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 ap-
proximately $50,000,000; a stamp tax on
negotiable instruments, it is estimated,
will yield $31,000,000; a tax on the
capital stock of banks of $4,300,000
and a tax on tobacco, perfumes, thea-
/ter tickets, etc.,, makes the remainder.
* Congress +has decreed that the
‘brewer, the banker and the investor
must shoulder the musket and march
to the front; that milady who would

ure and. . Profit—the twin heroes of
‘many “wars—shall fight the nation’s
‘battles and ‘by an ingeniously ar-
ranged schedule of taxation cengress
has shifted the war budget from the
shoulders of ‘Necessity to those of.
Choice and Gain, touching in its
various ramifications almost every line
of business.’
All hail the dollar that bleeds for
its country; that bares its breast to
the fortunes of war and risks its life
of the nation’s credit.
The market place has always been
a favorite stand for war revenue gol
lectors. The trader is a great finan
cial patriot. His dollar is the first to
rally around the star-spangled banner
and the last to hear the coo of the
dove of peace. He is called upon to
buy 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 Yood and ammunition,
and money is as important a factor
in ‘war as blood. Many monuments
have Hy erected in honor of heroes
slain in battles, poems have been writ-
ten eulogizing their noble deeds and
the nation honors its soldiers while
they live and places 8 monument upon
their graves when they die, but
little has been said of the dollar
bears the burdens of war.
Honor to the Dollar that Bears ‘the
Burdens of War.
All honor to the dollar that an-
sSWers the call to arms and, when
the battle is over, bandages the
wounds of stricken soldiers, lays a
wreath unon the graves of fallen
ueroes aud cares for the widows and
orphans.
All honor to the industries that
bend their backs under the burdens
of war; lift the weight from the shoul-
ders of the r and build a bulwark
around the nation's credit.
All honor to ‘those who contribute
to the necessitigs and administer to
the comforts of‘'.the boys who are
marching; cool the fever of afflicted
soldiers and kneel hw ith the cross be-
side dying heroes.
A dollar may ort its competitor in
business, industries may struggle for
supremacy in trade and occupations
may view each othe; with envy or
suspicion, but when the bugle calls
t
flag, companions and (friends, mess
mates and chums, all fi hting for one
flag, one cause and one country. -
The luxuries in life have always
been the great burden-bearers in gov-
ernment. We will mention a few of
them giving the annual contributiors

$54,000,000; silks, $15,500,000; dia-
monds, $3,837,000; millinery, $2,479,
furs, $2,024,000 and automobiles,
$870,000. © We collect $665,000,000 of
internal and custom revenue annually
and $450,000,000 of this amount classi-
fies as luxuries, and to this amount
we should add the $100,000,000 war tax
now levied.
