MOTOR TRUCK TAX |S FIVE PER CENT
 0N GROSS SALES
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, July 30-A ten per cent tax on gross sales of manufactur- CTS, producers and importers of auto mobiles, piano players. graphophones, sporting goods, cosmetics, patent medi- Cines. cameras and similar articles, was tentatively agreed upon today by the house ways and means committee. The present excise tax on most of these articles ranges around three per cent. Motor trucks will be taxed only half the increased rate, on the ground they are for business purposes.
 Some of the committee voted against the motor truck tax and the committee finally compromised on five per cent on gross sales on original transactions. There was no effort to put a tax on gasoline
 The treasury department has recom- mended doubling the present rates on tobacco. The committee wants more revenue than this would yield and will decide the increases later. Data laid before the committee showed that con- sumption of cigars in this country is decreasing, while cigarette consump- lion is mounting rapidly.
 Consider Increase Movie Tax
 Chairman kitchin said tonight:
 The committee also had under con- slderatlon tax on admlsSlonS to the aters, operas, moving picture shows, etc. The committee favored doubling the tax on admissions and club dues and also to impose a one cent tax on all admissions where the maximum charge does not exceed seven cents. Under existing law, all moving picture shows, theaters and other amusements whose maximum charge does not ex- ceed five cents are exempt from the tax.
 The committee proposes tomorrow to take up the luxury tax suggestions Of the treasury department"
 Action Not Conclusive
 Today's comittee action. it was said does not commit the committee to q general gross sales or consumption tax

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

NEW YORK, July 3O.-Aubrey, W. Vaughan, captain in the quarter masters corps of the United States army was indicted today by a federal grand jury on a charge or conspiracy to defraud the government in connec- tion with contracts for rain-coa
 Indicted also were Felix Gouled, a manufacturer, who was arrested last week, with nearly score of other men, in connection with the governments inquqiry into alleged frauds in con- tracts; and David l..

 There are two counts in the in dictments against the three men. The first charges conspiracy to defraud and to commit an offense against the United States and the second using the mails in scheme to defraud"
 The indictments allege that Gouled had an agreement with Captain Vaughan, who is attached to the supply and equipment division of the quarter master generals office in Washington, whereby Gouled was to assure rain coat manufacturers he could get gov ernment contracts for them on the pay liic hl tO 1OulSu OL d

NEW ENGLAND FUEL
 SITUATION SERIOUS

WASHINGTON, July 30.-Increas- ing demands for coal from overseas andf or the emergency fleet, army navy and other government operations threaten the New England fuel supply for next winter. Shipments to New England are behind the schedule fig ured on the ratio of production neces- sary to supply the needs of the dis trict. it became known. ta
 Bituminous coal production in Penn sylvania. Maryland and West Virginia, the three states assigned to supply the New England district. was on July 13 at a ratio of 77,O00,000 tons for the coal year beginning April 1. while pro- duction on that date should have been at the rate of 91,600000 tons. Out of the allotment for New England coal must come also for the emergency fleet army, navy and overseas ship ments. Part of the production from l Ohio fields probably will be diverted to relieve the situation.
 l These facts were brought out at q conference attended by Chairman Ba =
 ruch of the war industries board i Chairman Hurley of the shipping | board. representatives of the railroad
 administrator and Fuel Administrator Garfield.
Arizona republican., 1918-07-31

although that may be resorted to at the last moment if the revenue yield from all other sources is not sufficient. It has been estimated that a gross sales tax on all articles and on tran sections affecting all articles would produce upwards of s2,000,000,O00 if only two per cent rate was adopted.
 Under the present law, the tax on automobiles, trucks. piano players, graphophones, monographs, talking machines and records, sporting goods and cameras, sold bv the manufactur- CTS or producer or importer, is three per cent of sale price; on perfumes. cosmetics. proprietary medicines. toilet soaps and waters, hair dyes, and tooth pastes. and chewing gum two per cent: club dues ten per cent and ad- missions to amusements, one per cent per ten cents or less paid, and in case of permanent or leased use of opera house or other amusement seats. and boxes, ten per cent of sale price.
