THIEVES RANSACK
FRA|M DAIRY PLANT
Created Havoc, But Were Not
Very Well Rewarded for
Their Trouble.

Leaving in their wake broken desks
doors and other pieces of furniture,
burglars early this morning played
havoc when they broke into the
Fraim dairy, at Vandever avenue and
Mabel street. The cash register in
the office was broken into and the
contents, $3.50 in small change, re-
moved. The robbery is supposed to
have occurred shortly after midnight.
according to Clarence Fraim, general
manager. After first entering the
stables, adjoining the main building
on Vandever avenue, the thieves.
armed with pitchforks and heavy iron
bars, made their attack on the office
building. After thoroughly ransaclS-
ing the first floor, the marauders
moved to the second floor, where they
succeeded in doing much damage to
property and office fixtures. In the
private office occupied by Mr.. Fraim a
heavy plate glass was removed from
the door. Inside the office the thieves
broke open several desks and scattered
the contents on the floor. In an adj
Joining office, occupied by the drivers.
the outlaws used a pitchfork and
heavy iron bar in breaking open the
door.
When the robbery was discovered.
at o'clock this morning, the entire
second floor presented a scene of dis
order, according to the drivers.
That the robbery was work of anna
teurs is the opinion of the police. A
heavy iron safe in the office of Mr..
Fraim on the second floor was not
molested and no attempt whatever
was made to break into it.
This is the third robbery at the
Fraim dairies within the past six
according to Mr.. Fraim. Tn.
damage this morning exceeded by far
that of any previous robbery.

SHOOTS TAX BILL

ON MANUFACTURES
Senator Explains His Measure
Would Abolish All of Various
War Measures.
TO YIELD S75e, ,756, 900
BY Associated Press to Every Evening.

/ BY Associated Press to Every Evening
Washington. Sept. 30--A nanufac-
turers' sales tax Of three per cent. was
| formally proposed to the Senate today
by Senator Smoot. Republican, Utah.
The senator explained that this would
be In substitution for "all OF the vari-
Gus war taxes, the excise taxes. lux
ury taxes, stamp taxes, capital stock
tax, transportation. telegraph and in
surance taxes, the taxes on soft drinks.
ice cream, cosmetics, admissions and
dues, and all OF the other 81 varie-
ties. OF obnoxious. discriminatory forms
OF taxation" which would be repealed
on next Januarys, under a series Of
amendments to the revenue revision
bill offered by the Senator.
Repeal of the excise profits tax as Of
last January / instead of on next
January /, as planned by both the
House and the Senate finance conn
mittee, also was proposed by Senator
Smoot. Under his amendments the cor
poration income tax would remain
at 10 per cent, but there would be
no change in the present tobacco.
ilquor and inheritance taxes.
The sales tax amendment reads.
That In addition TO all other taxes
there shall be levied, assessed. COL
lected 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 three
per cent of the price for which such
commodity is sold, leased or licensed; !;
such tax to be paid by the manufac-
turer or producer"
1T should be noted" said Senator
Smoot, that as the tax is imposed
only when articles are sold for con-
sumption or use without further pro-
cess of manufacture - there will
be but one tax. If commodity is
sold Tor consumption or use in a fur
ther process of manufacture no tax
viii be imposed. For example, crude
oil sold for fuel would be taxable. but
If sold to refinery for the making Of
gasoline or like commodities would not
be taxable,
In 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.
II viii practically exempt all the ag
ricultural products since the average
value of products of farms for this
year, has been estimated by the De-
partnient of Agriculture at between
$1,000 and $4,000 but as most agri-
cultural products would find their way
into manufactured products, they
would be exempt snyway under the
definition of the tax.
The yield of this tax has been
carefully estimated and approved by
one of the foremost economists in the
country, Professor Charles J. Bullock.
OF Harvard, to produce during the
calendar year 1922, $3.50, 756, 900. Con-
servatism has been exercised through
out this estimate. The yield will un-
doubtedly be close to 81, ,00O, 600 600,
but the figure given is more than
ample to provide the revenue which
will be lost by the repeals which II
propose"
