JAIL FACED BY
PRICE BOOSTERS
Dealer Can't Add Tax on
His Goods If Not Paid.

By Scripps-HotcGrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, July 8.-Mer-
chants selling goods taxable under
federal law may fix their own
prices, but if they raise prices on
the basis of federal taxes they
actually have not paid, they are
liable to punishment by fine or i'm
prisonment, or both.
The internal revenue bureau made
this clear in a formal warning to-
day. 1t cited provision in the
next tax law, which reads that such
offender shall be guilty of a mis-
demeanor and upon conviction
thereof shall be punished by a fine
of not more than $1,000 or by i'm
prisonment not exceeding one year"
The bureau also points out that
under Sec. 1923 it is a criminal
offense for a dealer who increases
the price of merchandise in his
hands on June 81, 1892, in order to
take advantage of the competitive
situation arising out of the i'm
position of taxes under the revenue
act of 1882, to represent falsely in
any way that the increase is due
to a tax paid on the merchandise.

Millions Can Be Saved by
Consultations, Authors
of Bills Say.

Way is paved for saving of mil

two bills introduced in state senate

hackers of the measures.
These bills provide ian easy
method of bringing about consolida-

presenting them.
Taxpayers and not merely poll

said.
In consultations of counties,
either entire counties or parts Of
counties can merge into new and

Program Is Drafted
Although Thomas will be ap-
proved, the league probably will not
commit itself to the Socialist party
platform, although it conforms in
some respects with the four-year
presidential plan of the league.
This plan, drawn by the league
with the assistance of 100 leading
economists and experts on govern
ment, embodies a progressive pro-
gram on unemployment, taxation,
tariff, public utilities, agriculture, in
ternational relations, banking, and
social legislation.
On power, key plank, the
leagues plan of action calls for gov
eminent operation on Muscle
Shoals, public ownership and opera

tiles, and control of coal, oil, and
railroads in the public interest and
looking forward to eventual public
ownership.

TARRYTOWN, N. Y, July g.
Il John D. Rockefeller Sr. got
up at 7 this morning, ate a hearty
breakfast, and hurried out for
nine holes of golf, disregarding
the fact that it was his ninety
third birthday.
He said he expected to live to
be 100 years old, anyway, and
couldn't see any reason for max
ing fuss over his birthday.
Rockefeller takes his game too
seriously, and gets too much fun
out of it to let anything upset
his daily routine.
He usually does the private
course here on his Pocantico Hills
estate in 40, sometimes a 4S. And
lot of youngsters of so or so
could pick up few pointers from
him.
The aged Millionaire exhibits on
the golf course two of the traits
which made him one of the
wealthiest men in the world
persistence and frugality.
Ills time is reputed to be worth
$1,000 a minute, but he doesn't
mind spending $4,000 or $4,000
worth of that time hunting for
75-cent golf ball.
He wears long trousers of slate
gray instead of the customary
plus fours, and a double breasted
coat of loosely woven brown ma
terial that does not hamper the
swing of his clubs. His cap is
made of the coat material. Ordi-
nary russell shoes take the place
of regulation golf shoes.
Rockefeller is frugal even in his
golf shots. He often combines
different holes in play in such a
way as to save sixty yards or so
of walking, and few minutes
time.
His driving is a study in slow
motion. The caddy sets the ball
on a little red tee. Rockefeller
steps up briskly, takes his stance,
then looks up at the point at
which he is aiming. His friendly
blue-gray eyes. set rather well
apart, take in the scene from be-
hind glasses.
TIE grasps his driver with mus
Il Il cular, brown hands. His
deeply Lined face, bronzed from
everyday golfing, is as marble.
Slowly, very slowly, he draws
back the driver with the sole of
the club just scraping the grass.
The driver barely glides in long
up-curve. When it reaches the
top of thet arc there seems to be
momentary pause, then he
drives off with a clean sweep that
sends the ball sailing $50 yards
down the fairWay.
Rockefeller plays each stroke
as carefully as if it were the only
stroke in the game.
If he slices or hooks one, he
almost is certain to observe that
one of the beauties of golf is that
one can recover from a bad shot
In the strokes to come.
Or else he criticises himself for
raising his head too soon.
At the end of nine holes he al
ways is tempted to continue for a
few more holes. But he always
resiSts.
by limiting my play, I always
find it interesting, and it never
becomes tiresome," he explained.
Golf is good for all men if they
play it in moderation. Moderation
pays-in golf and everything"
After lunch, Rockefeller was to
take his usual nap until about
p. m. when he will go motoring.
There will be a birthday at
p. m. at which John D. Rockefeller
Jr. will preside. Mrs. John D.
Rockefeller Jr. and her children,
and other members of the immedi-
ate family, will be at the table.
Afterward there will be an or
gan recital and the 93-year odd
Rockefeller will go to bed, as
usual, at 9 p. m.
