Sales Tax
Proposed
By Sn1oot
Utah Senator to Introduce
Bill Calling for One Per Cent
Levy on All Turnovers
Over $4,000.
Says Plan Very Simple

Chicago Tribune-0maha Bee Leased Wire.
Washington, April l0.--Text of the
sales tax bill to be introduced by
Senator Smoot of Utah i'll the senate
tomorrow, was made public tonight.
The bill imposes tax of | per
cent on all turnovers with an an
nual exemption OF 10000, the effect Of
this being to exempt smaller farm
erS and tradesmcn. 1t has been es-
timated that the / per cent would
yield more than $1,000, 100000 annu-
ally.
In a statement III behalf Of the
general sales tax plan, Senator Smoot
90 declares that its advantages are eX-
treme simplicity OF assessment and
collection. at low tax rate, applying
uniformally on all commodities, and
absence of complicated features
which makes it difficult for the tax
payer to know at any time what his
tax liabilities are.
While the BILL as it will be intro
duccd, provides for 4 tax of per
cent, Senator Smoot indicates that
the rate might be limited to one-halF
of per cent or other alternatives
might be adopted.
Three Alternatives.
In his statement he proposes three
alternative propositions, as follows:
/. A rate of one-half of per cent
but not to exceed per cent, on all
sales without distinction of integrated
or unintegratcd concerns.
2. A rate OF three-fourths of !
per cent, but not to exceed | IL
per cent with a credit for taxes pre-
viously paid on goods bought for
resale.
8. A rate of per cent but not to
exceed 2 per cent, without distinc-
ton of integrated or unintegrated
concerns. but exemption for each
dealer on the first $4,000 of annual
sales.
For simplicity OF administration
and collection of the tax, | have
concluded to support the first named
plan, and for the purposes of this
bill have specified rate of | per
eChty Sdli cSlldtOl s1iiloot. II, tt
any time the amount to be raised
from such tax is to be reduced or
increased, the only amendment re-
quired would be to change the rate
of tax.
The bill follows closely the pro-
visions OF the Philippine sales tax
which today is the most satisfac-
al - n,,I
productive that is imposed in the is
lands"
Quarterly Payments.
Merchants and others making sales
subject to the tax would make quar-
terly payments to the government
under the terms of the bill.

Health Is Infectious.

This is from a Hindoo source:
Everything is infectious In this
world, good or bad. If your body be
in a certain state of tension, ii will
be liable to produce the same tension
in others. If you are strong and
healthy, those that live near you will
be liable to become strong and
healthy; but if you are sick and weak
those around you will be liable to be-
come the same. This vibration will
be, as 1t were, conveyed to another
body. Indeed, in the case of one man
trying to heal another, the first idea is
simply transferring his own health to
the other. This is the primitive sort
of healing. Consciously, or uncon-
sciOusly. health can be transmitted
The very strong man, living with the
very weak man, will make him a little
stronger. whether he knows il or not
When consciously done. it becomes
quicker and better in its action"

Tresses Poets Wrote OF

Hair always has been a subject of

Poets would have been bereft Of one
Of their best subjects had short hair

Viewed from the standpoint of the
practical and the sensible. long hair
hasn't q ghost of a chance against
short tresses for women. But unfor-
tunately the beautiful and the indiyid-
ual usually win over the merely prac-
teal when 1t comes to a matter of the
personal adornment Of women. and the
fact remains that many of those who
hastily cut off their tresses have re-
pented at their leisure.
Hair has played great part in his
