Trajectory to the statement published

WAR TAXES OFF
Beginning Tomorrow COkes
VIII Sell for Five Cents.
No More Pennies Needed in
Buying Theater Tickets.

War taxes are to fall by the way
side in large numbers at midnight to-
night. Memories of the piping days
of 1918 and the revenue act of that
year which brought the penny back
into circulation again. and tackled one
or two onto every price, will slip when
most of the war taxes are removed.
At the soda fountain, the taxes
which have made extra pennies count
up at the rate of one for every ten
cents in valuation, or fraction thereof,
Will disappear The coke will drop
back to the 1916 price of jitney, as
will all other drinks of the same class,
and the higher priced drinks will lose
the extra two or three cents which
have been applied to their prices.
There remains a war tax, but it ap-
plies to the fountain syrup as it is
manufactured by the fountain men
and is paid by them and not by the
consumer. Z 1t amounts to niEe cents
per gallon. In Topeka, Sunday, cUKes
will be five cents again, at practically
every mart therefor.
Silk stockings, mems and women's,
hats above a. certain value, and other
articles of clothing which cost enough
to be considered luXuries, will be
available Tuesday when the stores
reopen at a price which Will be minus
the ten per cent ldCht0 OlA III IL O.
On automobiles, there Will be re-
moval OF the war tax, according to the
information received by dealers here.
The war tax on the freight which is
charged up against the cars, will be
removed-which means the removal
of from 81 to SO from the cost of the
car.in Topeka, based on the weight of
car and the size of the freight bill.
The war tax on the car itself, of per
cent on the selling price, will remain
as it is.
No Tax On Movies.
The war tax on theater and moving
picture admissions is to be removed
at midnight tonight, and the making
of odd change at the little glass win
dows will be eliminated.
On toilet accessories and prepare
tons. patent medicines and other
drugs of a proprietary nature, the tax
is to be removed. No more will the
tooth paste tube bear revenue stamp.
Merchants handling all the COM
moditfes which are released from the
payment of the war tax agree that
the nuisance of collecting and keeping
track of it was greater than the pay
ment of the tax itself.
This was especially true, according
to the office head of one of the leading
department stores, in taking care OF
the excise taxes on clothing-au of 1t
having to be listed on the sales bill
and presented to the governme emit.

DURANTS HERE WITH
 MORE ON THE ROAD

The H. and H Motor company has just received a carload of Durants, four-cyIinder models, from the Long Island plant. The shipment arrived last Thursday and attracted great deal of attention. The fact that this shipment came from Long Island city is due to the heavy rush Of ship ments leaving the Lansing plant of the corporation.
 Ordinarily, until the Oakland plant is completed, all western shipments are to be made from the Lansing factory. As this unit of the Durant plants is showed under with orders the shipment was finally secured from the Long Island plant, this be- ing the unit which could handle the earliest deliveries.
 Julian Holmes. manager of the H and H Motor company. states that he has just been informed by Vice President Stoves of the Durant in- terests in California that several carloads of Durants are now en route to Phoenix from the Lansing plant and that a large shipment of parts is also on the way.
 "While we don't expect to have use for parts for many months to come" declared MT. Holmes, i've are going to be in a position to back Durant cars up to the last notch. The value of car depends greatly upon how 1t is represented, and we feel that a large and complete stock of parts is a big factor in the proper leadership of a car."
 A healthy waiting list of purchas- CTS has been accumulated for the Durant shipments that are on the way and those who are taking deliv- cry on the carload that has just ar rived are enthusiastic to an almost hilarious degree.
