I/1'" 4ru*» • Washington, Oct. 3.--A manufacturrmr sales tax of S per cent was formally proposed to the senate by Senator Smoot (Hep., Utah). Senator Smoot explained that this would be In substitution for "all of die various war taxes, the excise taxes, luxury taxes, stamp taxes, capital stock tax, transportation, telegraph and insurance taxes; the tax on soft drinks. Ice cream, cosmetics, admission and dues and all of the other '57 varieties' of obnoxious, discriminatory forms of taxation," which Would be repealed on next January 1 VDder a series of amendments to tbe . -Mvemie revision bill offered by tbe senator. - Repeal of tbe excees profits tax as at last January 1 instead of next January 1, as planned by both the house and the senate finance committee, also was proposed by Mr. Smoot. Under his amendments the corporation Income tax would remain at 10 per cent, but there would be up change in the present tobacco* liquor and inheritance Jftxea. V The sales tax amendment reads: •f- ; "That in addition to all other taxes Were shall be levied, assessed, collectad and paid upon every commodity manufactured, or produced, when sold, leased or licensed for consumption or use without further process of manufacture, a tax equivalent to 3 per cent of the price for which such commodity Is sold, leased or licensed; Mich tax to be paid by the manufacturer or producer." • "It should be noted," said Senator ' flmoot, "that as the tax is Imposed only when articles are sold for consemption or use without further process of manufacture' the tax will be noncumulative in effect and will give the Integrated business no advan- • --tSge over the disintegrated business. "There will be but one tax. If a , Qtanmodity is sold for consumption or use in a further process of manufhcture no tax will be imposed. For ttample, crude oil sold for fuel would fee taxable, but if sold to a refinery for the making of gasoline or like Commodities would not be taxable. "In order to avoid administrative difficulties with small sales, the bill provides for an exemption of all sales •f less than $6,000 during one year, this will practically exempt all agri- Itural products, but as most agrl- Itural products would find their .-"Way into manufactured products, they i^^ould be exempt, anyway. \ "Provision is made for ^ like tax Spon similar imported commodities IV'* *- ' • Ho that there can be no discrimination fife-' *" Against American products. - "The yield of this tax has been J-tv Carefully estimated and approved by ®ne °' foremost economists in the I/' ,-' V; •ountry, Prof. Charles J.

AFTER "FATTY" Liquor Charge May Be FiM Against Arbuckle. B. H. McCormack, Special Assistant to Attorney General, to Make Complaint Against Comedian. San Francisco, Cal., Oct. 3.--New angles in the federal inquiry Into the source of the liquor consumed at the party In the Hotel St Francis, given by Roscoe ("Fatty") Arbuckle, film comedy star, at which Miss Virginia Rappe, Chicago screen actress, is declared to have suffered fatal injury, were to the fore today. In some quarters interest in possible action concerning Arbuckle by a federal grand jury overshadowed that In the charges of manslaughter already laid against him in connection with Miss Rappe's death. Robert. H. McCormack, special assistant to the attorney general of the United States, announced that he shortly would make complaint against Arbuckle on the chargexof having liquor unlawfully In his possession. Such a complali^ could be made the basis of grand jury action. There was much speculation as to the identity of two other men who Mr. McCormack said, would be charged jointly with Arbuckle. One of them, the federal attorney stated, was a prominent San Francisco business man who had been present at tbe Arbuckle party for a few minutes. Los Angeles, Cal., Oct. 3.--"Fatty** Arbuckle passed the night at his home here with his family. It was his first day of liberty at home since charges were made against him in connection with the death of Miss Rappe. v*'.'

GERMANY 0, K.'S PEACE PACT Conference to Ask Help From Mayors of Largs Cities--Local Agencies ,Needed to 8tay Skintf^ Hoover Says. V" "'s, ' Washington, Oct. 5,--Advisability of a federal bond Issue to create a ft|Bd for making loans to aid municipal publie works in years of depression when Jobs are scarce is under consideration by subcommittees of the national conference on unemployment. Such a proposal has been suggested to the conference as part of a plan for" permanent safeguards against bad years for the nation's workers. No estimate of how many millions of dollars would be required for such a fund has been made as yet. The plan constitutes one of the recommendations of the conference advisory committee. Loans to municipalities would be made by the federal government under the plan only upon proof of national unemployment and industrial depressions, as shown by Industrial and unemployment statistics and upon proof of the soundness and utility of specific public works proposed. Steps have been taken by city officials of Boston and Cleveland to put Into effect the emergency relief program adopted last week by the conference, Secretary Hoover -announced, adding that he had been Informed unofficially that Portland, Oregon and Milwaukee were working along the same lines. The conference will aric the bankers of th£ nation and mayors of all cities to back the emergency program to check unemployment planned by the conference. Secretary Hoover said. Henry E. Robinson, a member of the conference, has gone to Los Angeles to plead with the American Bankers' association, In convention there. "Employers and business men, relief organizations, state and federal agencies, cannot surround the unemployment problem systematically until mayors have established strong emergency organizations with municipalities behind them," Secretary Hoover said. "The President's conference on unemployment is anxious to know what steps are taken in the various cities and towns, and to have the views of officials for farther constructive plans." Definite measures to solve the transportation problem will be taken up by the transportation committee, it was officially announced. The committee Is working on a plan and consulting with railroad executives for approval. The proposed $500,000,000 rdMroad refund Is part ol the plan. It Is known, however, that W. S. Carter, president 'of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and chairman of the committee, Intends to continue his efforts to block a recommendation of payment of this refund unless a specific provision is Included that the railroads spend the money for maintenance and repair. Carter succeeded In preventing such a recommendation being Included In the emergency program adopted by the conference. Edgar E. Clark, chairman of the Interstate commerce commission, and member of the transportation committee, is said to support Cttrter In hU demand.
