Proposed War Taxes.

The War Revenue bill is designed to
produce $780, 900. 900 during the coming
year. To this end the familiar devices of
increasing the tax on distilled and fer
mented liquors and on manufactures of
tobacco are resorted to, and many stamp
taxes are imposed. The last named taxes,
however, are to be restricted in the main
TO bonds. stocks, instruments Of credit and
other documents. Cigar boxes and other
packages containing manufactured tobacco
in its various forms will be adorned as
usual by Government stamps but these
stamps will really be. as they now are,
certificates indicating that the tax on the
number Of cigars or cigarettes or the guam
THY of tobacco inclosed in the containers
has been paid, without specifying any
amount.
The innovations made by the bill are
in the form Of taxes on the issuance Of
life insurance policies (fraternal certificates
excepted and on the premiums paid for
fire. marine and casualty insurance upon
automobiles, movie-films, jewelry. yachts.
rackets, bats, golf clubs, and balls Of all
kinds. including billiard balls; and on
tickets to places Of amusement. All of
these taxes are to be paid. in the first in
stance, by the seller, who will, of course,
pass the charge on to the purchaser The
tax on theatre tickets will be 10 per cent.
SO $1.50 seats will hereafter cost Sl.65.
The l0-cent movies will probably raise the
price of admission to is cents, TO save the
making of very small change. The pro-
posed tax on freight and express charges
and passenger fares, however, is required
to be collected by the railroad companies
from the persons for whom the transporta-
ton service is rendered. The present tax
on telephone service and telegraph mes
sages is collected in this manner, as would
also be the increased tax proposed in the
bill. Local telephone users, who were graft
fled by the announcement of a reduced
service charge will have to give up to the
Government about as much as the Bell
Company yielded. One thrilling innova-
ton Of the War Revenue bill is the imposi-
ton Of a tax on grape juice and soft drinks
equivalent in amount to about one-half
the additional tax on beer.
Considerably more than one-half the
Governments war revenues will leone from
import duties and income taxes. The hori-
zontal increase Of the present customs of
dues by 10 per cent, the abolition OF the
free list and the imposition of a fiat ad
valorem rate on imports hitherto undut-
able are expected to yield $4,000, 900
of additionalrevenue. The present income
from the customs would therefore be about
double next year. The income tax increases
are designed to produce 100000
more than the present receipts. The nor
NAL tax on all incomes has been increased
by 2 per cent, which means that il will
be per cent. hereafter. The exemptions
of individual incomes have been reduced
in the bill to $1,000 for single and $4,000
for married persons. The head of family
earning, say. $500. would be required to
pay direct tax Of $40, in addition to the
indirect tax resulting from higher import
duties and the increased cost Of all neces-
saries of life.

Preston's "Hindenburg Line"

Mayor Preston's Hindenburg Line" is
what the people Of Baltimore county are
calling the outline Of the tract Of Baltimore
county land which the Mayor and his aids
are endeavoring to annex to the city. They
probably have in mind the epieram OF Pre-
mier uoyd-George OF England. who de-
scribed Hindenburg line as "a line drawn on
the property Of another"
Baltimore countians admit that the stu
alton would be quite different il the city
were still apart Of Baltimore county, as il
was prior to 1850. The State Constitution
of that year, and acts passed year or two
afterward, made the citya distinct division
Of the State, giving 1t the status Of a county
The separation was made at the insistence
of the county people. who claimed the city
was getting much the better Of the county
in the matter Of the division Of taxes. The
court house. which served both the city
and the county. was burned in 1884, and
the interest on the cost of rebuilding was
saddled on the city and county in equal
shares. although at that time the city had
forged far ahead Of the county in popula-
ton and wealth. The county taxpayers
also alleged their allotted portion Of the
cost Of maintenance Of the aims house and
jail was much too large. The agitation
for a separation was spontaneously re-
sisted by the city, but after fight for fif-
teen years II was successful.
Then, the county people claim, the city
began to scheme to get by annexation the
advantage Of the county that il could no
longer get by an unfair division Of taxes
An annexation act was passed by the
Legislature in 1874 and another in 1888,
both providing for popular vote on the
question. as Is ordained by the Constitu-
ton. The proposition Of 1874 was defeated
at the polls two to one, but in 1888 the
county people, relying upon their former
easy victory. paid but little attention to
the campaign and the city secured a ma.
jority in the northern and western suburbs, |
Highlandtown electing to remain In the |
county. The county people claimed that
the city's partial victory was obtained by
almost unlimited use Of money.
The bill which the city authorities have

donment and separation has been continu-
Gus and uninterrupted ever since the

deliberate and final. and that the separa-
ton Of the parties is beyond any reason
