TAXES MAY COME
BOTH TEA AND COFFEE
WOMEN'S HATS AND WAISTS
ALSO MAY HELP TO RAISE
EIGHT BILLIONS.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE new
revenue bill upon which the house
ways and means committee has been
working since congress recessed
early in July will raise a total OF $S.
00O,0000O0 for the expenses of the
government in the present fiscal
year, Chairman Kitchin OF the com
mittee announced today when the
committee adjourned its sessions
until Monday. 1t is probable, Chair
man kitchin said, that the bill will
be introduced next week and be tax
en- up by the house for consideration
week from Monday.
The announcement that the rev
enue to be obtained under the bill
will reach the goal set by the treas
ury department was made by Mr..
kitchin after he had consulted the
committees accountant. Changes
in the schedules not as yet defin-
itely fixed may lower the total, it
was said, and in that event the COM
mittee may have to resort to Gus
toms tax and floor tax on tea, cof-
fee and similar products.
Changing conditions also may at
feet the amount of revenue 10 be OBJ
tanned. The committee is watching
the outcome of the effort To pass
n national war time prohibition
measure, which the senate is to take
up August "a. II prohibition meas
ure is enacted, revenues to be OBJ
tanned under the bill will be de
creased considerably.
The new tax on liquors may not
be announced until the bill is re-
ported to the house, but il is under
stood to provide a substantial in
crease on whiskey and other liquors
and soft drinks, total revenue of
sl.O000O0OO0 or more.
The committee today finally ap-
proved the tobacco schedule un-
changed from rates heretofore an
nounced.
In the 10 per cent tax of articles
deemed luNuries above a certain
price, it made the tax apply to
women's waists in excess OF SIS. in
stead of $40 as previously agreed
to. and to women's hats at SIS in
stead Of SIS.

COMMISSIONER
CONTESTS DECIDED
TAYLOR AND EVANS RETAIN
NOMINATIONS AFTER
RECOUNT

The county election board count
ed the ballots in answer to two pc
titions filed with it. The first was
the petition of NJ. r. Reed asking
for a recount of the vote in Heald-
ton, precinct 3 of Hewitt township,
Joe Taylor, his opponent having re-
ceivcd final majority in the district
Of fifteen votes. The result of this
recount was that two mutilated bal
lots which had been cast for Taylor
were thrown out, reducing his ma
iority to thirteen. No other errors
were found in this box and Taylor
is still entitled to the certificate of
election.
The other case was that wherein
Ben Stevens. present county COM
missioner, was candidate for re-
nomination, but was defeated by
George /. Evans by ten votes. In
this recount Stevens was the loser,
as Evans gained seventeen votes,
making his majority twenty-seven
instead OF ten. as first declared by
the board. Stevens had petitioned for
a recount Of all the boxes in the
district. and it was evening before
the task was completed
Neither of the parties in interest
could be found last night, but a
number of their friends expressed
the opinion that there would not be
any further contest in either case.

If government expenses and
loans to allies fall much below
the S24,0O0.0O0.O00 estimate, the
government is expected TO try
TO combine two loans into one
big campaign for the largest
credit ever sought by any ma
ton. Such a campaign will be
set for some time in the late
winter.
Money needs between loan
periods will be financed by sale
of short term certificates of in
debtedness. as in the past. In
addition the treasury looks for
a steady inflow of money from
tax certificates. which banks
and corporations probably will
buy in billion dollar quantities
as a means of virtually paying
their taxes in advance.
