HOSPITALITY OF west
TAXES HIS ENDURANCE
Taft Asks That Dinners Be as
Simple as Possible

Washington. Sept. 2a.-The hospital
ky Of the West seems to be taxing
the endurance OF President Taft, espe-
cially as to the formal dinners which
have been arranged in his honor.
Some time before the president start
ed on his tour Of the West his score
tary, Mr.. Carpenter, wrote 20 each of
the committees having the subject IN
charge asking them to make the din.
ners which the president was to at
tend as simple In character and brief
as possible. Notwithstanding this In
junction the cities so far visited by
the president seem to have Wed with
each other In making the dinners as
elaborate as possible and tn some In.
stances have occupied two and three
and even four hours.
IN view of the length OF the presi.
dents trip and the large number of
dinners and receptions to which he
has been invited the president feels
that in Justice to himself the dinners
should be as simple and brief as the
occasions will permit and has asked
his secretary, Mr.. Carpenter, to again
ask to observe the original request
the various committees Of arrange
mepts In the cities which the preei
dent is still to visit.
The president has been very much
impressed with the unbounded hos
pitality of the West, but he feels that
his powers of endurance might be
taxed beyond the safety limits should
such hospitality continue unchecked
to the end of his Journey.

PLACING TAX ON
SOFT DRINKS
LOCAL DEALERS WILL BE HARD
HIT If MANSFIELD BILL BE-
COMES LAW OF LAND.

Local soft drink stand operators are
very much interested in the proposed
Mansfield bill now pending in the
legislature imposing tax upon places
of this kind
The bill provides that the tax on
soft drink stands shall be as follows:
In towns of $4,000 or more, $75 per
annum; in towns of 5000 or more,
40: in towns Of 1000 or more, SIS;
in all other places, So.
II IN b at the tax for Co
ldmbia dealers would be $4,000 per
an A. thero orc a number of
annum. In addition the city and coun-
ty may levy tax equal to that of the
State. Should this city and county
exercise that option the total tax
would be s120 year. AS there are a
number of soft drink emporiums here
the total tax would amount to several
hundred dollars.
