.ET READY TO PAY
. FROM TODAY ON

The War Revenue Act becomes
operative the minute the Presi-
dent afflxes his signature to the
bill, according to Acting Internal
Revenue Collector tombstone, and
Immediately the new tax sched-
ules come into effect.
The bill may be signed today at
the White House. 1t certainly
will be signed within a compara-
lively few hours, whereupon.
warns Collector tombstone, any
dealer in alcoholic mixtures or to-
bacco who makes a single sale
without having first completely
inventoried his stock, becomes
liable to all the penalties OF the
act. !. &#,,..a
NO BUSINESS ALLOWED
His instructions are, he states,
to put the excise features of the
bill into effect Immediately upon
notification of its being signed.
The tax will not be collected at
once on liquor and tobacco stocks,
but the stocks must be inven-
toried before any business is
transacted, as the tax will be
levied upon the stock on hand
when the President signs. "
The taxes upon movie tickets,
representing ten per cent OF the
gross, will probably have to be
met by the theaters, unless the
arrangements decide to boost the
prices nickel all around to meet
the average two and a half cents
government share. but railroad
tickets and such will certainly adj
vance the amount OF the tax.
ANOTHER STAMP, PLEASE
The first thing that will hit the
public generally will be the neces-
Nity OF sticking an extra one-cent
stamp on every letter and every
postcard mailed, and this three
cent letter rate will probably be
effective from tonight on. 49,. ..
The bill goes to the President
today and then the public will
know, through reminders on every
hand in the shape OF tax Stamps
and little extra charges, that the
| United States has war on its
hands.
