Show THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE, SUNDAY MORN IXC. APRIL AUTO EXCISE ! Pennies Saved Soon Mount Up On Navy Meals A few pennies make a big difference in figuring the cost of a sailor's meals. For the fiscal year 1928, the navy department estimated the cost of each man's ration at 55 cents. During the first two quarters, the men ware fed for between 51.7 and 52.9 cents. The annual saving at this rate will be $800,000. Bear Admiral Charles Morris says there hag been no reduction in the standard of the ration, either as to variety or quantity. Since 1908 there has been a steady increase in the cost of navy rations. In 1908 it was $.339, in 1918 $.485 and for the first two quarters of 1928 about $.529. lyASHINQTON PROVJNGBONE Million Car .Own ers Watching Fight Which Holds Congress.

Treasury officials and senators who think In terms similar, are equally Insistent upon Its retention. Treasury recommendations for a broader basis of federal taxation than contemplated by the revenue bill as it passed the house before Christmas are being met with something of the same spirit which bred the Boston tea party In the days of the colonists. The attitude of the treasury officials la not merely one that the automobile sales taxes offers a convenient form of collecting necessary revenue for the needs of the government. Fundamentally, these officials feel that the burden of taxstlon on the part of Uncle Sam has been shifted to too few shoul-de; , (AP).
