V|RG|N|ANS DEFEAT
TAX ON COSMETICS
House Committee Votes 13
to 2 Against Measure After
Public Hearings.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


RICHMOND, Va, January 30.-Nir
g1nia will not impose a tax on COS
metics, perfumes, lipsticks and face
powders, that meean so much to the
fair sex. The bill to this purpose was
before the finance committee of the
House, and large numbers of women
interested in health and school work
druggists and dealers in novelties and
notions offered opposition. The com
mittee reported the measure adversely
by vote of 13 to 2. 1t aimed to raise
about 100000 a year. The law was
favored by Gov. Trinkle.
There is every reason to believe that
the legislature will put the same tax
on the moving picture that was re
Gently removed by the Federal Govern
ment-a tax of 10 per cent. Delegate
Norris of Lancaster remarked a few
days ago that while the Federal Gov
eminent has removed its tax the thea
ters are charging just the same now
as when the tax was collected.
Increase of Gas Tax.
Senator Woodson of Nelson has of
fered q bill which places the tax on
gasoline at cents. l cent more than
is proposed in the bill prepared at the
suggestion of GOv.-eieCt Byrd and now
pending in both branches Of the Legis-
lature. Senator WoOdSOn says that
his bill Will make up for the segrega-
ton of intangibles To the State. which
means a loss of some 750. 900 in the
revenues of the counties. and that l
cent of the proposed increase will go
to make up this shortage and the other
cent TO the highway fund.
The Increased tax on gasoline will
mean the taking of more than 81 .000,-
600 a year additional from the users
of cars. the present Scent tax yielding
considerably more than $500 900 at
this time.
Prohibition Forces Active.
Many bills have been presented in
both branches Of the Legislature
which are aimed at the modification
of the prohibition law or some of its
enforcement provisions. This has
been the custom since the law was
first enacted, and they are always
counted on by the prohibition forces
Of the State. Organizations identified
with the work Of the Anti-Saloon
League have been holding sessions.
When the Legislature made pro-
vision for the designation of a Special
Court of Appeals il provided that the
members of that court should receive
SO a day. They We're under the i'm
preston that the intention was to pay
IHetl lfldI Ice Tor the days they are
actually engaged in the work assigned
rs members of the special court. How
ever, the law says they are to receive
$40 Il day, and, in the absence of Ian
guage to restrict that to the time ac-
tually on duty, the attorney general
ruled that the compensation was to be
SO day for every day in the year.
Resolutions have been offered asking
the members Of the special court to
make refund. but that was defeated,
and the matter is still being discussed
by the lawmakers who passed the
meaS sure.

the Chautauqua representatives
that last years program was not
what it should have been, has been
promised that this years program
is the best they have on the circuit
A glance at the program, which
has been broadcast about Winslow
during the past week will show
that some of the highest talent
available is being offered, includ-
ing the Murriel Poor Duo, with
their organ chimes, DR.. E. ]. Pow
ell, noted lecturer, and The We
netian Strollers with their accor-
deon melodies and songs.
Then there is Sunshine Dietrich
in his character readings, but the
special attraction of Lucille ELL
more and company in stepping
Stones" now showing on Broadway,
is one of the main features offer
ing real high class play that
could not be available for Winslow
were it not for Chautauqua.
The DeKalb players in the play
ACROSS the Street" is said to be
almost equal to Stepping Stones"
in entertaining features. On the
last day, Wednesday the 14th, the
children will have their inning in
their Junior Town playground fes-
tival, while the Scott-Harper COM
pany will entertain on both after
noon and evening programs.
The local Chautauqua committee
of guarantors is confident that they
will put over Chautauqua if their
season ticket sales come up to ex-
pectations, even though up to this
time they have been disappointed
and in the final drive today and to-
morrow morning they hope to go
over the top, if the response from
the public is what they hope for.

The Legion's f1agpole for the
cemetery is now completed and it
will be set up in a few days. This
will now present a very attractive
appearance with the row of locust
trees, the pedestal with the Legion
emblem cast in one side, and the
flag pole.
The hospital committee has an
nounced that they have almost COM
pleted arrangements for May day
dance to be given at the Arcadia
Hall on the first day of May. This
will be strictly a benefit affair; the
proceeds to be used as a fund to
carry On the work of getting hos
pital for Winslow. A number of
special features are being arranged
for.
All ex-service men are again
cautioned that the time for rein
stating their government insurance
is rapidly drawing to close. This
insurance is cheaper than any that
the former service man will ever
be able to obtain again, therefore
he should take advantage Of this
last opportunity.

should be used for general debt re-
duction instead of being applied to
the retirement of special bonds, as
proposed in the Johnson-Swing
measure. "The treasury" Mr..
Winston pointed out, ''is given COM
plete fexibility in handling the fl
nancing by the United States of the
cost of the project"
The previous plan, embodying an
issue of bonds, was declared by
Secretary Mellon to be impractic-
able, and he was asked by the con-
gressional committee to supply an
other proposal for financing the
project. 1t has been pointed out
that, in submitting the plan, the
treasury department does not en-
dorse the Swing-Johnson measure,
or any other plan for developing
the Colorado river. The submis-
sion of the plan was in compliance
with desire of the bills sponsors,
and not an expression of the de-
partment in regard to the river
question.

get-together meeting is being ar
ranged, with several good speakers.
There will be a good spread prepar-

of the evening however, will be the
presentation of a Past Command

Arrangements have been almost
completed for the May Day dance.
This dance is to be given for the
benefit of the Winslow Hospital
fund, under the auspices of the
Legion. The Hospital committee
realizes that it will be necessary
to have some money to carry on
the work of obtaining a hospital

arranged for this dance to start the
fund.
The dance is to be given at the
Arcadia Hall and music will be
furnished by the Sociable Serenad-

COUNCIL TALKS
NEW CHARTER AT
FRIDAY MEETING
Continued from Page u


The advantages of new fire equip
ment, a high type of automotive en-
gine generating it's own water
pressure by means of a powerful
pump contained in the cars motor,
and hence not dependent upon
pressure in the mains, was discus
sed, but it was felt that the cost
was prohibitive, although the pro-
lection would be much greater.
The council decided that Winslow
will be represented at two conven-
tions in the state in the next few
months, and gas plant manager
Bert Steinert will be sent to at
tend the Western Gas Makers as
sociation meet at Tucson on the
18th and 18th of April, and fire
chief George Jackson will go to
Prescott to attend the meeting of
the Arizona Firemen's association
June 10th, 18th and 18th.
The proposition for extending
Second street through to the high
way on the east was declared off,
letter from ]. D. McCully, Santa
Fe superintendent. carrying the
news that it would be impossible
for the railroad to allow the neces
sary easment through it's property
at this time
An ordinance amending the orig
inal ordinance pertaining to side
walks was approved and will be
put in effect after publication. The
new ordinance, if enforced will
mean tremendous improvement to
Winslow. Under it's provisions, all
persons owning real property with
in the corporate limits of Wins1ow
will be requested to construct and
keep in repair, cement sidewalks,
and anyone not obeying the ordin-
ance, within 80 days of being no
titled to do so by the supervisor
of streets, will find the city hav-
ing the work done, and lien TAX
en- by the city against the party's
property in the amount of the ce-
ment contractors bill.
The other ordinance passed by
the council, extending the fire linn
its of the town, will be found on
another page of The Mail.
Following Tuesdays meeting, the
council recessed to meet again
Thursday, following the mass meet
ing bearing on the proposed new
charter.
