An Amazing Incident.
The duchess had always been a
great stickler for etiquette, and an
amusing story is related on this sub

The duchess OF COnnaught, apart
from this idiOsyncracy for perform

While they are being instructed they re-

have qualified their wages Immediately

earning SIS or $50 week in their own

Their earning capacity depends upon
their ability and the amount Of time they
put in. Many. IN order TO swell their pay

NEW AUTO TAX BILL
ALSO HITS GASOLINE
Original Cost of Cars Basis Of Tax.
alton: Fuel Levy Two Cents
q Gallon.

Washington, Aux. Federal license
taxes on motor cars proposed by the Ways
and Means Committee, which is drafting
the War Revenue Bill, give an indication
of what the cost of motoring will amount
to within a few months.
Representative Kitchin, Chairman Of
the COMMITTEES, announced the proposed
license taxes after the committee meeting
this afternoon. They are based upon the
original listed retail price of the car
and are as follows;
Car price-Not over $500. annual
license $40; $500 to $3.50, SIS; $3.50 to
81 900, $40; $1,000 10 $4,000, $40 for
each $500 cost; s., 900 and upward, $50
for each $500 cost.
No matter whether You purchase
secondhand car or q new one, you would
nevertheless paw tho license tax, and II
would be based upon the original cost
price Even if you purchased for 500
or $500, q 5000 car, which is four or
five wears old, YOU would still have TO
paw q Federal license based upon the
$1,000
Another announcement made by MIR.
kitchin was that the committee proposed
a 2-cent tax on each gallon of gasoline,
This would be imposed upon the producer,
but, of course, eventually would be passed
on to the consumer. 1t is estimated that
it would bring in $40, 900 to s45, 1000
600
4 straight tax of S. annually on motor
cycles was proposed.
Mr. kitchin estimated that the license
tax on automobiles which would include
motor truclls-together with the tax
upon motorcycles, would realize not less
than Sl2 2,50O0,OO0.
Yesterday 1t was announced that 10
per cent tax would be placed on the gross
sales of automobile manufacturers. Thus
would mean that next year the car which
cost $500 a year ago, and which has al
ready been raised in cost TO about $420,
would cost 10 per cent additional. For
this tax, while placed upon the manu-
fscturer, would. hike the gasoline tax
be passed to the consumer. In the
moderatc-priced and highcr-priced cars
the difference would be very material
Gasoline and oil are both expected to
increaseGn price. The two cents tax on
gasoline will amount to a substantial
item In a months use of a machine. The
new Federal tax is, of course, IN addition
to thej present State taxes. which Will
conuplfe for the benefit of the road main
tenaDAe in the several eommonwealths
A schedule the proposed Federal
license tax as applied 10 cars costing more
than 1000 would run: Csr price
81 500, Federal license $50; s.. 900, $40
$500, $50; IS, 900. 500; 81. 500, $50; 81, 600.
500; 81, 500. $40; SIS 5000, sl40
The purchaser of q secondhand
$l2 900 car would pay a license of s420
annually.
Mr.. kitchin said that the license
plan was the same as proposed by the
Senate Finance Committee IN last years
revenue bill, except that the present
taxes were doubled, and an annual de-
duction for car depreciation had been
eliminated
The 10 per cent tax on automobile
manufacturers sales presented yesterday
vas estimated to bring in SO, 900 600
in revenue Today the committee dis
cussed extending this tax TO dealers in
secondhand cars as well as original manu-
facturers.

In Pine Bluff and Jefferson County to Secure Liber-

EVERY CITIZEN TO
 BE SOLICITED
Committee of 100 to Leave Court House at 9 O'clock
 In Big Attack.

The one million dollar offensive in the Jefferson County-Pine Bluff Fourth Liberty Loan campaign will be launched this morning at g o'clock when General Tomlinson's army starts an attack in every ward, pre- cinct and domicile of clty and county.
 By this large offensive movement the army of 100 workers hope to se- cure one million dollars that is need- ed to put the county across the last line defenses of the Fourth Liberty Loan. Any counter attacks that may be made today will certainly be re- pulsed.
 The army will carry out flanking movement with a big center attack thru the business section. An envelop- ing movement will be carried out in the residential and suburban districts. By nightfall the entire area is ex- pected to have been taken completely over.
 The local campaigners have organ ized four committees. of twenty-five men each, These corps will solicit ev- cry business house, every employee, every man, woman and child in Pine Bluff today for subscription pledges to the loan.
 Everyone who has subscribed who may be solicited today need not get "peved" at being solicited the second time. This also applies to the large army of volunteers.
 If subscriptions have been up to the right mark and it is so shown this or that person will not be asked to increase their quota. However where subscriptions are Flight" re quests that they be increased will be in order. s
 It is with regret that this big coun. ter-attack or offensive had to bt planned in an effort to make 3 "roundup" of Pine Bluff. However the total pledges last night went just little above the $750,000 mark. The quota for the county is $1 "A 900 ane '(COntinued on page eighD
