Day leased Wire to New MexIcan.l

(By Leased Wire to New Mexican.)
Washington, July 10.-Preparations
for framing the new war revenue bill
went forward in the house ways and
means committee today with attention
c~entering upon the list Of suggestions
for new or higher taxes on luxuries
and necessities submitted yesterday
by the treasury department.
A 10 per cent tax on wire leases
intended to apply to telegraphs, tele-
phones and other wires whose use is
leased is n of the treasury pro-
posals.
The retail tax principle is now in
the U. S. tax law, although it has been
levied in England, France and Ger
many. The treasury suggested that
~ per cent basis for this plan would
be too low and that anyone wanting
the retail goods would pay as high as
20 per cent.
Members of the committee indicat-
ed what the dist would be for con-
sumption taxes in their draft of the
bill.
Besides doubling present taxes on
liquors and tobaccos, quadrupling soft
drink levies and making general in
creases in other existing rates the
treasury suggestions included taxes of
fifty per cent on retail prices of jew
elry; twenty per cent on automobiles,
bicycles, ETC., and taxes on hotel bills
and clothing where the cost exceeds a
certain amount.
In addition to all these taxes, which
would be levied upon the consumer,
the dist proposes doubling the present
motion picture admission tax and i'm
posing a tax of five per cent on NOV
ing picture theater rentals, with the
present film tax eliminated.
Tax on Soda Fountains
The treasury proposed a license tax
of ten dollars a year on soda foun-
tains.
The suggested tax on servants
would allow an exemption OF one fe-
male servant. Others would be taxed
as follows:
First servant rs per cent OF wages
paid; second servant so per cent;
third servant rs per cent and on more
than three servants mot counting the
one female s%ervant) 100 per cent of
wages paid in each case.

(By Leased Wire to New Mexican.)
Washington, July 10.-According to
an official dispatch from Switzerland
today the retirement of Won Kuehl-
mann as German foreign minister and
the appointment of Won Hintze to sue
coed him is looked upon as a victory
for the pan-Germans. A few days ago
the social democrats announced in the
socialist paper, Vorwaerts, that If Won
Kuehlmann was forced to go Chancel-
Tor Won Hertling would be Obliged to
retire.
The Swiss view however, is that the
situation will not be altered, for the
military party is in reality governing
and part of its policy is to make a few
concessions in form and in regard to
the staff to the liberal party.
