PENNY PUT TB HEW
USE ON Mr FlHSI
The little penny will find a
Uncle new use, commencing May 1.
Sam needs more money
to pay his war bills and demob¬
ilization expenses. Therefore,
he will require a penny for each
dime or fraction thereof paid
for soft drinks, ice cream and
such concoctions.
It is entirely different from
ths new tax on candies, and the
old and the new and super tax¬
es on cigars, cigarettes and to¬
bacco.
The dealer is supposed to pay
the tobacco tax and pass it on
to the customer in higher prices.
Now, consider the average
store which handies soft drinks
and smokes and sandwiches. You
had better bring along more
than enough to pay the old price
of twenty cents for two ice
creams. Instead of twenty you
must have twenty-two.
The taxes collected by the
drug stores and soft drink places
must be returned separately and
records kept, as in the case of
theatre tickets.
There’s a two cent tax on the
ice cream soda, bitt none on the
milk and pie, tvhich are classed
as food.
The merchant must not mere¬
ly add up the totals at the end
of the month and turn over the
tac. He must be able to make
a correct report at any minute
a collector might drop in. Here
is the law on the subject:
Section 630. That on and af¬
ter May 1, 1919, there shall be
levied, assessed, collected and
paid a tax of 1 cent for each ten
cents or fraction thereof of the
amount paid to any person con¬
ducting a soda fountain, ice
cream parlor or other similar
place of business for drinks com¬
monly known as soft drinks,
compounded or mixed at such
places of business, or for ice
cream sodas, sundaes, or other
similar articles of food or drink,
when any of the above are sold
on or after such date for con¬
sumption in or in proximity to
such places of business. Such
tax shall be paid by the pur¬
chaser to the vendor at the time
of the sale and shall be collected,

Perhaps the most remarkable
increase will be that affecting
rural telephone lines. Rural pa¬
trons, it is announced, will be
charged mileage rates — addi¬
tional rates for extra distance
beyond the base rates are city
limits—42 cents per quarter
mile or fraction thereof. The
charge, it is stated, will he pro¬
rated between two party and
four party line stations. While
the business phone rates in Cov¬
ington will remain the same, in¬
creases will ensue on residence
and party lines.
Manager John T. Banks has
been kept busy explaining the
necessity for making the in¬
crease, which the telephone com¬
pany states, would have been
put into effect under private
ownership.

GEORGIA RAILROAD’S
EARNINGS IN 1918
INCREASE A MILLION
The Georgia Railroad and
the Georgia Railroad and Bank¬
ing Company last week made
their tax returns to Comptroller
General Wright, according to a
statement given out in Atlanta.
The main line of the Georgia
railroad is exempted by its char¬
ter from paying ad valorem
taxes, and in lieu of such taxes
it pays the state one-half of
one per cent on its net earnings.
These for 1918, according to
the returns, were $2,139,689,
and on these returns the road
will pay $10,698.45. The road’s
net earnings for 1917 were $1,-
360,980, and on these returns
it paid a tax of $6,804.00. Thus
it appears that the Georgia road
'earned nearly $1,000,000 more
in 1918 than it earned in 1917.
The Washington branch of the
is returned like other roads. It
was returned Thursday for 1919
taxes at a valuation of $237,434,
as against a return last year of
$238,414.
Likewise the Macon-Camak ^
br?nch valorem is not exempt and { mad
taxes, it was re¬
turned Thursday at a valuation
of $1,033,648, as against a re¬
turn last year of $1,037,236.
That portion of the terminal
warehouses in Atlanta which is
owned by the Georgia railroad,
and not used for railroad pur¬
poses was returned at a valua¬
tion of $375,000, the same as
last year.
In view of this magnificent
showing, Monroe ought to have
immediate consideration in the
erection of a new depot.

OLD AGE STARTS
WITH YOUR KIDNEYS
Science says that old age begins with
weakened kidneys and digestive organs.
This being true, it is easy to believe
that by keeping the kidneys and di¬
gestive organs cleansed and in proper
working and life order old age can be deferred
joyed prolonged far beyond that en¬
by the average person.
