PAPERS MUST PAY TAX
ON ALL ADVERTISEMENTS
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 4.—
The Senate Finance Committee cut
down on the newspaper advertising
tax by two per cent, but even this
will meet with opposition. Accord
ing to the Senate finance cmmittee’s
amendment all newspapers, periodi
cals etc must pay two per cent ot
the advertising to the government.
WASHINGTON, D. C.. June 4.—
The Senate Finance Committee has
resolved to place a tax on the ma
nufacturing of distilled spirits so as
to practically make the manufacture
of ardent spirits an Impossibility.
They will place a tax of five dol
lars a gallon on all booze made
from molasses, syrup or their sub
stitutes and five dollars to twenty
dollars upon every bushel of grain
or other eatable product going in to
the manufacture of ardent spirits
In addition for every gallon Of mol
asses or sugar or surup used in mak
ing spirits five dollars tax must be
paid. This practically wiper the
making of all booze of this kind
out of the question.
The act has bIbo added a clause
whereby the importation of any
spiritous liquors, brandies, gin, rum,
whiskey, or their blends or mix
tures, liqueurs, cordials, or anything
of the nature of ardent spirits is
prohibited.
The brewing of beer is unaffected
by the Senators, but the distillers
are so sore that they are ready to
throw all their strength in an effort
to give the brewers the same dose
and it is likely the House will take
care of them.

mittee and the ride walk complaint
to the Street Committee. Some
councilman objected to the manner
in which the Chamber was butting
in, and intimated that if the city
council could not look after this
business itself it has better turn
itself out of office. The communi
cation was thereupon ordered placed
on file.
Jere Collins made a complaint re
lative to the dogs of Victor Ander
son which he said were a nuisance.
His wife was a confirmed invalid
and very nervous and the constant
nightly howling of these animals
in a lot close by where they were
confined made sleep impossible
with very bad results. He had
been unable to obtain any satisfac
tion and therefore brought the
nuisance before the council for ac
tion.
Considerable discusion in sym
pathy with Collins followed. At
torney Hobbes said that the city
could not enter on the premises
and abate the; nuisance but that tbo
only recourse was to take out an
injunction order from the District
Court summarily ordering its abate
ment. Finally teh Mayor said he
thought that the matter could be
reached by ether means and lie,
would take under consideration
what Mr. Collins had said. Mr.
Collins thanked the Mayor and
withdrew.
Councilman M’Allister reported
that Chas Reed had offered $15 for
the unused muffler, but the Fire
Committee thought that insuffici
ent.
Councilman O'Farrell said that
the Dry creek bridge was sagging
in the center bents some ten inches
or a foot. As Cap Anson was about
to move his boat down and would
remove these bents action could not
be taken until this had been done.
A resolution was passed prevent
ing any official incurring liability
for the city except approved by all
members. Another required all
eouncilmen to submit monthly esti
mates of expenditures during the
month and that the expenditures
I be kept within that esti
mate. Yet another resolution re
quired a notice to be inserted in the
newspapers notifying all property
owners that the city ordinance re
quire that they keep the side walks
abutting their property in good con
dition.
M’Allister brought up the matter
of heating the Fire Department and
city and said that they best could
do it themselves and more cheaply
by buying a boiler and making
their own steam. The matter was
i deferred for a week or so.
The request of the school board
for an appropriation of $1300 was
granted. The clerk stated that the
board had conducted the school at
an expense somewhere in the neigh
borhood of $911 less than the
budget agreed to, at the beginning
of the preceding council. The school
treasurer’s bonds were set at $5000,
■duly approved, and council then
adjourned.

REPUBLICANS GAIN ONE
UNITED STATES SENATE
PORTLAND, Ore, May 30.—To
fill the unexpired term of Senator
Harry Lane who died recently, the
governor lost no time in appointing
C. L. M’Nary, a republican. Lane’s
term expired 1919, and the appoint
ment of M’Nary decreased the admi
strative support by one vote. Lane
has supported the government lo
yally except in the matter of the
refused to authorize the arming of
American ships and later opposed
the declaration of a state of war ex
isting with Germany. The strain of
having to endure the most scourg
ing criticism from the wealthier
press in the country has been severe
and both Cummins and Lane have
broken down under it, the former
war Dili wnen ne witn twelve otners recovering, me latter succumbing.
EFFORTS TO SECURE JURY
MOONEY CASE DEADLOCKED
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. June 4.—
All efforts to secure a jury today
failed and none of the panelnien
examined qualified, all having been
prejudiced one way or another. The
jury selection appears to he dead
locked and so far only eight per
manent jurors have been secured.
Another venire will be necessary.
The difficulty is heightened by
the fact that the verdict in this case
will be likely to seriously affect
the District Attorney’s office and
for that reason all want to fight shy
of the responsibility of considering
the Oxtnan and other testimony
and are evidently anxious to get
off the case.
The deadlock will probably be
broken tomorrow.
