REVENUE LAWS
ARE EXPLAINED
Collector Duffy Warns Against
ConceaIing Stock in Taking
of inventories

Information has reached Charles V.
Duffy. collector of internal revenue
at Newark, that proprietors of ,um-
| erous tobacco stores and liquor deal
| ers are anticipating the taking of in
ventories by ~concealing portions OF
their stock. Many Instances have been
unearthed where dealers in tobacco
in an effort to cvade the payment of
floor tax have removed a portion of
their stock, storing it in other than
their place of business, hoping there
by to evadep payment of tax.
In justice to the honest dealers Col
lector Duffy is determined to spare
nc effort in detecting the unscrupu-
lous and bring them to the realization
that their attempts to evade h law
will merit for them the full 200 per
cent penalty prescribed by the law.
= Collector Duffy realizing there
would be some attempts to circum-
vent the Law, has devised means OF
detecting the guilty. The several
methods are not made public, but any
dealer will realize that. the simple
metho dot comparing n checking
| their stock with the wholesalers and
distillers bill of sale within a certain
| period that would effect the inven-
tory, if any Irregularities were dis,
, covered would invite further investi-
| cation.
Tax on Rented Autos or Jitneys.
All persons conducting a business
in which passenger automobiles are
| rented are subject to taxation under
! two sections of the new revenue bill
now pending enactment, according to
| advices received by Chief of Police
Patrick J.. Burke from the treasury
department of the Internal Revenue
service at Newark. The law states
| that all autos for hire having seating
capacity for more than two and not
exceeding sever are to be taxed $40
apiece and all cars having seating IA
cilities so that more than seven can
] be accommodate will be taxed $50

Question Absorbing Attention
Of Congress and Govern

BLANKETS TO BE SOLD
Bed Clothing Will Be Added to
Other Commodities Offered
by Uncle Sam

Washington, D. c.. Aug. 12.-PrOb-
lens of the high cost of living con-
tinued today to absorb the attention
of congress. and government authori-
ties. While congress went ahead with
consideration of various bills and sug-
gestions for legislative relief, Attor-
ney General Palmer continued negotia-
tlons with representatives Of his de-
partment and state, city and county
agents throughout the country for co.
operation to bring about lower prices
for the necessities Of life.
Coincident with the announcement
by the war department that prices OF
surplus army food would be readjust-
ed from time to time to conform with
reductions in the retail market on sim.
lar commodities which were taken as
an indication that retail dealers already
were beginning to feel the effect of the
governments action in placing their
quantities Of stores on the market, it
was announced last night that the war
department would also offer to the
public 100000 surplus blankets. These
blankets include all grades and range
from Sc for the best all wool to $1.25
for reclaimed cotton blankets.
Sale and distribution of the blankets
would be conducted through posfoffices
and municipal channels on the same
plan that food stuffs are being
handled.

UNUSUAL ACCIDENT

TWO TO HOSPITAL
Ford Runs Into Rope Stretched
Across Street Wrecking
Wind Shield

In a battle between Flivver and a
rope stretched tightly across Broad
way where the A. o. U. w. pavement
dance was held last night two persons
were badly cut about the face and
hands, two others were badly shaken
up and bruised, one fainting twice,
and the wind shield Of the Ford is a
total wreck.
A heavy rope had been placed across
Broadway near Third street about
four feet above the pavement to keep
vehicles off the street where it had
been covered with substance to make
dancing more enjoyable.
The Ford came down Third street
and turning the corner onto Broadway
ran into the rope at fair rate OF
speed. The rope caught the wind shield
breaking the glass which scattered
over the occupants Of the front seat.
With blood streaming from their
many wounds, Bernice Landes and
Charles Rene of Baldwin, who was
driving, were taken to the st. Alexius
hospital where their wounds were
treated and dressed. The other two oc-
