COST OF HIGH LUG -BOOSTED BY TARIFF T M mm licker" Promises to Cost More; Drinks May, Soon Be 15 Cents Straight. By Bond P. (Jcddes. (Written for the United Presa.) Washington, Nov. 21. Up to a noto.t higher, under the new tariff law. goes the cost of high living. It's going to cost more and a lot more at that to keep up the reputation of being a "spender." From booze to bank balances, the new law hits the pocketbook of the giddy, gay. gadabouts. Sprees, it is declared, will cost as much again, or more, while the Income tax strikes the bank balances and the better-than-the-average Incomes, . , . "Joy riding" may be some slight bit cheaper for the man who prefers for elgn built cars. But there are mighty few spots In the new law which offer lolace and cheer for the chasers of the bright lights. For the man w!o likea his "Ucker," the new law promises no financial re- conrldently De- get 'em two for a quarter will sell 'em at 16 cents straight. The new law re tains, and on many Items increases, th duty. The former rate of a gal lon on brandy, whiskey, absinthe, cor dlalB and liquors Is retained. So is the former djity of 80 cents a quart on champagne. So also is ' the old "indi rect" tax of 45 cents a gallon on Im ported beers, aje, porter and stout. Oc still wines, the import tax, whicS tho consumer will have to pay, is slightly Increased in some lnatances. About the only thing that Bounds like an Intoxi cant and which doesn't carry the same, or higher tax is "bibulous paper," and that is not a thirst quencher but a stere otyping commodity. Democrats did de crease the duty on sponges, though, from 20 to 15 per ceut. No, it's not tliat kind of a sponge. But the friendly "bar-keep" may have to economize In keeping the little china dish at the end of the mahog any filled with, the "breath destroyers," for cloves will cost 2 cents a pound, and cinnamon chips 1 cent a pound more, if the new Import tax is tacked on to the retail price, which it proba bly will be. There's no c'.iance, however slight, for the thirsty man, who doesn't have to have red-eye or kindred strong'ns, by drinking elder. It might be possible to save Jin much ns one-tcntli .of v cent: on a glass, provided you bvy It in gal lon lots and drink it tat home, for thti tariff on Imported cider has been cut from 6 to 3 cents a gallom But who wants to do their drinking at home?, Rut pity the poor millionaires. In addition to plastering a fat income tax on ltJs purse, the new law, in intent,, at least, boosts nearly everything on rtha. "high living plane-." Diamonds are up 10 per cent. Jewelry is up five pel cent. Silks are up considerably, and so it goes! The jolly "Joy riders" have one con solation in the reduction , by 15 per Cent of the, duty on cheap foreign automo biles, which coat less than $2000. It also provides no tax on gasoline. Some more, consolation is. that if the '"poor millionaire" 1 -Tiorsoi fancier,,, he can still import thoroughbreds for i Mm oreedlng utables without on penny of tariff cost. - - t, But there Is this to be said for or against the new law. The tariff on chickens has been cut to the limit. TELEPHONE Q0. IS NOT SATISFIED WITH RULING ISaleiq Bureau of The Journal.) . Salemr Or.. Nov, 21.
