SHACKLES ON BUSINESS.

The tax upon soda waters and cos
metics ct cetera, not from the stand
point of cost to the consumer so much
as from the view OF trouble CON
nected with it. has come to be a
sort OF shackle as the Manufacturers
Record says of the income tax. The
average man does not mind paying
six cents for a fountain drink, but
he does mind getting four cents in
change and having to carry that in
his pocket. He may. it is true, leave
the four cents on the counter if he
pleases, but that makes the drink
cost him ten cents. Every man who
drinks fountain drinks, or otherwise
pays the so>alled luxury tax, we be-
lieve, would prefer to buy an ad-
ditional hundred dollar Liberty
bond. Petitions may be found at
the fountains these days for sigma
lures asking the repeal Of the meas

deal of doubt as to its effectiveness

lutely necessary by obligations in

This war was fought not merely

letin Boards to Be Placed in

with the Rock Island city commits
sion yesterday afternoon regarding
this matter. He requested that the

All property is to be revalued
this season. thus making the work
Of the assessor much heavier than
usual. Retaliation is required ev-
cry four years and its completion
this year will make unnecessary a
similar step for four years.
1t was recognized that in order
that efficient, capable men might
be secured to assist Mr.. Nelson L
fair, reasonable remuneration will
be necessary. In tentative discus
sion the sum of s. per day was
mentioned, but this is subject to
change upon decision of the asses

Gil by Mr.. Schillinger that bulletin
