HIGHER TOBACCO TAX.
EXISTING RATE TREBLED IN
SOME CASES.
WAYS and Means Committee of House
Agrees on Number Of Items.

Washington, Aug. 2.-Heavy .n-
creases in the present war tax o. to-
bacco and cigarettes were agreed TO
today by the house ways and means
committee as part OF the new $8,0o0,-
0O0,O revenue bill. The tax imposes
three times the existing rates on some
items of the schedule and is expected
to raise approximately $340,0 ,00O, 0Vo
in comparison with the present $685.
100000 revenue from tobacco.
The committee has made substan-
:ial hcadway in its work and some OF
it's members predicted today that all
danger of delay in reporting the b1ii
is over and that the total Of $S,00e,-
600 the greatest volume Of revenue
from taxation ever contemplated IL
the nations history viii! be provided
for aud the bill in form to 1orr
when the house reassembles & igust
49,. So far, however, there is large
gap between the total estimated from
excess profits and income tax sections
and the s6,000,0O0,000 allotted to
those sections in the original plan.
The committee accordingly went back
graphs, and while there was no def1-
mite action it was evident there WILL
be heavy increases in surtax. rates.
There was also some discussion OF
two plans to superimpose a strictly
war profits tax on the excess profits
TAX one of the plans being for conf
plete supplemental tax, every dollar
OF which would be additional to the
excess profits revenue, and the other
an alternative proposition under
which the treasury would impose
either the excess profits tax or the
war profits tax, but not both of them,
the tax to be imposed being that.
which would bring the larger revenue
in each individual case.
Today's action as to war taxes on
tobacco was Independent Of the spe--
cial license tax on manufactures OF,
tobacco in which double the present
tax was imposed on the basis OF the
annual sales.
Chairman Kitchin made this state
ment tonight:
"The committee reached the follow,
ing tentative decisions as to the to-
bacco schedule: On cigars weighing
not more than three pounds per thou
sand, tax increased from the present
81 per thousand to 81 per thousandi
cigars weighing more than three
pounds per Thousand and retailing
at not more than four cents each, inss

.HESSVILLE CASE ENDS;
DECISION IN SEPTEMBER
If Hammond Wins Case
Last City Election May
Be Held Invalid.

Before scores Of farmers who hold
that taxation without representation is
tyranny and taxation without giving
them anything for the city taxes they
would have saddled on them, the famous
Hessville- Hammond annexation case
was ended yesterday.
The city of Hammond finds itself in
pretty pickle.
The suit to set aside the corporation
of Hessville. throwing out Of office the
newly elected town officials and declar-
ins the territory. including Hessville.
the woodrow Wilson school district and
land as far south as the Ridge Road,
part Of Hammond, annexed FIVE years
ago. was concluded in the court OF
judge Reiter yesterday afternoon. As
court adjourned for the summer at that
time a decision is not expected until
September.
The quandary is this. II the court
finds for the city and decides that the
territory in dispute rightfully belongs
to Hammond the last city election may
be held invalid because the people Of
Hessville and the woodrow Wilson dis
trict we're not permitted to vote. And If
the suit goes against the city and the
oorporation Of Hessville is sustained.
the decision of Judge McMahan who
ruled five years ago that the district
was a part of Hammond but exempted it
from Hammond's jurisdiction until July
3. 1918. will be swept aside.

ABILITIES
To INCREASE
What it Will Mean to Ham
mond TO Have for First
Time in It's History Any
where Near Adequate Car
Service.

The greatest significance is attached
to the order Of the United States gov
ernment for the Improvement OF the
street railway facilities Of the city Of
Hammond.
This order calls for the following i'm
portant improvements:
l. The immediate purchase of ten new
street Cars.
,. The immediate construction OF an
extension for the benefit Of the Standard
Steel Car Company from the corners Of
Morton and Columbia avenues. East
Hammond northward on Columbia ave
nue. TO sibley street where the cars will
be operated over the Gary & Interurban
10 the downtown district.
g. The immediate construction of q
connection between the Gary & Inter
urban and the Green Line on Calumet
avenue between Sibley and State streets.
l. The immediate construction of a
connection at Holman and Sibley streets
between the Gary & Interurban and
Green Lines.
The Importance Of this may be ap-
preciated from the fact that after the
improverae ents above mentioned have
been made that Hammond will for the
first time in its history have real city
service. instead OF exclusively interurban
service.
4 study of the map also shows that
when the new improvements are made
that practically the entire south side will
be within two blocks of street railway
transportation.

j. s. TAKES
A HAND IN
'P|GGER|ES'

That the government is beginning to
take hand in the enforcement of the
liquor laws in this section was in evil
dence this morning when Martin Blazich,
Chicago and Kennedy avenues. East Chi
cago. was summoned before Federal In
speetor Greene at Hammond.
1t Will be remembered that Blazichs
place was raided a couple of weeks ago
and sixty cases OF alleged Seipp beer
were taken from his back room. The
evidence seemed incontroveritible. yet
on juno IS Blazich was found not
guilty" by jury Of his peers
Blazich was arrested on d warrant
sworn out by Joseph Zurich. 4714 Alex
ander avenue. The beer was found in
the back room with no apparent attempt
al concealment and was coahscated by
the officers. The charge that was placed
against him was selling liquor without
license"
The new charge that now confronts
him. and on which he is given hearing
by federal authorities. is that of receiv
ing intoxicating liquors from carrier.
It is understood that the charge IS based
on federal statute which provides that
no one shall receive liquor brought in
from another state.
1t was but a few days ago that Peter
Skafsh. East Chicago. was arrested on
the charge Of selling liquor without
license" The report was that twelve
cases of beer were found in his saloon
on Vernon avenue He was discharged
by the city court on some technical
error.
The Lake County Council OF Defense
has an eye on this situation and there is
considerable talk about calling special
session of the grand jury and instituting
a movement to clean up East Chicago
and Indiana Harbor and give these men
running blind pigs" the full extent of
the law.
