Washington, June s,-Heavy taxes

ing, This was decided upon by the
committee today in considering the
various sources Of revenue that may
be levied upon the ss.ooo,o0o, oeo 10 be
raised.
The committee also decided that the
automobile except those in government
service. be classed as luxaries and
should bear heavy tax in proportion
to their cost The tax imposed in last
years bill Of per cent on the sale
price will be more than doubled. IT ia
understood. This tax was estimated TO
produce about s25 600 900 and the com
rnittee feels that s50oo0.o0o or SIS
100000 should he realized from this
source.
The proposal 10 impose a federal H.
cense Of from $50 to $3.50 on every car
IN use is also being considered by the
committee.

be in the luxury class This list ia

committee IN determining the scale OF
taxation.
Representative Johnson. Of Wash
ington. advocated abandonment OF the
postal zone system on periodicals and
the substitution of straight tax on ad-
vertising.
We do not seek to avoid taxation
he said, but merely to have IL levied
equitablv. The amount realized on an
advertising tax would he large as
that under the coming system and
would not require the elaborate ma
chinery for collection which the lat
ter plan would need"
Chairman Ktchin stated that the

NJ Secretary McAdoe that at ieas
one-third Of the s24, 900 oon. 900 needed
