= :. TAX ON "CAS" NEXT

Washington, Aug "A federal
graduated excise tax on thr use of
automobiles running from $40 year
on cars originally retailed at not ex-
ceeding $500 to $50 tax on $4,000
cars and $50 additional for each $500
above $4,000 has been agreed to by
the House Ways and Means commit
tee, which is framing the new 49,
900, 100000 revenue bill. 49,. .-
The tax applies directly to the
owners, while the tax of ten, per cent
on gross sales of automobiles and
five per cent on gross sales of auto
mobile trucks, agreed to applies to
the manufacturers, producers and i'm
porters of cars. The tax on used cars
is based on the original retail listed
price. of the cars, regardless of the
year of manufacture. 'jFl'J -.
The committee also agreed to a tax
of two cents per gallon on the pro-
duction' of gasoline and federal ex-
else tax of g$5 year on the use of
the motorcycles. Members of the
committee said that while the manu-
facturers' tax and the owners tax
are differentiated, it is generally be-
lieved the owners ultimately will
have to pay all the tax, the manufac-
turers passing on the tax in increased
prices. The automobile and motor
cycle excise tax is expected to yield
approximately $125,00O,06O and the
gasoline tax $45, ,O00,O00EE I.

THEY'D Sell ii GERMANY
FOR POUND OF STEAK
(By United Press.

London, Aug. 2.-The Iron Cross
has been so cheapened in four years
of war that German soldiers no lon
ger prize the decoration as a distinc-
ton and are willing to part with it
for a good ration Of bread, on being
captured.
The French Croix de Guerre is the
most common decoration in the allied
ranks, but as it is won only great
risk by acts of conspicuous bravery
the French soldier prizes it today as
highly as he ever did.
German soldiers get the Iron Cross
in it's varying degrees for very COM
monplace acts at the front and even
for services far from the fighting.
The decoration has been. bestowed Lit.
orally by the pound. Long lists of
new awards are printed nearly every
week in the German newspapers.
