Jewellers Oppose Tax
The Ways and Means ub-committee
on luxuries, to which was assigned
the consde ration of the whole ques-
tion of luxuries, including those al
ready discussed in the full committee,
comprises Representatives Hull, Ten
nessee; Helvering, Kansas, and Moore
Pennsylvania. Meyer D. Rothschild, of
New York, and Wilson A. Streeter, of
Philadelphia, representing the Jewel
lers' War Revenue Tax Committee, op-
posed levying the tax Of jewelry at
the source and urged that it be laid on
the consumer on the basis of use.
The jewellers committee contended
that by collecting the tax on the basis
of sales to the consumer $15O,00O,O0O
more might be raised than if imposed
on the lesser wholesale prices. 1t was
said that by an ultimate consumer tax
on jewelry there would be no indef-
initeness as to what the "cost plus
tax" might be in the popular mind
and that more people would buy
jewelry. The luxury Subcommittee
will meet tomorrow with q view to
framing recommendation to be laid
before the full committee Monday.

Revenue Bill Trainers Plan
to Triple Impost on
Some Articles
Levies Expected to
Raise $34O,OO0,OO
Two Means to Impose War
Profits Tax Discussed by
the House Committee

WASHINGTON. Aug. 2.--Heavy in
creases in the present war tax on to-
bacco, cigars and cigarettes were
agreed to to-day by the House Ways
and Means Committee as part of the
new s8,OC0,000,00O revenue bill. The
tax imposes three times the existing
rates on some items of the schedule,
and is expected to raise approximately
S340,000,000, in comparison with the
present $168,o0O,0O0 revenue from to-
bacco.
The committee has made substantial
headway in it's work. and some of its
members predicted to-day that all dan
ger of delay in reporting the bill is
over and that the total of $4,000, ,o00,
900, the greatest volume of revenue
from taxation ever contemplated in
the nations history, will be provided
for and the bill in form to report when
the House reassembles on August 10.
So far, however there is large gap
between the total estimated from the
excess profits and income tax sections
and the $4,000, 100000 allotted to those
sections in the original plan. The com
mittee, accordingly, went back to-day
to the income surtax paragraphs, and
while there was no definite action it
was evident there will be heavy in
creases in surtax rates.
Two Tax Plans Discussed
There also was some discussion Of
two plans to superimpose strictly
war profits tax on the excess profits
tax, one of the plans being for a COM
plete supplemental tax. every dollar Of
which would be additional to the ex-
cess profits revenue, and the other an
alternative proposition under which
the Treasury would impose either the
excess profits tax or the war profits
tax, but not both of them, the tax to
be imposed being that which would
bring the larger revenue in each indi-
vidual case.
To-day's action on war taxes on to-
bacco was independent of the special
license tax on manufacturers of to-
bacco, in which double the present tax
was imposed, on the basis of the an
nual sales.
Chairman Kitchin made this state
ment tonight:
lie COulIulIIee IedCteu Tie IOllOW-
ing tentative decision as to the to-
bacco schedule: Cigars weighing not
more than three pounds per 1000, tax

more than three pounds per 1000 and
retailing at not more than four cents
