Luxuries Tax in $6,000,000,000 Revenue Bill Causes All Liquor loj
Go Up, and Many Thirsty Philadelphians Sadly Pass Gilded
Palaces and Do Without Their Daily "Snort"
Mixologists today say they aro be.
tween the devil of legal prohibition and
tho docp sea ot votuntary abstinence.
Following a general Incrcaso In tho
prices of drinks as a result of tho new
luxuries tax, Philadelphia Is showing
pronounced symptoms of going dry with
out the aid of any law. This morning
many a citizen, who habitually has
taken a llttlo "snort" on his way to
work, passed coldly by the places with
their brand-new signs announcing n flvo
and ten-cent Increase In the price of
every little drink.
Now the bars and restaurants of the
city havo qulto a supply of liquors and
beers on hand ; cnogh, In fact, to carry
them over tho first of July. And If tho
present prohibition sentiment continues
to follow lis bent they stand a good
chance of being left on July 1 with a
big stock of contraband goods on their
hands.
In some of the downtown places they
have Introduced the "ponyette" to olt
set the now 3 tax on a barrel of beer.
Tho "ponyette" I a "pony-pony" of
bee r but It Is to tho old-fashloned pony
what n burro Is to a yiiulc. A seedy
looking man' walked Into" a' Market
street cafo and ordered a "pony." when
served with a "ponyette" his wnlls
could bo heard on the sidewalk.
"Only a llttlo while," ,he sajd, "and
they'll be serving ub beer In' whisky,
glasses nnd whisky In a teaspoon "
Most of tho tobacconists had com
pleted their preliminary Inventory of
stocks today. They reported a general
Increase In the sales of all-tobacco cig
that way; but
:k fr
ninmwraniirj
Schaffner & : Marx jClothing ,
PRICES SOAR
arettes following tho announcement that
this form of smoking tobacco suffers
least under tho new tax. All-tobacco
cigarettes havo been Increased from SI
to 1. CO per thousand, whllo tho cheap
est cigarettes aro Increased from $2.05
to J 3 per thousand tax.
"What will happen to you If every
body quits drinking and they shift the
liquor taxes over to tobacco?" a down
town dealer was asked.
"We'll keep on paying, I suppose,"
said tho dealer. Ho added confi
dentially that the public would bo let
In, too.
Tho publlo already has been let In.
Throughout tho city tobacco dealers
were busy this morning tearing down
tho old price elgns of their wares and
supplanting them with tho prices under
tho new tax. A general Increase of
from one to three cents In cigars was to
be found.
Owners of Incomes who found them
selves mixed up by tho new tax were
straightened out at the Bourso yester
day by a deputy from tho Internal Itev
enuo Collector's office detailed there to
explain the provisions of tho new law.
Ho will -visit tho Bourso dally from 10
a. m. to 3 p. m.
Probably tho most Important change
Is the one affecting the lncomotax. -Tho
exemptions of $1000 for slnglo persons
and 12000 for married persons and heads
of families, 'remain as under tho 1917
act. Tho normal tax under the new
act Is 6 per cent on tho first J4000 of
net Income above tho exemptions and 12
per cent on tho remaining not Income.
