BEER TAX ALONE,

ninq world.)

WASHINGTON, Feb. Fl Copy
right, 1922. l-i3ootlegger or bonus
that's the question which now is
being propounded here.
Shall the Government put tax on
light wines and beer, or even on beer
only. and get more than enough
money with which to pay the soldier
bonus, or shall the bootlegger con-
tinuc to get enormous profits which
the Government is unable to reach
either through the income tax OF
through Prohibition enforcement?
In desperation. Congress is seeking
a method to raise s35OOOO.OOO a year
to pay soldier bonus. Practically
every new method of taxation sug-
gested has enough foes to prevent
adoption by both Houses of Congress.
The bond issue has been rejected
by President Harding, the revival of
the excess profits tax and nuisance
taxes have also been tabooed by Mr..
Harding.
And now the agricultural bloc is
fighting the sales tax on the ground
that it will increase cost of living to
everybody.
Under these circumstances Repre-
sentative John Phillips Hill of Mary
land, author of a bill to tax light
wines and beer, asks why not gather
in at least $500, 900, coo year by such
taxes and have more than eno"gh to
pay the soldier bonus?
THE American Legion has no OBJ
lection to any method that may be
proposed for raising revenue" said
John Thomas Taylor, Chairman of the
National Legislative Committee of the
American Legion, who is conducting
the fight for the bonus. 1--WE believe
the Senate and House committees are
sufficiently competent to find ways to
finance the bonus"
Speaking of the amounts which
could be raised by taxing light wines
and beer, Representative Hill told this
correspondent to-day that taking the
figures of 1914 on beer alone and i'm
posing a tax of 20 cents a gallon tho
total amount that would be raised
would be $4OS, 900, 900. II that was

lutely prohibited? At least $500, 900,
900 more taxes would be available
answered Mr.. Hill. This grand tota
of $6O8, 900, 900 that might be available
out of beer taxes is confirmed by
Treasury Department experts.
Most officials have no doubt that

a great hubbub among the customers.
When the clamor died away Jonnard

was forced at the plate and Jonnard
pulled himself out very nicely by fan
ming Reb Russell who batted for Barn
hart and played right field thereafter.
Carey Starts Things Again.
There was comparative peace on the
field until the fifth inning, when the
Pirates broke loose again. Carey led
off with another three bagger, this drive
travelling to the right field corner of
the Dreyfuss bailiwick. Bigbee and
Russell left Carey on third for the
former was tossed out by Jonnard and
the latter by Groh but Tierney brought
him in. Cotton hit to the end of the
bleachers In right center for three bases
and Carey ambled home.
In the eighth Russell. who had twice
been foiled by Jonnard. connected for a
three base blow to center Tierney then
delivered his home run, his fourth hit
of the fray. He smote the ball over the
left field fence into a parking space
for automobiles at the entrance to
Schenley Park, Russell jogging over
the rubber ahead of him. Two other
hits were made by the Pirates in this
inning, but they were wasted. Traynor
singled to center and was forced by
Grimm. Grimm died stealing and
Schmidt singled to center, but King
gathered in Cooper's liner.
To put the ninth inning in motion
Johnny Rawlings was ordered to hit for
Jonnard. He doubled to left and scored
when Bancroft singled to center. Just
when it appeared as though the Giants
might upset Cooper after all, Traynor
scared high in the air for a one hand
catch of Grob's liner and, coming to
earth again, whipped the ball across the
diamond to Grimm, completing a double
play on Bancroft, who had darted off
first base when the ball was hit. Frisch
marked the end of the game with a pop
foul to Grimm.

be used against the Pirates tomorrow

error. with some daring base running.
Jones weakened in the sixth inning and
