STUDY RAISING TAXES
TO MEET Loss ON STOCKS

Washington, March 19.-Treasury
officials were called Friday to present
the departments views to the house
ways and means committee on rails
ing federal revenues to meet losses
as result of the decision Of the gu
preme court that stock dividends are
not taxable. The committee also ex-
pected to discuss simplifcatlons OF
present income and excess profits
tax laws, proposed by Secretary
Houston in q letter to the committee
yesterday.
Chairman Fordney has plan call
Ing for a fiat tax on all profits or
incomes, with the same percentage
on large and small incomes, and pro-
viding for the repeal of the $4,000
exemption provision. Under such
plan, he stated, the rate of taxation
would be reduced from the present
rate of % per cent. to approximately
II per cent.
Democratic members OF the ccm-
mittee, however, oppose such action
on the ground that it shifts the bur-
den of taxation from large incomes
to the smaller ones. Representative
hitchin. democrat. Of North Caro-
lima, said "the profteer. either in war
or peace, should bear the excess bur
den of taxation Present tax laws
are satisfactory, he said. adding that
there was small possibility of any
material revision during this ses-
sion of congress.

VETS PLAN OUT
THEIR CAMPAIGN
VolStead Act Must Be Liberalized-Will
Not Attempt to Bring Back the
Saloon.

WASHINGTON, March 20-Leading
vets III congress have their legislative
programme fairly well mapped out, al.
though of course it is realized that much
Of it depends upon the action of the
supreme court upon the sheaf of cases
now before it.
If the court rules in one set of eases
that congress had no right under the
eighteenth amendment to specify the
alcoholic contents of ''intoxicating lid-
lors,' manifestly the Volstead act must
BE amended If it decides in the Rhode
Island and New Jersey cases that the
concurrent jurisdiction of congress
does not give the federal government
superior power of enforcement in states
disposed to be liberal, then again the
Volstead act must undergo modification.
IF it agrees with the contention of the
vets that the eighteenth amendment is
II impossible conflict with other pro-
visions of the constitution or was inn
properly ratified, the integrity of the
,ntire enforcement legislation is called
question.
If the court upholds the view of the
vets in the Ohio referendum case, con
PRESS has at least to consider the ques-
ion as to when the Nolstead act aetu
ally became effective, if at ALL
If. on the other hand, the court up
holds the eighteenth amendment and the
Volstead act in all of their phases, the
vets in congress will nevertheless seek
L modification of the laws provisions
IN the basis of their belief that there
sufficient popular reaction against the
lrastic features of the Volstead act to
Justify liberalization of that measure.
None of the responsible wet leaders Sc
riously considers the question of seek
ng a repeal of constitutional prohibi-
ion through legislative steps. All of
hem agree, moreover, that it would be
suicidal on their part to undertake any
change in the law which would bring
back the saloons and grog shops and
permit the indiscriminate manufacture
md sale of ''hard liquors. They
feel safest in the hope that their flag
will be nailed fast to the proposition of
Eight wines and beer.

NEW DOG LICENSE
LAW INTERPRETED
misunderstanding Has Existed, and
Some Will Have to Pay More
Than Heretofore Charged.

The famous dog law passed by the
legislature of 1919 is causing no end of
confusion in many parts of the state
of Vermont.
The general Interpretation of the law
has been that any male dog and any
female dog could be licensed on or be-
fore April 1st of any year for 50 and
So respectively, but closer reading of
the law makes the meaning in some
cases entirely different.
The law regarding the fee to be paid
reads in part "and shall pay for such
license two dollars for one male or
spayed female dog and six dollars for
one female dog if such dog was Ii
censed prior to the first day of April
1919; for dogs that have not been Ii
censed prior to such date the fee for
such license shall be five dollars for one
male or spayed female dog and twelve
dollars for one female dog
Heretofore under the old law an ad-
vanced fee has been required after
April l of every year and as this new
law was passed just prior to April l.
1919, it was generally thought that the
conditions were the same and that the
fees for all dogs on or before April
OF every year were the same. however,
the fact that thes year 1919 was men
toned in the new law makes it evil
dent that old dogs licensed before April
|, 1919, go in at the low price and will
as long as they live while those born
since April /, 1919, must forever pay
the higher rate The law also provides
that if the license is obtained between
April l and May Is a fee must be
paid 30 per cent in excess of that other
wise required or $3.50 for male or
spayed female dog and SIS for fe-
| male.
The matter has been presented to
town counsel, A, p. Carpenter, whose
opinion is that there is no other inter
probation to be placed on the law
Town clerk Hopkins has issued 81
| licenses to date at the low rate as it
was his understanding that that was
| the amount the law meant. Mr.. Hop
| kins states that nearly all of the IL
| censes granted are on old dogs and are
| therefore legal He will notify those
who have obtained licenses and should
have paid the higher rate so the addi-
| tional fee can be forthcoming
| There are other features of the law
equally confusing so that the proven
bal Philadelphia lawyer is needed to
| interpret the thing as a whole.
