What's the reason of all these neo tares they're talk
ing about? -,
To pay the Soldiers Bonus that Congress is going
to grant.
Just achat tares are proposed?
The Republican members Of the House Ways and
Means Committee have prepared number Of meas
ures They propose to double the present 10 per cent
tax on amusement tickets.
don't like that Won't it empty the theaters!
Just about Then the Government will collect less
revenue than now. A lot of actors will be out OF
jobs.
Anything else?
Yes, they propose tax of 25 cents per horse
power on automobiles and 1 cent per gallon on
gasoline
don't like that WHAT'S the idea?
Search me. Then they want to make the tax on
stock and bond transfers five times as high as 1t is
today.
That's fine isn't it? Soak 'em.
It isn't quite so simple. The value of stocks and
bonds depends on their being readily salable This
tax will discourage purchasers and perhaps seriously
affect security values That will influence all bust
ness.
Anything else?
Yes they want to tax cigarettes and tobacco $685.

Temperance Board Not Dis
couraged by Refusal OF

Baked by the District Zoning
Commission in their move to erect
a 100000 building at the corner
of First street and Maryland ave-
nue. northeast, the temperance
board of the Methodist Episcopal
Church will meet next week and
move for a rehearing before the
District body.
Tho board is prepared to go for

but by a ruling Of the Zoning Com
mission last week limit OF fifty
five feet in height is placed on
buildings to be erected in the fu-
ture on Maryland aveaue. The
plans for the proposed structure
call for a building of six stories,
to be eighty.five feet high.
While Bishop William +. Nc
Dowell, head OF the board, was out
of the city because of i'll health.
and DR.. Clarence True Wilson,
general secretary, was on a speak
ing tour in the West. II is claimed
that the Zoning Commission took
action that would mean a COM

directly across Maryland avenue
from the site of the proposed new
church headquarters, are IS feet
high.
Officers OF the temperance board
made II clear today that they did not
regard the action of the Zoning Com
mission as an ordinary routine mat
ter. a canvass of the neighborhood
was made prior to the hearing on
the question of height in that area
and a strong protest was developed
against the erection OF the building.
It is planned TO make the pro-
posed new building Washington
headquarters for the Methodist
Episcopal Church. 1t would be the
office of the bishop and other
church officials.
Plans of the building provide for
an auditorium and number OF
apartments to be offered for rent
to members of Congress. The
building would have a frontage OF
$50 feet on Maryland avenue and
$50 feet on First street.
The site for the building was
purchased several years ago, but
the development was delayed by the
world war. Financing OF the prof.
ect has already been arranged.

PETITION TO CONGRESS FOR
ACTION ON SOLDIERS BONUS
WITH SALES TAX TOPAY IT

We respectfully petition Congress to pass the SOL
ders bonus act without further delay and also to levy
sales tax to obtain the money to pay the bonus, for
the following reasons:
FlRST-Public opinion throughout the United
States is undenably in favor of the soldiers bonus,
shown by the decisive ajority in every State in
which a popular referendum has been taken-in
Maine by to l; New jersey, 3Ka to !; New York,
nearly to L; Rhode Island, to Il Wisconsin, 3 to
Il Oregon, 2 to Il Washington, 21a to l; and so on.
sECoND--We believe that Congress- if permitted
to vote the solers bonus, will favor it with even
lar majority by which the people in twenty-five states
have already approved it; believe that the soldiers
bonus cannot and ought not to be defeated and that
the longer 1t is postponed the greater the injustice
THIRD-We believe the new tax scheme proposed
by the Ways and Means Committee is only little
less Objectionable than Secretary MELONS proposal for
threecent postage and for a three-cents-agalon
any soldiers bonus whatever and hope by linking it
with such new, destructive, and unpopular taxes to
kill the proposition altogether.
FOURTH-H the soldiers bonus is not only right
but inevitable and if the United States is not to lag
behind England, France, Italy, Canada and Australia,
which have already paid liberal soldiers bonuses, then
our payment is already long overdue not as debt
flor our debt to the soldiers can never be pad but
just tribute to the vaor and the sacrifice of the
men who won the war.
FIFTH-The only question that remains is: BY
what system of taxatons shall the money be raised?
Not by bond issues because it is against the tradi
tional policy of the United States to increase debt in
time of peace Not by any irritating unreasonable,
destructive tax individuals, business, industry,
because already have too many such taxes
small general sales tax will raise than enough to
pay the soldiers bonus it will bear heavily upon
one If the experience of Canada and our Philip
pine Islands, where the sales tax is in operation,
peated, the system will meet with such favor that it
will become one of the approved methods of raising
necessary after the soldiers bonus has been
paid

We Have Coddled Europe
Long Enough, Says Borah
Would Tell Her She Can Find
No Sympathy in United
GsoteS

CHICAGO, Sept. 3O.-Another great
war hangs over Europe, United States
Senator William E. Borah. Of Idaho de-
clared to-day in an address before the
Press Club of Chicago. He said the
situation was the result of imperialis-
tic policies and intrigue, and that he
was in favor Of telling England and
France that their policies were con-
demned by the conscience of the Chris
ton world and that. "you shall find no
sympathy or succor in this quarter Of
the globe"
eve are now deluged with state
ments by those who would have US put
our soldiers behind the imperialistic
policies of Europe" the Senator said.
Haven't we coddled Europe long
enough? Europe neds to be told the
facts and that is that she is the author
OF her own ruin"
After the World War, the Senator
charged, "the white race, the Christian
race, begin to shoot down and kill and
murder the people Of Syria and Meso-
potamia and Egypt and India and make
ready to exploit their oil fields and
their natural wealth. He declared it
was a 'story of treachery nowhere sur
passed in the historv of wars" after
promises of liberty and independence.

Wounded Veteran
With His Pushcart
Forced Off Market
Could Not Pay Fee and
His Appeal Is Ignored
by the Commissioners
Office and Mayor Hylan

Morris Josepowich, an ex-service
man, wounded in action, who has been
forced to earn a living from an East
Side pushcar, found that he could not
pay the dollar a week exacted from
pushcart vendors by the Department
of Markets. He was sorely troubled.
Pat Murray, the supervisor of
the Avenue C market, where Josepo-
wich had his fruit stand, insisted on
his tax. but the peddler could not pay.
Pm sick, and I got a wife and two
children to support and I can't give you
the money" pleaded the veteran. "Say,
dollar is whole lot to me, it means
bread and butter for week. Let it
go for little while. Maybe, I'll be
able to give it to you when do little
business"
The supervisor, however, insisted on
his fee and Josepowich was forced to
take his cart from the market. He
decided in desperation to appeal to
Commissioner of Markets O OMalley, for
temporary exemption from the weekly
tax. Arriving at the Commissioners
ONCE at o'clock yesterday morning,
he was told that the Commissioner was
not in. Another man, however, came
out of the Commissioners office and
representing himself as taking Mr..
O'Malley's place." asked the peddler
what he could do for him. Josepowich
related his troubles and pleaded to be
permitted to continue at his stand
without paying the dollar week fee
until he was in position to do so.
You'll have to have the money!"
Josepowich said Mr.. O'Malleys rep
resentative advised him "Go out and
hit some one on the head, steal dol
lar some where" he waved Josepowich
out Of the office.
Can y ou think of it, they wouldn't
mind If l held up somebody to get
the dollar from them," commented fhe
peddler plaintively in relating the
story to a reporter for The Tribune.
They need the money badly. Some
body needs another automobile. I
guess. 1t don't make no difference to
them If go hungry for few DAYS. or
my family needs something"
Josepowich had not given up hone.
altogether however, and thought that
an appeal to the Mayor might do some
good. He had already taken his
troubles to United States Senator
Calder, who had given him letter to
the Mayor, in which he pointed out
that Josepowich should be heard out
