Merchants Say U. S.
''Luxury Tax Hits
Many Necessities
Assert Proposed Levy Would
Raise Little Revenue and
Would Result in Double.
dealing and in Dishonesty

Further criticism Of the proposed
"luxury tax" was expressed yesterday
by heads of large department stores in
this city, whose representatives. are
now presenting their protests in Wash
ington They stated that the proposed
tax would really fall on necessities
would raise little revenue and would
result in dishonesty and double dealing.
Said Louis Stern, president of Stern
Brothers:
"The proposed tax is very much out
of place. Many of the articles on the
list are necessities, not luXuries. 1t
is all very we'll to say that a man
should pay certain amount for a
certain article, but it may be great
injustice to say he should pay no more.
"The government cannot see to it
that small retail places report their
sales, and the tax would therefore. be
evaded largely and would result in dis
honesty and doubled ealing"
"Will Not Raise Mucl, Money"
Samuel w. Reyburn, president of
Lord & Taylor, said that he did not
object to the tax in itself as long as
it accomplished its purpose.
"The first thing is for the United
States to pay its debts" he declared.
need the money we ought to pay it
without grumbling. My only objection
is the fact that it won't raise much
money and will make lot of trouble
out of all proportion to the financiai
return"
Necessities have been placed on the
taxable list and certain luxuries
omitted. according to Samuel J. Bloom
ingdale, president o. Bloomingdale
Brothers.
''For example, the 50 silk stocking
is a necessity. while the SIS or S6 golf
stocking is a luxury" he stated "Arti-
cles generally purchased by people of
moderate income are not luxuries.
"The taxes have been drawn up by
somebody who does not know anything
to larger stores. while it is evaded by
the smaller"
Calls 1t Hardship to Public
Brooklyn merchants are greatly en-
couraged over what has been done by
the united efforts of local stores. H.
Neaderland Of A. l. Namm & Son,
said that he felt certain Congress
would be compelled to substitute
some other ethod of taxation for the
one now under consid liberation.
1--WE believe the public understands
our position and why we are making
this fight" he said. at isn't that we
object to tax, but we do take ex-
ception to this one because of the
great expense attendant on its col
lection, the hardship resting finally
on the public"
Officials of Abraham G. Straus and
Frederick locser & Co., who have
been circulating a protest against the
proposed tax among their patrons, de-
clared that Congress could not depend
on public apathy to put over" the
bill. They said that 5000 names had

Effort to So1idify
Mexican Politics Is
Launched Here
Liberals Form Alliance and
Will Try to Induce Reac-
tionaries to Combine to
Eliminate Small Parties

Launching of movement to unite
the many political factions of Mexico
was announced yesterday by a group
liberal Mexicans now in this city.
The prime mover of the organization,
called the Alianza liberal Mexicana, is
Enrique c. Llorente, who represented
the Provisional Mexican government of
1914-16 at Washington.
Both liberals and reactonaries have
been urged to unite into parties, Mr..
Llorente declared. Carranza had been
invited to participate, he said, and a
favorable reply from him is expected
soon
Nine chapters of the organization. it
was stated, have been opened in various
cities of the United States These
branches are cooperating with similar
groups inside Mexico, to bring peace
and good government to that chaotic
country.
One of the first endeavors of the or
ganization, it's organizers Said yester-
day. is to prevent armed Intervention
IN Mexican affairs. A memorial urging
the American Federation of Labor to
prevent certain financial interests from
1orclng intervention has been presented
thr0ugh Samuel Gompers and will be
made public to-day.

reconstruction now being undertaken

Europeans Likely
TO Resent Ban on
U. S. immigration
British Soldiers, Who Had
Eyes on America, and
Italians Believed TO Op-
pose Legislation Here
Net0 York Tribune

Copyright. 1912 New York Tribune Inc.l
PARIS, Feb. 1.-European labor's
sentiment regarding the American pro-
! posal to restrict immigration is not
likely to be received with any degree
of cordiality when the facts are known.
At present the public mind of Europe
is occupied with such variety of
things that it has not yet grasped the
significance of the legislation before
The peace conference.
Peace, international labor agree
ments, demobilization and strikes are
absorbing all attention. But there is
certain to be in England much deep
disappointment, if not resentment, at
great land Of milk and honey; America
is also a haven of safety, quiet and
security.
Many British soldier has set his
heart upon America or the British
colonies for his future. These men
who fought in a common cause will
not at once grasp the American point
Of view, and they will feel tHat Ameri-
ca does not appreciate them, while the
British workers undoubtedly will feel
disappointment at being excluded from
America.
Britain Discusses Legislation
Great Britain herself, however, is
discussing seriously the question of
restricting immigration, although prob
ably aiming only against those who
are now enemy nations.
Not many French workers are ex-
pected to want to go to America. A
French authority on industrial ques-
that he expected French scales of
wages soon to equal those of America,
and that France, instead of sending
away her workers, would need to i'm
port men for her own industries.
"But" he added, 1--WE should resent
restriction against our people, even if
they did not want to go. AS for our
selves, we are working out a plan to
place all immigration under govern
ment control so as to prevent masses
of contract immigration, although we
will not restrict individuals, because
we shall need them"
Situation in France
The most serious indication came
from a Frenchman close to govern
ment circles who suggested that it was
entirely probable that more Ameri-
cans would desire to remain in France
than Frenchmcn desiring to go to
America. He said also that large
American financial interests were oper-
ating or intended to operate here His
suggestion was that there be American
legislation limiting the activities Of
Americans in France.
Italy presents perhaps one of the
greatest difficulties Men in Paris in
touch with the situation in Italy be-
lieve there will be a strong tide from
Italy to America, unless the bars are
put up, and if that is done there will
be something of prejudice against
America created there. The proba-
bility is that the whole question of i'm
migration will be put before the peace
conference by the Committee on Inter
national labor Relations.

Tattooing's Quaint Uses

The antiquity of tattooing is evi-
denced by its almost universal employ
ment among primitive peoples. In New
Guinea the young women are tattooed
all over their bodies, their faces being
similarly treated after marriage.
In the Solomon Islands girl is not
eligible for marriage unless she has
been tattooed. The girls of Borneo are
thus adorned from waist to knees in
most elaborate fashion; likewise their
hands, feet and ankles.
In Burmah, under the last king, every
male was required by royal edict W
be tattooed from waist to knees; and it
was customary for the girls to have
their tongues tattooed' with charms to
attract the men.-Boston Chronicle.
