u. S. WAR TAXES
NOW I'M EFFECT
Affect Nearly Everything From ciga-
rettes to Movie ShoWs-AlI Must
Aid u S. in War

Washington, Nov. 2.-That America
is in the war and is in earnest is to
be brought home fcrcibly to every
American pocket book beginning today.
More fOrcefu Will be the impression
on many than the sight Of marching
troops, Liberty loan campaigns or pa
triOtic mass meetings. For everybody
Is going TO pay the war tax.
Here is q list Of taxes you will have
to pay:
One cent on each dime paid for
amusement admissions; 3 per cent on
payments for freight transportation !;
s per cent on passenger fares; 10 per
cent on payments for Pullman and sim
liar accommodations; one cent for
each 20 cents or fraction paid for ex-
press packages; five cents on each tel
egraph, telephone or radio message
costing - cents or more: per cent on
oil pipe line transit; various taxes
on cigars, cigarettes, tobacco and prod
uctS; 10 per cent on club dues; eight
cents on each 800 of new life inSur-
ance and one cent on each dollar Of
premiums paid on fire, marine, caSu-
atty and other insurance policies.
These are all aside from the taxes
which will accrue through the raising
of the postal rates going into effect
with letters postmarkCd November
.. All letters will then require 3 cents
for each ounce or fraction thereof and
all postal cards will be . cents. pri-
waite mailing cards. too, Will require ?
cents instead of !. The rates apply to
all countries with which the United
States formerly had postal relations
at the -cent-per-Ounce rate. The
rates for drop" letterS-Ietters to
be delivered from the same station
where they are posted--remuin at ?
cents.
Undoubtedly the tax to be the most
generally felt, aside from the Increased
postal rates, is the amusement tax.
All amusement places charging more
than cents admission will be required
to collect from the person admitted 1
cent for every dime or fraction of the
admission price. This will in turn be
collected by the government from the
amusement proprietor who is required
to make sworn returns to the treasury.
