LIVES OF LUXURY
GOtham's Swarming Millions are
Living the Summer Existence
of the GrasShOpper

New York. March 1O.-LuXury buy
ing in New York is now going on at
the rate of ,2OO.OOO,OOO a year
judged by the amount of luxury taxes,
aggregating $1O,5OO,OOO a month,
which are being collected by William
H. Edwards, United States collector
of internal revenue for Manhattan. IN
February, according to the collector,
the government received from his Of
flee $2.000,000 more in luxury taxes
than was paid in any previous month
in the history of the department. The
mont hof April probably will exceed
them all. The receipts, he says. have
beer mounting higher and higher for
slz. months.
What some people call the orgy of
spending has not exhausted itself, "
said Mr.. Edwards today, "but my men,
in their talks with merchants and
others who pay the great bulk of the
taxes, have been told that the peak
OF eXtragance seems to have been
reached and that a period of retrench-
ment is close at hand.
eve hear a lot about the income
and excess profits tax which falls due
in the spring of every year and about
the hardships of meeting it but the
fact is that the steadiest tax, and one
which is least felt by the public and
of which we hear very little, in the
luxury impost. The poorer chap who
buys his girl an icecream soda doesn't
grumble at the penny or two tax any
more than does the rich youth who
presents his fance with a diamond
tiara or touring car. Neither
misses it as the item is so small as
compared with the expenditure.
"A kings ransom was spent FOR
candy last December but the biggest
revenue came from dealers in jewelry
furs and automobiles. The theaters
showed that in January they did an
unusually prosperous business. When
persons start to ecOnOmiZe they usu-
ally cut out amusements but in Jan
uary, in the borough of Manhattan
alone, $783,891.43 was paid in taxes
Multiply that by ten and you will get
some idea of how much Father Knick,
erhocker and his guests are paying tc

| There are no indications of any panic
in these figures. The man who said
always be bull on the great y. :

LABOR'S DEMANDS
OF REPUBLICANS

Chicago, June IO.-NigOrOus OpDO-
sition to federal legislation similar to
the Kansas Industrial court measure
to unrestricted immigration and to
the use of injunction proceedings in
strikes, was contained in a set of de
mands" which Samuel Gompers and
Matthew A. VOL. of the American
Federation Of Labor, submitted yes
ten day to the resolutions committee
o the republican national convention.
"LegisIation which proposes to
make strikes unlawful or to compel
the wage earners to submit their
grievances or aspirations to courts or
to governmental agencies, is an i'll
vasion of the rights Of the wage
earners and when enforced makes for
industrial serfdOm and slavery" the
statement said regarding the Kansas
law.
Labor pledged itself, it added, to
uphold the federal law, protecting its
rights against "unWarrantable issu-
ance of writs of injunction, either pro-
hikitory or mandatory"
"It is essential" continued the
statement, "that additional legisla-
ton regulating immigration should Re
enacted based on two fundamental
principles, namely, that the flow Of
immigration must not at any time eX-
ceed the nations ability to assimilate
and Americanize foreigners coming to
our shores. and that at no time shall
immigration be permitted when there
exists an appreciable degree of un-
employment"
Other demands included: Immed-
late relief from the high cost of !iv-
ing burdens; extension of the farm
loan act to give credit to all properly
organized cooperative and individual
farmers; issuance of a monthly state
ment by the department of labor on
the cost of manufactured staple ar
ticles; prompt federal investigation OF
profits and prices and the making ac-
| cessible of all income and other tax
returns; observance, enforcement and
| extension of the federal maximum
eight-hour law in all civil depart
ments of the government; revision OF
the federal compensation law to care

walk out in that case. Nobody could
say from where this talk came.
PLANK MAY SPLIT THE PARTY

When the resolutions subcommittee
met again today with the league Of
nations plank still threatening TO
split the party, tentative foreign
relations plank was under considera-
ton, declaring opposition to the peace
treaty without reservations but favor
ing ratification with American rights
safeguarded. The plank was framed
after an all night session but had not
been accepted by the irreconcilables.
The tentative draft also condemned
President Wilson's Mexican policy,
declaring that no Mexican regime
should be recognized until the govern
ment of that country was willing and
able to give adequate guarantees for
tire property of Americans and their
rights. The draft also pledged the re-
publican party to a consistent, firm
and effective policy towards Mexico
that shall enforce a respect for the
American flag and protect American
citizens and their property" No di-
rect reference is made to intervention
in Mexico.
The proposal for a mandate over
Armenia is condemned and the action
of Congress in passing the peace res
olution is approved.
1t is indicated that although refer
ence to the league of nations is still
in formative stage. the sub-commit-
tee probably would accept the tenta-
tive draft as far as it relates to Mex
leo, Armenia and the peace resolu,
ton.
TAFT ONLY HAPPENED BY
Ex-Presdent VIM. H. Taft arrives
her tomorrow from the west en- route
to New York. He will stop a few
hours but it is said he probably will
not visit the convention or participate
| in the platofrm conferences.

SUMMING Up
RETURNS SLOW
Official Count Does Not Seem to Alter
the Results that were
First Indicated

The official reports Of the election,
or account Of the length Of the ticket,
are coming in very slowly. Here the
supervisor Of registration went the
first efforts Of himself and assistants
t. the delegates to the national con-
veution, in order TO enable these geL-
tIemen to leave on their long trip as
soon as possible.

Sears, $3.50; Lake, 42O3.
Governor
Hardee, 1880; Swearingen, $3.50;
Hulley, 2012.
For attorney general the race lies
between Calkins and Buford, with the
later slightly in the lead and Billings
ley a good third. The second choice
votes may decide it.
Comptroller Amos has won a re-
nomination, also State Treasurer Lun-
ing and State Superintendent of Pub
lie instruction Sheats.
Wells is leading for railroad COM
missioner and is apparently nomi-
mated.
Supervisor Barco reported this
morning that Editor Harris of the
Banner, for delegate to the national

except those of delegates had been
counted at that time.
Yesterdays reports on Legislators

the report Of the platform committee,
the republican national convention
held an half-hour sea..Jn and then re-

adoption.
A league Of nations plank, declared

An agreement was cached after a
conference between Senators Borah,
SmoOt, Mccormick and Lodge, which
accepted a resolution drawn by Elihu
Root before his departure for Europe.
1t omits endorsement of the league
OF nations covenant and provides for
a new agreement with other nations
which shall include a tribunal for set

trade or profession.
For example, merchant may claim
as deductions the amounts paid for ad
