Proposed Taxing of War Profits
Involves Deputies in Many
Difficulties.
By YVES GUYOT,

Economlaus st Flnsnolefe.'

fspccial Cable 70 Tle Tribune
Paris. Feb. 14.-Aristide BRAND,
Minister of the Interior, returned to-
day from Italy, and one good result
follows Immediately from the trip.
II appears that all commercial rela-
tions had not been broken off be
tween Italy and Germany, but now
they will be.
1t appears that in the Chamber or
Deputies no one contests the tax on
war profits. Nevertheless, such a tax
will cause tho following conse-
Guences:
If war profits are taxed war losses
must be indemnified. II the state
tsxes profits on contracts made by
itself it virtually withholds part OF
the pay agreed on. The tax will
hrve a retroactive effect. All lndl-
viduals, firms or companies engaged
in commercial business will have to
submit TO inquisition into their al
fairs. Estimates Of the number
affected by the tax vary from
10000 by the government TO 2,OOO,-
600 by one Deputy. These figures
lack precision. In reality, all per
sons engaged in commerce can be
suspected Of having made unusual
Profits owing TO the war, and those
whom the inquisitions overlook can
rely on being denounced by some
one.
If a wrong declaration Is made the
tax can be doubled, tripled or quad
rupled. and this would amount to
ccnfscation. It will take until two
wears after the end Of the war to
decide all contested cases. Promoters
Of the law can succeed in having 1t
passed. but they cannot successfully
argue that it will develop business or
assist credit.
Singular things are heard about
war profits. II is said, for example,
that the Bank of France has rem
dered great services tc the state
commerce and industry since the
var, but has been well paid for it.
The facts are that the banks busi-
ress in 1915 netted it a profit Of
23.325.790 francs, but the total
turned over to the state under vari-
Gus forms Of taxation and fixed
charges has been 23.009,648 francs
Of 0S per cent of the net profits.

GROGAN's PLAN WAS
TURNED DOWN QUICK

ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. 29.-The pro
posals of Judge George C. Grogan, of
the City Court of Elberton, to the
thirteen other candidates for the three
places ON the Court of Appeals benhc,
to allow the Supreme Court to select
the nominees has been abandoned. This
was made necessary because Alex
Stephens, of Atlanta. and Henry Full
bright, of Waynesboro, two of the can
didates. did not believe it practicable,
althouhg the only other requirement
than an agreement between those run
ming would be the approval of the
Democratic Executive committee
Judge Grogan consulted st. Elmo Mas
sengale, secretary of the Executive
ommittee, and showed him it was feas-
lille.
Because the candidates would not
agree the question was never submit
ted to the Supreme Court. Judge Gro
gan was perfectly willing to have
this done, believing as he Gid that it
would result in more satisfactory
selection because the campaign must
be so short the people will not have an
opportunity to study the qualifications
Of the candidates. Since the plan has
been abandoned, Judge Grogan has
taken up the campaign and will CEN
tralize his fight in north Georgia on
the ground that this section is not rep
resented on either appellate court
bench, except by Atlanta lawyers.
Judge Grogan has been judge of the
City Court of Elberton for six years
He has the endorsement of all mem
bers of the bar on the Northern cir
cult.

EXPECTS DROP
IN PRICE OF GASOLINE

SAVANNAH, Ca, Aug. 1J.-Savan-
nah dealers are anticipating further
drop of 1 cent in the price of gasoline
within the next few days and predict
that the motor fuel will be selling at
Ii cents a gallon by December.
Opening of twelve new eli wells il.
Texas and Oklahoma is the basis for
the belief. Already the new wells have
resulted in decline of about Is cents
g barrel in the price of crude oil.
The new supply also has caused
drop of from "a to % cents gallon in
the retail price of gasoline here. The
predicted price for early this week is
q cents, with probable further de-
cine to 20 cents in the near future.

THE FARMERS BORROW
MONEY AT 6 PER CENT

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 29.-
In statement last night Analysing the

action year ago in establishing pref
erential discount rates on commodity

Of the total New England banks were
lending $13,Oo0,ooo; those Of the East

states, $37,Ooo,Oo0; Middle states, $685.
100000; Western states, $2,5oO,O0O and
Pacific states about $4,000, 900. The re-
suit, the comptroller says, Las been to
give the farmer money at s per cent,

Everyone Should
Drink Hot Water
in the Morning
Wash away all the stomach, liver,
and bowel poisons before
breakfast.

To feel your best day in and day out,
to feel clean inside; no sour bile to
coat your tongue and sicken your
breath or dull your head; no constipa-
ton, bilious attacks, sick headache,
colds, rheumatism or gassy, acid stom-
ach, you must battle on the inside lika
you battle outside. This is vastly more
important, because the skin pores do
not absorb impurities into the blood.
while the bowel pores do, says a we'll
known physician.
To keep these poisins and toxins
well flushed from the stomach, liver.
kidneys and bowels drink before break
fast each day, a glass of hot water
with a teaspoonful of limestone phos-
plate in it. This will cleanse, purify
and freshen the entire alimentary tract,
before putting more food into the
stomach.
Get quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from your pharmacist. It
is inexpensive and almost tasteless,
except a sourish twinge which is not
unpleasant. Drink phosphated hoG
water every morning to rid your sys-
TEN of these vile poisons and toxins
also to prevent their formation
To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood, nerves and
muscles became saturated with an ac-
emulation of body poisons, begin this
treatment and above all, keep it up!
As soap and hot water act on the skin,
cleansing, sweetening and purifying, so
limestone phosphate and hot water be-
fore breakfast, act on the stomach
liver, kidneys and bowels.
