THEATER TAX IS
 IN EFFECT NOW

According to the foregoing section of the national taxation law, on and after today all theaters must collect q tax of l cent for each 10 cents of ad- mission. charged. This tax also applies in case of a fraction of 10 cents, that is, if the admission fee which is charged is II cents the tax would be ? cents, whereas if it is but 10 cents the tax is but 1 cent. Thus a 25cent admission requires a Scent tax and not a 2 1-2 cent one as many have thought.
 Some theaters will collect the tax directly. as the law presupposes they are to, while others will raise admis sion fees and take care of the tax that way. If the law is strictly compiled with. when you go to the box office to buy a 10-cent ticket today an ex- tra penny will be demanded of you and so on, as the admission fee in creases in size.

FRED BLUES VIEWS
ON THE YOST LAW
Makes Recommendation for
Making 1t More Eff
fective.

CHARLESTON, Jan. S-As a result
OF his experiences as Prohibition Com
missioner, Fred o. Blue in his bien-
NAL report to Governor Hatfield in
sists that to make State wide prohibit
ton effective, 1t is necessary to close
the avenues whereby the bootlegger
obtains his supply. The Prohibition
Commissioner holds that the phrase
"for personal use" is the palladium
of the Illicit retailer and that 1t is
the defense Of the bootlegger in the
attempted enforcement of the prohib.
itory laws of the State. Condeming
the use of the phrase in the impota-
ton of intoxicants Commissioner Blue
recommends a number of amend
ments to the prohibition statute, the
first of which is to make the posses
sion of intoxicating liquors unlawful
at any place except the bona fide
home of the possessor
Another amendment proposed by
Commissioner Blue would make any
automobile or vehicle used in the trans
portation Of intoxicants of more than
the maximum quantity fixed by law a
public nuisance, while another amend.
ment proposed would limit the maxi.
mum quantity to such an amount that
liquors could not be brought into the
State for Commercial purposes. Com.
missioner Blue also recommends the
enactment of law that would provide
for the ousting of municipal officers
