WASHINGTON. August Ex-senator

amendment to the revenue bill intended

Hitchcock is himself a newspaper

passes $40 a ton n tax Of 81 n ton
would prevail until sa5 is reached.
Wheh the tax would be increased to
- ana mount UP gradually until a tax
Of $40 would prevail on paper selling
for more than $40.
My proposed amendment is designed
NOT so much to raise revenue said Mr..
Hitchcock. las it is to make it un-
profitable for paper manufacturers to
charge eNorbitant prices for news
print paper.
The price of news print papcr has
been for several years until recently
s"Iiing around 2 cents a pound at the
h''i!S. lherc has been an increase in
Tue Of pa per in tho last
NV" years Tor two reasons First. the
great increase in circulation arising
from the war, and more recently, The
increased volume of advertising due to
prosperity. The result is that all sur
Plus stock OF paper has practically dis.
appeared.
The mills are making about $500
tons a day. and We are importing about
loo tons a day from Canada but this
docs not meet the demand. The result
is that manufacturers whose product

advantage Of the situation to soil paper
