is to goto the store and tee how much i
he owes; as Oils Is the first thing he
wants lo etc pay aia debts. The mer
chants say white people could not
have done better. Everything has

WORKING FOR FERRIES
Messrs. C. B. Hallmark, of Wtaid
port; L. C. Mowery, of Slletx; and
S. T. Loudon,' of Eddyvllle; were In
the city last week as members of the
County Budget board, and while here
In that capacity they interviewed the
merchants and professional men of
this city with regard to the establish
ing of ferries at Newport and Toledo,'
for crossing the bay.
Their plan was that the county
should put ln about $60 per month 1
for a ferry here and a like amount for
one at Newport, and that the city of
Toledo put in $25 per month and the
city of Newport $25.
A majority of those interviewed
favored the establishing of ferries to
connect up the north and south parts
of the county.
The Leader believes that ferries
, should be established, and arrange
ments be made whereby people
and vehicles should be ferried free on
one or two days weekly and a nominal
charge made the balance of the time.

CHANGE MADE IN
DANCE TICKET TAX
An Important change has Just been
made by the Bureau of Internal Rev
enue in the Regulations concerning
the tax on admission to dances. I
The Regulations heretofore have
held that whore the admission for
men was $1.00 and women were ad
mitted free, $1.00 was the established
price of admission and women who
were admitted free were required to
pay 10c. tax the same as men. Wh re
the admission price for men was 60c.
and for women 26c, it was held that
the tax on both men and women was
6c.
By the ruling dated October 22 lt
Is now held that women are not ad
mitted to a dance under the same cir
cumstances as men, and 'that, there
fore, In the case of free admission of
women to a dance where a charge is
made for admission of men, such free
admission Bhall not be taxable. I
Where men are charged 60c. and
women 25c. admission, the tax on
men will be 6c. and on women 3c.

U. S. GROSS DEBT
The gross debt of the United States
oil September 30,' less the balance on
band, waa about $23,166,000,000. That
figure Is $486,000,000 less than the
debt on the same date In 1920, and
$2,312,000,000 less than the peak of
the war debt, reached on August 31,
1919. The figures show that we are
steadily returning to a sound finan
cial basis, a process that Is being ma
terially hastened' by the drastic 'econ
