BIG FIGHT IN SIGHT
OVER COFFEE TAX
Strong Argument Advanced
on Both Sides Before
the Committee.

There is going TO he a big fight in
Congress over the proposition 10 put a
tax on coffee In the Ways and Means
Committee the matter has been threshed
out pro and con. One day coffee has
been left free, and the next day a tax
has found favor
OF course the main object sought nv
the trainers of the bill is that as a law
IL will produce enough revenue 10 meet
the necessities of the Government And
a tax on coffee-an article which is used
IN every hOme-affords such an easy
way Of producing revenue that. to some
members Of the committee at least, II
seems 10 be shame TO let the oppor-
tunity pass. Although the indications
now are that the new tariff oil as Il
will be reported TO the House. will con
tain provision for "A tax on this
article. the opinion IS freely expressed
that when the measure becomes a law
coffee will remain upon the free list
Advocates Of the proposed tax point
out that when the United States first
took of its customs duty Oh coffee.
Brazil Immediately proceeded to put an
export tax on its product. Another argu-
ment is, Of course, that the tax would
greatly benefit the. coffee growers Of
Hawaii AMI Porto Rico
On the other hand members Of both
the House and Senate are being over
whelmed In every mail with letters from
individuals and from labor orgaliza tons
protesting against the proposed taxation
Of the working mans beverage" These
letters re inSistent and are cominc. i'm
