THE PROPOSED LUXURY TAXES.

TvHE term luxury will have new and drastic meanings for Ameri
cans if the tax schedule presented by the Treasury Department
to the House Ways and Means Committee becomes law.
1t may surprise not a few men to find q pair Of socks costing
forty cents in the luxury clasa Thirtyfve cent hosiery is the high
est the proposed schedule permits to go untaIed.
Twenty per cent on the price Of automobiles and motorcycles
win cause less protest The public might reioios II more people Svaee

At the same time profiteering IN the United States prevails 10 a

actual economic values, do not belong there.
