lETER TILE T[P-T1hERN

Mississippi now aspireS to recognition

islature has just passed a law dealing
with the tipping evil, and if any itching

who are cmancipated enough 10 believe
that the present tipping system IS a sad
peryerSiOn Of American Ideas Of equality
and reciprocity. Most Americans are
disposed to think that there is Just as
much reason why they should be- tipped
for patronizing Itels. restaurants, din
ing cars and sleeping cars as expected
10 offer tips TO those employed in such
institutions. But as the bookkeeping
which any reciprocal exchange Of that
sort would involve would be enormous
economy Of energy dictates q wiping
clean Of the existing slate. on which for
the vast majority there is all debit and
no credit
The new Mississippi law is simple and
specific 1t requires all prOprictors Of
places Of business where tipping now
prevails TO post ConspicuOusly copies Of
the statute imposing Il fine Of so on
every person who gives tip or receives
one and a fine Of 500 on every pro-
prietor who permits his employees to
solicit or receive gratuitics. With such
a law staring him In the face even the
most Overawed guest will take courage
and the hardest and most imperiOus
seeker after "trink-ged' will hesitate TO
practise his hypnotic allurements. Risk
ing $50 TO capture - or 30 cents will
hardly appeal TO the captains Of finance
who begin their careers by manipulating
dish trays and napkins.
If we had the Mississippi law here,
and everybody giving a tip in this city
to-day and everybody receiving one
should be fined $50 and the proprletors
on whose premises the exchange Oc-
Cured should he taxed 500 for each
offence, the municipality would have
within twenty-four hours ample funds
