the recent act By congress impos.
ing a war tax on many lines Of

Mr., Graham's letter is as fol-
lows:
"The time is so limited and SO
little is known of the taxes impos-
ed by last congress, usually known
as the war tax, that I think it
would be well for all newspapers
in the country to call attention to

that they inform themselves at
once. All banks, brokers, com
mission merchants, theatres, NOV.
ing picture shows, billiard and
pool halls, dealers in tobacco,
chewing gum, cosmetics, etc., are
liable for the tax. These should
all be paid before Dec. Tst and
everybody liable should at ONCE
apply to the Collector of Internal
Revenue at Birmingham for blank
form II A and make remittance
for taxes due. But for the present
only eight-twelfths of year should
I be RENTED as soon as blank is
filled out showing kind of business.
This fractional part OF a year will
carry the taxes up to and including
the goth day of June, 1915, which
is the governments fiscal Yeal
