« * TT 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- ti v. The luxuries in life hav • al ways been the great hurd m-be r- evs in government. We will men tion a few of them giving the annual contributions to the na lion’s treasury: l.innor, SJ5-V 000.000; tobacco, S103.000.000 • sugar, $54,000,000: silks. ?l5,50n..’ tV)0; diamonds, $3,037,00’': mil linerv, $2,*!.“‘>.000; furs S?.0.?4 <T.O and automobiles ATO.Li.X).
