War Revenue Tax of $105,000,000
Levied—Beer Bears Brunt
of Burden.
Congress has levied a war tax
of $105,000,000 to offset a similar
amount of loss on import revenue
due to the European disturbances
and of this amount beer is the
heaviest contributor, having been
assessed approximately, $50,000,-
OOQ; a stamp tax on negotiable
instruments, it is estimated, will
yield $.51,000,000; a tax on the
eapital stock of hanks of $4,300,
000, and a tax on tobacco, per
fumes, theater tickets, etc., make-
tile remainder.
Congress has decreed that the
brewer, the hanker and the in
vestor must shoulder the musket
and march to the front; that mi
lady who would add to her beau
ty must first tip Uncle Sam, and
a dollar that seeks pleasure mnst
first salute the Hag; that Pleasure
and Profit—the twin heroes oi
many wars—shall fight the na
tion’s battles and by an inge
niously arranged schedule of tax
ation Congress has shifted the
war budget from the shoulders
of Necessity to those of Choice
and Gain, touching in it- various
ramifications almost every line
of business.
All hail the dollar tbit bleeds
for its country; that bares its
breast to the fortunes of war and
risks its life to preserve the sta
bility and integrity of the nation’s
credit.
The market place has always
been a favorite stand for war rev
enue collectors. The trader is a
great financial patriot. Mis dol
lar is the first to rally around the
star-spangled banner and the last
to hear the coo of the dove of
peace, lie is called upon to buv
cannon; to feed and clothe the
boys in blue and each month
cheer their hearts with the coin
of the realm. Men can neither be
free nor brave without food and
ammunition, and money is as im
portant a factor in war as blood.
-Many monuments have been
erected in honor of heroes slain
in battle, poems have been writ
ten eulogizing their noble deeds
and the nation honors its soldiers
while they live and places a mon
ument upon their graves when
they die, but very little has been
'■od of the dollar that bears the
burdens of war.
lienor to the Dollar That Bears
the Burdens of War.
All honor to the dollar that an
swers the call to arms and, when
the battle is over, bandages the
wounds of stricken soldiers, lays
a wreath upon the graves of fall
en heroes and cares for the
widows and orphans.
All Honor to the industries that
bend their hacks under the burd
ens of war; lilt the weight from
the shoulders of the poor and
build a bulwark around the na
tion's credit.
All honor to those who con-
tfi 'Ute to the necessities and ad
minister to the comforts of the
boys who are marching; cool the
fever id addicted soldiers and
kneel with the cross beside dying
hen es.
A dollar may light its compet
itor in business, iudn-tries may
struggle for supremacy in trade
and occupations may v iew each
other with envy or suspicion, but
when the bugle calls they bury
strife and rally around the flag
companions and friends, mess
mates and elntms, all fighting for
' ne flag, otto cause and one coun-
