SMOOT DRAWS UP
SALES TAX BILL
FORMALLY ANNOUNCES HE WILL
INTRODUCE THE BILL TO
THE SENATE.
is SIMPLE IN APPLICATION
Tax on Soft Drinks, Tobacco, Etc.,
Would continue-senator Claims
II Will Permit Repeal Of
"Naeglng Taxes"

Washington.-A general sales tax
was advocated in statement by Sen
ator Smoot Utah, republican mem.
Der of the senate finance committee,
who formally announced he would in.
troduce bill TO that end in the senate
Senator Shoots measure which he
estimates would yield approximately
81 800, 100000 in revenue annually,
would place a flat tax Of ! per cent
on gross sales above $4,000 annually
OF virtually all commodities, both raw
materials and finished products. The
bill carries a few exemptions, but APP
plication OF the tax would be stayed
practically only on such commodities
as now bear a higher levy.
Early consideration OF the Smoot
proposal is planned by the senate
finance committee in its study OF the
taxation question.
In discussing his proposed sales tax,
Mr.. Smoot said II would be simple In
application and easy to compute He
declared it would properly distribute
the burden of taxation, compelling
each citizen to bear a share proper
tionate TO his ability to pay as
measured by puying or producing
powers.
EFF the sales tax becomes a part of
the revenue laws of our country" the
ctotapont continued Uoaporocn non
repeal all OF the irritating. nagging.
discriminatory taxes amounting to
hundreds Of millions OF dollars and
the excess profits tax, the result of
which has worked such havoc with
business concerns Of our country an6
which have in many cases been corr
PEELED to pay the excess profits tax
on paper profits"
Present taxes on soft drinks. tobac-
CO. automobiles and some other so
called Injuries would remain under
the Smoot bill. These commodities

already bear taxes regarded as heav-
addition to the tax on sales. levy
having the same application would be
placed on total amounts of all leases.
Concerning the scope Of the bfil the
Utah senator said;
1T is tax on the gross value Of
goods, wares and merchandise, wheth.
er raw materials or manufactured,
or partially manufactured products,
whether of domestic or foreign origin.
and such as are generally sold or ex-
changed and delivered for domestic
consumption, whether in barter or on
a cash, credit or installment basis,
which tax shall accrue at the time
OF sale or lease at the rate of one per
cent of their total value at the time
OF change of ownership"
He contended that the sales tax
method was one OF justice to all,
whether individual, firm or corpora
ton.

cality and meat worth $1,000 and the

WINS FIRST BIG POINT IN sU.
PREME COURT IN SUIT WITH
TEXAS.
OLD TREATY is UPHELD
Property Valued At 5000, ooo, 900 In
volVed in Decision-South Bank
of River Remains Boundary
Between Two States.

Washington. won in the
supreme court the first big point in
her suit with Texas for jurisdiction
over valuable Red River oil fields.
In an opinion which was unanimous
except that as Associate Justice Clarke
took no part, the court held that the
south bank of the Red river must be
taken as the true boundary between
Texas and Oklahoma from the south
eastern corner Of the latter state to
the point where the river crosses the
Tooth meridian of longitude. More
than 1000 miles of boundary were per-
manently fixed by the decision.
The court based Its findings specif-
ically on the terms Of the treaty sign.
ed in 1919 between the United States
and Spain, which "consummated the
Louisiana purchase" That document,
it held affirming its own decision in
the case Of United States VS.. Texas set
the south bank of the river as the true
boundary.
Delimitation of the exact location OF
the south bank" was postponed until
the entering of the formal decree
which will be promulgated, It was an.
nounced, within the next 30 days. I'm
til this decree Is made public, those
interested will be little better off than
before the decision. according TO per.
sons familiar with the territory in dis
pute as the river is extremely wide
and shallow along practically its en-
tire length.
THE contention that the evidence
and argument In the Greer county
case UNITED States VS.. Texas) raised
no controversy as TO whether the
boundary followed the mid-channel or
che south bank is not well founded, :
Associate Justice Pittner, who read
the courts decision, said. 1.-THE treaty
OF 1919 and a mass Of historical data
bearing upon its proper interpreta-
ton we're before the courtroom ex-
cerpts between the secretary OF state,
John Quincy Adams, and the Spanish
minister, 1t appeared that the question
whether the boundary should follow
the middle of the Sabine and Red
rivers or the westerly. bank Of the
former and the southerly bank OF the
latter, was one of the points under
discussion; the Spanish minister pro-
posing the middle lines, Mr.. Adams
the banks"
The opinion then recited that among
Adams memoirs was found the state
ment that the objection of Spain to
making the banks instead of the CEN
ter Of the stream, the boundary was
finally abandoned"

Washington.-Greece will be decl.
sively defeated by Turkey and forced
to abandon her mandate territory in
Asia-Minor unless the allies come to
her assistance Immediately with sol.
diers as well as money, is the opinion
Of high army officers here.
These officers, who by reason Of
their war department duties, are fully
informed concerning the Greco-Turk-
ish war, are firm in their conviction
that Greece already is beaten, for
they believe that If the allies had any
intention of intervening they would
not have waited until the Turks had
driven back the Greeks to Brusa.
With the surrender of Smyrna now
demanded, the loss of all the Greek
mandate possessions in Asia-Minor is
practically certain, they hold, unless
the allies assume active participation.
The opinion is expressed that Italy
and France have been assisting the
Greek army by furnishing money and
arms. Great Britain also is believed
to be helping the Greek cause.

Berlin. The former Kaiser William
HohenEollern will not enter Germany
on the occasion of his wife's burial at
Potsdam. Dispatches from his resi-
dence at Doom, in Holland, seem def
nitely to show this is the final decision
OF the exiled emperor.
Only few weeks ago, when the
death OF the kaiserin momentarily was
expected. the former kaiser, it is said,
planned to accompany her body to the
imperial tombs near Berlin. The mon
archists were preparing a great dem
onstration to exploit the mourning Of
the people for the return Of the throne.
The return Of King Constantine to
Greece gave them their main assur'
ance.
Since that time, however, the for
mer Emperor Charles has been driven
out OF Hungary under the determined
pressure of the people and of the en-
tente, while Constantine himself Is
none too sure of his place. Moreover,
the Dutch government has notified the
former kaiser that IL he leaves Hol.
land he will not be permitted to
return.

Doom, Holland.-Former Empress
Augusta Victoria, of Germany, is dead.
BY a strange coincidence the end came
Just one year after she suffered her
first serious attack OF heart disease.
1t was while she was preparing to
enter the house OF Doom, the present
home Of the former emperor Of Ger
many, after her long residence at
Amerongen, that she was stricken
with what at the time was believed
to be a fatal ATTACK. That was on
April IL, 1920. few days there
we're reports that her death was mo-
mentarily expected, but she rallied,
and accompanied her husband to
Doom on May Is last.
Attacks of her fatal malady re-
cured at different intervals, each
sapping her vitality and multiplying the
measures taken by specialists to re-
store her health. When her son,
former Prince Joachim, committed
suicide in Berlin last July, she was In
such serious condition that the news
OF his death was kept from her for a
long time. and 1t is said that she never
learned her son killed himself.
Late last autumn the former EN-.
press condition gradually became
worse. and on several occasions her
children were called to Doom, but
her strength was such that she raj
lied bravely when the end was be-
lieved imminent. Since the first Of
the year It had been known that she
was gradually sinking.
The death came as a shock to the
dwellers in Doom Castle.
