Health Officer Fowler expects to COM

tons milk supply. upon which he homes
to obtain action at the forthcoming ses-
sion Of Congress.
At the last session hea rings were held

experts as to the best method Of reeu-
lation. and none Of the bills was en-
acted.

The health officer, it is understood. is

wording Of his bill in the hope Of elimi-

ferences which existed at the last ses-
sion.

The District fire department. it was

"is mask that will protect man from

fire"
The department has only about a
dozen of the present type of mask.
which fits over the mans head and
has an oxygen tank attached to it.
Firemen can go safely into a burning
building with this mask, because they
carry their own oxygen.
The chief is not yet certain whether
the type of mask used in the trenches
will do for fire fighting. He pointed
out that the Army mask is used in the
open, whereas the fireman works in
side a smoke-filled building, where it
is difficult to get the oxygen required.
1t is probable that if new type
mask is adopted the department will
endeavor to obtain a larger supply of
them, so that they will not be re-
stricted to truck companies.

PLAN TO DIVIDE
TAXATION BURDEN
Senator Smoot Drafts Bill
Proposing Sales Levy of
! Per Cent.

A sales tax of I per cent on all goods
sold or leased after July 1, in excess
of $4,000. during the taxable year. is
proposed in a bill drafted by Senator
Smoot of Utah, for immediate intro
duction.
The Utah senator estimates the tax
will bring in s1.500,000,00O in revenue.
The tax is offered as a substitute for
the excess profits tax and several
other forms of taxation.
Every person liable for the proposed
sales tax will be required to make
quarterly returns and pay the tax i'm
revenue for the district in which is
located his principal place Of business.
Penalty for Non-Payment.
If the tax is no: paid when due
there shall be added a penalty of 5
per cent. together with interest, al the
rate of l per cent for each full month
from the time when the tax became
due.
Senator Snoot issued a formal state
ment explaining his reasons for sup
porting sales tax of this kind. which
is almost identical with the sales tax
plan that has operated so successfully
in the Philippine Islands for many
years.
The proposed sales tax. while it will
have strong support in Congress. will
have hard shedding. Farmers organiza-
tons and members of Congress from
agricultural states look askance upon it.
The democrats as a general PROPOSE
ton will attack the tax plan on the
ground that it lifts the burden of taxa
ton from wealth and places it upon the
great mass of consumers.
Would Distribute Burden.
Early consideration of the Smoot
proposal is planned by the Senate finance
committee in it's study of the taxation
question. Tentative arrangements con-
template the opening of hearings on this
phase before the end of the week.
In discussing his proposed sales tax
Mr.. Smoot said it would be simple in
application and easy to compute He
declared it would properly distribute
the burden of taxation. compelling each
citizen to bear share proportionate
to his ability to pay as measured by
buying or producing powers.
