no PAYS AND WHO NOT
Manner In Which the Ice Cream
Il wrapped at the Counter Will
Determine in Some Cases
It's Cost.

Interest in the new internal revenue
going on soda water and ice cream
the like May /, is not only gen
Il among the public of Keokuk, but
dealers here are interested In just
the thing is to work.
Not the least interest is manifested
the many church societies and
rret orders who give socials occa-
Fnally with ice cream much in ev-
nee.
rhe government has not yet issued
official rules and regulations, and
pbably will not do SO until the last
mute, but the manufacturers inter
ed have worked out most Of the de-
lis Of the law.
The Illinois association has issued
circular letter of advice and state
int OF facts which Is valuable and
doubt correct as far as it goes.
Cones, But Not SocIais.
One OF the most important things is.
IL church socials and the like will
K have to pay the tax on ice cream
" sell. according to the legal adj
kor of this association.
The part OF the Illinois circular Of
bst general interest is as follows:
la tax OF one cent for each ten cents
fraction thereof Of the amount paid
ice cream, ice cream sodas, sun
les, cones, and ice cream sandwiches
all be collected by the dealer from
purchaser when IL Is apparent,
BIN the nature Of the package, that
ch article can be consumed on the
Iemises where sold, even though it
not consumed on the premises
here sold.
no tax Is assessed against ice cream
hen, from the nature Of the package
which 1t Is sold, 1t is apparent that
ch Ice cream is not intended for
assumption on the premises, but is to
carried away.
Therefore, until ruling to the con-
Dry is made by the revenue depart
|ent, we believe it would be well for
h dealer to be On the safe side by
lecting the tax on all sales of ice
Jam cones, ice cream sandwiches,
cream slices wrapped in tissue or
plchment paper. dishes of ice cream,
cream sodas and sundaes.
Amount Of Tax.
Ghe tax would not apply to bricks
ice cream, nor to ice cream put up
cartons and carried from the prem
) where sold.
portion Of the law reads that the
shall be paid to any person con-
6fting "a soda fountain, Ice cream
2lor. or other similar place of bust
lur understanding of similar place
| business" Is any place where such
liable articles are sold at fixed and
nerminable price; in other words,
the tax must be paid wherever
cream, sodas, etc, are sold, wheth-
Va hotel, cafe. wagon. or a stand
the street.
The tax could not, however, be very
collected on Ice cream sold as
III of table-de-hote meal, for the
hson that the price could not be
