High Cost of Dying Now;
Tax Placed on Coffins

There are no necessities any more,
not even coffins, according to the gov
ernment which has placed a 5 percent
luxury on burial caskets fitted with
precious metals, such as handles and
other decorations on casket. The
best thing to do before it becomes a
luxury to die is to buy your casket now
before the tax goes into effect.
Local casket manufacturers say
that the tax will be imposed upon the
man who makes the handles and dec
orations of precious metal and there
is no such manufacturer in Richmond.
However the law reads that the tax
is to be charged on the entire cost of
the casket which is ornamented or fit
ted with precious metal. Local un-
dertakers have received no word to
this effect.

league Of nations covenant was re-
newed today with sharp controver-
sy between Senator Williams Demo
crat), Mississippi, and Lodge. Mas
sachusetts. and Borah, Idaho (Repub-
1icans), over the Shantung settlement.

tung. but both senators denied this
and Mr.. Lodge reiterated that while
Japan secured territorial control over
only 6hantung ports, the German
railroads and other concessions trans
ferred gave her practically control
over the entire province.

practical effect Of the Shantung pro
vision was to deliver both political
and economic sovereignty over the
province to Japan.
Three senators spoke in the senate
today; Beckham, Kentucky; Pom
creme, Ohio, and Harrison. Mississippi
All are Democrats and supporters oi
the president and advocate adoption
OF the Versailles pact as it stands
with it's league covenant and peace
terms proper entwined.

foreign relations committee.
Prompt and unreserved ratification
of the peace treaty with the league o1
nations covenant was urged upon the
senate today by Senator Pomerene, Of
Ohio. Democrat member of the for
eign relations committee. In pre-
pared address crowded with constitu
tional and legal arguments, Senator
Pomerene said the league was not g
sure preventive Of wars, but would
tend to prevent war, and could be
amended as experience required. HI
replied to the criticisms Of Republican
Leader Lodge, Senator. Knox. Republi
can Of Pennsylvania, former Senator
Root and Chairman Hays Of the Re
