SALES TAX FLAYED
BY LA TOILETTE
Senator Sees big Business"
Reaping Benefit in Repeal
OF Other Levies.

MADISON, Wis. March 27.-"The
proposed sales tax is a tax on life"
was the emphatic statement of Rob-
ert NJ. La Toilette, United States
Senator from Wisconsin, on the eve
OF his departure for Washington.
This tax you must pay or starve
and freeze" he added in an inter
view.
Senator La Toilette goes to wash
ington to take up the fight against
big business" legislation. after
resting at his home in Madison for
a week.
They have a nice little plan all
worked out" said La Toilette. The
majority in Congress and their mil
lionaire masters want to do three
things:
81 First, they propose to repeal the
excess profits tax.
Second, they would repeal the
tax on large incomes.
Third, they will insist upon a
sales tax.
You see," he said. they are go
ing to make the common folk pay
the running expenses of the gov
ernment. the interest on the Liberty
bonds and create a sinking fund to
retire the bonds"
Senator La Toilette said the taxa
ton question would be the para
mount issue at the coming session
of Congress. Big business and the
owners of big incomes" he said.
were paying income and excess
profits taxes aggregating $1,000. .oOO,-
600 annually.
This is an obnoxious law TO
them" he said. They would sub
stitute this with tax on every
thing we eat wear and use"
The gouge- of the common people
will not end with the sales tax
legislation. the Senator said. There
is also Nto be a heavy tariff tax.
which the people will have to pay.

multimillionaires."

new IMMIGRATION
HEAD FAVORS BILL
TO REDUCE INFLUX
Husband Says Dilling-
ham Measure Meets
His Approval.

Endorsement of the Dillingham;
immigration restriction bill. which
failed through pocket veto" by
President Wilson at the end Of the
last session OF Congress, was given
by w. w. Husband, new Commits
sioner General of immigration last
night.
The plan embodied In the Dilling-
ham bill, and indorsed by Mr.. Hus-
band, would restrict immigration
from any European country to 3
per cent of the number of nationals
OF that country now in the United
States.
To Ask Passage.
1t is the intention of the leaders
in the Senate and House Immigra-
tion committees to press for pas
sage of this measure Immediately
after the extra session of Congress
is convened on April IL
7 Mr. Husband has the unique dis
tinction OF being the first Commits
sioner General of immigration to
assume the ONCE as a deep student
and recognized authority on immi-
grafton questions. Since the war
he has made a close study OF immi.
grafton problems in practically ev-
cry European country.
According tuSthe latest available
statistics" said the Commissioner
General, 'an average of l.72s immi-
grants are inspected every day at
Ellis Island after being released
from quarantine. Many are quite
penniless, and have TO be detained
at the island until relatives or
friends supply the money to take
them to their destination.
Cause Of Delays.
This is due to the months Of de-
lay required for passport formalities
at foreign ports. and also to the
gang of thieves who infest these
ports and prey on immigrants.
Il feel that the sentiment of this
country is, not so much against the
present large amount of immigrs-
tion ss the character Of the new
corners. without making invidious
comparisons between nations. We
are not getting the racial stocks We
want in due proportion.
Eject OF Bill.
"A bill limiting newcomers to
three per cent OF their nationals
now resident on American soil will
be passed at the special session of
Congress. in my opinion. This is by
no means so drastic an exclusion as
appears. For instance. II would per-
nit the immigration of 10000 to
10000 Germans a year after the con-
clusion OF peace. and a larger immi-
grafton from Scandinavian coun-
tries, England and France, than
actual prewar figures aver reachad
At the same time, II would restrict
immigration from South European
countries, Russia and Poland.
The greatest care is taken to
prevent the entry OF infectious dis
eases by new immigrants, and, /
think. with remarkable success.
We are country made up of i'm
migrants, and do not want total ex-
clusion. but intelligent selection
and regulation"

Keen Rivalry for Vacancies
Shown by Members of
House.

With tariff and tax revision the
most important subjects for the
coming session Of Congress. there ls
keen rivalry for places on the
House Ways and Means Committee
which handles this legislation.
Two additional Republicans and

Republicans on the committee dur,
ing the past session has retired from
congress two additional places have

duce the Democratic membership.
Three Of the ten Democrats now
on the committee were defeated for
reelection: Henry T. Rainey of Illi-
nois; Hull of Tennessee and Dickin-
son Of Missouri. The reduction in
the Democratic membership will
leave only one vacancy to be hIIed,

DAMON AND PYTHI.4S
DISCIPLES IN FIGHT

CHICAGO, March 2T.-Johns Bzk-
er. IS, and George Walsh. 81, have
been lifelong friends. but they
chose Easter Sunday upon which TO
engage in an acrimoniuos dispute
over some trife which neither one
can now recall. At any rate, the
dispute grew into a battle Of such
dimensions that a riot call brought
out police reserves. They arrived
just in time TO see Baker bounce an
iron cuspidor on the grey pate Of
Walsh.
NO. don't want my friend Rak-
er arrested" protested Walsh. as
the ambulance surgeons dressed the
cut made by the cuspidor. Il don't
want a little thing like a cuspidor
TO interfere with a friendship Of
fifty years"
He's a dear old fool" said Bak-
er, but I'd give my life for him.
Let me step out and get him a bunch
of flowers or something"
What was the row about?" ask
ed the desk sergeant.
Both the old men looked puzzled
and thought deeply for some time.
Blessed IL we can think what we
were arguing about" they agreed
as they shook their heads.

HOPE OF LIQUOR
RETURN FADES

Owners of stocks of liquor that
have been confscated because H.
legally transported, or because the
holders of such stocks acquired
them illegelly. are hoping in vain
for a return of these stocks under
a ruling of the Fourth United States
Circuit Court of Appeals, according
to q statement yesterday by Pro-
,hibitfon Commissioner Kramer
The ruling. which was handed
down on March 10. holds that the
Volstead act supersedes the old in
ternaf revenue laws. insofar as they
relate to. Intoxicating liquors, and
that a large part of the millions of
dollars worth of liquor seized In
New York and other cities has been
taken under internal revenue laws
and not under the Volstead act
IN every case it will be neces-
sary for the claimant of a stock of
liquor to go through a tedious and
costly legal procedure to recover
his liquor IL he ever recovers IL at
all. The bootleggers who are hon.
ing for blanket restoration of con-
fiscated liquor under this decision
are doomed to disappointment"
