boy dies from injuries.
V. F. Faldwell of Bradford has the
sympathy of our people in the death
of his fourteen year old son, who
met a horrible death Friday after
noon late by being run over by a
Missouri-Pacific freight train in
that town. The boy, with others,
tried to hop the freight and in doing
so fell partly under the train, mang
ling one of his limbs, until it was be
yond saving, although the father
boarded a train for Newport in a
short while, bringing his son here
for aid from our local physeians. His
suffering was pitiful but everything
was done that could be done, but
death came to relieve him at 6:30
this morning at the Claridge hotel
where the father had carried him,
The body will be sent to the home al
Bradford tonight by Hayden & Hol
loway for burial Sunday afternoon.

WILL CUT WAR TAX
ON SOME LUXURIES.
Washington, Nov. 22.—Reductions
aggregating $500,000,000 in the yield
from the new war revenue bill were
made today by the senate finance
committee in revising the measure
downward to the $6,000,000,000 total
for 1919, proposed by Secretary Mc
Adoo. The decrease was confined
principally to the tobacco, luxury,
semi-luxurv and other snecial and
excise articles.
Among the more important decis
ions today was elimination of the
luxury schedule proposed in the
house bill, levying 20 per cent on
costly artcles of clothing and other
merchandise and estimated to raise
house tax of two cents a gallon on
gasoline, estimated to yield $40,000,
400; reduction from 10 to 5 per cent
or about $200,000,000 in revenue in
rates on many articles classed as
semi-luxuries, and a reduction of
about one-half in the house rates on
tobacco, a cut of about $54,000,000 in
revenue.
The committee deferred decision on
the plan suggested by Secretary Mc
Adoo and specifically presented yes
terday* by Chairman Simmons for
incorporating in the measure specific
rates for 1920 taxation, by which the
total revenue yield would be limited
to $4,000,000,000. Republican mem
bers still vigorously oppose legisla
tion for 1920 and the committee de
cided to pass that question temporar
ily. Tomorrow it will resume revis
ion of the miscellaneous taxes with a
view to cutting of another $500,000,
000 necessary to reduce the whole to
$6,000,000,000.

To Our Customers
The above chart was prepared from the statistics furnished
by the United States Government.
Isn’t it surprising to you how small your electric light and
water bill is, as compared with the other expenses, and what a
little bit it will mean to you for these bills to be increased to the
amount we are asking for * & && tfc'&itfcd 1 III
We want it understood that the increase is not permanent,
* but necessary to tide us over the present emergency, during ^
which, our operating expenses are substantially greater than our /“ . (
income. With normal conditions, it will naturally bring about a
decrease in the operation of light and water plants, and customers
can expect, and will receive corresponding decrease in the price
of water and electricity. — .... ... . *
