J REGARDING SOFT DRINK ARE .AGAINST IT Point Out In Communication Sent j To Washington That It Would Be Unjuil ?nd Work Hardship nm.**-- * Anderson cov.nty bottlers and tbose gentlemen engaged in this coun. ty 'n tbe enterprise of manufacturing | soft drinks have, become much arous ed, over the fact' that congress is con. j siuerlng the matter of placing a tax ' on all soft drinks and bottlers of that ommofiity. The dealers in Anderson yesterday were busy in mailing out letters to the congressmen and sena tors in Washington with whom they are personally acquainted. They-mail ed dozens of these letters during the day and they believe that the Ander son letters will get some results. These letters were sent to Hoke Smith. T. W. Hardwick and a number ot other prominent southerners. The following is a copy: "The papers have been publishing | stories to the effect that congression al action ls contemplated looking to] thc Imposition of a tax on soda water for the purpose of helping out the loss of revenue caused by the war in Europe; ar.d it is in this regard that j 1 write you this letter. A tax of one- ] eighth of 'a cent per bottle has been mentioned, and I' say to you In all fairness that the Imposition ot this amount would be confiscatory on tifa i bottling business if the bottler waa compelled to bear lt, and would be paid by the small merchant'if the bottler was compiled to raise the pri?e. Another thing: the standard package of bottled soda water ls a crate o? 2 dozen, bottles. If the bot tler can realize,,a .net profit of iOc per crate on bia product, he ls making about the maximum profit. You can readily see what parentage of the bot tler's small profit such a tax would take; and tni3 fellowing bis increased j COS? ."Sf prCd5Ct;0<V C?TI?CU "J tho iwr, vance in the price of sugar and other items which ar? nesssary to Lim In j tbe prod ut ion oi his goods.
