High Cost of Medicine

New tax legislation in Congress.
following Secretary of the Treasury
Melons plan to reduce taxes, will
be featured by fight to lower the
tax on industrial alcohol, used for
manufacturing medicines and for
other scientific purposes.
Although Secretary Mellon, in cit

should be reduced, no recommends.
ton was made concerning taxes on
alcohol used in medicinal prepare
tons.
Tax on Necessities.
Drug manufacturers are united
for a proposal to lower this class
Of taxes, or abolish them entirely,
as they hit directly at the sick,
upon manufactured commodities
that are primarily in the list Of
necessities.
The government now collects
about $2S,O00,0O0 annually from q
tax Of $2.20 gallon on alcohol for
Industrial purposes. OF this tax
&1.1O was imposed by Congress
under the revenue act of 1921, and
was regarded strictly as a war
measure.
Medicine manufacturers claim
there should be no tax whatever
upon alcohol used in medicinal
preparations. They not only are
concerned about lowering the tax
on alcohol used in the manufacture
OF their own proprietary medicines,
but believe the government should
remove the tax entirely from all
alcohol employed in the extraction
and preservation Of many Of the
ingredients used in medicine manu-
facture.
Medicine Cost Rises.
Leading drug manufacturing as
sociations Of the United States have
instructed their legislative repre-
sentatives in Washington to contend
for a reduction, or the abolition of
the industrial alcohol tax, on the
basis solely that the present tax
imposed serves to pyramid the ulti--
mate cost of medicines to the sick
and needy in times when they are
least able to bear sHch expense.
The contention is that this tax
a. passed along to the consumer
not only on proprietary medicines,
but practically all medicines used
In physicians prescriptions.

BILL WOULDFORCE
AUTO RECIPROCITY
WaryIand-D. c. Fight Again
to Be Brought Before
Congress.

With Mary1ands auto-tag barrier
against District autoists as a glaring
illustration. Representative James B.
Aswell of Louisiana has drafted a
bill which he will introduce in the
claims he has strong support, to COM
pei auto-tag reciprocity between all
the states As punitive clause Rep
hold federal aid for road building
from any state that discriminates
against the automobile tag issued in
another state.
The District has been patiently
long suffering in this matter" Rep
resentatives Aswell says, "and it is
time that Congress. with exclusive
jurisdiction over the National Capital,
should take action for relief of thou
sands of automobile owners, who are
literally being held-un to buy a Mary
land tag" He emphatically calls at
tention to the fact that hundreds of
District automobile owners who must
occasionally use some Maryland road
have to stand in line for hours to
get a Maryland tag because Of in
sufficient force of examiners.
Representative Aswell expresses
surprise that the traditional freedom
of intercourse which has characteriz-
ed the relationship of the states since
colonial days should thus be inter
rupted He said: ITO interfere with
Interstate commerce by placing un-
reasonable considerations upon an
another state is not in accord with
our national policy of allowing moth
ing to interfere with freedom of
movement between the states"

The Future

A few more years and we shall
see the heavens dark with planes :;
as numerous they'll doubtless be as
now are henry-wains; they'll soar,
in groups of fifty-three, along the
airy lanes. l find it hard to pick
my way along the village street /;
at every step a deadly dray or
chugging boat / meet; and speed
hends, seeking men to slay, pursue
me and repeat. Forevermore the
autos sweep along the thoroughfare.
and, as upon my way l creep, I feel
the need of prayer, and Now l lay
me down to sleep" l murmur, in
despair. And when at last | reach
my home I'm full of pain and ire.
and l am moist with sweat and
foam, and splashed with tar and
mire, too scared to write an uplift
pome, too tagged to paw my Tyre.
What will it be few years hence,
when airships whiz around, and in
the upper air are dense as fivvers
on the ground? l won't dare leave
my garden fence to seek the village
pound. How can l rubber overhead
and watch the pavement too, keep
tab on airships painted red, and
fivvers painted blue? Some cheap
balloon will knock me dead while
busses round me choo. This world
is getting far too swift, | cannot
make the pace; with dignity I'd like
to drift. but I must skip and chase
or some blamed henry-car will lift
my backbone through my face.

Jim is great hunter, possessing

sings songs that are both original

times.

Jack Henry and Edythe Maye have
a new act, entitled "A Fling Tangle,"
which merits the success achieved.
Henry is a comedian of originality.
while Miss Maye is good foil for
his fun and she dances well. Several
curtain calls rewarded their efforts.
George MacFarlane also has new
act, in which he sings popular airs.
and is assisted by Margaret Walker
in clever dances. Gertrude Barnes, a
newcomer, surprised the audience
with her original way of putting over
dialect songs. She took the house by

INQUEST TO END
AB|NG DEATH QUIZ
Widow and Friend Freed
When Analysis Shows No
Sign of Poison.

With Mrs. Adeline Eunice Abing and
Vincente Navarro freed from police
custody, an Inquest at the District
morgue today will write "finis" to the
Abing case, which occupied the atten-
tion Of authorities for four days fol-
lowing the receipt of an anonymous
letter charging the two mentioned
following the death of Cleto NJ. Abing
at his home, 1926 New York avenue,
on June 23.
The inquest is being held as a legal
formality. Mrs. Abing and Navarro
will appear as witnesses.
Police said today that so far as they
were concerned the case Is closed
with the report of District Chemist
DR.. T. NJ. Price yesterday showing no
traces of poison in the stomach and
vital organs of the dead man. A
pathological examination and micro
losis of the intestines was actually
the cause of death, as diagnosed by
DR.. Hornaday. who signed the death
certificate.
Just before leaving headquarters
yesterday afternoon Mrs. Abing ex-
pressed firm determination to seek
out and expose the writer of the
anonymous letter signed Juan de la
Crux," who had caused her so great
mental anguish by pointing finger
of suspicion toward her following
the death of her husband.
Mrs. Abing and Navarro had been
detained by the police three days on
the strength of the anonymous letter.
Mrs. Abing and Navarro will attend
the Inquest today as witnesses. In an
interview last night she protested her
love for her husband in sincere tones
and is apparently deeply affected at
the unfortunate fate that led to her
detention by police with its disagree
able publicity.
Police yesterday endeavored to get
a line on the writer of the letter.
