Luxury Taxation
A New Feature
according to newspaper reports the
Treasury and Congress contemplate the
adoption Of taxes similar to the French
luxury taxes, the addition Of new
sources of consumption taxes and con-
siderable increases in the rates Of the
consumption taxes already imposed.
There has, however, been no indication
that they intend to use some Of these
sources to the full or to make use of
other productive and legitimate sources
Of revenue which have hitherto been
neglected.
The suggested rates on liquors, Sc
barrel of thirty-one gallons on fer
mented liquors and s6.40 a gallon on
distilled liquors, as against the present
rates Of So barrel and $500 a gallon,
are perhaps as high as it is wise to go
ct present, although the English budget
Of l918-I9 proposes $12 a barrel of
thirty-six gallons on fermentcd liquors
and $40 a gallon on distilled liquors,
The present rate on manufactured
tobacco is IL cents pound; on cigars
from 50 per 1000 (4-10 cent per cigar
on cigars retailing at from cents to
z cents, to $40 per 1000 q cent per
clgar) on cigars retailing at over 20
cents; on cigarettes, $2.05 per 1000.
These rates are extremely low. The
English rate on manufactured tobacco
is S1.95 per pound, and in the budget
OF 191S-19, it is proposed to increase
it to $2.48. The English rates on
cigars and cigarettes are also levied by
the pound and amount to 1924 on the
former and $2.38 on the latter, with
proposed increases to $3.50 and S3.O3,
respectively. 1t is difficult to estimate
the equivalent on pound basis of our
rate on cigars, but it is safe to say that
it is under rather than over so cents.
On cigarettes it is about 70 cents.
There seems to be no reason why the
rate on manufactured tobacco should
not be increased to rs cents, and the
rates on cigars and cigarettes quadru-
pied instead of doubled, as is sug-
gested, according to newspaper reports
This would mean 1.6 cents per cigar
retailing at from cents to cents to
4 cents per cigar retailing at over 20
cents and 16 cents per package of 20
cigarettes. Such rates would either
bring in $100,000,0 900 more revenue than
the proposed rates, or would appreci-
ably curtail consumption, either Of
which results is to be desired. Such
rates on cigars would not be excessive,
judged by our own practice during the
Civil War. Under the act of June 80,
1864, the tax on cigars ranged from
| So to $45 per 1000.

Plan for Removing
The Disparity

Members of the exchange, a South
ern shipper and Northern spinner
who were present outlined pro-
gramme for removing this disparity.
which at the present moment is rela-
lively slight, because the approaching
crop, with its large supply of good cot
ton, has tended to remove the>premium.
for the time ,-yeS---. "a '.east, on the bet
ter grades.
The brokers suggested that the situ-
alton be remedied not by destroying
the New York market, which they said
served as q hedge for the spinners and
shippers against future price changes,
but by building it up. They advissd
that the cotton trade could be stabfl'
lied if transportation facilities for
shipping cotton to New York were i'm
proved and storage warehouses here
extended and provisions for rebilling
made. The result of these alterations,
they said, would be to make New York
a spot market Of greater Importance.
which would have a large reserve sup
ply Of cotton, which would enable this
city to serve American spinners in the
same manner that Liverpool had served
English spinners.
The Bureau of Market investigators
accepted the suggestions In excellent
spirit, and the whole manner in which
they conducted the hearings was In
telligcnt and commendable. They treat
ed the members of the exchange with
every courtesy and consideration, and
at the same time neglected to ask no
question, no matter how embarrassing
which they believed essential for the
solution of the present wartime
tangles in the cotton industry IN the
interest of the general public, whom
they have been chosen to serve.
, They have now heard the Northern
SIDE of the story, both from the brok'
erA aud the spinners. Next they pro-
ceed Nouth, where cotton can be seen
in three dimensions. They are Likely
to hear some harsh words against tne
brokers whom they queried in. new
York, but if thes give their new
sources of information t1~ privilege o.
consulting "the fabric of fact faich
already has been spun there maS =
suit In clearer thinking about the coz
ton industry all around, particularly Il

ern interests in tine same way.

MEN URGENTLY NEEDED
 F0R LUMBERMEN' UNITS

Woodsmen, lumberrnen and road and bridge builders are urgently needed for army service, and the war department asks that publicity be given to the fact that the Twentieth engineers, the "lumbermen's regi- ment," needs 5000 men at once for service in France. All classes of woodsmen are needed in this organ tzation, from woods bosses to cooks and woods laborers; for logging rail roads, track bosses, trackmen, Tocomo- tive engineers and fremen, brakemen, machinists and laborers; and for saw mills, foremen, machinists, engineers

So far, in the Territory of Alaska at least, there has been no attempt to ration or curtail by force of law or regulation the amount of food that any person should eat, but the necessity of the hour has been plainly stated over and over again from press and platform and campaigner. If any per son does not now understand what that need is, a reference to the Home Card will give 1t. Anyone who has lost the Home Card which was dis bursed to her or who has not ysl had it, can obtain one by application to the chairman of the food saving com mittee in his or her community or by applying to the office of the feder- al food administrator in Juneau.

and all the various classes of labor used in such industries, as well as blaming mill mechanics and a few ste- nographers experienced in sawmiII work.
 Practical experienced men only are wanted, and the pay, when abroad, ranges from $93 per month for pri- yates to $96 for master engineers.
 Men subject to draft must receive permission to enlist in the lumber, mems units of the Twentieth engf- neers, and those considering them selves qualified for such service should wire or write to Major E. c.

Heretofore, Alaskans, as we'll as citizens of other states and territor- ies, have striven at economy in the matter of food in order to protect the pocket-book The food conditions in the world today, due to the withdraw
 al of millions of men from pursuits productive of foodstuffs in order that they might become defenders of dem ocracy; the cutting off from ourselves and our associates in the war of practically every food market in the world other than those of the United States and Canada, and the destruc- tion of enormous quantities of food and food-carrying vessels by the sub marine warfare, has brought us in the United States face to face with a new problem, namely, that of real self-sacrifice and denial which should and in reality does, either directly or indirectly affect each individual man, woman and child in the entire world.

NO RESTRICTION ON LAMB.

"The food administration has placed no restriction on the use of lamb, except only on meatless Tues day" says a telegram sent from Washington, D. C., with the approval of Herbert Hoover to Charles Heb bert, federal food administrator for Washington.
 "The administration fully realizes that lamb must be eaten to keep the producers business at a fair profit, and desires that there be no falling off of consumption which will injure that industry.

J. H. Minteer. employed by the

serious injury yesterday afternoon
when an automobile tire exploded,
1ooSening the iron retaining ring,
which struck him on the head.
MInteer was struck a violent blow

knocked him unconscious, raised a
large confusion and cut his left ear
completely through for about two
thirds OF its length.
The accident happened when the
man took the tire across the street
to an air service station to get IT
inflated. The intense heat of the
day, together with a considerable
amount Of pressure, is said TO have
caused the explosion. The iron
band which struck Minteer was
bent, showing the force with which
it was thrown.
