TWO NEW TAXES T0 BE PROPOSED TODAY One on 2.75 Beer and Other on Manufacturers' Sales Washington, Sept. 17.—Having prac- tically completed revision of the housc tax bill, the senate finance committee was ready today to receive Senator E£moot's proposal for a manufacturers and Senator Calder's plan ro| ¢ cent beer at the rate ot The sales tax is embodied in a bill which Senator Smoot has gfven notice he would offer the committee today as a substitute for the revised house meas- ure. Under the Utah senator's plan all internal revenue would be obtained | from five sour incomes of individ- uals and corporations, estate taxes, to- bacco taxes and a three per cent levy on manufacturers’ sales, Senator Smoot estimates that these taxes would yield $2,880,000,000 an- nually and that this sum with the amounts received from the tariff| through collection of back taxes and from salvage and miscellaneous sources would Be sufficient to meet the govern- ment's revenue needs for this and suc- eeeding years The gencral opinion at the capitol #seemed to be that the committee would reject Mr. Smoot’s bill. In that event the senator expected to bring it forth fn the senate as a substitute when the house bill is under consideration. His proposal has been endorsed by a num- ber of manufacturers’ assoclations and is looked upon with favor by some re- publican leaders, who, however, have indicated that they did not deem this the proper time to consider it 8 yr Calder's beer proposal has drawn fire from the anti-saloon league, which has announced through its gen- eral counsel Wayne B. Wheeler that it would be strongly opposed by the prohibition forces Only a fow loose ends of the revision of the house bill remained to be caught up today by the senate committes. Re- visions of the levy provisions of the house bill as previously agreed upon were expected to stand. The commit- tee however, had decided to delay a final vote until next Wednesday after the legislative and treasury experts had completed: the actual drafting of the measure. Democratic members are expected to vote solidly against the bill and to carry their fight to tho senate floor. Their fire will be directed chiefry against the provisions repealing the ex- cess profits tax and reducing the in- come surtax brackets to a maximum of 82 per_cent RETIRES AT LIBRARY AFTER LONG SERVICE (Continued from First Page.) duties as librarian In September, 1894, when the library had only a few thousand volumes housed in the eastern part of the second floor of what was then the Russwin hotel. “Now the library, in its own bulld- ing has 80,000 volumes and it may readily be appreciated that this great growth has meant twenty-seven years of the most generous devotion and right judgment on the part of the one who has had in charge their pur- chase and continuous circulation.
