REVENUE TAX ON
ICE CREAM AND
ALL SOFT DRINKS
Revenue Tax Collector Pardee
Explains Intent Of
This Tax
TAX LEVIED ON SALES

Revenue tax on ice cream and soft
drinks causing the revenue men.
C.. II. Pardee, General Deputy, and
his assistant, w. E. Pennington, Dep
uty Collector, considerable work in
adjusting local difficulties along this
line.
Both government representatives
we're busy this morning in their offices
in the Federal Building, hard at work
on taxpayers returns this morning,
taking up all subjects from cough
drops and scented soaps to income tax.
1.-THE tax on soft drinks, commonly
known as the beverage tax, is upon
drinks compounded or mixed at the
fountains. ice cream parlors and SINH
lar places of business" said General
Deputy Collector Pardee.
The tax Is upon the individual sale
price at the rate of cent for each ten
cent sale or fraction thereof. The tax
Is upon the whole amount of the pur-
chase. Thus, IL the purchaser orders
two sodas at the same time, each sell
Ing for Is cents, the tax is cents
and not cents. II, however, he buys
one soda for 10 cents the tax is 2
cents and II he purchases another 15-
cent drink the tax Is 2 cents on the
second sale. The tax is upon the price
OF certain commodities paid to any
person conducting a soda fountain,
ice cream parlor, or other similar
place of business" Sales of soft
drinks. ice cream and similar articles
by individuals or organizations, such
as religious. educational or charitable
societies, on special occasions only, as
are not taxable; such sales in stands
and booths at agricultural fairs, rae
ing parks, public exhibitions, circuses,
shows, and similar places are taxable
The distinction Is between sales made
by a person conducting a place of
business, even though temporarily,
and merely incidental sales, which
can not properly be called business.
Sales OF soft drinks, ice cream and
similar articles of food and drink are
not taxable when made in the regular
course OF business at a hotel, restau-
rant. cafeteria, lunch room or club
house, unless such articles are sold
separate and apart from meals. Any
sales of soft drinks, Ice cream and
similar articles sold from a soda
fountain are taxable even though sold
as a part of meal. That tax is levied
upon the sale of soft drinks. ice
cream. ice cream sodas, sundaes. or
other similar articles of food or drink,
when sold for consumption in or in

AT THE PALACE TONIGHT

Some of the most remarkable rain
storm scenes ever shown Nin motion
pictures form one of the many unusual
features of Eugene O'Brien's first Selz-
nick Picture, THE Perfect Lover.
which comes to the Palace Theatre to-
day.
Rainstorm scenes are always among
the most difficult to photograph, but
these were especially hard because OF
the fact that they were supposed to
be taken at night. Accordingly, street
scene was erected in the studio and
the various apparatus used in studios
to produce rain effects was put into
operation. These scenes were actually
taken in the middle of the night, and
an extra large crew wass required to
see that everything went through all
right. Tons of water were poured
down on the heads of the actors and
the floor of the studio was flooded so
deep that it took the stage hands sew
eral hours to dump and bail it dry
again. However. the scenes, when
finally filmed, were SO remarkable that
Director Ince felt more than recon-
pensed for the expense and trouble

Hazing Must StOp-Daniels

A Washington dispatch states:-
Secretary of the Navy Daniels. af-
.er a conference with Admiral Scales,
Superintendent of the Naval Academy,
declared that he would stop all forms
of hazing at the academy, If in doing
so he were forced to expel hundreds
of midshipmen.
81 told Admiral Scales" said Mr..
Daniels, that l wouldn't mind expel-
ling 200 of them any more than
would mind eating breakfast in the
morning if that case became neces-
sary to stop the hazing. There are
over 1000 boys there and we could
very well get rid of 200"
Secretary Daniels said the practice
of hazing in its slightest form had \
tendency to break the spirit of the
men, and he is determined to put an
end to it. Investigation of reports of
recent hazing were under way. Ad-
miral Scales after the conference with
the Secretary yesterday said:
"Just before leaving Annapolis word
was sent to me by the president and
secretaries of the first and second
classes that if there was anything
these classes could do to enable the
superintendent to establish the fact
that midshipmen do not and will not
engage in any form of hazing or run
ming. they would gladly do all that
was possible.
