Treasury experts Working with the
Republican comnlitteemen estimate
that $400,000, a year will be raised by
the sales tax: $200.000,000 from the
Stock Exchange deals; $100,000,000
from a two percent tax on the part of
incomes excel-ding $5,000: and $50.-
000,000 by the 13 percent. increase on
tobacco taxes.
Committeemen declared that regard-
less of the form, the taxation ulti-
mately would be borne by the consum«
er. They estimated that. more than
‘70 exchanges. including Wall street,
the ngcago Board of Trade and the
New rleans Cotton Exchange, would
be affected by the tax on stock trans-
actions.
The exact levy on incomes had not
been fixed, but members of the com-
mittee believe now that the levy will
be fixed at 2 per cent. on the amount
of all incomes over $5,000.

Requiem Service
‘ Sung at Ferndale
J.
On Tuesday morning. the ”WNW?“
of April, a solemn mass of requiem
was Sung at St . Mary‘s seminary.
Ferndale. in memory of the sixteen
missionaries who met their tragic
death on the twelfth of January when
the steamer "L'Afrique" was wrecked
on the Bay of Biscay. The victims.
including one bishop. nine priests and
six lay-brothers. were on their way to
the fur coasts of Africa. The loss was
without precedent in the history of
the Congregation of the Holy Ghost.
without precedent even in the history
of Catholic missions.
Struggling with the. problems of an
after-war period. the society felt the
blow most keenly; but. the sorrow of
its members was greatly alleviated by
the testimonies of condolence that
poured in from every side. Distance
could not even diminish the feelings
of regret; and thus, the occasion com-
memorated at Ferndale drew a large
number of the priests of the Hartford
diocese testifying their sympathy
with the Fathers of the Holy Ghost.
The mass was sung by Very Rev.
Joseph Byrne, D. D., C. S. Sp., Superi‘
