bought by a retailer will cost him SIS
cents more than formerly. for the manu-
facturer will not pay IL himself. In view
OF this fact the dealers Of Seattle have
formed an agreement to sell, after the law
goes into effect. scent packages Of cigar
cites for 10 cents. or three for quarter,
retaining the same price for goods which
originally sold for 10 cents. This Will have
two effects: II will cause some cigarette
smokers 70 drop the habit, and Others TO
buy the better grade OF mails" II is
possible that dissatisfaction on the part
Of consumers may drive the manufactur-
ers to 10 away with packages Of ten. and
pack the slender smokes twenty IN a. box,
which the dealers can then sell for Is
cents. This, however, is problema,ical.
AS nearly as can be estimated ioo00)0
cigarettes are consumed In Seattle In one
month. or 1900. coo in the course of year.
Under the new bin this means a war reye-

stock and surplus. will net the government
from Seattle $3.50 yearly. The vice presi-
dent Of the Equitable Life, of New York.
In a communication to District Manager
Waterhouse of Seattle. has this to say of
the tax:
Such q tax as the one now imposed, by
cutting into the standard premium, might
endanger the safety Of some companies.
Premiums are matter of contract and
cannot be changed on any existing policies.
The merchant. the manufacturer, the
banker, may raise'his price lists commits
sion charges. etc, in accordance with
changed conditions, but the life premium
is a sum ascertained for each age by a
mathemarc formula ba-rd on mortality
experience; to diminish 1t Arbitrarily may
have dangerous results. yet the company
has no power to increase the premiums on
any of its outstanding business in order to
make up any such deficiency"
It Is understood that strong effort was
made by Mr.. Waterhouse. through infuen-
tlal policy holders and the congressman
from this state, 10 bring the companys
view Of the bin before congress. but with
out result.

however these latter ones are few in num-

Beer and the FrOth Of II.
Next to tea, the heaviest tax falls upon

This tax has now been increased 70 double
thu amount. 80 that for each barrel OF the
frothy beverage that goes trickling down
the thirsty throats OF the dweliers within

treasury OF the United States. and Spain
Will be that much nearer her inevitable
end. Only legitimate differences are TO be
drawn from this conclusion. however. for
Il is only one way of putting it. II is- es-
timated that In one year Seattle drinks
5000 barrels of beer anu 5000 barrels or
whisky. This means total yearly reve-
nue. 10 the United States Of 1872 go, one
half OF which comes under the war rsve-

They can scarcely increase the price per
glass in proportion. because nothing less

them. then. either 10 pay the extra 81 per
barrel out OF their own pockets (Which
they are exceedingly likely 10 io), Or 10
elevate the bottom of the whisky glass
and draw the beer with a stand-up collar.
These latter pleasantries constitute the
most feasible solution OF the problem.
