PAPER TAX URGED
TO STOP EXTORTION
Senator Hitchcock Offers Such
an Amendment to the
Revenue Bill.
TWO CENT RATE EXEMPT
Graduated 1mpOst Proposed in
Ratio to the Advance in
Prices.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Ex-senator
Hitchcock Nebraska, publisher Of the
Omaha World Herald. introduced to-day
an amendment to the revenue bill In
tended 10 prevent manufacturers from
charging cxtortionate rates for news
print paper.
Tho amendment would impose a
graduated internal tax on all news print
paper selling above two cents a pound.
the ratio increasing as the price Of paper
advances. The tax ranges from 81 a
ton for paper selling ut more than $40
up TO &45 u ton. The tax gradually in
creases until It reaches $40 a ton for
paper selling at $40 or more. .
my proposed amendment Is designed
not so much to raise revenue" said Mr..
Hitchcock. las 1t is TO make II unpront-
able for pa per m aLsacturers to charge
exorbitant prices TO- news print paper.
THE price of news print paper has
been very stable for several years until
recently, selling around two cents a
pound at the mills. There has been an
increase In the consumption OF paper
In the last two years for two reasons.
First, the great increase In circulation
arising from the war. and moro recently.

to prosperity. The result Is that all
surplus stock Of paper has practically
disappeared.
Tho mills are making about $500
tons a day and We are importing about
1900 tons q day from Canada. but this
does not meet the demand. The result
10 that manufacturers whose produc, Ia
not fully contracted for are taking al
vantage Of the situation 70 sell paper at
exorbitant figures. While the great bulk
OF news print paper Is selling mt two
cents a pound under existing contracts.
all new sales are bringing from four to
i've cents a pound.
MANY newspapers that are paying
$40 a ton for their regular supply are
paying $50 n ton for any surplus they
need. and any newspaper So unfortunate
as to have its contracts expire Is being
compelled to pay from $50 to 500 a ton
for Its whole supply. which Is ruinous.
"My amendment would exact no tax
from paper makers charging $40 a ton.
Paper above $45 a ton and under $50
would be taxed 50 above $50 and under
$50. 80: above SEQ and unr;er so n tax

100000 MOTORS
NEW YEARS OUTPUT
Head Of Ajax Rubber Company
Says 27,OOO,OO0 Tires
Will Be Needed.
FEARS A LABOR FAMINE
Horace de Lisser Also Predicts
Foreign Flood When War
Comes to End.

The sale Of 10000 motor cars in the
United States In the next twelve months
Is predicted by Horace de Lisser. chair
man Of the Ajax Rubber Company. who
bases his opinion chiefly upon the growth
Of general business and increasing inter-
est shown by the agricultural population
in popular priced cars. II wheat crops are
poor. he says, others arc not far from
their best recen, averages. and the buy
ing power OF 5000. 900 farm owners Is a
factor of great importance to any manu-
featuring business In the output OF which
the farmer is interested.
Tire manufacturers expect to reap
much beneht from heavy car sales and
are providing for "A corresponding In
crease In output. Assuming that each
car Will consume six tires 4 yea and
that the 5000. 600 cars already running
remain In commission at the end OF an
o.ler year. annual tire require nan Will
reach $4,000, 600. which would mean
something like $500. 600, 900 to the tire
manufacturers.

Labor IL Sole Problem.

Further expansion OF building and gem
eral manufacturing activity on the pres
ent scale should cause wen greater ex-
pansion in the motor car and tire Indus
tries next year is the opinion of Mr.. de
Llsser. the only dangerous element In the
situation being the labor problem and Its
effect upon prices. He says:
To-day all classes OF manufacturers
are competing for labor. for there is
practically no immtl ration. hence no
new supply CIon watch to draw. one
employer has been outbidding another
until unskilled labor Is able to command
wages Us grea; az skilled labor ordinarily
receives. While manufacturers can get
high prices for their goods there will
be no hardship to any one. But what
will haispen after the nations Of Europe
settle their differences and construction
takes the place of destruction?

GEN. WEAVER SAYS j. S.
NEEDS MOBILE Army
Supported by Well-Equipped Coast
Artillery, to Properly Protect
Our Coasts.

That a country unprotected by modern,
adequate coast defenses, has no insurance
against the appearance of an enemy feet
in its harbor some day, bent upon the
collection of an indemnity almost as
great as would be the cost of a war.
was one OF the timely statements con-
tained in an address, Our Coast De-
fenses." delivered by Mai. Gen. E. NJ
Weaver. U. S. A. chief of the United
States Coast Artillery. before members
of the National Geographic Society. at
New Masonic Temple. last night.
The powerful fixed defenses, batteries
and forts, Gneral Weaver said. only
serve the object of protecting points of
great commercial wealth, or anchorages
of high strategic value, for our fleet or
the fleet of the enemy. The duty of guard
ing other parts of the coast, according to
the lecturer. falls upon the mobile army,
supported by, the coast artillery. Part Of
the equipment for this type of our de-
fenses, he said, should consist of the
formidable. large-caliber, transportable
guns, such as have proved of tremendous
value with the armies on the fearful fields
of Europe.
The forts that guard our Atlantic and
Pacific coasts, Gen. Weaver continued
are well-built. though in many of them
the armament was installed in the days
of battleship type far inferior to that of
the present, mounting guns of much
shorter range. The sixteen-inch guns that
We possess today, he said, cost about 81. 900
to fire. and their projectiles are hurled
for a distance of twenty miles in an
arc that would bridge Mont Blanc piled
upon Pixies Peak
