Analysis Of the Treasury Depart

has created the same impression among
both Senate and House leaders-that
the suggestions form basis for taxes
TO be levied generally on all the peo-
pie II that becomes necessary. But
upon the necessity for such taxation
there Is wide divergence OF opinion.
Informally the House has rejected the
suggestion entirely; but this Is simply
because the majority OF the House has
made up its mind that before the aver
age American is called on TO pay taxes
on the clothes he buys and on his
amusements, the men who are max
Ing huge profits, some OF them out Of
the very necessaries which the treasury
proposes TO tax, must disgorge and re-
turn 10 the public in the form Of taxes

imposed on the sO-called "luXuries"
plus fair share OF the ordinary profits
Of such businesses.

Ing with the House and Senate commit
tees to determine how much they will

The taxes will be based on the depart

For instance, the proposal to tax
gasoline 10 cents a gallon II adopted

Congress Is hearing from the coun-

principally against the tax on clothing.
(which shows said a committee
member today, that these taxes which
may be accepted in France and England

because they would be considered un-

on he stated he had dependents and ne
told members Of his draft board ne
had conscientious objections. lie was
given a chance after his arrest. to pui
aside his objections and go into the
army service as other draftees did, but
persisted In the attitude he had as
sumed before his arrest.
DR.. Hickman at the fort was assigned
TO police duty and attired In overslls

did other work OF that character. He
was not put into military uniform. ht
remained at Fort Dupont until April
90. when he was transferred TO CamI
Dix. There he was assigned TO th'
Depot Brigade, but, according to Della
ware officers at Camp Dix, he was mo-
put In army uniform.
