2 Per Cent Tax on
Gasoline Defeated

7O4 Metropolitan Bank Building.
WASHINGTON May 9.-Due
almost wholly to the organized
and untiring efforts Of the Okla
homa members in congress,
the two cents gallon tax on
gasoline was eliminated entirely
from the revenue raising tax bill
reported to the house today. 1t
is believed, thru their efforts, it
can be defeated in the senate and
finally on the floor.
At two cents gallon, Okla
homa would be taxed more than
S220, 100000 a year on this ono
item, and too much credit cannot
be given to oklahoma congress-
men, especially Chandler, who
sWayed practically every Repub-
lican member of the committee
who favored it, and to Carter.

WASHINGTON, May 9.--The war
tax bill extending its excuses to the
fabric Of every American home was
formally presented to the house today
by the ways and means committee
with plans for quick passage
rs a forecast of what may come
later, it proposes special taxes to
raise $500, 100000 in addition to the
present normal amount Of annual
revenue of $1,5OO.OOO,OOO. When it's
terms are effective the American peo-
pie will be paying direct taxes of $33
per capita The people of the British
lsles-half as many-now pay a per
capita tax of $50.
Not u Home Missed.
While the principal features of the
new war levy are the increases in in
come and profits taxes, Increases in
! internal revenue rates and increases
of customs duties. many of its pro-
visions reach the innermost structure
| of every home and make up list Of
taxes probably the most formida BILE
ever faced by the American people.
The household, light, heat and tele-
| phone bills, admission tickets to
,
hallway tickets. automobiles, automo-
bile tires and tubes, soft drinks. post
age rates, golf clubs and baseball bats,
club dues and a hest of other every
day necessities or luXuries come under
/ the taxation.
Hard on DaiIics.
Increased postage rates on news
papers arranged in n zone system,
are such that publishers say they
will force many newspapers 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 hearings on it
and probably make some amend
ments.
When Democratic Leader Kitchin
presented the bill to the house today
he announced that general debate
would begin tomorrow and that he
had hoped to pass it by Saturday.
There is some objection, however 10
hurrying the bill and it probably Will
be passed the early part Of next week.
In presenting the bill. the ways
and means committee made Il report,
saying in part:
The Committee Report.
"After carefully considering he eX-
periences of the European countries
at war, the committee believes 1t IS
sound economic policy for the present
generation to bear a fair and equit-
able portion of the burden of financ-
ing the war and recommends tha. the
remaining contemplated expense OF

TRENCH GREASE

To all Of us who realize wildly the
hardships to which our men are ex-
posed in the trenches it is pleasant to
hear that one of the discoveries of
the war is the efficacy of trench
grease. It appears that when the feet
and legs are we'll rubbed with the
grease that is literally supplied to
our men, the cold and damp are
robbed of great deal Of their terror.
A young soldier who has had Is
months in the British trenches, and Is
at the present moment on his way
back to them, tells that on one occa-
sion on his way to his trench near
Festubert he got begged in the swamp
and had to be pulled out by four OF
his comrades, who succeeded in ex-
tricating him, but at the expense OF
leaving his "rubbers" in the mud. AS
a result he had to put In four days in
the wet trenches In his stockings.
Thanks, however, to trench grease, he
was able to keep himself tolerabiy
warm and in any case suffered no evil
effects from the OVERWHELMINGLY
Scotsman. ~=s.-*
