War Tax Affects
Theatre-Coers

Last Thursday the war taxes went
into effect, and also the government,
through licenses, will exercise super
vision over many of the food sup
plies. Ashland as we'll as everywhere
else in the United States is directly
affected by these taxes, although
probably not so noticeable as in the
larger manufacturing districts.
Moving picture shows are hit by
the new war tax. The law provides
a tax of one cent on each 10 cents
paid for a ticket, or fraction over.
At the Vining, where the regular adj
mission was Is cents, II cents will
be the future admission charge.
Every long distance call or telegram
costing more than Is cents will re-
quire the additional war tax Of a
nickel hereafter.
a Beginning November /, war tax
yevenue was placed on all passenger
tickets, whether for rail or water,
except for Communication season tick
cts on trips less than 80 miles, and
on tickets costing less than 95 cents.
The tax amounts to s per cent of the
price of the ticket. And there is a
10 per cent tax on special tickets.
This tax can not be borne by the
transportation lines, but must be
paid by the passenger at the time Of
buying the ticket. This tax will
make it cost 4S cents more to go
from Portland to Seattle and $3.50
more to 60 from Portland to San
Francisco.
Public utilities are subject to tax
of per cent on the business they
do.
Express companies must pay a
similar sum and there is war tax
of cent on each 20 cents of the ex-
press charges
All unused portions Of mileage
books and scrip must have the war
TAX of per cent paid on them be-
@Dre using for transportation, such
unused portions to be valued at "
cents a coupon or mile. Excess bag
gage also comes in for the same levy
as passenger fares and likewise
should be paid to ticket agents be-
fore boarding trains. Information
to this effect is going to all con-
ductors and ticket agents Of the rail-
ways following a ruling received
from headquarters. Collection Of 8
per cent taxes on all freight bills also
will be in order.

turning it over and breaking off one
of the wheels of Mr.. Eddings car.
Mr.. Eddings had stopped and was
talking to someone when the accident
occurred. The jitney, which turned

Will Stage Unique
Exhibit in Baker

Ninety-six war gardens in Baker,
Ore, produced crops worth $40 each,
average, at an average cost of $12
each. Prof. H. G. Seymour, state
club leader, says that this is about
typical of the work all over the state,
where a special leader was provided.
Hence many thousands of dollars
were cleared in the garden work, not
counting the increase obtained by
advising non-club members and in
ducing many adults to cultivate gar
dens.
