TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT. JUNE 3. 1920. Tillamook Jottings. Women No Longer Free to Attend Dances.

The Treasury Depart­ ment ruled that they must be taxed, as the following letter will show: Treasury Department, Washington, Sept 19, 1919. Collector of Internal Revenue. Portland, Oregon. In reply to your letter of Sept, 10, 1919, you are advised when gentle­ men are required to pay a charge of of 11.00 for admission to a dance and all ladies are admitted free, whe­ ther or not accompanied by a gentle­ man, tax of 10c must be collected from each lady admitted as well as each gentleman.
