TAKES ACTION 70 CURB
Hioh PRICES OF PAPER.

Washington, Aug. 25.--In an
effort to curb artific1ally high
prices for news print paper Sen
ator Hitchcock of Nebraska, dem
ocrat, today proposed an amend
ment to the revenue bin placing
a graduated tax on all news print
sold for more than sA5 a ton.
The amendment provides that
rews print sold to consumer or
the agent of a consumer for more
than $40 and less than $50 shall
pay a Tax of So ton: between
$50 and $50. SO a ton; between
500 and SO. $l8 a ton: between
$40 and $50. s25 a ton; between
$50 and 500. s35 a ton; over 500
the tax shall be $40 a ton.
Taking the position that exist
ing ahnormally high prices for
news print paper are artificial
and not the logical result of the
operation of supply and demand.
Mr.. Hitchcock said: MY pro-
posed amendment is designed not
so much to raise revenue as il is
to make il Improbable for paper
manufacturers to charge exor-
Infant prices for news print. pa
per.
THE price of news print pa
Per has been very stable for sew
eral years. until recently selling
around 2 cents a pound. There
has been an increase in the CON
sumption of paper i'm the last two
years for two reasons. First.
the great increases i'm circulation
arising from the war, and more
recently the increased volume of
advertising due to prosperity.
The result is that all surplus
stock of paper has practically
disappeared.
"The mills are making about
G.5OO tons day and we are i'm
porting about 1920 tons a day

THREE ARE Hello on
MO0ASn|hE CHARGE
Who We're Absolved BY
Third.

Lynchbnrg. Nov 1s-Three mid
day lunches tied up snugly and wait
ing for the noon hour will figure A.
evidence In the trial Of John Bray.
Lloyd Bray and Roy l. Myers In the
Federal Court here at the next term
on the charge Of operating a moon
shine still in Pittsylvania County. the
still having been raided recently by
Deputy Marshal E. l.. Chappelle. of
this city, with the assistance Of sew
eral possemen.
After the raid and destruction OF
the outfit, Lloyd Bray, son of John
Bray. assumed all responsibility for
the moonshine OUTFIT and claimed his
father and Roy Myers had nothing to
do with Its operation. but the deputy
marshal discovered three lunches in
the building, and this fact, probably
more than any other. led to all three
OF the defendants being charged with
the alleged violation Of tho Federal
revenue laws
The evidence at the preliminary
sioner T. J, O'Briea showed that the
three defendants were found at the
still when the raid was made and
that all three Of them beat a hasty
retreat. to be arrested later
john Bray. the father. testified that
he had been at the still only five min
utes when the raid was made. He
said he had advised his con against
taking the chane. but claimed he had
nothing to do with the making Of
the gallon Of corn liquor the revenue
men found Asked why he ran he
said he became frightened. Asked
how fast he ran. he said, The boys
said he knocked all the water out OF
49, 10
through IT" He admitted that he
went home. removed his shoes and
placed them in g. basin OF water be-
side a pair OF new soles to create the
impression that the wetting was for
the purpose of repairing the shoes
and that It had not come from cross
ing the creek.
Myers. the third defendant. admit
ted he was at the still at the time of
the raid, but claimed he had been
there only ten minutes He said he
discovered the still by the SIN oke and
started to get !. drink. Going through
the woods. he said. he found a bottle
and then and there determined to
have the bottle fled He admitted
he ran because he was afraid OF be-
ing arrested
Lloyd BRAY claimed his father knew
nothing OF the operation. despite the
fact the father testified he had warn
ed hts son OF probable danger. He
claimed he alone was responsible for
the OUTFIT and assumed entire respon-
sibil.ty for it.
The revenue officers did not discover
the three lunches until they went back
and were chopping the still up. and
this fact led to charges being made
gainst the trio instead OF only Lloyd
Bray.
