape taxation under the arrangement agreed upon.

Cool Miners Sacrifice Holiday Diversions to Increase Coal Output 'By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Aug 1 Picnics, county fairs and other public gatherings are being abandoned by the coal miners of the country in the interests of increased coal production, according to reports reaching the fuel administration today. "In nearly every field," says a statement issued by the administration, "the mine workers are a unit in consenting to make a sacrifice of many of their usual holidays and diversions. Wherever there seems to be a danger of taking men away from the vital task of mining more coal, the mine workers are doing their part by making the necessary sacrifice."

Men Who Would Enlist if Younger Have Chance Now With the age limit for carpenters, painters and machinists raised to 58 years, an opportunity is offered to many men above the draft age, who "would enlist if they were young enough." Due to the action of the draft boards in refusing releases to men of the draft age, it will be necessary . for the Navy to draw its men from those between the ages of 18 to 21 and 31 to 40 and 58. "There are many men of these ages available. They would do their bit by enlisting In the eervlce," stated Recruiting Officer Klenzle.

HOW TO GET RID OF FRECKLES AND TAN

Freckles are said to be a great deal like spots of rust lodged in the skin. They can be cleared up, but if the skin is subject to them, the same exposure to wind and sun will produce other freckles unless one guards against them. Fortunately this is now easily done since danthol tetrate came to be better understood. This is Bimple and pleasant to apply, and the way it makes the freckles fade from the skin, is really surprising. It is also a safe and harmless way of removing tan and similar discolorations of the skin. Get an ounce of danthol tetrate from any of the better known druggists. The cost is small, and it is perfectly pleasant and simple to use. Apply it with the finger tips. The skin seems to absorb it quickly. (Adv.)
