TRIPLE TAXES ON
TOBACCO PRODUCTS.
Washington, August 2.—Heavy in
creases in the present war tax on to
bacco, cigars aiyl cigarettes were
agreed to today by the House Ways
and Means Committee as part of the
new $8,000,000,000 revenue bill. The
tax imposes three times the exist
ing rnt.es nn some items of the sched
ule and is expected to raise approx
imate $340,000,000 in comparison
with the present $168,000,000 r-evenue
from tobacco.
The committee has made substan
tial headway in its work and some of
its members predicted today that all
danger of delay in reporting to
bacco is over and that a total of $8,
000,000,000 will be provided for and
the bill in form to report when the
House reassembles on August 19. So
far, however, there is a large gap be
tween the total estimate from the
excess profits and income tax sec
tions and the $6,000,000,000 allotted
to those sections in the original plan.
The committee, accordingly went
back today to the income surtax par
agraphs and while there was no def
inite action, it was evident there
would be heavy increases in surtax
rates.
There was also some discussion of
two plans to super-impose a strictly
war profits tax, one of the plans be
ing for a complete supplemental tax,
every dollar of which would be addi
tional to the excess profits revenue,
and the other an alternative proposi
tion under which the treasury
would impose either the excess pro
fits tax or the war war profits tax
to be imposed being that which would
bring the larger revenue in each in
dividual case.
YOUR BOY AND MY BOY
Your boy and my boy
Are leaving home today,
For your sake and my sake
And millions far away;
With hearts light and hopes bright
They’re marching ’gainst the foe;
With eyes sad and thoughts sad
We watch them as they go,
Clean boys and brave boys, their
country’s strength and pride;
The boast, the toast, of patriot
souls through all our nation wide.
Your boy and my boy—
And o,h, we wish them well!
Your hope and my hope,
Loved more than tongue can tell;
Big hearts and stout hearts,
They’vfe heard their country’s call;
With new faith and true faith
They’re offering up their all.
Now loud cheers and proud cheers!
We’re glad for what they’ve done,
But oh! We want them back once
more, when victory is won.
