or. bottles and sells 1t. the tax Is on
the first manufacturer. If, however,
the dealer or second manufactures
subjects such beverages to further
process of manufacture. as by con-
verting it into some other kind of
beverage. the sale by him is also tax
able. The manufacturer is "the per-
son who prepares or produces liquid
in form suitable for consumption as
beverage" The manufacturer may
be the bother or the proprietor of a
soda fountain.
On Non-Cereal Soft Drinks.
The tax on soft drinks (other than
beverages derived from cereals) and
sold in closed containers Is 10 per
cent of the price for which sold. This
tax applies to unfermented grape
juice. ginger ale. root beer, pop. arti-
fetal mineral waters (carbonated or
not carbonated) and "other soft
drinks" The words "other soft
drinks" include apple juice, logan
berry juice, lime fruit juice and
other fruit juices. This tax is on
beverages containing less than one
half of one per cent alcohol.
The tax on natural or mineral table
waters sold in closed containers at
over ten cents a gallon is two cents
gallon. This tax is payable by the
bother or importer.
All of the taxes referred to are on
the actual sales price of the bever-
ages and not on the list price where
that price differs from the sales
price. If a manufacturer or other
vendor misrepresents the tax he is
guilty of misdemeanor and is
liable to a fine of $1,000 and i'm
prisonment for one year. This pro-
vision is designed, among other
things. to prevent a vendor adding
more than the amount of the tax to
the price of a beverage and repre-
senting that the increase is due to
the tax.
Monthly returns and payments of
the tax are required of manufacture
ers, bottlers. producers or Importers.

If Consumer Tries to Avoid Burden, In

fere-Provisions of New Law.

Patrons of soda fountains and soft
drink emporiums are still in some
doubt as to the excise tax. There
has been some discussion over
whether the patron must pay tax
on bottled goods. In most places the
consumer will probably be called upon
to pay more. but if he does not pay.
or If he INDUCES in any subterfuEe
to avoid paying. the internal revenue
office will not interfere.
The tax on the bottled goods is a
manufacturers tax ana corrected
from the bother. If the increased
cost is passed along to the consumer
he probably will have to pay; but
that is no concern of the internal
revenue office.
Under section $50 which applies to
bottled goods, the manufacturer
producer or importer is required TO
paw the tax, which is ten per cent

goods are sold.

Auditorium Principal Need.

The precise thing which has made
the acquisition of this section neces-
sary is the procuring of a site for an
auditorium. The sum of S2,500, 900
was provided for the purpose of con-
structing building which should
combine an auditorium capable of
holding larger body than the whole
number of midshipmen and accommo-
dations for the department of sea-
,nanship. No satisfactory site could

grounds for a building Of this size.
and much smaller building. for the
seamanship department only. now is
heing built.
IT had been proposed to erect the
combined structure on a site near the
basin and facing the Severn river.
The Fine Arts Commission inspected
the site. upon the request of Secre-
tary Daniels, and advised against it
on the ground that it would crowd
the other buildings too much and cut
off the water view from other parts
or the grounds The amount was dj-
Ntded and the construction of the sea
manship building started. while the
erection of the auditorium will have

can be secured.

BIG AUDITORIUM IN VIEW
Special Correspondence of The Star.


ANNAPOLIS, Md, May "a situ-
alton has arisen which will make 1t
necessary in a very short time for the
government of the United States to
begin proceedings to acquire a aNrect-
angular section. containing about 50,-
600 square yards. of the city of An
napolis, in order to add it to the
present Naval Academy grounds. This
section was intended to be included
in the boundaries of the Academy
" hen it was enlarged and rebuilt. be-
ginning in 1898. but it's acquisition
was postponed. The present academy
grounds bound it on three sides. and
there has been no doubt that ulti-
mately it would be acquired for the
purpose.
The situation now presented is that
the academy grounds have been en-
larged as much as practicable and
new ground made in all availa BILE di
rectionS, while additional ground is
needed for buildings which must be
erected. On the portions bounded by
the Severn river and Annapolis har-
bor the sea walls have been carried
into as deep water. as practical BILE,
and at the same time College creek.
to the north, has been narrowed as
far as the maintenance of the chan
mel will permit. The extension into
Annapolis is the only means of ac-
Quiring additional ground adjacent to
the present grounds.
