TOBACCO TAX UNDESIRABLE

ASSEMBLY bill No. 1889, providing for
n a selective sales tax on cigarettes and
tobacco, comes up for hearing in the as
sembly revenue and taxation committee
tomorrow. Based on the opinion of i'm
partial experts who have studied the BILL
it is to be hoped that it is killed in COM
mittee
A report of the interstate commission
on conflicting taxation, just released,
condemns the pyramiding of taxes by
the state and federal governments, as
would result if the bill is passed.
The commission, made up of represent
atives from numerous states, with Harry
B. Riley of Long Beach as California rep
resentative, has endorsement for its work
from President Roosevelt at the time he
was governor of New York, which should
be an indication of its standing
Regarding state taxes on tobacco, the
commission has this to say: Thirteen
states now have taxes on tobacco, and
many other states are seriously conSid-
ering levying such taxes. If the states
continue to impose additional levies on
tobacco products, the return to the fed
eral government from this source of rev.
enue will be further diminished. Since
any material increase in these taxes dur
ing a period of depression will decrease
the amount of tobacco consumed, such
increase will adversely affect the pro-
ducer as we'll as the manufacturer. Ac-
cordingly this commission recommends
that no additional tobacco taxes be adopt
ed by the states for revenue purposes"
As pointed out in this column prev
iously, state tobacco tax has been
found to be unsuccessful in the several
states where it has been adopted 1t does
not provide anything like the estimated
revenue, encourages 'bootlegging' of
cigarettes and tobacco, Injuries the man.
ufacturer and dealer in tobacco and in
California would necessitate the creation
of a large force of clerks and inspectors
to collect the taxes and ferret out vio-
lators of the law. 1t is doubtful that the
tax, if passed, would bring in much more
revenue than the amount required to en-
force it,
Tobacco dealers in particular would be
hard hit by tobacco tax. The bill, as
drawn, would force them to obtain an
annual permit for handling tobacco and
compel them to keep an account of all
sales, forwarding the tax due on their
sales to Sacramento, except in the case
of cigarettes. In this latter case they
would be forced to purchase stamps and
affix them to the packages.
The tax itself, of course, would be
passed on to the consumer. 1t would be
Just another tax for him-but can he
stand it? He is being taxed now every
way he turns, not excepting the cigar
cites and tobacco which he uses. The
federal government gets six cents for
every package of cigarettes and pro-
portionate sum on all tobacco.
This is a time for reducing taxes in
stead of increasing them, particularly
taxes that are going to hit the little
fellow" the hardest.

Jensen held the Bills to three hits last night and the Moose won their second successive victory in two days, trimming the Elks 8 to 4. Koski was hit safely but seven times but his support was ragged, faltering in the pinches.
 Blake usually one of the steadiest backstops in the circuit, presented the Moose with two or three runs and was far below form And the big Berthas of Koskis clan were silenced by the Moose hurler whose own wildness coupled by an in- field error, was responsible for most of the Elks scores.

Horrors Of Wa
Shown in Met
Picture

Forgotten Men" opened last
night at the Metropolitan Thea
ter, ushered in by q parade by
the Veterans Of Foreign Wars,
and attended by Army officials
and members of the Diplomaic
Corps.
After SO many films Of the
World War, which made the
strife appear more or less like a
holiday outing, to see the actual
horrors so glaringly exposed on
the screen is a distinct shock,
and not a pleasant one. The
picture was compiled from Off
cial governmental records, and
follows the main events Of the
struggle, on land, in the air and
on the sea.
Beginning with the assassina.
ton at Sarajevo and the German
invasion of Belgium, all of the
important battles are pictured,
startlingly comprehensive an
complete. The activities of the
various nations forces are shown,
each explained in part by mem
bers of their respective armies.
The sea exploits are also in
cluded, with many thrilling views
of "U'' boats and their destruc-
ton Of vessels.
Naturally, the scenes are some
times blurred, sometimes dark
and very disjointed, due to the
conditions under which they were
taken. The discourse which
accompanies the picture is COM
prehensive and explicit.
Whether Forgotten Men" is
really entertainment or not is a
question, but the scenes of the
war at its worse, the terrible ex-
amples of mems follies are
sights never to be forgotten. The
views of countless dead, destruc.
ton on every hand, the pitiless
desolation war creates and the

moves ponderously toward it's
forlorn finale.
In many respects the tragic
theme parallels Fannie Hurst's

tracted and craved her romantic
3avors.
Hard Luck Jenny
Senator Brander really loved
Jennie and despite the differ
ence in age proposed honorable
marriage. But a. railroad wreck
carried him off before he could
adjust their affair and Jennie
was left with a baby as a legacy
Of tender moments. Then she be-
comes a maid in the Kane fam
lily and the susceptible Lester
Kane soon falls victim to her
charms. Because of her secret
she is reluctant to accept his
proposals and their attachment
alienates his family. So Jennie
Gerhardt spends most of her life
as the unrecognized companion
Of the unhappy Mr.. Kane. Even
tually he goes up in the world,
marries within his own circle but
as in Back Street." the call of
his mistress is overpowering in
the end.
This sounds poignant and sor-
rowful indeed and it is. But
Sylvia Sidney despite Wistful
sadness failed completely to move
me. Not tear could I shed for
or with her. She doesn't grow
old convincingly and a paucity
of appealing dialogue makes her
more or less of lummox. Don
aid Cook does better as the un-
happy sweetheart with the best
acting contributed by Edward
Arnold as the Senator and
Greta Meyer as Jennie's aunt.
H. B. Warner, Mary Astor and
Louise Carter have the other
important parts.
Fine Stage Show
William and Joe Mandel, just
back from London, head the stage
show. A corking comedy aero
batic act. There is a bit Of
genuine class and some dandy
stepping in Ann Pritchard's dane

company.
I haven't hear Victor Herbert's

Sibley sings it in the act of
Demarest and Sibley, since FRITZ
Scheff was on the top rung of

price of admission is the sweet

they could do nothing with this

After a day of searching, the

And to do her credit, the lady

she was inconsolable. Then she
pulled herself together, visited

she engaged the most expen.
