SIN coIIscilns The War Lax.


When still the American Tobacco
Compan! feel that It's has adequatel y
r.lmbursed itself for the TEN porary
war tax imposed some twelve years ago
during the Spanish-American war? AT
that time the two-ounce packages of
/ tobacco were promptly reducec by the
American Tobacco Company to one
aud two-thirds-ounce packages, which
were sold at the same price as the
larger packages, thus by singuIarly
simple device shifting from itself 10
the consumer the burden of this war
tax. OF course, all Of us who reflect
and are moderately informed know
that the consumer ultimately pays the
taxes, just as the foundation Of a
building bears the burden of the sup
eI structure. II Is also obvious that the
American Tobacco Com paDy, with its
practical monopoly, possesses an al
mos unlimited ability to increase its
profits. Substantially, it fixes the
price which it pays for tobacco, and
still more readily fixes the price at
which it will sell. But even the Ameri
can Tobacco Company must in some
sort recognize the force of public opin-
ion and therefore have some plausible
excuse foran arbitrary increase 10 price
The war tax supplied this The size
of the package was diminished while
the price remained the same. The
war tax, therefore, cost the tobacco
company nothing, and some ten or
twelve years after this tax levived by
the government was repealed, the
company still continues to collect it
from the consumer by the means of
smaller packages.
1t has not only reimbursed itself for
the taxes paid, but it has done so many
many times over; and it strikes us that
it is about time for the company to
quit collecting this war tax for its own
profit. 1t will hardy do so on its own
motion, but it is entirely competent
for the government to decline to issue
revenue stamps for one two-tbirds-
ounce packages Of tobacco, If the gov
ernment will cancel all such fractional
stamps and return to use of stamps
for mulliples of the pound, the pro-
liabilities are that the com pany viii be
compelled to sell two-ounce packages,
at what in now sells one and two
thirds-ouce, and be thus forced to quit
profting by the war tax that has been
repealed for ten or twelve years.
ROtherwise it would have to come out
IN the open and put up the price Of
these packages, which would tell the
public what it was doing. III pur-
chasers would then know precisely
what they are buying and what they
are paying for. 1t is high time that
this subterfuge was put an end to.

Who Can Guess?

Last Sundays New York Word
contained an interesting arti lie sent TO
that paper from Washington by one of
its regular correspondents. The cor
respondent dropped off one OF the early
morning trains coming East about
five o'clock coming from "Mr. Elkins
dominion and went to the nearest
saloon to get drink. AS soon as he
got in be sized up the place and was
sorry he was there for the surroun dipgs
were omnibus. He called for drink
He had to produce ten dollar bill
to pay for the drink and as the bar
tender counted out the change one of
several toughs who were lettering q.
round a table in the rear stepped up
and addressing tho bartender said:
say Bill, didn't we hear this guy ask
everybody to take drink?
Bill said he did not hear and then
the tough asked the stranger, "didn t
you ask us to have drink" The
man replied, "No."
The thug then went to the door and
and catching the top of the door drew
himself up three times Ginning the lin
tel.
" There he SAID, as he dropped to
the floor ard strobe ever to it. Hand
over the fivev
"W hat five?" asked the CORES pond
emit.
"Wby the five you bet me that l
couldn't chin myself three times,n
was the answer "Come across with
it!o
II didn't bet you anything" said
the correspondent, starting TO edge to-
ward the door.
'Hold on there" returned the thug,
blocl ing the way to the door.
"Rill, you heard this guy l.. AXE the
bet, and now he's trying to we!ch.
81 heard a lot of taikin," answered
the bartender.
"WelI, we heard him. chorused the
other two thugs.
New, you hear that?" said the lead
er. You come in here and make
lot OF talk and make a bet and lose.
When guy makes a bet in this
place and loses he settles, see! Come
across with the five-spotv'
The correspondent had been doing
some rapid thinking, and he did m ore
when the thug thrust his evil face in
to his with the final demand. He de-
cided he would be lucky to get away
at that price, handed over the five and
beat it for the door before the thug
had time TO bet him ten dollats that
he could stand on one foot while he
counted five.
7 his is matter which ought to in
vestigated. Every Woody, OR about every
body knows, or guesses pretty well
where this took place. There is an
ordinance requiring the saloons to close
at II O'clock and how this joint could
have been open at the hour of i've W it'll
band of habitues without the know
ledge of the officers Is matter which
we are unable to understand.
