 Advices from London, which hinted that the rise in British bills was due to buying of foreign securities by American investors as an offset to prospective federal tax legislation. were not credited in informed bank ing circles.

Captain Train wrote in the let
ter which was made public here
by President William C. Prout, of

the existing rules of the A. A. U.
amply cover contact between the

War Taxes On
Sodas Expire;
Prices Stay Up

Elimination OF the 10 per cent
war tax on all soft drinks served
at soda fountains, which was eff
fective on New Years day through
the operation Of new federal law,
will make little, if any, difference
in the prices of Salem refresh
ments dispensaries.
In the first place the proprietors
believe that the Salem public is
as willing to pay 10 cents for a
soft drink as half that amount.
Besides, there is a better profit in
serving a good drink for ten cents
than there is in serving a poor
drink for five cents unless the vol
ume of business can be increased
to such an extent that the over
head would be reduced making it
possible to serve the poor drink for
five cents with at least as much
profit as serving the good drink
for twice the money. In other
words, the drinking public, in
order to obtain the advantage of
tax elimination would have to
drink twice as many soft drinks as
it does now. This would take twice
as much service on the part of dis
pensaries, however, double the
overhead and cut down the profit
increase the breakage in glasses
and the public would not be as
well satisfied with the drink for
five cents as it is with the 10
cent drink.
At present the most popular and
best known drink served at the
best Salem fountains contains two
ounces of syrup and six ounces of
charged water, while if the price
of the drink was reduced in order
to keep UP the proportionate mar
gin of profit it would be necessary
to reduce the contents to one
ounce of syrup and five ounces of
charged water, although it is ad-
mitted that the eight ounce drinks
can be served with a profit for five
cents at nearly all fountains ex-
cept those serving at tables. Fur
thermore under five-cent drink
regime the public would have
decided advantage, getting ten
ounces of charged water in two
drinks while under the present
ten-cent price it gets only six, il
lustrating the manner in which
the profit would be cut down.
A deep sense of cooperation, also
enters into the scheme of things.
''If the rest do, so will me, but
we're not going to until they do,
because we don't want to hurt
them and our soft drink business
is very small part of our trade,
anyway. There is no reason why
we should reduce our prices unless
the rest start it," is the sense of
the remarks of one of the confec-
tioners. "The public is willing to
pay 10 cents and get a good
drink"
