The Cone Tax.

Among signs Of coming spring are the peti-
tons asking the s7th congress to remove the
tar on soda water and ice cream cones. And
in truth. hard up as Uncle Sam may be for
money to pay his debts, he should be able to
get along without penny taxes levied on tho
righteous thirsts Of his citizens and the con-
fections Of his Children. Increased production
costs have made the prics Of sodas and ice
cream high enough without the added federal
tax. Tho only excuse for sach tax IL that it
10 easy to collect Certainly NO valid claim
can be made that cooling drinks and coafec-
tons are Injuries and that, therefore, they
should be taxed
Uncle Sam, who made war successfully in
rig way. seems someyhat ludicrous figure
when seen collecting pennies from children at
Ice cream stands to help pay the bills Of the
vaf.

OF the past when father was wait

than all of the letter, its arrival,
its beautiful certificate. and her
own haste to carry the news to
