WAR TAX MEASURE
REACHES INTO
EVERY HOME

Washington. May 9. The war
tax bill, rXtcnding its exercises TO
the fabric Of every American
home, was formally presented 70
the House today by the ways and
means committee, with plans for
quick passage
As a forecast Of what may come
later, it proposes special taxes to
raise 81 500, 600, 600 in addition to
the present normal annual ro..
cnuc Of *1 600, 100000. When It's
terms are effective, the American
people will be paying direct tax
c4 Of 1913 per capita. The people
Of the British Isles half as many
now pay per capita taxes Of 800.
While the principal features Of
the new war levy are increases in
income and profits taxes, internal
revenue rates and customs duties,
many Of its provisions reach th"
inncrmost structure Of every home
and make up list Of taxes prob
ably the most formidable ever
faced by the American people.
The household light. heat and
telephone bills, tickets Of admls-
sion to amuscments, fire and life
insurance, >, railway tickets, auto
mobiles, automobile tires and
tubes, soft drinks, postage rates,
golf clubs and baseball bats, club
dues and a host Of other everyday
necessities or IuXurics come under
taxation.
Rates on Newspapers.
Increased postage rates on
newspapers, arranged III a zone
system, are such that publishers
say they will force many newspa-
pers out Of business.
Already protests against many
features Of the law are pouring IN,
and attacks upon it will center in
the Senate finance committee,
which will conduct. public hear
ings on it and probably make
some amendments.
In presenting the bill, the ways
and means committee made re-
port saying, in part:
"After carefully considering
the experience Of the European
at war, the committee
believes it is sound economic pol
icy for the present generation to
bear a fair and equitable portion
Of the burden Of financing the
war. and recommends that the re-
contemplated expenses of
the government for the remainder
Of this and the whole Of the next |
fiscal wear be raised by taxation.
The effect Of this recommendation
is that about One-half Of this con
templated expenditure will be
met by taxation and the other
half from the proceeds from the
bonds.
To Yield Big Sum.
cit is estimated that the re-
rcipts Of the federal government,
postal receiptS, for the
fiscal year under existing law, will
amount TO $1.500.G00.0o0. The |
bill is estimated to yield |
during a twelve-month period
Fl 800 oo0.000 additional This |
will make the total receipts Of the |
government for the next fiscal
year $3.3OO,aO0.0O0, or about @33
per capita. as compared to Great !

than half the United States, whose |
'eceiDts. including postal receipts,
for the year ending March 3lst,
1917. amounted $2 10000, 900, or
about $50 per capita.

RUMORS REVIVED BY
RETURN OF JOHNSON
Talk of Shorter Season and Third
League Is Heard Again.

Chicago, Oct. 3o.-The question Of a
shorter playing schedule for the ma
jor leagues and the possibility of a
third major league as a war meas
ure was revived today with the re-
turn OF B. b. Johnson, president Of
the American League.
There will, however. be opposition
to the proposed 140-game schedule, as
Charles A. Comiskey. owner of the
White Sox, has already expressed his
disapproval OF any shorter schedule
than ia games. 1t is said that two
other club owners in the American
League also will oppose a short sched-
ule.
"A new league might benefit the
game during the war and II should be
considered a war measure exclusive
ly." said Mr.. johnson. 1T is a GER
tainty that the minor leagues will
have to make some adjustments next
season in order to get by. They can
not go on as they have in the past"
He did not indicate what cities
might be grouped into a new league.

The Washington herald., 1917-10-31

Laurel, Nd, Oct. 30-The track was
sea of mud today and as a result
the card was scratched to the bone.
The attendance was far below the
average on account of the Indictment
weather and very little enthusiasm
was shown by the small gathering.
The Blue and Gray Handicap, the
outstanding feature was scratched to
four starters. Naturalist who has
performed SO consistently in the mud
made a runaway affair Of the event
and Won as his rider wished. Water
Lady came from a long ways behind
and beat out the Brighton stable for
the place. The purse was worth $3.50
to the winner.
The Marine Liberty Bond Handicap
was also scratched to two starters.
Priscilla Mullens and Deckmate beina
the only two horses to answer the
bugle's call. 1t was no contest as far
as Priscilla Mullens was concerned as
she went to the front with a rush
and won easily.
N. K. Beale was much the best in
the fifth race when he led his field
the entire journey. Spectre was sec
ond and Flare, third. A big commits
sion went in on Comacho but he never
showed any speed whatsoever.
Miss Philley. a 37-to-1 shot, won the
opening number. Green Grass was
second and Golding. third. The latter
paid 20 to 1 to show. Trentino won
the closing number by fifteen lengths.

E. AINSMITH Denies
STATEMENT OF SALE
Catcher Claims He Never Stated
That He and Johnson Would
|. Go to Indians.

( Another record baseball deal with
a commensurate price. IL Old Dame
Rumor is correct, will soon be
consumated in the sale of Wal
ter johnson and his battery mate,
Eddie Ainsmith, to the Cleveland club
by Clark Griffith, the foxy National
pilot.
The purchase price for the sterling
battery is said to be $4,000. but Grit
fifth not only denies being offered
any such sum. but refuses to con-
firm the report that the sale has
been made.
This new rumor sprang from a
Philadelphia newspaper man who is
corresponding for his paper at the
army cantonment at Camp Meade,
Md. This correspondent claims that
Eddie Ainsmith, who was a visitor
at Admiral on Monday, stated that
he had positive knowledge of some
transaction in reference to the sale
of both Johnson and himself.
Ainsmith last night denied that he
ever made such a statement and
claims he did not remember talking
to any newspaper men on his visit
to the cantonment.
This report comes in the face of
another rumor that Johnson was to
be acquirer by the New York YAM
KEGS, Rupert and Huston, the YAM
kee owners, were said to have been
negotiating for the purchase OF the
smoke ball" artist.
The big Kansas speed ball star
has been a member of the Washing
ton club since his debut in the ma
jors. and while for many years rated
as the best in the pitching line, he
has never figured in a world cham
pionship series.

STATE WILL PLAY
TARHEELS SATURDAY

The Maryland State College football
squad was out for practice yesterday
in preparation for its game in Central
Stadium next Saturday with North
Carolina State team. This is the first
meeting between these two teams
since 1909, when the State College
eleven was defeated by 31-to-O, at
Raleigh.
North Carolina is a little heavier
in the forwards than State, but the
backfield is about the same weight.

Club owners ARE
OPPOSED To PLANS
Shortening of Playing Season in
Major Leagues Meeting
With Opposition.

New York, Oct. 30.-Although Presi-
dent Ban johnson, of the American
League. and Charley Ebbets. Of the
Brooklyn Dodgers. are in favor Of a
shorter playing season. there is much
opposition springing up among mag
mates against the curtailment Of the
national game.
The latest to voice his opposition to
the shortening Of the schedule is
President Comiskey. of the worlds
champion White Sox. Two other
American League owners are siding
with Comiskey. They believe that the
schedule should call for 154 games, as
formerly.
The magnates who favor the shorter
schedule point out that the clubs will
save money in spring training and
players salaries; that the weather
conditions in an early opening have
during the past few seasons been de-
plorable; that in the late fall second
division club plays only to a handful
of spectators, while the expenses are
Just as high at that time of the year
as they are in mid-season when fans
flock by the thousands to the ball
parks.
On the other hand the masnates who
favor the regular schedule point out
that a team in a driving finish will
make a cleanup on the season.
They point out to the drives made by
the Braves and the Giants. Three
years ago the Braves came from the
cellar to a worlds championship. The
drive gave added interest to baseball.
Fans thronged to the Braves games
and interest was at fever heat.
Last year the Giants made their re-
markable record OF straight wins.
Again interest was keen among the
fans Both of these drives were made
late in the year and the longer sched-
ule advocates say that had the sea-
son been shortened as is now contem-
plated there would have been no in
terest in these games because the
playing season would have been over
before the two teams had started
their steam rolling"

President Branch Hickey has a high
opinion Of CoOmbs, who has practical
ly decided to retire from the diamond.
Coombs also has been strongly rec
commended to Hickey, it is said, by
Gov. John X. Tener. Col. Ebbets, of
the Brooklyns. said yesterday that he
knew nothing about the proposed en-
gagement of the Iron Man and that
the latter still was the property OF
