TAX THE “DRUMMER” PAYS
A Considerable Item In Commercial
Traveler’s Expense Account in
Host European Countries.
Three or four drummers, says
Comfort, had engaged in a warm
discussion over the bane of the
drummer’s existence on the road,
the “drummer’s tax”—not so bad
as it used to be, however, when
small towns all over the country
levied tribute on every traveling
man who visited them.
“Bv Jove,” said a man from a
New York silk firm, “you ought
to try it over on the other side.
What they do here isn’t to be
spoken of in comparison. Here
it is merely a small local matter.
Over there it is national. At least
it is for any of us who come from
foreign countries. In Denmark,
for Instance, there is an annual
tax of $42.88 if a man represents
one house and half that for each
other house represented. In Nor
way you have to have a trade pass
good for 30 days, costing $26.80.
France is easier atid you don’t
have anything but a business
passport, which costs no more
than you want to pay. In Hol
land you have to have an indus
trial tax receipt, which costs six
dollars. In Sweden the price is
the same as in Norway, $26.80,
and if you try to get out of it you
will catch a fine of from the price
of the trade pass up to $184, and
they are strict about it, too.
“In Austria you have only to
show a proper trade license and
in Switzerland a business pass
port. They don’t cost any more
than you want to give up to the
chaps who let you have them. In
Russia the price is $25.75 as trade
tax and $5.15 extra as a communal
tax. And if you are a Jew you
don’t want to go to Russia to sell
goods. You may be all right, but
Russia doesn’t like that kind and

tax’ on Jews up to .$275.50, be
sides the communal tax of $5.15.
England’s the place, though,
where you want to go. That’s the
great free trade land and you can
go anywhere and everywhere and
sell to anybody and everybody and
never pay a penny. They are so
free over there that, by Jove, you
almost feel like asking the coun
try to pay you a few hundred a
year just because you are there.”

English Royal Commission Reports
That Danger of Typhoid Infec
tion Has Been Exaggerated.
The English royal commission
on sewage disposal has issued a
report that should tend to allay
the frequent “oyster scares”
caused by the assertion that shell
fish are polluted and made unfit
to eat by typhoid germs. They are
of the opinion that there is not at
present exact knowledge warrant
ing such sweeping measures as
the compulsory purification of
sewage before discharge, for there
is nothing, they state, in the ap
pearance of shellfish to distin
guish those which have been ex
posed to sewage contamination
from those which have not been so
, exposed.
The denial of the validity ol
bacteriological examination as n
test is very important, for this
test has rested on the assumptior
that the bacillus coli communis, oi
other allied organism, does nol
normally occur in the oyster. Over
1,000 oysters taken from the pm
est waters and from beds obviously
liable to pollution were examined
' and the bacillus coli was found h
nearly all of them, from whatevei
laying they were taken, though af
a rule a very much smaller nurn
her of bacilli was found in those
from pure than in those fron
polluted waters. The commis
sioners say:
“If it should be seriously con
tended that the mere presence o
bacillus coli, orcolilike microbes
in an oyster should condemn it
few oysters would probably es
cape condemnation.”
p^Concerning the possibilities o
the communication of disease b;
shellfish, they state that there is i
prima facia probability that ai
times living typhoid bacilli migh
be conveyed by shellfish to the con
sumer and produce enteric fever
experience confirms their viewi
that the extent to which the ill
ness is actually conveyed eanno
be determined, the present stat<
of knowledge on the subject no
making it possible to make an ac

I KEYSTONE OF Mgj
Kimball Piano
| STRUCTURE. ! $
» -
The szale of the Kimball Piano is the keystone of its urisurpassazle quality, Ihe founda*
0 tion of its great musical worth, the cause of its popularity with artists and musician*. Perfect
1 piano scale-making is a mathematical problem figured out by sound waves to the merest fraction
ofasezontt. Not all piano makers strive for perfection along this line (many making no pre
tense). but out of the few' who have nearly reajhed the goal,
Kimball is Prominent. |||
One of the most perfect musical scales is displayed in the zultivated human voice. An
I inperfuct scale piano is like a person who cannot sing correctly—it’s worse because all do not
jlaim to sing. It costs money to cultivate the voice, it costs more money to perfect a piano
scale. The cost to produce a perfect Kimball scale has been no less than that of of her of )he
recognized artistic pianos of the world, yet because of the advantages of the largest output
from any factory, we are able to sell the Kimball at a very moderate price, quality considered
The Kimball System and easy payment plan brings it within reach of all.
