I The ronfetionery stores in Salem Hid vendors of euniiounded or mixed drinks found themselves in a rather nn twtUfartory position today when they begun to realize thai the tai on luxur ies went into effect today. For instance, there is the fumltiar lee eream tone. Dealers will either have to sell at four eents and eolleet the one reut revenue from the youugsrer, or sell at the usual jitney and call for a penny on the aide. Then there is the usual tea eeut drinks such as soda water, and others which are anxed over the counter. The customer who just drops in win be obliged to pay the usual dime and then fish out a penny, as the law pluinly reads that the purchaser must lay t,he luxury tax. - The local men are doing soiuo tall figuring today whether to jj I charge 9 eents for the drink and collect line one cent internal revenue wnen tne dime is ptid. There are three or four drinks that come under this schedule, all mixed Or compounded. Then there is the 15 cent drink.

Spirted In Roseburg (Kosobuig Xcws) Oac of the greatest deals ever at tempted la Douglas county was suc cessfully completed last night, when approximately cue- million and a half pouuia of runc wero pooled by doww grower and aold to H. S.

Hovernl of the largest growers who had Ibeen holding out on the purchns- jing companies got together yesterday and after considerable discussion de cided to ipool their interests and put ; the entire block wj to bid. The meet ing took place at the iKmglns National to nk at about 8 o'clock and for excite ment, those present stute that the New Vv.ik stock market was us quiet as a finical in comparison. 1'rager and company, represented by V.

Hittherlnnd, were the bidders and the fight thoy put up mill long foe re- noon and this evening to decide whether to charge 13 cents for tbe anna, aud eolleet the two cents revenue when the 15 eents is paid, or whether to force the customer to go into a sidepocket and dig up two coppers. For the revenue is It) per cent and if there is a fraction of a eeut, it goes ou to another extra cent. ' j For the 20-eent dring, thore is the problem of charging IS cents and col- leeting the revenue with the 20, Or to1 charge 22 eents and make the sate even two-bits, including revenue. I All soft drinks are taxed the ten per cent, but if one Bhould buy two drinks at lo cents each, instead of pyg two cents on each, it is legal a mi! luwful and correct to pay the ten per cent on the total or from 30 cents, hand out three eents in revenue. It is the penny and the penny eoango that the local men are fighting shy of. Not that they do not want the extra iieniiy, but thev know the average pub lie would appreciate some way of not toting around so much loose copper chance. They feel that tne punlic spends its money easier when it is made easier to spend. Now In any of the Kuleiu confection ery or other stores serving mixed or compound drinks, there is a 10 per cent tax on such things as are served from tho fountain, including coco cola, lem onade, root beer, milK slinKcs, ice cream Tho iuternal revenue laws says "mixed or compounded." Hut if the Salcniite wants .lust a drink of eoffeo, hot tea, iced butter milk, ginger ale, l'hez or I.oju, and thoso are not mixed or carbonated with anything else, they are not tnxnble. Onci 'may take promo seltzer, seidliU pow ders, eastot "oi1 or such ana ion pay the government 10 por cent These are not mixed drinks. j However, for tho benefit of tho drink ing public and those who like to drop In for the compounded mixtures, tho confectionary men intend to make it as easy as possible to spend money in Sa lem and hope at the meeting this after noon and evening' to find a way out whereby it will not be nocossary for any to carry around a pocketful of pennies.
