PLAN TO TAX AUTOS
s25O,OOO,OOOIN IN
RAISING REVENUE

Autoists and motorcyclists will
probably have to pay nearly quar-
GER of a billion dollars into the Fed
eral Treasury to help carry on the
war this year.
This is the total sum which Treas
nry Department experts said will be
brought in bX vehicle and gasolene
taxes put into the new revenue bill
by the House Ways and Means Conn
nittee.
Lowering Of the taxes decided upon
by the committee was regarded as
unlikely, although several repre-
sentatives have plans for raising
them when the bill comes before the
House The committee taxes are:
A 10 per cent tax on the gross sales
of autos and motorcycles depended
upon to bring in S70.000.o0o.
A 2-cent a gallon tax on gasolene
estimated TO bring in $45,oo0,OOo.
Auto License Tax.
A fat S5 license tax for motor
cycles, and a sliding tax for autos
beginning at SO for cars costing
$500 or less, and rising to SIS for
cars between $500 and $3.50, and to
$40 for cars between $3.50 and $1,000.
Each additional $500 cost between
81 900 and $1,000 adds $40 to the tax,
and each $500 over $1,000 adds $50
tax.
The license taxes are expected to
bring in $125. LOOT, 600. The Senate pro-
posed putting the same sort OF a tax
into the present revenue bill, all
though the rates were about half
those decided upon by the House
Committee.
Dropping Of plans to superimpose
an so per cent war profits tax on the
so to so per cent excess profits tax,
already decided upon, seems to be GER
tain unless Secretary OF the Treasury
McAdoo insists on his suggestion
that both taxes be put in the bill and
the Treasury Department given the
option OF laying the one that will
bring in the most.
II is the understanding of the COM
mittee that McAdoo will be satisfied
with the present plan.
Excess Profits Tax.
Committee members declare that
Ehe excess profits tax will get. in all
but q very few isolated cases, more
revenue than the war profits tax and
that to put an alternative tax plan
in the bill would involve administra-
tive difficulties. To put the war

American Legation in Bucharest was
found to have been entered and ran
sacked when American Minister No-

Vopicka reported TO the State De-
partment today that goods valued at
more than 100000 were stolen from

legation for safekeeping.
The seal on the doors were broken
and the Legation Building seriously
damaged. Germans are believed by

"At that time the department was re-

INCREASE SHOWN IN
RAILROAD RECEIPTS
(Bv Associated Pressl

CHICAGO, Dec. 19.-,Through state
ments issued by the federal admins
tration and the interstate commerce
commission. the bureau OF railroad
news and statistics here announced
today it is enabled to make an ap-
Proclamation of the average passenger
and freight receipts of the railroads IN
September, compared with the cores
bonding month last year. The aver
age receipts from passengers carried
one mile this year are given as 2.52o
cents, from freight per ton carried
one mile, 0.929 cents; those from
passengers carried a mile last year
were 1866 cents and from freight per
ton carried a mile last year, 0722
cents. Thus the average increase
under federal control is slightly more
than % per cent. in each case.
The bureau points out that this COM
putation is confirmed by the fact that
the average receipts for the whole
country in 1917 were 2.105 cents per
passenger mile, and OTIS cents per
freight ton mile, the difference being
normal between class one roads and
all roads.

Made Effort to Settle
Threatened Strike

LYNN, Mass, Dec. 19.-Work in the
Lynn factories of the General Elec.
trio company continued today notwith-
standing the announcement from the
Schenectady and Pittsfield plants that
a general strike had been authorized
by union representatives as a protest
against the discharge Of thirty men
In the Erie. Pa, plant.
Leaders of the 1000 employees here
said they were trying to bring about
a settlement of the controversy which
caused a strike early last summer and
for that reason thought it unlikely
that any sympathetic walkout would
be undertaken without further instruc-
tons from Schenectady. Representa-
tives of the war labor board now are
in this city arranging the final details
of adjustment of the previous strike
