WAR REVENUE TAX
ACT EXPIRES SOON
Conpresi Faces Task of Providing
Additional Income for the Gov
ernment at Once.
MEDICINES AJJD CHEWING GUM
fFrom a Rtaff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 19.
(Special.) Beyond question con
gress will have to provide some
means for ralslnc additional revenue
during the coming session. But for
the change In bookkeeping. In the
dally statement of available balances,
which makes a very good appearance
In the report of the treasury depart
ment, thla dally statement of avail
able funds will be preceded by the
minus sign on the first of January,
and on that date the war revenue
act goes ont of exlutenee by Its own
terms. When this occurs, should
there be no re-enactment.of that law,
there will be consternation among
the producers of sweet fortified
wines and patent medicines, for the
reason that brandy now used In those
industries Is taxed only 56 cents a
gallon, or one-half of the tax where
th product Is used for direct con
sumption. If the war revenue act
Is not re-enacted, brandy used for
fortifying and medicinal purposes
will immediately be subject to a tax
of $1.10 per gallon, and already the
wine growers and patent medicine
manufacturers are Industriously en
gaged In attempting to prevent the
repeal, at least of that section of
the law.
Tax on Medfelae Proposed.
It Is likely that congress will consider
It advisable to Impose a direct tax upon
all patent medlclnea as well as upon
denatured alchohol. A report recently
Issued by the health department of the
state of Indiana has received a great
deal of attention m the treasury depart
ment during th past few weeks because
It shows what an enormous profit there
Is In many of these patent medlclnea.
Th official publication of th Indiana
stat board of health Is headed "Medicine
Frauds" and Is the result of careful
analysis of tha contents of some hundred
or more proprietary articles and shows
not only ths contents of each but the
valu of tha Ingredients contained, and
th retail prices received. A few figures
taken at random Indicate how gullible
th publlo Is, and how easy it might be
to tax these preparations without Impos
ing any burden on the poor fools who
annually blow In millions of dollars under
th belief that they will be benefited.
On remedy for "tha
pllepsy" shows, upon chemical analysis, i
sixteen per osnt of sodium potassium
brotnid and ate per cent alchohol, and
trae of ammonia alerlate. The cost
of these Ingredients Is shown to be ten
cent, while the retail price of th "cure"
Is H.71. , A connection of sodium sulphate,
glycerin and water cos'ta the manufac
turer two cents and retails for one dpi
ta. "A reliable remedy for th treat
ment of th liquor habit," for which
th victim is taxed tl 00, contains a
large quantity of sugar, a trace of chlor
ide of gold and seventeen per cent of
chloride of ammonia, tha combined value
of which Is Stated as three cents. A little
powdered alum which sells for $1.00 and
costs ons cent Is guaranteed to "abso
lutely kill your rheumatism." One menu
facturer actually sells one-half cent's
worth of common salt under a mvatertous
name, which probably Induces the pur
chaser to neilev that be Is getting a
real remedy,
Th treasury officials will probably
recommend to congress that denatured al
cohol be taxed, largely because of the
fact that It Is used principally today In
th manufacture ef war materials and

All attempts to produce alcohol on the

come to naught thus far, for the reason
that the cost of manufacture Is so great
as to make It absolutely prohibitive. The
Department of Agriculture, for Instance,
without any reference to the fact that the

without the payment of the stipulated
government tax, spent $11,000 in building
a still and then made some experiments
to eee what could be done In the manu

upon his product. This manufacturer I
one of the biggest In the business, but
the American Chicle company, which is
a consolidation of a number of chewing
gum manufacturers. Is understood to do
even a larger buslnene than the concern
which pays ths federal treasury $410,000
per annum for the tax stamps on gum.
Ro that It la not surprising that Oblonel
Thompson In his address befor th Navy
league on Monday last should have stated
that the people of this country pay more
for chewing gum than they do for sup
porting the army. Schedule B, which is
the scheduls under which chewing gum
Is taxed, produces about ,.,000,000 a year,
and the estimate Is that ot this $2,600,000
at least and possibly $3,000,000, Is received
from the stamps that are -placed upon
boxes of chewing gum. If chewing gum
sells for 6 cents a package and each $1
worth thua aold pays the government a
revenue of 4 cents, the school children of
this country can probably figure out Just
how many million packages of Chewing
rum are consumed annually within the
United State. And. going further. It la
a nice problem for them to attempt to
ascertain approximately, at least how
much chicle la annually Imported from
