CLUBS ASK FOR
 BALL PROCEEDS
But Someone Made a Bad Guess When T h e v Thought $19,OOO Was Net ted At Inaugural Ball.

Judging by the reports of members of the Denalocratics Executive Board. it is doubtful if favorable action can be taken on the resolutions of the Third District Democratic Club that $500 be donated to each of the dis trict clubs from the proceeds of Mayor Atwater's inaugural ball At a meeting last night. the club went on record as favoring the distribution of the proceeds among the various dis trict organizations, believing at the time that the ball had netted a. profit of nearly $1S,000. When the actual figures are reported by the ball com mittee, it will be seen that the pro ceeds fall very far shrort of that mark, and will hardly be more than sufficient to meet the deficit in the boards treasury.
 Officers for the new year were elected at the meeting, and Edward F. Lynch was named presid ent. Frank Fargo was chosen the new vice president, Attorney Arthur M. Weiss, secretary, and Kenneth J. Griffin, Griffin, treasurer.

NEW TAX TAKES PLACE OF SODA
 TAX REPEALED

The following new ruling as re- gards beverage taxes was given out this morning by Division Chief w. J. O'Connell of the Internal Revenue Department:
 Referring to the new tax imposed on syrups, cereal beverages, et-, the commissioner has ruled that where a product is formed by diluting con- centrated syrups, which are bought direct from manufacturers, by mix ing simple syrup, which IS sugar and water prepared by owners of soda fountains etc, the tax applies on the whole quantity of finished syrup, thus made, and credit can be taken on re- turn for tax already paid by the man. ufactvrer of the concentrated syrup.
 This tax takes the place of the re- gently repealed soda tax but is not meant for the consumer. It is dis tinctively a merchants tax and in no way is to affect the consumer.
