Revision of Tax
Laws Completed
In Conference
Several Additional Changes
Made in Measure by Rcpub.
lican Members of Ways
And Means Committee.
Nv The Associatsd rre.s.

Washington, Aug. l+.-Revision Of
the 1918 tax law was completed to-
iay by republican members OF the
house ways and means committee,
with the adoption of these addition
al changes. z e.s
Repeal OF the express and oil pipe
line transportation taxes, effective
January ]. 1922.
Imposition OF license tax OF $40
on vendors of soft drinks effective
upon enactment of the bill.
Substitution of a manufacturers
tax Of II cents gallon on cereal
beverages (near becr) for the pres
cnt levy Of IS per cent. effective up
on enactment OF the bill.
Imposition OF per cent tax on
tie full manufacturers selling price
OF the following articles, if sold by
the manufacturers at levels in en-
cess of those specified:
Carpets and rugs. $3.50 per square
yard; trunks, $50 each; yalises, trav-
cling bags, suitcases. hat boxes used
by travellers and fitted toilet cases,
SIS each; purses. pocxetbooks. shop
ping and handbags, S. each; port
able lighting fixtures. including
lamps OF all kinds and shades. $40
each; fans, 81 each, and house or
smoking coats or jackets and bath
or loung.ng robes, S. each.
VIII Cover Shortage.
These taxes also would become
effective upon enactment of tie bill
Announcing completion Of their
4, work. members of the committee
said they believed the bill as agreed
upon would produce the $3,0O0,0 ,000,-
600 total which Secretary Mellon es-
tmated at the White House tax
conference last Tuesday it would be
necessary to raise from internal rev.
enue next year. Not all of this sum
would be collected on this years
business, however. as the total in
cludes $300,0O0,000, which treasury
officials estimate can be collected on
back taxes.
The bill, as finally drafted by the
committee, will be presented to the
house Monday, under present plans
of republican leaders, and will be
passed next Saturday. From the
house it will go to the senate, where
the finance committee will consider
it during the proposed congressional
recess, with a view to reporting it to
the senate when congress recon-
venes, probably late in September.
Retain Phone Tax.
With the removal of the express
and oil pipe lines taxes, the COM
mittee eliminated all Of the transport
tation taxes. No change was made,
however, in the levies of telegraph,
telephone, cable and radio messages,
this section of the old law remaining
in force.
The manufacturers tax OF 5 per
cent on carpets, trunks and other
articles is designed to replace the So
called luxury levies now in force, in
cluding those on wearing apparel,
but the plan now is to continue these
taxes, collected and paid to the gov
srrnnent by the retailers, until jan
uafy despite the fact that the man
ufacturers' tax would become effec-
tive upon enactment Of the bill. =.
The licenses tax on venders OF
soft drinks is new levy exclusive
OF the manufacturers tax on syrups
used at fountains and on unfermented
beverages, carbonated waters or other
soft drinks sold in containers.

WHY JOHN WAS NOT SMOKING
Probably the Widest Idea of His

Wide of the Mark

All the men at the club have been
watching Johnnie Edwards. the invet-
crate smoker, for the last week. and
there's been much Surmising and con-
occurring, but Johnnie wouldn't give
himself away. 1t seems that Johnnie
has held the prize for the champion
smoker of the club for ten years.
In the last week Johnnie has been
seen StrOlling around the room with
Il detected, lost appearance and be-
tween his lips always the inevitable
cigarette. Put it was never lighted.
Nobody liked to ask him questions and
he didn't volunteer any explanation, so
it wasn't explained until Jimmie Van
Week overheard him say on the tele-
phone:

lie dsfayors the practice and states
with a good deal of emphasis that such
tactics have tendency to make these
players dissatisfied and in many in
stances serves to lower the morale OF
the club that gets him.
There are surely many angles to the
rpoblem which would seem to favor
Mack's argument. one of the most
important is the demoralizing influence
such a transaction has upon the home
fans OF that particular club. Mack has
had a habit of demons tratinS stars and
then selling them instead of buying.
This is all right but receiving vast
sums of money for certain players is
not strictly in line with the best sport
Ing principles. Commcricalism and
sport. in any of its varied branches.
cannot go together. What honor would
there be in winning a championship
thru the power OF money alone? Sup
posing the management of a certain
club bought all the star performers OF
both leag gues and won the champion
ship lin Il walk it certainly would be
an empty honor.
The transaction in question and tho
ono which brought the condemnation of
Mack was the fabulous price offered
tho st. Louis club for Rogers Hornsby
by John McGraw. of the Giants. His
last offer was se50.OO0 with an addI-
tional t25. 900 IL they won the cham
pionship OF tho National league and
an added $4,000 if they proved vic
tors in the worlds series. II is certain
that every club in tho National league.
Or tho American for that matter. can
not afford TO pay such fortunes for
players. and the New York Nationals
being tho richest orgS Snization in either
l"aguc, believes il proper to win the
Championship by buying team. 1t
would hardly appear 80, nor does 1t
ro1cct the true sportsman on the part
Of McGraw. Tho thought that they

CONNIE MACK DEGREES PRACTICE
OF PAYING BIG MONEY FOR STARS
Commercialism and Sport in Any Of Its Branches Can
not Go Together-Moneyed Clubs Have
Unfair Advantage

Hornsby is not for sale at any price.
This is the stand that should be taken
by all club managers, in fact, 1t seems
that IA rule should be made by the
league prohibiting tho transfers OF
star PLAYERS. Weak teams are not
drawing cards and why rob Peter TO
pay Paul Garry Hcrrmann, of the
Reds, has turned down the offer oil
McGraw for Groh. This will be Sood
news to thousands of fans. But there
is no use of talking: the seeds of DIS
content, so far as the Hohnsby incl
dent is concerned have been sown'
Reports from the st. Louis camp are
to tho effect that Hornsby wants to so
to New York. He turned down the
offer Of management with the excuse
that it would interfere with his play
ing.
1t seems likely that with Hornsby
playing second with the Giants and
Frisch at third they would have an al
most impreGnablc infield. Hornsoy
is wonderful batter. Last year he
not only led the league in batting with
II percentage of $40, but he had more
base hits FOR a total number OF bases
and more two base hits than any
other player in the league. 1t would
seem that remark made couple of
years ago by McGraw to the effect
that he considered Hornsby the most
III tlIntT -
borne out by his record for the past
season.
But Connie Mack's remark will not
down. Tho offer OF eNorbitent sums
of money for a player to the detriment
of his club is not conducive TO better
ball and that the offer tends to make
the player dissa tisfied has been
proven timo and time again. and that
1t is occasion for hold-outs is another
fact: all decryinE the evils Of the
custom. But when will the limit OF
these offers be reached? The PittsburE
club made a bonafide offer OF 800. 900
for Shortstop Maranville the Yankees
paid moro than this for Babe Ruth,
but when It Is considered tina; Nc
Graw has offered over twice the sum
for Hornsby that Ruth cost tho Yam
KEGS, the limit viii be the sky In
time. But just consider the matter
from n philosophic point Of view: tho
idea strikes ono as exaggerated be-
yond common sense and reason. Let
tho rule be promulgated by the league
that when great stars arc demon
strated let them remain with the team
with which they earned their laurels,
and Let managers envy the other fell
low and go out and cndcavor TO de-
volop n duplicate. Connie Mack GER
tainly sounds the keynote OF popular
favor.

Elimination Tourney Result

The matter was submitted to the
committee in charge OF arrangements
at Boulder with the result that au-
thority was given to send two schools
each year to the state meeting. One
Will be assured a place on percentage
basis. while another would be chosen
by process of elimination.
Leo p. Kelly, Pueblo attorney, was
added to the list of the executive COM
mittee.
Kelly is a southside man, and 1t was
deemed best that his name be added
to the list for the good of high school
athletics and as a representative OF
the Central high school.
1t is probable that another name Will
be added within the next few days.
The names of y. NJ c. \. men have
been under consideration for sometime
and the announcement of the appoint
ment will be made as soon as agree
ment is reached.
At the next meeting OF the Pueblo

charge OF track and baseball for this
spring will be named. The purpose
of the Pueblo Athletic club Is to fos-
ter high school athletics in this section
of Colorado, with view to enabling
the naming of state champion in
high school circles in all branches Of
sports,
Activities will not be confined to
high school sports alone, municipal
athletic meets will also be promoted.
