manufacturers excise taxes, can
not be passed along directly in
cash demands on the ultimate
purchase.
For instance, if the manufac-
turer sells package of chewing
gum for 8 cents, the federal tax
would amount to six one hun
dred-thousandths of cent. Thus
what the manufacturers of chew
ing gum will do is either to abb
serb that 2 per cent tax, or reduce
the size of their sticks of gum.
THE 8 per cent tax on passen-
Il ger automobiles is similar.
This is applied to the price the
manufacturer gets for the auto.
Hence, an auto selling delivered
at your dealers for $500 would
not pay $18 federal tax, but per
cent Of the price the maker re-
ceived. But this tax, unlike sew
eral others, will be passed on di-
rectly to the ultimate purchaser,
because of its size.
Like these taxes, the new fed
eral tax on gasoline in most cases
can not be collected from con-
sumers Tuesday. because filling
stations everywhere in all prob
ability have stocks of motor fuel
in their tanks. This is a tax on
! a unit of quantity, has no rela-
ton to the price Of that quantity
and hence will be passed on.
But while you will not actually
start paying all of the new fed
eral taxes Tuesday, you will fee,
them all soon enough-from the
3 per cent you will pay on your
light bill, starting Tuesday, to the
higher income taxes you will
start paying next March Is.

WASHINGTON. June 2O.-A
prophecy by Edward F. McGrady
Of the American Federation OF
labor that, If relier is not afforded,
lit will bring cry to save the
government" next winter instead of
pleas TO help the needy, brought
applause today in a crowded senate
committee room.
THE President and congress must
realize that conditions are not going
to get better, but that they will get
worse" McGrady said in testifying
on relief legislation before the sem
ate manufacturers committee. Nc
Grady is the A. F. of I legislative
representative.
The senate, meanwhile, took up
the $2,000,0OO,000 Wagner construc-
ton relief program, with indication
that the measure would pass after
extended debate.
In his testimony, McGrady said
wages in New York were As per cent
OF normal, that the steel industry
was "85 per cent fat" and that cot
ton had reached the lowest price in
200 years"
The Rev. r. A. MacGowan of the

tee warned that IF congress ad-
journs without doing something to
aid unemployment they will come
back facing a greater catastrophe
than ever before"
Congress dare not adjourn with
out meeting this national catastro-
phe in an adequate and statesman
like manner" said DR.. Sidney E.
Goldstein of New York, chairman
of the executive committee of the

BONUS ARMY
OF $4,000 IS
GOAL OF DRIVE
More Than 200 Agents in
All Sections of U. S. Seek
to Start More MarcherS.
$4,000 NOW In CAPITAL
Threat to Form Third Party
Is Voiced by Groups
Leaders.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, June 20. - The
bonus army perfected an organiza-
ton today through which it hopes
to increase its ranks to $4,000 be-
fore July 4.
Leaders announced that between
200 and 800 agents are working in
all sections of the country in an
attempt to start more men on the
march to Washington. Most of the
agents are ex-service men, who
have volunteered to work in their
home towns.
From Ogden, Utah, came report
today that $4,000 men were NOV
ing out of west coast states toward
the capital.
Police estimated there aer $4,000
veterans in Washington, but army
leaders say they have $4,000.
The bonus expeditionary force
threatened today to support third
party or form new one, unless the
Democrats come out for immediate
payment of the $4,000, 900, 900 bonus.
UNLESS we find an acceptable can
didate in the Democratic party, we
shall throw our strength behind a
third party" the bonus army's legis-
lative committee warned. 1.-THE Re-
publican party is definitely out"
For Repeal Plank
The committee of the ennbattled
World war veterans dispatched tele-
grams to Democratic presidential
and vice-presidential candidates,
asking written expressions of their
views on the bonus and other vet
Grams legislation.
Harold Foulkrod of Philadelphia,
chairman of the committee, has
gone to Chicago to work for bonus
plank in the Democratic national
platform. Republicans rejected such
plank.
The committee began to formu-
late a general platform for the
veterans, including repeal of the
eighteenth amendment. 1t was
considered possible that Command
er-in-Ch Walter Waters might
rule out the prohibition issue, as
likely to detract from the fight for
the principal thing the veterans
want-the' bonus which congress
has refused to grant.
Remember November!
Waters sought the aid of all vet
Grams organizations in the bonus
army's campaign to defeat congress-
men and senators who voted against
the veterans payment.
He sent letters to every post of
the American Legion and the Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars. The letters
mentioned the refusal of the plat
form committee at the Republican
convention to consider a bonus
plank, and added:
Our suggestions were laughed
down and our proposals were filed
in the waste basket. Think it over,
veterans. Remember November!"

tragic obliteration of the Paul Har-
din family, when the father appar-
emily shot his wife and their four
small children to death, and then
turned the weapon on himself, was
revealed today.

the bodies.
A coroner's verdict declared Har-

BANKS PRODUCE
NONTAx CHECK
Slips to Be Used Only for
Personal Withdrawals.

Indianapolis bankers were divided
today in opinions on the new gen.
eral revenue bill placing 2-cent
tax on each check written by bank
depositors.
Preparations were begun last week
for adoption of nontaxable counter
checks which can be used by de-
poSitors making personal with
drawal of funds.
Advice today from the Office OF
the internal revenue collector in
terpreted the revenue bill as not
including such instruments, which
are nonnegotiable and take the
form of receipt, rather than an
order.
The new counter checks will make
their appearance Tuesday when the
law takes effect.
These checks can be caShed by
the signer only, and must not bear
the familiar words pay to the
order Of" or any similar language.
Several bank officials voiced tho
belief that the tax would result in
less prompt payment of bills, since
the payment would be deferred
until such time as the payer would
be in the vicinity of the store, and
could pay the bill personally by
cash.
Armored truck service is being
planned for the use of industrial
and and commercial establishments
wishing to pay employees in cash.
Postmaster Leslie D. Clancy called
to attention of the public the fact
that new postal rates enacted by
congress do not go into effect at
this time.

letters and other f1rst-class matter
will become effective July 6, as will

Use Upheld
Court Order Clears Way to
Abolish Stands on
Street.

Circuit Judge Harry o. Cham
berlin ruled today that the city may
abolish sidewalk city market stands
when he sustained a demurrer to a
suit brought by Shareholders and
the Housewives League, Inc.
This cleared way for enforcement
of safety board order abolishing
stands on Market street, from Della
ware to Alabama streets, to provide
for angle parking.
Enforcement of the order, which
was to be May 81, was delayed by
the court suit seeking to enjoin the
board from abolishing stands.
Chamberlin held that mo person,
or persons, not even sovereign
power, can asserte any vested rights
in public streets or sidewalks, once
dedicated to the public
He explained the question was
one of public convenience and
adaptability as well as legality.
Shareholders rights in regard to
stands we're described in the ruling
merely as "permissive rights and
not definite" or 'unassailable
rights"

Again, it is practically certain
that the chewing gum-or, for
that matter, the radio, mechanical

manufactured some time ago, and
sold to your dealer some time
ago.
Congress made it perfectly clear
why this is so. The revenue act
explains itself. Let's take the tax

GIBBONS FLAYS
SLASH IN FUND
FOR DEFENSE

NEW YORK, June 2 U.S0.
Floyd Gibbons, war correspondent
of Universal Service and Interna'
tional News Service last night,
voiced a stinging criticism of the
War Department appropriations
bill now pending before Congress
He spoke from station WEAF
over a National Broadcasting Com
pany network, under the auspices
of the National Security League.
In Grave Danger
Gibbons asserted that if the
proposal to drop 1000 officers
from the Army is accepted, the
United States is in "the most
grave danger" and added:
"Are we ready to say there is
never going to be another war?
Look at France with her army
Of 100000 and great air fleet;
look at Great Britain with the
greatest navy on earth. China
has 100000 mer in arms, and
there is Japan, armed to the
teeth. And just itching for a
fight"
Gibbons took a fling at gener-
Gus appropriations for the building
of post offices, printing of seed
catalogues and the mailing of
political speeches.
Like Santa Claus
Describing a recent visit to
West Point and Annapolis, he
said:
"When I looked at those fine
bodies of young men who were
graduated for the Army or the
Navy, / didn't have the heart
to tell them what was going
on in Washington.
"T couldn't tell them that
petty politicians are trying to
scrap the Navy and 'demOralize

that believing in Uncle Sam
is like believing in Santa Claus"
