Clifford Bergman
Honored by Senator's
On 18th Birthday

A luncheon in honor Of the 18th
birthday of Clifford K. Berryman
cartoonist for The Star for more
than 80 years, was rendered him
yesterday by q group of IL Sena-
tors in the private suite of Col
Edwin A. Halsey, secretary of the
Senate.
Mr.. Bergman, whose cartoons
sometimes jovial and sometimes
penetrating, have pictured the po-
litical history of the Senate for
several decades, was the subject OF
several ,toasts wishing him many
more years Of success and happi-
ness. Several were in verse.
The cartoonist will reach his 18th
birthday on Sunday, but the
luncheon was given three days in
advance because of the impending
adjournment of the Senate for the
Easter recess.
Halsey Reads Tribute.
Col. Halsey read tribute in verse
to Mr.. Berryman's famous Teddy
bear" which, after enumerating
bears OF various sorts, concluded:
But the Teddy bear with the
padded paw >-
"And the crafty eye that looked
and saw
"And appeared in the pictures
you were wont to draw
Sure packed a wallop with q
velvety paw.
'This Teddy bear is fine little
merry one
when drawn by the pen OF
G. K. Berryman"
Senator Barkley also toasted Mr..
Bergman in the following verse:
From the north, from the south,
From the west, from the east,
1--WE come bearing gifts to the
bright birthday feast.
ITO one who bares faults amid
jest and laughter,
Whose proddings and quips are
a joy ever after:
1--WE wish you long life and good
health through the years
With joys unadulterated by sor-
row or tears"
Find Empty Bottle.
Every one had a good laugh when
Mr.. Bergman removed the ribbon
and paper from a tremendous bot
tie presented to him on behalf of
his hosts by Senator Barkley and
found it absolutely empty.
1--we always been a poor cartoon
ist, Mr.. Bergman duipped. "and
suppose this bottle is symbolic of my
emptiness"
But after every one had enjoyed
q laugh, a number of presents were
produced. Among them was a
Teddy bear wearing a very abbre-
waited skirt, which Senator Barkley
explained was shortened by ration
ing.
The luncheon was attended by
Senators Byrd, Democrat, of Vir-
ginia; Barkley, Democrat. of Ken
tucky; McKellar, Democrat, of Ten
nessee; Gerry, Democrat, of Rhode
Island: Bailey, Democrat. Of North

New Excise Rates
Will Take Effect al
Midnight Tonight
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The American public tomorrow
will begin paying host of new ex-
else taxes, some graduated sharply
upward, to bolster the Treasurys
resources for meeting the cost of
the greatest war in history.
The new excise rates, ranging
from a skiold jump in cabare,
check levies to a $1-a-barrel in
crease on beer, will yield an esti-
mated 81 ,O00, 100000 or more year.
The balance of the additional
revenue comes from higher postal
rates that went into effect last Sum
day and from changes in individual
and corporation income taxes.
More than half the increased
take from excises will come from
sleeper liquor levies; a $9-a-gallon
impost on hard liquors compared
with the present $6 rate; the new
$8-a-barrel beer tax, and wine in
creases ranging from 33A to 100
per cent.
Otner LuxurleS Hit.
The rest comes from new rates
that will hike the cost of such lux
uries as fur coats, jewelry and club
memberships, make travelling more
expensive and send up bills on such
varied items as toilet goods, electric
light bulbs, telephone and telegraph
service and luggage.
And the definition of luggage
incidentally, has been broadened to
include not only trunks and suit
cases, but handbags, purses, wallets
and even key and pass cases.
An exception to the midnight eff
fective date of the new rates is the
80 per cent cabaret tax which goes
into effect at 10 am. tomorrow to
avoid complications that would arise
from trying to compute checks on
two tax bases.
Notification Methods Set.
The Office of Price Administration
specifies three methods by which
retailers may notify customers of
the amount of the 20 per cent Fed
eral excise tax.
In advertising, catalogues and on
sales slips and price tags, merchants
may:
l. Name a price exclusive of the
tax and specify the levy separately.
2. List price, including the tax,
and specify the percentage of tax
included, or
3. Post q general notice over a
group of items stating that all prices
listed include the new Federal levy.
Principal Changes.
Here In summary form are the
principal tax changes:
Admissions, old rate, / cent a
dime; new rate, l cent a nickel
Boxes, seats and ticket scalp
ers," old rate, II per cent; new rate,
20 per cent.

NO RATIONING OF FREEDOM

There are SO many definitions for
freedom. 1t is what you call an allur-
ing word-because it means all things
to all people.
Ask the small boy on spring day
and he'll answer you promptly, mo
school and the fish biting" Ask the
speculator, he'll say, "No restrictions
and quick market" Ask the die
tator and he'll say, "a fat neighbor
who will not struggle against my di-
vine right to take what l want"
Ask the pioneer and he will say,
"Uncluttered horizons and chance to
make my own way" Ask the idealist
and he will say, "a new world where
all may share of the bounties Of earth"
Ask the religious man and he will
say, "a life in which may worship
my God according to my own con-
science and obey His holy laws"
Why are there so many definitions ?
Because freedom is not static thing,
1t is not rule put way OF lie. IL is
an obligation. 1t is determined by our
relationship to other people. Only the
hermit can be free alone. Freedom in
civilized community is the way of
life that demands intelligent follow
ers.
Freedom does not include the right
to carry poison, to talk against our
neighbor, to judge him by his ances-
tors or his kindred Only by his COM
panions, may we ever condemn him.
Freedom carries with it belief in
the dignity and sacredness of every
human being. "For all-Jew and Gen
tile, White and Negro, rich and poor
