War Expenses Are Continuing
With Little Abate;.
mcnt
OUTLAYS IN APRIL
WERE $1,420,000,030
Gradual Increase Is Shown
Since Lowest Level in
February.
Washington. ? Nearly six months
aiter me signing oi tnc armistice,
America's war expenses not only
arc continuing without abatement
but actually are increasing over
those of the past few months. This
Mas shown by a treasury report of
government outlays for April,
amounting to approximately $1,420,000,000,
of which about two-thirds
went to pay the nation's direct war
bills an I one third wont to the Allies
to enable them to pay obligations
incurred in this country heretofore
for war materials and foodstuffs.
The gradual mounting of war ex-'
pcnses from month to month, following
the big drop from around $2.0(h),000,000
a month last December and
$J ,189,000,000 in February, was cited
by treasury officials as a very sub
stantial reason why the Victory liberty
loan must be generously subscribed.
The increase in the last
two months is attributed to the!
giadua! settling of manufacturers'
accounts by the* war department, and
by the higher demand of the Allies
foi credits with which to pay bills
previously incurred in this country.
The tremendous outlays in April
raised the United States actual expenditures
since the nation entered
the war a little more than two years
ago to about $30,500,000,000.

FORD TO WORRY OVER
TjOndon.?An English manufacturing
company announces that it is
preparing to put on the market an
automobile that can be retailed for
$250, certainly not more than $300.
Scarcely any wood will be used in
the construction of the car, the principal
material being- a new substance
which is described as "a kind of concrete,
light, but strong and durable,
produced from waste material such
as slag,'clinkers and saw dust and
covered with a metal solution."
The process of manufacture is another
innovation in England. All
parti*, including wheels and chassis
will be stamped out, each complete
in one piece, and then fitted together.
j
The .manufacturers expect to compete
.with cheap American cars, because
<4tax and freight charges are
expected to raise the price of the
American articles considerably above
the figure asked for United States
buyers."

TAXES ON DRINKS I
ARE NOW IN FORGE
Applies to Several Places in
Conway and Other Horry
Towns.
DEALERS MUST MAKE
OUT MONTHLY RETURNS
Separate Records Have to be
Kept of Ten Cent Drinks or
Under, and Over
The Revenue Tax on cool drinks
under the new Revenue Laws passed
by the recent Congress went into
effect last Thursday, May 1st. The
tax of one cent must be paid on each
drink, the price of which is ton
cents or under, and a tax of two
cents must be paid on every drink
the price of which is over ten cents.
The tax on these two prices of
thinks must be kept by each dispensei,
separately, that is, he has to
keep a separate record of ten cent
drinks or under, and a separate list of
those on which two cents must i,e
paid. The list includes ice cream a
well as coca-cola and other so it
diinks. There are some drinks not
taxable as follows: Hot beef tea.
coffee, tea, buttermilk, milk, hot
chocolate, hot clam broth, tomato
bouillion, and bottled drinks sold iP.
rcct from the container. Separate
manufacturers' taxes are imposed on
drinks of the latter class. The tax
of one and two cents above explained
is added on to the usual price ol
those drinks, so that a five cent
drink now will cost six cents. Ice
cream is not taxable when sold m
containers to be carried away from
the selling place to be eaten. Ice
cream cones are taxable. Bromo
seltzer and other similar medicines
often sold at soda fountains are not
subject to the tax. Restaurants, or
other places, serving ice cream 01
soft drinks as an incidental feature
of the business are not required c<
collect or pay the tax. Church
"sociables" and clubs are exempt
but booths at county fairs, shows or
ball games must collect the tax.
Monthly returns must be made to
I). C. Heyward, Collector, Columbia,
S C., by every soda fountain pro
J prietor, and daily records, must l?f_
kept by cash register or otherwise.
If the proprietor has no register ho
is advised to keep his tax ponnieseparate.
A retailer in stating the price o!
an article must give its actual sell
ing price and the tax cost extra. H
j cannot state a price which includes
the tax. Careful records have to Ik
kept. Returns for this tax must b?
made by the last day of the month
j following the month for which tin
return is made. For instance the
business for May must be reported
i by June uOth.
j These examples were given of
taxable drinks when mixed and soh.
! at the fountain for consumption on
, tl.e premises:
"Orangeade, lemonade, pineapple
j juice, coca cola, root beer, moxie,
I phospates, fruit and flavoring
| syrups mixed with carbonated water
or plain water, milk shakes, malted
milk shakes, cream and egg shakes,
ice cream sodas, sundaes, ice cream
sandwiches, flavored ices."
?o
The Victory Bonds must be sold
or the war debts must be paid by j
taxation and, if it should be necessjirv
to low heavier taxes, the sol
diers returning from France would
share in the burden of paying them.
PARIS NOW SEES
END 9F DISPUTE
The Italian delegates to the peace
conference who left Paris almost
abruptly when the members of the
council of four representing Great
Dritain, France and the United States
refused to grant Italy's full
claims to Fiume and the Dalmatian
coastal regions have been invited to
come back to Paris and resume their
e ' piaces in the peace conference.
^ 1 Paris disnatches assert that bv
v i - 1
t reason of this invitation it is believed
the Italians will return to the French
,t capital and that the negotiations
h over the disputed points will begin
i, again where thev were left off.

<, French and British diplomats in
r Rome for several days have boon discussing
the controversy with Prenuer
Orlando and Foreign Minister
s Sonriino in an endeavor to straighten
I out the tangle.
THE HOEEY HERALD, CON^i
SAMUEL GO^PERS ^
STANDS BEHIND
VICTORY BONDS
Samuel Gompera, for many years
head of the labor moretnent in the
United States and at present one of
the leaders of the labor movement at
the Peace Conference at Paris, urges
labor, both organized and unorganized,
to support the Victory Liberty Loan.
He says in part:
"The Victory Loan is the forerunner
of a happier state of society, a
guarantee of peace and tranquility of
the world, tho hope of a better day
and a brighter light. I heartily join
with my fellow citizens in urging
every worker and every organization
of workers to take part in this splendid
effort to finance our democracy's
peace with the wealth and savings of
all our people. Invest your savings
made safe by the Victory of our
arms."
COUNTRY HOLDS
THIRDJf GOLD
Tremendous Guarantee BacK or tvery |
Bond Issued by United States to
Pay Its War Bills.
Gold is the basis of all credit The
United States is now about to enter
a fifth great popular campaign for the
sale of government bonds to the citizens
of the nation. America has contracted
more than $5,00<).0OO,u00 of
debt since last November in paying
war bills, and this m?nev must be raiB"d
by the people.
Every reader of this paper knows
that United States government bonds
.ire the safest investment on earth.
Rut many of them do not, perhaps,
know Just how to explain their belief.
One of the reasons why United
States government bonds are the safest
investment on earth is that the
United States now possesses onethird
of the world's gold. This has
come about as a result of the war. It
had large gold holdings before the
fighting began in 1S14, but since then
the nations of the earth have been
forced to get needed supplies and
maintain trade relations.
The Federal Reserve banks do not
hold, probably more tjian two-thirds
of this nation's supply of gold, yet
they have in their rescrvos more than
one-half as much as the State banks
of the next fourteen tnost wealthy nations.
and abroad the State banks have
collected practically every gold piece
that the people possessed.
