LIQUOR ON APPROVAL
HOLDS AGENT LIABLE
Under Internal Revenue Ruling,
Dealer in Dry Territory Must
Pay Tax.

A stiff blow at tho mail order and ex-
press liquor business Of the country was
struck by Acting Commissioner OF In
ternal Revenue Gates in a Treasury de-
cision holding that dealers shipping
whisky on trial or approval. are sub
1ect to tax liability as dealers at the
place where the patron accepts the
liquor.
ruling sales on approval are made In
the dry territory to which the whisky
is shipped. For illustration. IL a liquor
dealer in Washington. shipped. or ex-
pressed a quart of whisky to Montgom-
cry county, dry territory. for accept
made in Montgomery county, and the
dealer would be liable for tax as deal
er in Montgomery county.
1t is suggested by the commissioner,
however. that such complications can be
avoided by stopping advertisements Of
sales on approval. The decision is as
follows:
'The attention Of this office has been
directed to the Advertisements Of num-
erous whisky houses offering to ship, on
order, whisky. and. II upon trial. the
same is not satisfactory. 1t may be re-
turned and the money refunded to the
IN the opinion of this office. these
terms constitute merely a conditional
agreement which does not become A
binding sale until the consignee ex-
amines and accepts the goods. and then
constitutes q sale at the place Of such
acceptance.
I'm order to avoid assertion Of special
tax liability as liquor dealer at the var
ious places where such acceptances oc-
cur, all such advertisements should be
modified SO as to eliminate this feature.

ROADS PLAN TO
ASSESS HIGHER RATE
Traffic Experts See Opportunity
Under "FuII Valuation Act"
Recently Passed.

Traffic experts say that the railroa ds
will attempt to take advantage Of the
recent legislation enacted by Congress
to bring about an increase OF 10 per
cent in ratss. The new legislation.
known as the full valuation act"
makes 1t unlawful for a railroad to re-
strict its liability in case Of loss or
damage to shipments. 1t was urged by
Senator Cummins In the Senate and by
Congressman Towner in the House at
the instance Of Western livestock ship
pers who were denied the right to re-
cover full value for their stock.
1t was initimated in some OF the hear
ings on tho railroad side that under
their published tariffs the railroads may
not accept goods under the uniform bill
Of ladins. but will assess the 10 per
cert higher rates which the tariffs pre-
scribe in case Of unlimited liability.
While II Is regaroed as possible that
the railroads may attempt this. there Is
little likelihood the Interstate Com
merce Commission would permit 1t.
Judge Towner. who had much to do
with the new law, does not take serious
ly the threat to increase the rates. He
says that IL the railroads had really be-
lieved they could get 10 per cent in
crease through the new law they would
have supported 1t instead OF fighting It
An interesting controversy is likely to
arise.

EARS ARE IN STYLE AGAIN.
LIFT UP YOUR HAIR

The new style Of lifting the hair from
the ears looks much nicer II the hair is
soft so it drapes around the ears rather
than being pulled up In straight. hard
lines To get the best effect In any
style of hairdressing. every strand must
be duffy. lustrous. and. Of course. clean.
In washing the hair 1t Is not advisable
to use a makeshift. but always use
preparation made for shampooing only.
You can enjoy the best that Is known
for about cents a shampoo by getting
a package Of canthrox from your drug
gist dissolve a teaspoonful In a cup
Of hot water and your shampoo is
ready. After its use the hair dries
rapidly, with uniform color. Dandruff,
excess oil. and dirt are dissolved and
entirely disappear. Your hair will be
so fluffy that 1t will look much heavier
than it is. Its lustre and softness will
also delight you, while the stimulated
scalp gains the health which insures
hair growth.-Advt

per cent q month is added. Returns
Of personal property must be made in

made by Ben l.. Prince. Collector Of

what shall be done about paying the
lessees for these investments, which
are still useful? Beyond that. there is
the big Inquiry. which the department
authorities insist shall be discussed,
wheher it is desirable to have develop
ment pushed any farther.
It is pointed out that the price OF
crude oil which not long ago was up
to $Lo6 is now as low as IS cents the
barrel and the very pointed inquiry is
suggested In important quarters whether
the prices have been artificially depress-
ed because this lease-renewal was COM
ing up for consideration In order to get
the cheapest possible terms on 1t. This
is not the least aspect Of the whole mat
ter In the minds of the mid-continent
oil men, among whom the tremendous
drop in oil prices has caused great suf-
fering and depression.
The independents, or good many OF
Them insist that the old leases should
not be renewed. but that there should
be an opening OF the whole business to
a competitive bidding. probably With re;
lessee. 1t has been declared that on
this competitive basis the Indians would
get SIC, 900, 600 more In royalties.

.SEAMEN'S ACT HITS
ONLY MINOR TREATIES
President Tells Callers Legisla.
ton Will Not Conflict With
important Pacts.

No commercial treaty between. the
United States and any power with
which this country trades most exten-
sively, 10 in conflict with the seamen's
act passed BY the last session OF Con-
gress, according to ~ statement Presi-
dent Wilson made today 10 callers.
Dis cussing the report submitted TO
him by the state Department. concern
ing the treaties with which the new
legislation will conflict. the President
stated the only question raised con-
cerned the provision prohibiting the ar
rest Of sailors who might desert their
ships in American ports.
Germany and England, he stated, both
agreed in the safety y-at-sea conference
in London, in 1918. to the provision In
the act regarding lifeboats. and recog-
nized the right OF the United States to
impose even created safeguards Tor
vessels touching American ports.
Inasmuch as the act will apply to all
ships, foreign and American. touching
American ports. the President charac.
terized as absurd the report that some
Of the vessels recently transferred to
American registry would restore their
former flags.
He indicated steps were already under
way To serve notice on the nations
whose treaties with this country will
have to be changed.

The story of London's Broadway goes
like this:
When Sir James Barrie wrote the one
act war skit Der Tag" which has the
Kaiser for one Of its characters. he
planned to have the German ruler I'm
personated to the life. But, to the as
tonishment Of theatergoers. the actor
who played the Kaiser wore no mus
tache and evidently dressed as far away
from the Kaiser part as he possibly
could. Most of the critics wrote against
the piece and most Of them criticised
the "Kaiser's' makeup.
And then the truth came out; The
censor. who is a member of the King S
household. wouldn't allow the Kaiser To
tc caricatured on the stage. Theater
felix's don't say why the censor took
this stand But they understood.
War Is war. but ROYALTY Is royalty,
and majesty Is majesty. and the whole
king business is cheapened when one
ruler allows his subjects to make fun
of another ruler. And there you are.
And then there's the additional fact
that both King George and the Kaiser
used to sit on Queen Victoria's knee and
call her grandmother"
