Taxing "Scmiluxurics"

THE Treasury Department has submitted .
the ways and Means Committee OF the
House suggestions for consideration in the
new war tax bill proposing that sweeping
lcvies be laid against almost every article OF
wear and use within the range OF the or
binary pocketbook. This shows that the adj
ministration favors taxes not only upon in
comes, excess profits and Iuxuries as indi-
Gated By the President in his message but
it favors assessment upon commodities in
general which have been styled scmiluxurics
by the tax experts Of the Treasury
IL remains for the committees OF Congress
10 determine whether or not this additional
burden is 10 be placed upon the American
people. If they lind that it is necessary:
that the money needed cannot be raised by
other processes; If profits and incomes will
not yield the billions demanded, without vir-
tual contlscatOn, then the people will accent
the conclusion reached with good grace and
prepare themselves TO meet the obligations
imposed. This assurance can be given TO
Congress and the administration in advance

wv It'll the beginning of the fiscal year,
w Americas participation in the war has
become one Of potential reality. The fifteen
months that went before were marked by
feverish activity III almost every direction,
but the actual results did not begin to mani
fest themselves. The whole nation was i'm
patient. 1t wanted, to make itself felt in the
war, and il seemed that the processes Of
preparation were too slow, returns for the
enormous outlay Of money were too long de-
Elyed and TOO long time was being taken
to lay the groundwork for the gigantic effort
the country had pledged itself to make.
marked change has taken place in the
public mind as consequence of the hopeful
and startling announcements OF the past few
days. BY revealing the fact that more than
100000 American troops are in France,
the government heartened the country TO al

may be assumed that it more than gratied

which has borne the brunt OF war for four

something SO definite in its bearing that its
far-reaching significance is grasped by every
man, woman and child III the land.
Yet the transport OF men to Europe is not
the only accomplishment OF the hour.

has begun TO show results. y total OF
10000 tons of shipping has been launched

Nothing like it was ever brought to pass in

ment that 10000 vessels now Hy the Ameri-

gigantic strength and makes our enemies
wonder ii they are not destined to be literally
overwhelmed by the limitlcss resources OF

Other announcements have been made
which show that the great war machine being
built UP in this country is in motion. Nearly
800 combat airplanes have been delivered to
date, ANA they are being turned out at the
rate OF eighty Il week Liberty motors are
being constructed at the rate OF twenty every
workday, total OF 1000 having already
been turned over TO the government. In all,
100000 rifles have been placed in the hands
OF the army by the manufacturers, and 1,SO0
heavy Browning machine guns are now a
part OF the army's equipment. In addition to
