the Morrow Administration. And
addition to this, the following is
a list of special taxes imposed:
On whisky in bond so cents a

arettes $4,000.
Billiard and pool tables $50 for
the first table and $500 for each

Real estate agents $40.

Retail dealers in soft drinks
and ice cream $500.
On each theatre 20 cents per

each different kind of automo-
bile he sold.

Motor Grief

All things the motorist must
buy to have corking time. are
SO absurdly, beastly high the
prices are crime Gas costs
SO much the buyer swears and
madly paws the ground; I've
bought span OF old gray mares
to haul my car around. The gait
they hits sad and strange. their
progress is joke. they're
spawned and they have the
mango, but they don't leave me
broke. 1t takes the income Of
THE rich to buy a set Of tires
and when one prices oil and SIGH
he gurgles and expires. The
punk mechanic with his tools
calls for your final red: so go
and buy span Of mules and
hitch them to sled. Five years
ago I'd drive all day. and then at
night return, and when | put the
car away | still had coin to burn.
Five years ago mechanics stout
made my old boat work fine
they took the measly carbon
out and got the valves in line.
Their charges never set me back
SO much that | would sweat: but
now I've bought a brindled yak
to haul my wagonette Five
years ago-but what's the use?
The dead years are on ice; now
any seven-cent excuse will do to
hoist the price,
