WASHINGTON, Aug. s1.-Plans for
a ) or 10 per cent, war stamp tax on
all railroad passenger tickets, theatre
tickets. baseball tickets and the like
is under consideration by members of
the ways and means committee.

nualIy from s50,Ooo,Oo0 to $50 600, 900
originated in administration circles.
Opinion among the Democrats of the
committee is divided. Some contend
that a tax on beer and increased taxes
on domestic wines and patent medi-
cines, with an increase of l per cent.
in the income tax, and a permanent
inheritance tax, would meet all the
exigencies caused by the European
war without being felt seriously by
individuals. No formal action has
been taken.
