of the larger or class 1 railroads had
been included in the makeup OF its

SALES TAX BILL
GIVEN To SENATE
Shoots Substitute Is Formally
Presented to Body.
TO REPLACE EST" VARIETIES
Three Per Cent Levy on Manufactur.
ers Would Take Place of War,
Excise, Luxury, Stamp, Capital
Stock and Other Taxes.

Washington, Oct IA manufacture
ers' sales tax OF 3 per cent was for
mally proposed TO the senate by Sen
ator Smoot (Rep., Utah).
Senator Smoot explained that this
would be in substitution for "all of
the various war taxes, the excise
taxes, luxury taxes, stamp taxes, cap
itai stock tax, transportation. tele-
graph and insurance taxes; the tax
on soft drinks, ice cream, cosmetics,
admission and dues and all or the
other .57 varieties of obnoxious, dis
criminatory forms of taxation" which
would be repealed on next January l
under a series of amendments to the
revenue revision bill offered by the
senator.
Repeal of the excess profits tax as
of last January instead of next Janu-
airy l, as planned by both the house
and the senate finance committee, also
was proposed by Mr.. Smoot. Under
his amendments the corporation In
come tax would remain at 10 per cent,
but there would be no change In the
present tobacco, liquor and inheritance
taxes.
Text of Sales Amendment.
The sales tax amendment reads:
THAT in addition to all other taxes
there shall be levied, assessed, collect
ed and paid upon every commodity
manufactured, or produced, when sold,
leased or licensed for consumption or
use without further process of manu-
facture, tax equivalent to per
cent Of the price for which such com
modify is sold, leased or licensed |;
such tax to be paid by the manufac-
turer or producer"
ut should be noted" said Senator
Smoot. ''that as the tax is imposed
only when articles are, sold FOR con-
sumption or use without further
process OF manufacturer the tax will
be noncumulative in effect and Will
give the integrated business no advan-
tage over the disintegrated business.
There will be but one tax. If a
commodity Is sold for consumption
or use in further process of manu-
facture no tax Will be imposed. For
example. crude oil sold for fuel would
be taxable, but If sold TO refinery
for tile making of gasoline or like
commodities would not be taxable.
Agricultural Products Exempt.
''ln order to avoid administrative
difficulties with small sales, the bill
provides for an exemption of all sales
Of less than $4,000 during one year.
This will practically exempt all agri-
cultural products, but as most agrl-
cultural products would find their
way into manufactured products, they
would be exempt, anyway.
"provisiOn Is made for like tax
upon similar imported commodities
so that there can be no discrimination
against American products.
"rhe yield Of this tax has been
carefully estimated and approved by
one Of the foremost economists In the
country. Prof. Charles J. Bullock of
Harvard, to produce during the cal
endar year 1922 $3.50, 10000 Con-
seryatism has been exercised through
out this estimate The yield will un-
doubtedly be. close to $1,000 100000,
but the figure given is more than am
pie TO provide the revenue which will
be lost by the repeats which / pro-

Gairioch, Scotland, Sept. 30.-The
text OF Prime Minister Lloyd Georges
reply to the latest note from Eam0nn

'sSir: His majestys government
has given close and earnest consid-
GRAFTON to the correspondence which
has passed between us since their
tayitatiOn to you to send delegates
te conference at Inverness.
I'm spite of their sincere desire for
peace, and In spite of the more con-
t.iaiatory tone of your latest commune
kations, they cannot enter into a con-
ference upon the basis of this cor
kespondence.
Can't Recognize Republic.
Notwithstanding your personal as
kssFance to the contrary, which they
tauch appreciate, it might be argued
INA the future that the acceptance of
h conference on this basis had In
E0ayed them in q recognition which
mo British government can accord.
On this point they must guard them
selves against any possible doubt.
There is no purpose to be served by
Amy further interchange of explana-
tory and argumentative cOmmunica-
bsOns upon this subject. The position
taken up by his majesty's government
is fundamental to the existence of the
British empire, and they cannot al
der 1t.
my colleagues and 1 remain, how
ever, keenly anxious to make, in CO.
operation with your delegates. another
determined effort to explore every
koaal discussion.
Feels Conference Is Needed.
'sThe proposals which we have al
ready made have been taken by the
sssoie world as proof that our endeav-
W~s for reconciliation and settlement
are no empty form, and we feel that
conference. not correspondence, is the
most practical and hopeful way to an
understanding such as we ardently
iaesire Go achieve.

"A fresh invitation TO a conference in
london on October IL, where we can
meet your delegates as the spokes-
men of the people whom you repre-
seat with view to ascertalning how

DOMESTIC SCIENCE LUNCH

At the Blackfoot high school, the
domestic science department dele
gates some girls each day to spend
As minutes studying in the cooking
department and at IL o'clock a
dainty lunch is ready to be served.
At that moment more girls appear,
put on their caps and aprons and do
the serving. Teachers and students
are entitled to go to the lunch room
and be served in cafeteria style.
Each one picks up serving tray and
a little bundle consisting of knife,
fork and spoon rolled up in nap
kin, passes to the counter where the
foods, steaming hot are on exhibit
and ready to be dished up. He in
dicates the particular things that he
wishes, another student in the book
keeping work, looks over the food
served, collects enough money from
him to pay the cost of the food, not
counting the work of preparing it or
the electricity used in the cooking
demonstration. The person being
served pays that much in cash, sits
down at little table and eats and
turns the tray in to the dlshWasher.
1t is a cash transaction and is self
supporting and in this way the
students in the school receive train
ing in correct methods of cooking
and serving.
The school district furnishes the
electric ranges and cooking utensils,
dishes and tables, cabinets, etc. Then
there is revolving fund from which
to buy the food and the amounts
which the students and teachers turn
in for their meals, keeps up the re-
volving fund.
On the occasion when the writer
studied the department, they served
meat pie, mashed potatoes with
gravy, two sandwiches, some jelly,
chocolate pudding and coffee, all for
40 cents and it was good. The whole
department is under the manage
ment of Miss Lindberg, who plans
everything and teaches the girls in
cooking, the use of electricity, cor
rect rations and everything that goes
to make up the culinary department
of home.

MASS MEETING SATURDAY TO
DISCUSS FARM BUREAU WORK

There will be a mass meeting at
the court house on Saturday at
o'clock to discuss matters relating
to the farm bureau. The commits
sioners want to know how the farm
ers feel about the question as to
whether the bureau is bringing re-
suits to them that are worth the
expenditure. If the farmers want
it continued, if they think it is worth
the cost, the board is ready to appro-
pirate money for that purpose. If
the farmers do not report that it is
worth the cost and that there is hope
of improvement in it, then the board
may refuse to make an appropria-
ton.
There has been a great deal of dis
cussion of the matter lately and the
board has been advised both ways
by the few people who have come
before the board. A petition was
presented Monday, asking them to
defer making the appropriation and
to act only when they had heard
from the taxpaying farmers them
selves as to the good they are get
ting from the farm bureau.

FOOL ECONOMY AT BULL

Bull, Idaho has furnished the big
gest fool program of putting on lux
ury in poverty and ought to have
a wooden medal.
Jack Gibbs, a former Blackfoot
man has been on the village council
at Bull for some time, and last
summer he was showing a Blackfoot
friend what wonderful town they
had. Among other things he showed
the new school building they were
starting to build and showed him an
$4,000 baseball diamond belonging
to the school or the village, we are
not sure which.
Recent press reports show that
they have an unfinished school build
ing, which they have no funds and
no credit to finish, no school in OPP
Grafton and they are asking the
Idaho legislature to make a special
appropriation, an unheard of thing
for village school district, to get
them out of their muddle, admitting
that if the state let them have the
money they could not pay it back.
Some joker has taken the trouble
to figure up the Indebtedness of the
village of Bull and it's population
and announces that there is a public
debt of $500 for each man, woman
and child.
This is a good time for them to
sell that baseball diamond Diamonds
are reputed to be good investments.
