ASKS HIGHER SURTAXES

WASHINGTON, June Determination
Of all the excise taxes in the present
revenue law, including the luxuries
tax, motion picture films tax and the
taxes on perfumes and toilet prepara-
tions and on proprietary medicines, is
proposed in a bill introduced to-day by
Representative Mclaughlin (Neb), q
Republican.
The bill also would repeal the taxes
on drinks at soda water fountains and
on ice cream at ice cream parlors, as
well as do away with the entire tax
title on admissions and dues. To make
up for the revenue thus lost the bill
proposes to increase the surtaxes in
the income tax section and the taxes
on large estates.
The present surtax OF 80 per cent OF
the amount by which the net income ex-
ceeds 100000 and does not exceed
$150.000 is proposed to be increased to
55 per cent. The next higher tax. SO

WARRINGTON, June 27.-Proposals that

been made by some Democratic Sena-
tors but thus far Republican leaders

ate future. 1t is understood, however.
that they agreed to three day recesses
for short period pending consideration
OF the peace treaty.
Senators Hitchcock (Neb,). Adminis-
tration spokesman, and Swanson (Va }

urging "A brief recess.

taken for a week. beginning next Mon

BERLIN, June 25 (delayed) Ma
thlas Erzberger to-day is the most
despised man in Germany; that is,
by the Germans. The peace is known
popularly rs the "Erzberger peace"
and upon him is being vented wrath
from all sides; indeed, the feeling is
so strong that the great optimist is
keeping ont of sight.
1t develops that Erzberger's escape
from the mob at Weimar on Tuesday
was very narrow. Minister of De-
fence Noske had left with his troops
and the protection of the palace had
been turned over to the local au-
thorlties and the so-called "slcher-
heits truppen," or safety troops.
Some of these joined the mob sur
rounding the palace and shouting,
"We want to hang Erzberger"
Accompanied by his secretary, DR..
Hemmer, Erzberger slipped out of n
side entrance of the palace at $50
o'clock yesterday morning and dodg-
ing under the trees of the park they
made their way to an automobile
which was waiting to take them to
the railway station. They went to a
station outside of Weimar, where they
| took Il slow accommodation train TAX
ing fourteen instead of the usual four
hours to reach Berlin.
The railway strike predicted in
these dispatches week ago has
spread to the stations in Berlin and
closed to traffic the lines to Silesia.
The general insecurity during the
nights, which are very dark, as few
lights are kept burning In order to
save coal, was shown when twenty
hooligans held up street car and
robbed the passengers last night. In
the main the rioting here and in Ham
burg Is due to the eNurbitant prices
demanded for food. In one case the
attempt of Il peddler with wagon
load Of cherries TO charge 81 a pound
for them started II riot which re-
suited in much destruction.
Butter still Is selling for 81 Il
pound, eggs at 80 cents each, coffee
at SO, tea at $12 and cocoa at $l5 II
pound. The importation of food so
far has not had the slightest effect
| on prices.

PARIS, June 27.-President Wilson
talked for an hour with the American
newspaper correspondents to-day pre-
paratory to his departure from
France, leaving the following impres
sions upon his hearers of his views o
what has been accomplished here ant
Of his future plans:
l. He believes that the peace
treaty Is just, liberal and we'll
done and that it adheres to the
fourteen points nearer than he had
expected 1t would, considering the
obstacles 1t faced.
2. He has been unable as yet to
fathom the exact situation in
Washington but is relying largely
upon his tour to the Pacific coast
to obtain the ratification of the
treaty without reservations, in
which tour he will explain what
he has tried to do here.
8. He intends to fight Elihu
Roots and all other reservations
because Mr.. Root would remove
the cornerstone of the League and
because these reservations would
require acceptance by the other
twenty-One nations before the
treaty would be effective for the
United States and he regards such
universal acceptance as hopeless.
4. The adoption of the Fall reso-
lution would be national dis
grace. he contends, equivalent to
stepping over to the side Of Ger
many after fighting n successful
war with her.
8. He distinctly favors both the
Constantinople and the Armenian
mandates, although leaving the
matter to Congress TO decide. He
fayors the Constantinople mandate
because We shall get nothing out
of 1t but will keep Constantinople

9. The French engagement should
take the form of real treaty to
he signed here by both nations be-
fore it is submitted to the Senate,
leaving 1t to the United States to
decide what is unprovoked aggres-
sion. The President believes that
the League of Nations affords
ample security but that such an
engagement Is necessary owing to
Frances case of nerves.
Z. He is preparing to justify the
Shantung episode before the pub
lie as the best that could be OBJ
talned from tangled situation
in which two European nations
were involved before the United
States entered the war. He con-
tends that otherwise Japan would
have refused adherence to the
treaty.

Comparatively inexpensive Devices

Popularity" Says Lex
ington Dealer

Statesmen have learned through expert
ence, according to Charles Denegre'
Lexington motor car dealer that the
devices intended to eliminate this or
that minor trouble or inconvenience
are almost as much appreciated by the
average buyer as the larger and more
expensive improvements.
"These little refinements help in the
sale of many cars" he said. Anything
tending to make the automobile focl-
proof, or tending to reduce the labor
of caring for the car, especially are ap-
preciated."
There are the oilless bushings used
wherever the construction makes them
possible on the Lexington car. once
installed, they need no further attsn-
ton. They eliminate squeaks and rat
ties and save hours of tedious work
for owners of the Lexington car.
There is the metallic universal
joint, which requires no fabrication;
the zone finger" brake which is what
the name indicates. 1t takes the pres
sure of only a single finger to op-
crate it.
To give additional comfort. the up
holstering on the Lexington has been
made a little deeper. These are only
some of the more striking improves
ments that have been made.

Speed Wagons Come to Bir-

Southern Points

Lansing. Mich. October 25.-Probably
the largest production of any single
truck model anywhere was attained
at the REQ plant Wednesday, when
over 100 speed wagons came off the
assembly chain in the course of a nine
hour working day.
While this production was above the
average for this model, it was not
the result of a sudden squirt. but rath-
er of a continuous and sustained eff
fort to meet the remarkable country
wide demand for this successful ve-
hicle. Facilities have been increased
steadily, yet they have failed to keep
pace with the demand.
Neither has the shortage of railroad
cars checked the development of the
truck business. Where freight cars
were not available. dealers have driv-
en- trucks over the roads, radiating
out from Lansing in all directions
Coupled with the great demand urging
them on to driveways was the fact
that the speed wagon while a real
truck, is both fast and easy riding,
and handled as easily as a touring
car. The same qualities which make
it a favorite for long distance pas
senger and freight hauling make pos-
5fble long distance driveaways.

FOR SELF-DEFENSE
Vulnerable Position in Case of Future
War Is Being Emphasized
by Cabinet

Sydney, Australia, September 9-Im-

defense system of Australia are advo-
Gated in report now being considered

the work of an advisory committee of
experts, several of whom held CONF
mands at or near the front during the

with the world in it's present condition
of unrest there is no real guarantee
against war, and it emphasizes the vul-
nerable position of Australia.
1t recommends a concentrated course
of citizen force training covering per-
haps three months in year under con-
ditions approXimating those of war. 1t
further recommends organization of the
mmonwealth military forces on divi-
sional lines and the formation of ma

Gent to constitute six infantry and two
cavalry divisions: establishment of di-
visional headquarters and skilled skele-
ton staff; an air service; and develop
