STEAL ATLANTA CAR
Get TWENTY YEARS
1T USED TO BE FIVE YEARS, BUT
CAPITAL CITY FOLK GOT TIRED
OF LOSING MACHINES

Atlanta, Ga. May Here are the
chief recommendations of the spring
term Grand jury in special present
ments returned to Judge John Hump
hries, in the criminal division of the
Superior court:
More rigid marriage laws. Increase
OF maximum penalty for auto theft
from five to twenty years.
In the matter of new marriage laws
the Grand Jury urged the Fulton re-
preventative and the State Senator
from this district to obtain the
enactment of law that will require
the presentation of a doctors certi-
ficate by contracting parties at the
time they apply for license, and al
so to require the publication of the
license for five days.
The raising OF the maximum penal
ty to twenty years for auto thefts was
urged as essential in breaking up the
practice, which had grown to unusal
proportions 1t was shown tina this
form of crime is now being carried on
by the regular organized bands in
Atlanta.

new Use FOR PENNY
WHEN YOU GET DRINK
LUXURY TAX" Is NOW ADDED
TO WAR TAXES, WHICH UNCLE
SAM NEEDS TO PAY HIS BILLS

Atlanta, Ca, May 1.-The little
money penny found new use. begin
ming today. Uncle Sam needs more
money to pay his war bills and de-
mobilization expenses. Therefore, he
now requires a penny for each dime
or fraction thereof paid for soft
drinks, ice cream and such concoc-
toms.
1t is entirely different from the
new tax on candies, and the old and
the new super taxes on cigars, cigar
cites and tobacco The dealer is sup
posed to pay the tobacco tax and pass
it on to the customer in higher prices.
This luxury tax, as it has been
called. simply is an extension of the
war tax which the public has been
paying for some time on tickets to
theatrers, motion picture shows and
other amusements. The extension,
which began today, covers a wide
field, including many articles of
clothing, from petticoats to mems
shirts, and applying particularly to
soft drinks.
Welcome the thought, alterations
are not taxable, so there is hope for
the "made-over", the patched shoes,
clothing and various and sundry
other things. Note this-congress ex-
tends the hope of repeating the tax
at it's next session. so it may not last
for very long time.
Listen, don't get sore on the soda
fountain man and your merchant to-
day. The tax is imposed by the gov
eminent. The merchants and dealers
have no choice in the matter at all.
In fact, their hardship is as great as
the publics for they must bear the
expense OF bookkeeping and checking
mp the tax on every purchase.
According to reports viagrepeVine
telegraph, no clubs have been form
ed under the head of Wont-Pay-lt
and few, if any, have abstained from
their accustomed soft drinks. most
folks are more inclined to double
their drinks, so Uncle Sam" is now a
common toast at the soft drink
stands. To add a paragraph by way of
closing:
There's a two-cent tax on the ice
cream soda, but none on the milk and
pie, which are classed as food.

the soda fount
Soda water, ice cream root
beer and all other soda fountain
drinks become taxable, under the
revenue act. Five and ten cent drinks
or dishes will be taxed one cent,
while fifteen or twenty cent drinks

to reduce his prices to include the
extra tax item.
The question of when drinks are
taxable and when they may not be

able drinks when mixed and sold at
the fountain for consumption on the
premises:
"Orangeade, lemonade pineapple

water, milk shakes, matted milk
shakes, ice cream, ice cream sodas,
sundaes, ice cream sandwiches, flay-
ored ices"
These drinks are not taxable: Hot
beef tea, coffee, tea buttermilk, milk,
hot chocolate, hot clambroth tomato
bouillOn and bottle drinks sold direct
from the container. Separate manu-
facturers' taxes are imposed on
drinks of the latter class.

in containers to be carried away from
the selling place to be eaten. Ice
cream cones are taxable. Bronze sell
