the outlaw chieftain cannot hope to

Five columns OF Carranzistas, Co

which Villa might escape and the
trap is rapidly coming together
around him and his men in the Ma
Iniquipa country.
Dispatches from Carranza
sources received at FL Paso and
Fort Bliss lend credit to the report
that Villa is located at Eloso, near
Namiquipa.
Civil Governor Enriquez of Chi

Villa cannot escape from the pur-

Enriquez also asserts that the re-
ports that Gen. Luis Herrera. the

favor placing consumption tax OF
half cent a pound on refined sugar.
The consumption tax, as the name
implies, is tax payable or supposed
ly payable directly by the ultimate
consumer" 1t Is not a tax against
an industry but against the consum-
ers of the industry's product.
In the case of the proposed sugar
tax several ways might be devised OF
collecting this tax, but the despatch
yesterday indicated that, II imposed,
the ltax will probably be taken at the
reffneries. This Is in line with the
governments plan of collecting az
near the source as possible a plan
followed I'M the collection of the fed
eral income tax from employers on
the basis of the pay-rolls showing the
income of employees. 49,. ...

United States Internal Revenue De-
partment. Collector Haley Of the Ha.
wafi district. in response to a query
this morning. said that In all probabil-
ity the internal revenue offices Of the
country would be given the duty Of
securing the revenues.
THE consumption tax is figured to
reach the consumer-the man who
buys sugar for his own use," said
Collector Haley. 1T would, however,
he exceedingly difficult to collect the
tax through the retailer who sells to
the consumer, because Of the count
'ess number of stores. large and small.
which would handle sugar.
While we know nothing officially
Of this proposed tax 1t would seeHr
that the tax would be collected at the
-efineries or through the wholesalers.
Very likely internal revenue stamps
would be issued, as is the case for
the present internal reyenue-taxed
commodities"
Wine Tax Cited AZ Example.
The present emergency war tax on
wine is virtually a consumption tax.
Originally it was proposed in Con-
greSs to collect this tax from the man
ufacturer While the proposal was
being debated the manufacturers were
sending out huge orders to their Gus
toners, so that Congress foresaw its
W ECdIILS AhhEh
from imposing the tax on the manu-
facturer. Hence, the bill was changed
and the tax imposed on the seller, In
Hawaii the internal revenue office
deals with the retailers and must
check up on the books of all saloons
and other licensees.

sugar would be imposed is not pre-.

planters who have been considering
Increasing their acreage on account
of the heavy falling off in the pack,
which was believed to assure better
prices. are again in doubt. A report
is now current that Great Britain has
recently placed an absolute embargo
on all kinds of canned fruits, and that
this is likely to very markedly effect
prices for the coming season.
1t is not only that the sales of pine
apple in England will be cut off, f
this report is true. important as these
sales have been. but the report has
it that the California fruit contracts
have been Cancelled by the embargo,
thus throwing a tremendous lot of
the product back on the United States
for consumption. 1t is now argued
that this will break the prices of all
canned fruits.
