Treasury experts estimate that there are 1,400,000 owners of auto mobiles subject to the $7.50 tax; 760, 000 subjecct to the $10 levy; 1,2109,000 in the $15 ehass and' 231,000 subject to .the $20 rate.

A modification to be drafted later vill provide a reduction of 10 per cent in the' license taxes for each year's use of automobiles up to five years, or a maximum allowance of 50 per cent. / Income Tax- Amendment. An amendment to the income tax sectiorn written into the bill today would repeal the provision of the Un derwood act of 1913, providing for collection of income taxes at their source, and require thoau receiving the taxable incomes to make a direct payment of taxes at the treasury. As a substitute for the present require ment of collection at the source the committee adopted a new principle of ,"information at the source"-requir ing corporations and others under heavy 'benalties to report to the Treasury Department the names of persons and amounts o fincome sub I ject to taxation. This plan, the com mittee believes, will prevent such eva sion, increase income tax revenues considerably and promote honesty of the law's operation and enforcement. 'Reports will be required on all in comes in excess of $800 annually. The committee will make no change in the income normal tax, surtax and exemptions of the House bill, except the elimination, previously agreed upon, of extra surtaxes on incomes of more than $40,000. On the theory of exemptions from taxation articles use dby the poor, the committee in changing cigar taxes 'decided to exempt from any tax in crease cigars made to sell for less than four cents each. Increases in taxes on cigars agreed upon were as follows: Upon cigars made to sell from four to seven cents each, $1 a thousand; those selling between seven and twelve and a half cents, $3 per thou sand; between twelve and a half and twenty cents, $5 per thousand, and over twenty cents, $7 per thousand. The House rates generally were about the same, but asked upon different standards. The committee also decided to re peal existing tariff provisions allow ing "drawbacks" to sugar renners. Senator Broussard, of Louisiana, urged the action. The change, it is said, will operate to benefit domestic sugar producers, and incidentally re duce federal revenues about $16,000, 000. The "drawbacks" are virtually repayments of customs duties to refin ers after they refine and export im ported raw sugar. 0 THE EVILS OF CONSTIPATION Constipation is -me of the main rea sons why the average human life is below 40 years.
