THEATRE WAR TAX

Beginning with Thursday Novem-
ber 1st, a new war tax on theatre
tickets was levied and the Princess
Theatre following the mandates of
Uncle Sam collected the required tax
of one cent on each ten-cent admiS-
sion; children under II years of age
are admitted to the Princess Theatre
for five cents; Manager Caddell has
| communicated with the office of the
Collector of Internal Revenue at Tole-
do and acting under information from
| that office no tax is levied on five cent
admissions.
No advance is made in the usual
prices at the Princess to cover this
and other war taXs; patrons simply
pay this tax and nothing more, aside
from the regular price of admission,
Theatre proprietors have been pay
ing a special war tax for over two
years, according to the number OF
seats in their houses. Film manu-
facturers are required to pay wal
tax on every foot of film they make
and the studios pay another tax on
every foot of the finished product
These taxes are passed on to the
theatre managers in the form OF ad-
vanced prices for films; so the movie
manager is already paying three wal
taxes and has not raised his prices
When the movie patron pays the extra
l cent, 2 cents or 8 cents he does moi
pay to the theatre but to the govern
ment and when such patrons cut dowr
on their attendance at the theatres OF
account of the tax they reduce tht
amount of money which Uncle San
evnects. and which he has planned t(
use for our army, navy, coast defenses
etc. The tax schedule calls Tor
cent on each 10 cent ticket, z cents OF
each 15-cent ticket, 3 cents on eael
! 25-eent ticket,

4 SQUARE DEAL
Ohio Woman Suffrage Association Is
Asking a Square Deal From the
Voters of the State-Some Facts
About the Woman Suffrage Refer
endum-Party Pledges.

The last legislature gave women
the right to vote for presidential
electors. You are asked to take away
this right. You are asked to take it
away by referendum petition that is
proved to be full of forgery and fraud.
How is this proved? By the petit
tions themselves.
Under the present law only the
County Boards of Elections can ques-
ton the petitions in court. After
examination of the petitions by the
Ohio Woman Suffrage association the
boards of elections in many coun-
ties were asked to bring the petitions
into court. In only four counties did
they do this. Read what happened in
those counties:
The Cuyahoga county petition had
| 1908 names. The court threw out g.
$40.
| The Trumbull county petition had
584 names. The court threw out 251
The Scioto county petition had 99G
names. The court threw out all OF
them.
The Mahoning county petition hac
F779 names. The court threw out 469
The evidence was of forgery anc
perjured affidavits of names with false
addresses and names that could moi
be found in any directory or registra
ton list.
The same evidence is found in al
parts of the state. For example:
In Lucas county (Toledo) the Boarc
of Elections certified that 5,056 name:
were not on the registration lists, bu-
refused to report them to the court
Forty petitions have forged signature.
on them
In Montgomery county the chic
clerk Of the Board of Elections circu
lated seven petitions. He was notar.
to $50. Of these 81 have either altered
or forged affidavits; 36 petitions hav,
forged signatures on them.
In Hamilton county (Cincinnati) tn
Board of Elections admits that ther
are 2,7O0 names not on the registra
ton lists, but would not question
them in court. Fifty-five petition
have forged signatures on them; 2
petitions have signatures on affida
Wits either forged or altered.
In Franklin county (Columbus) 6
petitions were circulated by one mai
who also swore to petitions circulate
by him at the same time in thre
other counties. The dates of the sig
natures show that he could not hav
sworn truthfully. The Board of Elec
tions would not permit any names t
be questioned on forgery or perjur
evidence.
A hearing on the petitions as
whole was asked in Columbus, bu
could not be obtained. The evidenc

enough to throw out the petitions in
the whole state.
Who circulated these corrupt peti-
tions?
Examination of the petitions
shows that everywhere they were cir
culated largely by saloonkeepers, bar
tenders, employees of the Personal Lib
Ierty League and the breweries, and
men directly interested in maintaining
the liquor traffic. Eight tenths of the
petitions were circulated in this way.
These petitions were filed by the
association opposed to Woman Stuff
rage. which claims to have paid the
clrculators, though no woman circu-
lated petition.
The question may be asked. "Why
was the petition not thrown out ?"
this is the answer:
Because the courts and the Secre-
tary of State have not given us
hearing on the general petition. We
were given a hearing in only four
counties-Scioto, Trumbull, Mahoning
and Cuyahoga. Out of 1864 names
in these counties the courts threw out
1861 as being fraudulent. Similar
proportions would have been thrown
out in every county in the state if we
had been given hearing.
Do these pptteiions and be it said
Do these petitions represent the
people?
No! They represent a special in
terest.
Five hundred eighty-one petitions
were circulated by saloonkeepers and
bartenders.
Two hundred forty-six petitions
were circulated by employees of the
breweries, the Personal Liberty
League and by men closely allied with
the liquor interests.
This referendum is the work OF the
organized liquor ring. The people OF
Ohio did not ask for it.
Nearly one-quarter of all the names
were obtained in Cincinnati alone.
Circulators had to resort to fraud
and forgery to get the petitions filled
