C.) Star.) The list of “luxuries” submitted by the treasury depart- ment to the house ways and means committee and the senate finance committee as possible features for taxation in the new war revenue bill is the subject of considerable criticism on the part of members of the senate finance committee. It was freely predicted today by some of the senators that'on a great.number of these so-called luxuries no taxes would be levied. It was in- sisted that it is not necessary to tax the retail sales of clothes, domestic servants and many of the other suggestions listed by the department. Senator Smoot of Utah, republican, declared that many of the suggested taxes would not be adopted. “I can tell you one thing,” he said, “and that is the ! revenues are not going to be raised through such taxes as are included in the list sent to the senate committee by the treasury department. Many of those taxes are taxes not upon luxuries, but upon necessxtxes, when the present high cost of everything one buys is taken into consideration. Take the proposed tax on suits of clothes for men costing more than $30, and for women costing more than $40. Under the present high prices you can’t-buy an ordinary suit for any such prices. Yet they would have us term these things luxuries. I am utterly opposed to such forms of taxation. “Another thing I can tell you is that congress is not going to provide for raising $8,000,000,000 by taxation this year, as the treasury department asks be done. And I can tell you why. At the outside, this country cannot - spend in excess of from $15,000,000,000 to $16,000,000,- 000, using every agency of production it has, during the year. “I know what I am talking about when I say this, for I have looked into the matter very carefully. The depart- ment and the administration figures that we should raise one-third of the money needed to carry on this war through taxation. One-third of the total sum which can be ex- pended, therefore, is something over $5,000,000,000. Why should we be asked to raise $8,000,000,000 by taxation and i why should the people be asked to contnbute that sum when it cannot be expended? “We were going to spend $19,000,000,000 last year, and we made appropriations accordingly. But now it ap- pears we spent only about $7,500,000,000, simply because the country could not produce all the material which the government intended to purchase. Since then the produc- tive agencies of the country have been vastly increased, but as I have said, the-outside limit of -what the govern- ment can spepd is somethmg over $15,000,000,000.” . . Phie OF COURSE THE PEOPLE WILL SHOULDER THE BURDEN. In making up its new $8,000,000,000 revenue bill, the B house and ways committee at Washington has decided the : proper thing to do would be to slap a heavy tax on all auto owners, and then add two cents per gallon on all gasoline. Then, according to the commlttee members, “while the manu- facturers’ tax and the owners’ tax are dlfferentlated it is gen- erally believed the owners ultimately will have to pay all the tax, the manufacturers passing on the tax in increased: prices.” Generally believed the tax will fall upon the owners antd buyers of gasoline? That statement was unnecessary. Of course the people will pay the bill, not the. manufacturers nor gasoline producers. —0 12 AT CROSS PURPOSES. ¥ If President Wilson could only get his cabinet members and boards and commissions to work in harmony, much woula be accomplished. It wlil be remembered that a year ago Secretary Lane and Secretary Damels entered into an agree- mnt with coal producers as to the price of coal, and later Sec- retary Baker and Fuel Administrator Garfield kicked the ar- rangement into smithereens, with the result that we had heatless, lightless, workless days. Smce then various boards and commissions have been fixing prices and along comes the federal trade commission and makes a charge of extortionate profiteering. It looks as though the trade commission’s charges are in effect an indictment of the price-fixers. 0 We have long heard that tobacco was deadly and now we are convinced. ‘In St. Paul, Tuesday, a man stopped another on a switch track and asked for some tobacco. The man accosted was producing the tobacco when a loaded car being switched knocked down the man who made the request for the smoking, EVERY HOME < MUST SERVE BEGIN IN THE KITGHEN FUEl.
