HOUSE VOTES WAR TAXES ON PEOPLE IN RECORD TIME Revenue Schedules Adopted i at Rate of $37,909,000 a Minute Washington, Sept. 19.—The House imposed taxation upon the people of the United States to the aggregate extent of $4,549,150,000 within two hours' time yesterday. This was at the approximate rate of $37,909,tf00 a minute, and is the fastest record ever made by either branch of Con gress in the direction of revenue raising. Included in the big items approved during the two hours of record breaking performance were: $3,200,000,000 from the excess profits tax. $110,000,000 from the estate tax. $164,000,000 from taxes on trans portation, freight, express, scats and berths. . $16,000,000 from pipe lines, tele phones and telegraph messages. $12,000,000 from insurance. Feverish'expedition was manifest ed in connection with consideration of the big revenue measure. The clerks forged ahead at every oppor tunity and the tirst reading of the bill virtually was completed before ad journment last night. Chairman Kit chin and other leaders confidently predict that the bill will be passed not later than to-morrow afternoon. Every effort will be made toward ac complishing that result. The tight on cotton, steel products and other combatted features not in the bill will come to-day. The para graph levying a ten per cent, tax on "tapestries and textiles for furniture coverings or hanging in the interior decoration of buildings" will be the tirst peg on which to hang a tax onj cotton. Moore Stirs Southern Ire Mr. Moore, of Pennsylvania, will propose a tax of three dollars per bale on all cotton used in the manu facture of these tapestries and tex tiles. If successful he will offer the same amendment as applicable to bathing suits, hunting garments and all articles of clothing appearing in the bill. The explftsion of a hornet's nest would not have occasioned more ex citement ttfan Mr. Moore's announce ment. Members from the Southern states poured into the hall in readi ness to stem the threatened tide. Some shouted for immediate action. One cried that nothing must be "left hanging over that will hammer down the cotton market further." The business, or occupational .li cense tax of $lO proved a stumbling block, because of confusion over its application, and it was determined to consider having the section re drafted to-day. Representative Rob bins. of Pennsylvania, said it would apply to ministers, authors, school teachers and the like, but Represen tatives Garner and Dongsworth, of the Ways and Means Committee, ife clarcd it would not apply to salaried persons hut only firms, such as law partnerships, advertising, dental con cerns and the like. ifci' proposed federal license tax to: automobiles, ranging from $5 to $5O annually, according to horse power, was sharply attacked, but fin ally approved. Representative Tread way declared the horsepower stand ard illogical, in conflict with state standards and arbitrary, and urged that value instead of horsepower be made the basis.

It has found a following of those who for years have found it pays exceptionally well to be on the lookout for Green price cards on Fridays. There are also those who find it a decided advantage to be on hand bright and early on Friday morning. In most instances, these Friday bargains are odds and ends-—remnants and discontinued lines of merchandise.

For can ning 8,000 pounds of sugar was used.] The amount used for canning this time of year is usually at least equal to the amount used for other pur poses, according to tlgures recently compiled by the food administration. The reason for the shortage in canning products is said to be that when fruits and berries were cheap, sugar was not relaesed to grocers, so that 'householders could use it for canning. Now when the sugar is re leased, fruit costs so much that it is almost impossible for ordinary householders to buy it in sufficient quantities for canning, it is said. DR.
