Wilmington Saloon Keep
ers Will Not Pay the
Government Tax.

Unless the Diamond State Brewery
Company, tho Hartmann and Fehrenoach
Company and j. A. Lengel pay tho 81
beer tax levied by tho Government for
war purposes the product of their respcc-
tive plants will have shorter consump-
tiop here The Retail Liquor Dealers As
ISOLATION yesterday afternoon decided thas
they would not pay 1t nor the 10 cents al.
ditlonal charge made By bottlers on soft"
drinks, and II the brewers and bottlers
insist they will be boyco.ted and Philadel-
phia beer sold.
The increase in the price OF the bevGr-
ages was to have gone into effect today but
the actionof yesterday acts as sort of stay to
the intention. Saloon men arg ued agains Sc
paying the tax inasmnch as they arv al
ready paying IS barrel for beer which is
s. SO more than the best Philadelphia pro.
duct costs.
They say the business has become slow
by reason OF the war and their sales have
been so few that license money, i'll many
cases, could hardly BIO raised Because Of
these conditions they say the the brewers
should pay the tax and their action Is i'm
evidence that they propose they shall.
While the tax is iegi innate one the So
loon keepers say 1t is unjust when they
are made to pay 1t, inasmuch us they al
ready pay 1857 90 for the annual privilege
OF conducting the business. Or this
amount 1926 Is received by the state asa
direct revenue, $500 for the general license
and SIS for tho ''growler." Beside this
tho saloon keeper pays the government u
tax of S2,; the state $3.50 for papers nece; j.
sary to the application. and IS for news
paper publication.
TO these figures the saloonkeepers add IS
which they spend in treating signeTs OF ap-
pllcutiOns. This amount, however, they
do not include in the general amount.
This morning the brewers had not re-
ceved the resolution adopted by the sa-
loon men, and although 1t was intinated
by one that they would insist OIL The re =
taller paying the tax it ia altogether prob
able hat they will bear the tax
Tho resolution is signed by hut seven 'y-
eight saloon keepers which is not half the
number doing business here, but many
others have expressed them owes in fnvor
of it. There are u few, however. who are
owned by the brewers, and who will not
join in the movement. Definite action on
The part Of the brewers will b. announced

amusement, good and bod, put On trial
today and judge Of them by certain car
dinal principles. First, you may judge of
any amusement by its hcalthful result or
by its baneful reaction. There are people
who seem made up Of hard facts. They
are a combination of multiplication tables
and statistics. II you show them IN ex-
quisitc picture, they will begin to discuss
the pigments involved in the coloring. II
you show them u beautiful rose, they will
submit it to botanical analysis, which il
only the post norton examination of q
flower. They never do anything moro
than fecbly smile There are no great
tides of feeling surging up from the depth
of their soul in billow after billow of TO-
vcrbrrating laughter. They seem as II
nature had built them by contract and
made bungling job out Of it. But,
blessed be God, there are people in the
world who have bright faces and whose
life is a song, an anthem, pecan of vic
tory Even their troubles are like tho
vines that crawl up the side of great
tower on the topo of which the sunlight sits
and the soft airs Of summer hold perpetual
carnival. They arc the people you like to
have come to your house. They IRE the
people I like TO have come to my house.
Now, 1t Is these cShilarant and sympathetic
and warm hearted people that are most
tempted to rCrnicious amusements. In
proportion rs q ship is swift it wants q
strong helmsman, in proportion rs horse
10 gay 1t wants strong driver, and these
people Of e1uberant nature will do well to
look at the reaction Of all their alnuse,
