GASOLINE TAX
TO Be ONE CENT
Auto Owners and Other Users to
Pay More for Fuel

Auto owners and other users of gas
oline will he interested To learn, al
though not pleased. that gasoline will
be taxed one cent per gallon under the
new war revenue bill. The Democrats
of the Senate finance committee re-
duced the proposed tax from two
cents, and decided to impose a tax of
fifty cents per horsepower on auto
sales.
The committee action with reference
to gasoline and automobile occasioned
considerable surprise, as the general
expectation had been that an automo-
bile tax would be substituted for the
gasoline tax.
The one cent on gasoline will bring
revenue amounting to s1O,OO0,OOO. The
proposed so cents per horsepower on
automobile sales will not affect per-
sons owning automobiles, but will be
levied only on sales. There is a
provision, however, that whenever a
manufactures already has contracted
to sell automobiles at a certain price,
the tax shall be paid by the jobber or
dealer.
Proprietors of moving picture thea
ters and small amusement places will
profit by the action of the committee,
which substituted for the Hat tax Of
500 on all theaters proposed in the
House BILL a graduated tax of S25 for
theaters with seating capacity of 800
or less $50 for "A seating capacity up
TO 600: $75 up To 1000 and 500 for
seating capacity over 1000.
1t has been agreed to retain the pro-
posed increased tax of fifty cents u
barrel on beer in the House bill with
the understanding, however that a
further increase of 20 cents might be
made should the Senate committee find
it necessary to raise more revenue af-
ter it has completed consideration of
all sections of the bill.
The proposed tax Of twenty cents a
gallon on sweet domestic wines and
twelve cents on dry wines the commit
tee agreed To revise, retaining the
house rate ON sweet wines. but reduc-
ing the dry wine to eight cents. This
was on recommendation Of the treas
ury department
