Floyd and daughter Marie, accompa-
MED by relatives from Iowa, and with

PAPERS WILL NOW
PRINT FEWER PAGES

Publishers of daily newspa-
pers in greater New York, at a
meeting on Tuesday, took ac-
tion which will result in de-
crease of the number of pages
in their morning, evening and
Sunday issues of 120 pages a
week. The reduction Of so
many pages is a step to relieve
the news print paper situation,
which is regarded by the pub
fishers as very serious. Action
was also taken to eliminate
returns of unsold copies.

Advance in Liquor Tax.

The statement continues:
Notwithstanding the spread of pro-
hibition, collections on distilled spirits
for the first ten months of the current
fiscal year increased s10.o13.14O over
the corresponding period of year
ago. This is due, in great measure. to
the effective enforcement of the in
ternal revenue taxes on distilled spirits
1t is estimated that through the cam
paisn of the Treasury Department
against undergauging. equalizing and
blockading in distilleries. the revenue
of the government has been increased
by probably 100000 annually.
The only article of taxation showing
decrease is beer. Because of the
relatively low tax on fermented liquors
and the difficulty of getting untax paid
beer on the market, the loss in tax on
beer on account of fraud has been
negligible, and the decrease is due
principally to the increase in the pro-
hibition laws
