LI I ILC TIIUICOI TO TAX PLACED ON SOFTDRIIIKS Kruyer Interpretates Law Providing for Additional Charge at Soda Fountains. According to soda fountain operatrs, Richmond patrons are paying the recently added war tax to drinks with ftttle complaint The act providing for the tax went into effect May 1, and lince that time the consumers have been paying from 1 to 2 cents additional on the 10 and 16-cent drinks.
For the information of those who ire not yet familiar with ihe proviilons of the law, The Palladium prints the following interpretation of the law by Peter J. Kruyer, collector of internal revenue, with offices in Indianapolis: RATE OP TAX The tax Is measured by the price for which the food or drink is sold. It Is on the actual lales price at the rate of 1 cent for each 10 cents or fraction thereof of the amount paid for an of the articles tnentioned In Section 630. Each sale tor 10 cents or less is taxed 1 cent and each sale for over 10 cents is taxed 1 cent for each 10 cents or fraction thereof of the price. The tax is upon the whole amount of the price paid by the purchaser when the price Is paid at one time though In payment for several articles trhich are the subject of a single trans
action of purchase and sale. The
total price paid la the unit for computing the tax; thus. If the purchaser orders two sodas at the same time and
each sold for the 15 cents the tax Is B cents and not 4 cents. If, however, he buys one soda for 15 cents the tax
Is 2 cents, and If he then Immediately purchases another 15 cent drink the tax Is 2 cents on the second sale which
cannot be treated as part of the first
kale.
Any means by which separate purchasers pool their order for the pur
pose of defeating or escaping the tax Imposed by Section 630 shall be carefully guarded against by the vendor,
tor Its employment subjects the pur
chaser and the vender If he connives In it to the penalties provided in Sec
tion 1308 of the Act ARTICLES TAXABLE Examples:
The following articles of food or drink are subject to tax within the meaning bf Section 630 of the Revenue Act of
1918: All beverages when compounded
Dr mixed at the fountain, such as Or
angeade, Lemonade, Pineapple Juice, Coca Cola, Root Beer, Moxie, Phosphates, Fruit and Flavoring Sirups compounded or mixed with carbonated
water or plain water, Milk Shakes In any form. Cream and Eggs Shakes,
Ice Cream, Ice Cream Sodas, Ice Cream Bundaes, Ice Cream Sandwiches, Flav
ored Ices and all other similar foods
or drinks. This list, however, Is not Intended or considered to be complete, but merely illustrative of the class of articles subject to tax. BEVERAGES NOT TAXABLE Examples: There are certain drinks which are often sold at soda fountains, Ice cream parlors or other similar places of business which are not regarded as soft drinks or ice cream products or similar articles of food or flrtnk within the meaning of Section 630 of the Revenue Act of 1918. Such beverages are exemplified by Hot Beef Tea, Coffee, hot, cold or Iced Tea, hot, cold or Iced Buttermilk, Milk, Hot Chocolate or Cocoa, Clam Broth, Hot Clam Bisque, Hot Tomato Bisque and Hot Tomato Bouillon. No tax applies on the sale of beverages or drinks euch as Ginger Ale, Root Beer, Moxie, Mineral Water, etc., when served dlrectlly from a container, in which the
manufacturer's tax on such drinks has already been levied. See Section 628 of the Revenue Act of 1918. However. If any of the drinks of beverages here
in mentioned are .compounded or mix
ed with carbonated water or extract or other ingredients at the fountain
they are taxable. BEVERAGES NOT TAXABLE
Medicinal: There are certain medi
cines such as Bromo Seltzer, Citrate of
Magnesia, Rocbelle , Salts, Seidlitz
PoTrdors, Bicarbonate of Soda, Castor
Oil, Epsom Salts and Essence of Pep
sin which are often sold at soda fountains, ice cream parlors and similar places of business which aro not soft
drinks or ice cream products or similar articles of food or drink and hence
are not taxable.

CURIOUS ANSWERS
GIVEN BY CHILDREN IN HISTORY EXAMS
(Br Associated Press) LOGANSPORT. Ind., May 5. History always has been a stumbling block for children, explained the Cass
county teachers who conducted an ex
amination for eighth grade pupils. While many ol the children could explain the Monroe doctrine and state whether it is still in effect, others will answer like the following: "The Monroe doctrine is a doctor who goes
anywhere." Also, "The Monroe doc
trine is a' law made by a man named
Doctrine; It la in effect for about
all the postmasters are Democrats.'
The armistice waa signed by the
central powers at 11 o'clock a. m. Nov.
11, 1918, said another question. The
news of the action was received In In
dianapolis six hours earlier. State
how this was possible." ..
"The reason they received the news six hours earlier," answered one child, was because they sent the news there first. They sent the news to Indianapolis because they wanted the govern-
service they have rendered. The ceremony took place in the Palace square, Valetta, recently.
SERVICE H
ot to hear about- it tint." -; - -
"What are the three departments of our government as -provided In the constitution? brought answers that "the three departments ore Republican, Confederate and Democrat; the three departments consist ' of exec tive, sympathetic, and supreme court; the three departments are Wilson, the statehouse and the senate. "Give a brief sketch of the life of Longfellow," brought this reply from one lad: "He was born in Indianapolis, became a great American writer and wrote some swell poetry. " Explaining the quotation: "The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft Interred with their bones," one pupil wrote: "They should do good and carry it on their bones. The good
is always on their bones. Teachers said that the standard of the schools should not be Judged by such curious answers.
