TAX ON FILMS
/ PLENTY NOW,
BRADY THINKS
Producer Amuses Commit
tee with Breezy Re-
marks on the Movies.

ANY increase In the tax on the
movies will result in loss to the gov
ernment rather than increased reve-
nues, the Ways and Means Commit
tee was told yesterday afternoon.
The present tax Of ten per cent has
yielded s2s.OOo,oOO in the seven months
from November to June. and the esti-
mate submitted to the COMMITTEES by
Secretary McAdoo fixes the prospec-
tive revenue from this source for the
coming year/at $5i.O00.Ooo.
william AZ Brady. a New York pro-
ducer, told the committee that the
present tax had caused a loss OF %
per cent this year.
Brady amused the members Of the
committee by his brusQue and jocular
manner of speaking This was true
when he pleaded against any action
that would shut down the peoples
amusements.
This is not the time to put crepe
on the door," he said. Let the peo-
pie continue to have their amuse-
ments.''
Prize Fight Fan should Pay.
Further along in his statement.
Brady was asked by a member OF
the committee IL he favored q gradu-
ated tax on the price OF admissions,
and Brady replied that he did.
If a man pays $50 for a seat at q
prize fight, he ought to pay a TAX on
it." he said.
Then you would be willing to pay
such a taxi" was asked.
''Oh no." Brady replied. II would
go in deadhead."
Brady spoke of the educational
work of the films and quoted from
an utterance by President Wilson 70
the effect that the moving pictures are
n greater source Of public information
than any other agency.
when you imposed the tax of four
per cent" he said, cit took US four
months in the larger cities to recover
from the effects Of 1t. and in the
smaller cities we have never recov-
cred.
I'VE don't want to do our bit, we
want to do a great bg chunk. But.
We want to live and we want our
rights fully protected"
objects to Footage Tax.
P. A. Powers of the University Film
Company protested against the foot
age tax on films, and suggested 1t
should be replaced by a rental fec
OF three per cent. He explained that
the 'footage tax" is unfair for the
reason that some films are more valu-
able than others.

Gued against the postal zone rate in
the present law. He said the only
way magazine publishers can reach
their subscribers will be to ship the
magazines by freight to central dis

A man never knows just how much
he can endure or what he can do until
he is making his last stand in the fight

mind to lie there and die Of blood pol

do not set themselves. So, sweating
and swearing with the agony Of it, he
set his leg and bound the splints in

straight, clean break and that the flesh
was not torn.
Then he dropped back upon the bed
and, didn't care whether he lived or not

He had made a final trip to Hardup

supplies for the winter. And because
his pay streak of Prayel bank had yield

himself on the things he liked to eat
He lay looking over the piled boxes
against the farther wall and wondered
if he could reach the box Of crackers
and drag it up beside the bunk. He
was weak, and to move his leg was
agony. Well, there was dish Of prunes
on the window sill.
Ward ate dozen or SO, but he want

he could from the bed. and the box was
still two feet from his outstretched fin
gers. He lay and considered how he
might bring the box within reach.
At the head Of the bunk stood the

case Of canned tomatoes, the two form.
