WAR TAX ON SOFT
DRINKS PROPOSED
Also on Railroad, Theatre and
Baseball Tickets-Beer I'M
post Nav Be Doubled.

Washington, Aug. 31.-A' stamp tax
on soft drinks, as we'll as on beer and
patent medicines, is contemplated by
members of the House Ways and Means
Committee, which is preparing an emer-
Rency internal revenue bill to offset
Treasury losses due to curtailment of
imports. II is urged that soft drinks
are as much Injuries as wines or beer.
Another suggestion is a stamp tax
of S or 10 per cent on railroad tickets
and admission to theatres, baseball
parks and other licensed amusements.
il is estimated that from S50,000.000
to $50 100000 could be raised in this
way.
The committee purposes to hasten its
deliberations so a bill may be intro
duced soon after President Wilson adj
dresses Congress on the subject, which
probably will be Immediately on his re-
turn from New Hampshire.
A doubling of the present tax OF
beer, il is estimated by Treasury ex-
perts, would produce $S5,o0o,OOo.

INSURANCE SECURE
IN SPITE OF WAR
Foreign Companies Sound and
Solvent, Says Mr..
HaSbrouck.

81 don't think there Is the slightest
reason for apprehension on the part
of any Americans who have fire in
surance policies in foreign companies
operating in the United States"
This statement, made by Frank
Hasbrouck, Superintendent Of the
State Insurance Department, to
representative of The Tribune yester-
day, will answer the thousands who
have written to the newspapers and to
the State Insurance Department,
asking if, in the event Of fire loses
on their premises, they could collec
1.-TWO weeks ago." said Mr.. Eas-
brouck, 81 sent letters to all the for
eign companies doing business here
suggesting that they hold all their re"
serve in this country, and not send any
abroad, save with the consent of this
department. And all Of the companies
replied that they would gladly do AS
These foreign companies, and
there are fifty or sixty of them, many
of them doing a large reinsurance
business, do not have to depend on
the home companies, that is, the COM
panies on the other side. They all
have large funds here, and l believe
can we'll take care Of any losses, and
will be in no wise affected by the war
in Europe"
William B. Ellison, Incorporation
Counsel, and the legal representative
of several of the largest Russian and
German insurance companies doing
business here, said that the foreign
companies as a whole were in excel
lent shape to meet any losses in this
country. =,
al know from actual experience"
said Mr.. Ellison, that the foreign
companies have been subjected to the
most rigorous sort of discipline by
the insurance departments of this
and other states, and as result
they are just as safe and secure rs
our home companies"
This was the opinion Of insurance
men generally. The life insurance
companies, for almost the entire part
American, have not been affected by
the war in the least. Loans on poll
cies have not increased appreeiably
since the war, and in other respects,
insurance men say, the war has not
affected their business.
