WAR TAX adds TO

s Cents Added TO Price OF
Whiskey; $4 TO Go on
Beer
DEALERS MUST GET
MORE MONEY OR QUIT

The price Of drinks was advanced at
th Hotel dupont yesterday. the new
schedule becoming effective A o'clock
IN the morning. It will be continued
until further notice. Bar whiskey is now
costing 3 cents more than heretofore,
and for case goods an increase Of from
5 to 10 cents has been added to the
price. Cordlals and beer are the same,
but It is expected there may be an in
crease in the price Of them before long.
The liquor delears OF the city are
face TO face with one OF the most
serious problems they have had to
contend with for sometime. They
either have to increase the price of
drinks almost on the eve OF the
wet" and dry" election or they will
have to do business at a loss. This
was the assertion OF one Of the most
prominent dealers IN the city today
He pointed OUT the increase in the
tariff on liquors end showed that II
will host the dealers about twice as
much IN their taxes on the drinks as
Il does at the present time. and that
the tax on beer is going to mean an
increase Of about "a on the barrel. To
meet this increase the dealers say
they will have to make some increase
