are printing the old editorials that
ten years ago were considered good
by liquor interests.
Politicians who have been fighting

show their hands before the general

Government War Tax Due, According
to the Collector.


Fraternities and sorOrities are in
vestigating the War Revenue Act
which went into effect in November,
which says that all social groups
shall pay 10 per cent of their dues
and initiation fees to the Government
if such are more than S12 annually.
One fraternity has paid the tax to
Berry Jacobs, deputy income tax COL
lector
The War Revenue Act went into
effect in November and the fraterni-
ties waited for a notification that they
were liable. No notice came and the
question was allowed to drop. Now
fraternities which initiated men in
November. December and January are
liable to a fine of SO to $1,000, ac-
cOrding to Mr.. Jacobs.
Most all of the fraternities have
initiation fees of more than $l2 and
the dues are usually higher than this.
Mr.. Jacobs says that all money which
does not go to the national fraternity
or for pins is liable to the tax. Tax
on limitations in February is due
