Tax Moving Pictures.

Taxation of moving picture films,
as we'll as theater and amusement
tickets, has been suggested. The lat
ter would include moving picture the
aters at fraction of cent per ticket,
to be paid by the amusement licensee.

From a tax on proprietary medicines
and preparations of all kinds and on
soft drinks it is hoped to raise approx
imately $20,OO0,O00, while small addi-
tional revenue tax on distilled liquors,
probably not more than Is cents gal
lon, would bring the total tax on whis-
kies, ETC., to $125 a gallon. From these
sources it is estimated $75,OOO,OO0 will
be assured.
1t is improbable that Their will be
any stamp tax on commercial instru-
ments, such as checks, drafts, convey
ances, mortgages, etc. Nearly all
members of the committee agree that
such a tax would require too much ad
ministrative detail.

Tax Claars-Not Tobacco.

The majority of the committee also
oppose an additional tax on tobacco
because of the burden it now bears.
There is some urgency, however, for a
graduated tax on cigars, according to
value, from which, it is asserted, large
increases in revenue could be procur-
ed.
Taxation of gasoline is strenuously
objected to. Opposition, it was stated,
lies chiefly in the fact that it would
be expensive to collect, necessitating
government agents in refineries.
Among new subjects for taxation
seriously discussed by the committee
were monthly and weekly magazines
and periodicals, including magazines
circulated through Sunday newspa-
pers. 1t was proposed to levy tax on
circulation at given figure per thou
sand.
A tax on automobiles also is being
considered, either an excise tax on the
manufactured machine, a tax based
on the horsepower, or a tax on cars
owned by individuals.

Know More Economics
MRS. SNYDER GIVES
MORE CANNING TIPS

The New Century Club observed
Federation Day today with an all day
session. This morning addresses were
made by Miss Helen Louise Johnson
of WatertOwn. n. v. chairman of the
home economics committee of the
General Federation OF Women's Clubs
and Mrs. Frederick J. snyder, of
Newport, a government expert who
spoke on canning and preserving.
An announcement of great regret
this morning was that Mrs. S. j..
Reynolds of Smyrna, president of the
State Federation of Women's Clubs,
would be unable to be present on
account of illness. Mrs. Reynolds
was to be the guest of honor at the
meeting and was to deliver the chief
address.
At 1890 o'clock box luncheon, in
charge of Mrs. S. \. Trump, was
served on the second floor of the club.
About so guests were present.
Miss johnson spoke this morning on
home economics She advocated "a
broader application of the term from the
simple kitchen and household duties to
extension TO questions embracing pro-
duction, buying and consuming She
stated that most of the trouble i'm the
American homes today is due TO the
fact that too many American women
do not know the value of dollar and
Just what il should be able TO purchase.
Mrs. Snyder advocated the cold pack
method OF canning fruits. In this
method the fruits and vegetables are
not cooked but are placed in the Jars
in salt water and then run through q
water seal. She exhibited several speci-
mems of fruits and vegetables that have
been preserved in this manner.
At the afternoon session addresses
Will be made by Mr.. Hankcle, Chief
of the Bureau of Food Stuff and San
itation OF the Department of Phila-
delphia, and by Miss Johnson. A fine
musical program will be in charge

over by Mrs. Charles f. WollastOn
president of the club.
Speaking before the current events
class Of the club yesterday, Miss
Mary S. Malone, factory inspector
under the ten-hour law for women
admitted that the law did cause the
discharge of a greater number OF
employees than usual following the
Christmas holidays, but she explain
ed that this was due to the fact that
the employers were required to EN-
plOy an extra number of saleswomer
10 meet the Christmas business, in
order to keep. within the bounds oil
the law.
Miss Malone said her Inquiries fail
ed to disclose a single instance where
the law caused a reduction in wages
as has been charged. She quoted
figures and statistics % show how
the law has caused "A reduction in The
7worfeing -ifour4s for uonhen aBn sirls. &

ROCKEFELLER TAX
CASE MAY GO TO COURT
By the United Press.


CLEVELAND, O.. Feb. deputy
State Tax Commissioners John d..
Fackler and William Agnew, who
yesterday notified John ID. Rocke-
feller he must pay taxes IN Ohio on
all his S900,O00.000 of personal prop
erty, insisted today that Rockefeller
cannot escape.
The statement OF Virgil r. Kline,
Rockefeller lawyer, that the oil king
is q legal resident of New York, and
pays taxes there, the local commits
sioners claim, is incorrect. Rocke-
feller has lately established his legal
residence i'm East Cleveland, whore is
located his Forest Hill estate, they
say, adding that they have at hand
information from New York that
Rockefeller is not assessed for per
sOnal taxes in New York or in Wor-
cester county, where is located his
Tarrytown property.
Indications are the case may be
fought to the United States Supreme
