NEW YORK, April 27. If the proposed tax on sales becomes a law there will Te an increase in the high cost of living, according to the committee on Federal taxation of the National Association of Credit Men. Chairman Roy G. Elliott has made public a report of his committee opposing the bills which advocate a tax on sales. Opposition to the proposed law is based on the grounds that such an assessment would turn every business establishment into an office for the col

lection of internal revenue, because 3?

consumption of necessities and in in

verse ratio to ability to pay, and that it is capable of being passed on and,

therefore, becomes an important ete ment in high prices.

When "cue" sheets are provided they must be followed in perfect tempo as the reel progresses in order that the pictures may be properly "played," and a frolicking melody may not burst in upon a death scene. Because of the recommendations of the "cue" sheets the same piece is often replayed during the week. This could not be avoided unless the entire program were rearranged, the director explains.

PALACE Of all the film productions announced for this year none has aroused greater interest among the millions of motion picture fans than the presentation of that beautiful and tremendously popular star, Clara Kimball Young in a six reel adaptation of Robert W. Chambers' world-famous novel, "The Common Law." which will be seen on Tuesday and Wednesday at the Palaoe. This picture was produced under the guidance of her director general, Albert Capellani, the famous French

master of screen craft who is best known to American picture followers as the producer of euch illustrious feature plays as "Les Miserables" and "Camille." The star has been surrounded by a cast of players of the highest order. The story of "The Common Law" has been changed very little in its adaptation to screen requirements.

report of the committee on federal taxation. "The chief reasons given by

those who believe in such a tax are its simplicity, comparative ease in collection and freedom from administra

tive difficulties. This committee pre-

sents herewith Its views on the proposed tax: "There seems to be an almost unanimous opinion that the rate of the proposed tax on sales should be 1 per cent of the total or gross amount of the sale with an exemption for all transactions involving less than $1. Ease of computation makes this probably as desirable a rate, all things considered, as can be used. ' What Constitutes a Sale. I "Before a tax on sales can be adSB? ministered, we must have a definition pf what constitutes a sale. Here we meet our first stumbling block. The natural assumption is that the tax tmII apply to mercantile transactions, but lust what does this mean? If

carried to a logical conclusion, it mean a tax not only on the buying and selling of merchandise, but on servije, transportation and similar forms of business activity. If an ex1 re.man hauls a trunk from the station to your residence and charges you $t.has he not sold you certain service and are his sales to be taxed, or is th form of sale to escape? Any rtrfinition of sale that can be laid lwn by the taxing authorities will be inmediately attacked from innumerible angles. "The imposition of a sales tax will eventually make every mercantile ot business establishment in the United States a deputy collector of internal revenue. This committee believes that this feature of the tax is a shifting of the burden of collection from the internal revenue department to the shoulders of the business concerns, and .when once clearly understood by business people it will be sufficient to start a wave of protest throughout the country.

WASHINGTON Norma Talmadge, famed beauty of the screen, is playing at the Washing ton theatre for three days in her latest Select special, "She Loves and Lies," a comedy drama founded on Wilkie Collins' story of the same name. In this play, Miss Talmadge portrays two sides of the well known eternal triangle, being her own rival for the affections of her husband. Miss Talmadge as Marie Callender finds herself wed to a certain Mr. Lismore, whom she marries in a philanthropic mood, to help him tide over some financial worries. It is purely a marriage of convenience, but as time passes Marie finds the "marriage of convenience" extremely dull; whereupon she searches for a method of

winning her husband's love. The plan she eventually hits upon is unique, to say the least. Realizing that she cannot flirt with him at home under the circumstances, she goes elsewhere, becomes someone else, and sets out to win him. Greenwich Villa so. the celebrated

Vitagraph's latest feature production presents a form of contract by which a society girl possessed of great beauty my be conveyed by legal transaction into marriage for money. "Human Collateral," of which Corinne Griffith is the star, is the photoplay at the Murray the first part of the week. Miss Griffith plays the role of Patricia Langdon, the beautiful daughter of Stephen Langdon, a Wall street operator. Langdon happens to suffer severe financial reverses and is compelled to call on Roderick Duncan, the young banker, who is virtually engaged to Patricia, for a heavy loan. Patricia, conceiving the idea that

her father is seeking to give her away to Duncan in return for the loan she has heard about, experiences the whim to humiliate both of them. She

i tnereiore engages a lawyer 10 araw j up a legal document conveying her I to Duncan in return for the loan.

The remarkable document dictat
