NOLACK IF OUTDOOR SPORTS FOR MEN IN
 NEW PEACE ARMY

Outdoor sports have become quite a factor in the general routine of train ing in the new peace time army, and the service men have an opportunity to take part in all sports worth men tioning: even polo" which in civil life is a millionaire's game.
 Every military post or camp-of any size in the United States, has regu- lation baseball diamond, handball bas- ket ball and tennis courts, boxing arena, wrestling mat, etc. All athletic prop erty and wardrobe are supplied by the government, even to the spiked shoes for baseball, and the tights and sneak CTS used in boxing and wrestling
 An hour and forty five minute period is set aside for outdoor sports, four days of each week. The afternoons of Wednesday and Saturday arc given over entirely to athletics. The period devoted to athletics is a part of the F hour general routine of training received by the service men six days a week, and is considered just as i'm portant as their military and vocational training.
 Nearly all large, permanent military posts have a polo field, especially per manent cavalry posts, for cavalrymen are strong for mounted" sports, and organization of cavalry has a string Of fine polo ponies.
 To make a long story short-the en- listed men of the l.. $. cavalry may indulge in this sport of kings, that in civil life a man must be coupon clipper. or at least have wealthy to even think he would like to play the game

KAHN FAVORS TAX
ON GROSS SALES
Banker Suggests Experiment
for One Year on a Nina
ture Scale.

Otto II. Kahn. in statement ad-
dressed yesterday TO the National In
dustrial Conference Board on the sub
ject of Federal taxation. recommends
the initiation of a tax on gross sales on
~ miniature scale" as an experiment
for one year, before committing the ma
ton to a fixed system which had not pre-
viously been tested.
He asserted that the trainers of
the present tax system have violently
iuterfered" with the regular flow OF
capital needed for the normal conduct
OF the country's commerce and industry
and that THE recent semi-panicky COL
LAPSE in the market for securities may
be ascribed. In considerable part, TO
forced offerings by those in pressing
need of CASH with which to pay taxes.
While regarding the production or ~
ner cent. OF the total Federal revenues
in 1918 by indirect taxation as eeinS
"far too large a proportion" Mr.. Kahn
holds that in providing only 30 per cent
of the total by indirect taxation to-day
1--WE have stepped far beyond the line OF
equity and practical wisdom.
my suggestion" says Mr. Kahn, IS
whether II would not be worth While 10
try the experiment. % careIully ue-
signed gross sales or turnover TAX
limited To commodities, but only at
rate which would be an almost nominal
one. say ono quarter or possibly one
third Of per cent. That would mean,
assuming oven that the tax passes in all
instances from the original producer
manufa cturer. jobber and retailer 10 the
INNER
ceptible addition TO ultimate costs
"such an experiment would enable us
10 test out the merits or dement's OF a
gross sales or turnover tax. without
swing any just ground for popular com
plant and without bringing about to any
substantial degree those undesirable re-
suits which the critics of that KIND OF
tax foresee a years test on the ex-
detrimental miniature scale here sug-
gested would demonstrate In actual
practice the workings Of such tax and
would enable public opinion to judge
definitely whether It should be retained
enlarged or discarded.
AT the rate of one-third OF per
cent. a gross sales tax on commodities
ought to bring in somewhere between
$3.50. 900. 900 and $3.50. 100000 for. say.
the twelve months period beginning July
1921 (If initial sales OF farm crops
and live stock are exempted the yield
would be reduced by, roughly speaking
probably 10 per cent?
THAT is not enough. Of course, tc
make up for the yield from, the excess
profits tax and from other taxes that
ought TO be revised or abolished, but II
Is a very large sum and would go long
way to help in meeting the deficiency
