NEWSBOYS AVOID SODA TAX
BY USING D. c. SIDEWALKS
Fountain Owners Cannot Collect Imposts I'm
less Refreshments Are Consumed in
Building-Law May Be Revised

Newsboys and war workers have
discovered a way to save the penny
luxury revenue tax on lcmonades
and ice cream sodas purchased this
summer.
Beginning the first day the order
was effective. they asked to take
their beverages outside the build
ing where soft drinks are served.
The soda fountain proprietor said he
was powerless to prevent this move
and neither could he charge the rev.
enue tax on luxury dishes SO or
dered.
This stand is one OF chain ~
soda water fountains conducted in
cigar stores in the city where ap-
proximately 10000 Washingtonians
are daily served taxable beverages.
il may be expected. he statcG. tina.
the general public will follow the
example of the newsboys and the
war workers as soon as the ruling
is understood.
LAW Not Clear.
That this might lead to the drink
ing of beverages on the sidewalks
of Washington, similar to the Paris
custom, he was not prepared to
state. He felt, however. that many
Washingtonians will thus save their
pennies.
There is also a great deal of con-
fusion in regard to an understand
ing of the law. At some of the foun-
tains ginger ale, buttermilk and
sweet milk bear no tax. but matted
milk. plain and in varied forms, is
taxed.
All ice cream purchased over the
counter, to be eaten within the build
ing without. carries with il the reve-
nue. fee. but ice-cream sold In cartons
bears no luxury tax. At other places
matted milk has SO far escaped the
ban and is sold at the old price.
The meaning OF compound drinks
is not clearly understood. Whether
this applies to bottled drinks or only
those of carbonated or syrup COM
pounds has not been decided.
1t is also possible to save pennies
in another way. Some charge the tax
rate against each individual of a party
who is served. Others compute the
|, amount against the total purchase
The Washington herald., 1919-05-05

made. II two people pay individual
taxes on cent and on a Is cent
order. the tax amounts to 3 cents.
But IL the checks were totalIed. the
fee would be two cents on the same
order.
This is the charge schedule hanging
in several fountains:
Purchase of &c l0c l5c 30c &c 3Oc 35c 40c
Taxation -. lc 1c &c &C Sc &c &c &c
Several of the large confectionery
stores complain that il is impossible
for the same staff of cashiers to care
for the soda checks with the added
task confronting them of counting out
pennies.
One proprietor has suggested that
he pay the tax from his monthly
sales, bearing the tax burden himself.
in order TO lessen the necessary book
keeping and additional employees re-
quired.
Lawmakers never think of the
girls behind the counter" complain
ed a tired waitress at a luncheonette
counter counter yesterday afternoon.
Even during the stress of the busy
lunch hour she said she had to stop
to account for each sale of pie
a la mode" and cake served with
ice cream on a special slip as well
as stamp il with the official Gov
ernment stamp provided. In addi-
tion. she stated. the cashier had to
keep strict account Of all these sales.
Public willing TO Pay.
Candy makers are now paying for
the revenue tax. thus avoiding con-
fusion to patrons.
In general it is believed that the
public is accepting the tax levied
with very creditable spirit. One of
the largest trunk and bag establish
ments of the city stated that no
complaints have been heard so far.
Bags valued at $3.50 are taxable, he
said. and trunks costing over $50 are
taxed in excess of that amount. He
reports no bookkeeping confusion, as
the tax entry is made at the same
time and distinct from the sales
account.
Many OF the large stores put the
luxury tax into effect with little
confusion. having decided for them
selves in the absence of specific rul-
| ings what particular merchandise
was taxable.
