WHAT ARE LUXURIES?

Ii is suggested that almost every
one agrees that luxuries should be
taxed, but as to just what "luxuries"
means there is rather wide diverg-
ence of opinion. We can all agree
that automobiles, jeV,-cy, musical IN
struments and canes are, as they have
been defined by the ways and means
committee, Injuries, but when it
comes to clothing, hotel bills, SER
wants and neckwear, there will be
loud dissenting voice. Clothing has
been for long time considered ne
cessary, at least in thickly populated
sections, and strangers in the city
will think their hotel bills also are
not only necessary but imperative
and in most cases exhorbitant. AS
to neckwear, it is small item. If
clothing is left on the list we can well
do without neckwear.
The point that Congress has al
ways to meet in cases such as this
is the selfishness Of people as whole.
When it comes to taxation the wool
grower wants high taxes, but not on
his business, the fruit-grower does not
want anything done to make his lot
harder, though he secs the righteous
ness of taxing the other fellow, and
whatever one has need of, he regards
as necessity while others who do not
have tie same needs may think these
things Injuries.
J. 1t will be well, therefore, for the
general public? to sicctept* such; tax
alton as Congress imposes without
undue criticism as Congress usually
investigates fully ana has 4 very good
idea of the farest way Of distributing
the burden.

VIRGINIA NEWS

No games of chance of any kind will
be countcnanced hereafter at any
church bazaar, fair, festival or carni-
val in Richmond. So announced Po-
lice Justice Crutchfield yesterday when
he imposed fines of so each on half
dozen or more persons charged with
operating wheels, of fortune at carni-
walls in that city. He said that he
would have made the penalty heavier
but for the fact that similar games of
chance have been allowed at church
fairs and the like. Next time, he
made it clear, no mercy will be shown.
1t is forcgone conclusion sub
Stimulated by farmers around from
over Virginia that the wheat crop
Tor the State has fallen far short of
expectations. Prior to May the yield
promised TO be exceptionally large,
and the state agricultural department
felt very hopeful, but the news of the
last few dayshas been decidedly dis
couraging not only in point of the
yield. witch is only 40 per cent of
what farmers expected, but the wheat
is Of inferior quality.

TURN IN THE TIDE OF WAR

DISPATCHES from the seat of war in
Europe telling OF smashing blows now
being delivered to the German !nvad-
ers of France have sent thrills OF JOY
throughout the civilized world. The
fact that American troops figure
prominently in these drives sends
thrills throughout America. Bells are
being rung in cities and the greatest
evidences Of JOY and thanksgiving are
manifest throughout the land.
The Stars and Stripes are moving
with the columns between the Aisne
and the Marine, while the screams OF
the American eagle and the music OF
"Yankee Doodle and "DiXie" drown
! that of the watch on the Rhine"
Every citizen OF the Land of the
Free and the Home of the Brave IS
rejoicing at the turn in the tide OF
war which is now an assured fact.
After having been on the defensive
practically since the beginning ct the
conflict, following Fabian tactics, the
time has come for the defenders OF
civilization to take the offensive, ana
this they arc doing with marvellous
success. They have already taken
twenty towns, thousands of prisoners
and many machine guns The Ger
mans are dumbfounded and their mo"-
ale never was lower.
The kaiser, we are told, from safe
position, witnessed the last Teutcn
drive, which has proven more disa&-
trous than those which have preceded
it. He has doubtless often studied
! the famous picture Of the Retreat
From Waterloo" The time is draw
ing near when this painting will be
modernized and known as "Ihe Re-
treat From the Marine" Instead of
Napoleon with downcast head, it will
be William Hohcnzo!lern realizing the
end of autocracy with the tide of de-
mocracy about TO sweep him away.
The days Of Prussian militarism are
numbered. The ominous words, Meme
meme, tekcl, upharsing flashed upon
the walls at the feast of BelShazzar
while Babylon was posing as the mis-
tress of the world They are aga!
flashing and announce the doom OF
kaiserism.
The German empress is visiting hos
pitfalls at Strassburg. The sight of 50
many wounded Teutons has CEASED
her to break down ard shed tears
Does she still believe with her lieGc

mans?

Striking Pressmen
Get Wage Increase

Pending the final settlement of their
demands for an ipcrease in wages, the
members of Franklin Union, No. 23,
of the International Printing Press
mems and Assistants Union yesterday
were granted an increase in salary
from SPA to $50 a week. This was
agreed upon by President Baccy, of
the Franklin Union, and ". A. Green,
representing the employers, at the
opening of the hearing before Il. G..
Bostwick and J. T. Herman. eNamin-
ers for the War Labor Board, at City
Hall. The men returned to work on
Tuesday at the recommendation of the
War Labor Board, which selected the
examiners to settle the salary differ
ences.
If lower rate than $50 is fixed by
the examiners the men must refund
the difference.
President Bagley began his plea for
the wage increase with the remark that
"the men asl. for living wage so
that their children can enjoy the sun
shine without going out naked and
without empty stomachs.' He filed as
testimony the budget report Of the
Bankers Trust Company of January
Ia, 1918, in which salary increase of
40 per cent is given to all employees
earning $1,000 OR less.
He read in the record the wage scale
of the union from 1907 to the present
time. In 1907 the men received $3.50,
by 1911 they had received an increase
to 1926 and in 1912 they reached $3.50.
Other small increases followed until
in June, 1918, the men reached $1,000
