BILL FOR UNCLE SAM
Near Billion and Half More Than In
1919-Large Tobacco Revenue

1919-Large Tobacco Revenue
Washington, Oct. 12.-America's
tax bill for the fiscal year ending
June 80 amounted to $5,408,075,-
46S, approximately a billion and
half dollars more than was paid into
the federal treasury in the previous
twelve months.
Full figures for the year were con-
tanned in the preliminary report of
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
made public tonight. 1t shows that
from income and profits taxes that
government received approximately
three-fourths of all it's revenue. In
these two items there was an in
crease of s1,356,OOo,oOO over the
fiscal year of 1919, receipts for the
two years being:
1920, $3,957,7O1, 900; 1919, o.
600, 100000. !
From multifarious sources of
miscellaneous" taxation the levy
produced $1,450,374,O0O, an in
crease over the previous year Of
s2O1, 100000.
In the first full year of the pro-
hibition era, there was net reduc-
ton of s243,OO0,OOO in taxes on dis
titled and femented liquors, the re-
port shows. From distilled spirits
the government received $97,907,-
900 in the last fiscal year while the
taxes from the, same source in 1919
were $s65,211,OOO. Taxes on fer
mented liquors for the last fiscal
year aggregated $41,965,000 and
for the fiscal year of 1919, $117,-
$4,000. \
Increase In Tobacco Tax
The report also shows compare
tive revenues for the fiscal years of
1909 and 1920 The former date was
the last full year in which the gov
ernment derived it's principal reve-
nues from three sources, distilled
spirits, fermented liquors and tobac-
CO. Taxes produced on the three
items in 1909 amounted to $244,-
211, 200, while this revenue in the
year just ended was $368,17s,000.
In 1909 these taxes constituted 99.1
per cent of the nations revenue
while last year they were only SOC
per cent of the total taxes. Although
there was a big decrease in taxes on
liquors between the two years shown
there was a corresponding. greater
increase in revenue from tobacco,
in all of it's forms. In 1919, the to-
bacco tax amounted to only $751;
887, 900, while in 1920 it was $685.
1000, the report showed.
The transportation tax, which had
been estimated to produce about
.$275,qoO,OOO' annually, reached
1907, ,S08,00O for the last fiscal year.
This included taxes on freight, pas
senger, express, telephone and tele-
graph and transfer Of oil by pipe
line.
. Excess and special taxes, includ-
ing the luxury tax," brought about
1913, 100000 into the treasury. One
of the chief items in this list was
the tax on motor cars, which netted
$144, 100000. Taxes on jewelry,
cosmetics and other so-called "luxu-
ries" produced another $56,0O0,0OO.
The special corporation tax on the
value of it's stock yielded $93,OO0,-
900.
Increase and Decrease
Withdrawals from bonded ware
houses of distilled spirits for in
dustrial and other non-beverage
purposes increased from 11,000,-
900 to more than 28,000,000 gal

As a Matter of Fact, They "Won the War; Only Thru Support of Staunch Repub- licans in Congress, Who Gave Unstinted Support to All War Measures
BY COL. WINFIELD JONES.

WASHINGTON, Oct 15.-(Special Correspondence e)-Democratic stump speakers are now pointing with pride" to alleged achievements of a Democratic congress and the Wilson administration during the world war Some of these enthusiastic boosters are actually claiming that President Wilson and a Democratic congress "won the war" Little or nothing is said concerning the Re publicans' part in winning the war, and where the Republicans are men, toned at all their support of the American armies and navy is mini mixed
 As long as this issue has been raised it is not amiss to call the attention of the electorate to the historical facts in the case, which are now a matter of official record.
 Setting aside the terrible mis-
 
 Wilson and Secretary Baker the aviation scandal and the failure in field gun production are two of the most glazing examples of the inef- ficiency, extravaganza, and misman- agement, while dozens of other in stances could be mentioned) let us examine the record of the Democrats and the Republicans , in the Sixty fifth or war congress.
 In that congress, though the Demo- cratS had a majority of more than ten votes in the house and the Re publicans cast more votes for eight major war bills than the Democrats. In 26 of these war measures not a single Republican vote was cast against any measure, and in all of these ballots the Republicans voted almost their total strength.
 The vote for the draft bill stood For, Republicans, 2O1; Democrats, 191. against, Republicans, &; Demo crats, 16. In these 16 Democratic votes against the man power bill are included Randall, prohibitionist. and London, Socialist, who at that time were trailing with the Democrats on nearly all legislation.
 On all bills of supply revenue for prosecuting the war the Republicans cast larger percentages of votes than the Democrats.
 On the draft bill of April, 1917, Representative Dent of Ala, the chairman of the House Military Al fairs committee. actually brought into the house a minority report against the measure and Representa-
