INDEPENDENT'S
BABY CONTEST.
Here is the proposition and the
rul s governing the contest:
There is a handsome $25.00
soli 1 gold locket with diamond
set ing and solid gold chain, on
display at the Palace Jewelry
sto 3, to be given away Decem
ber 24th, 1904, to the baby boy
or : irl under two years of age,
wh > wins the highest number of
vot s as the prettiest and sweet
est >aby. Now the baby that is
not pretty is surely sweet, and
if li e wee tot be a little cross at j
tin-*3, beauty must offset this i
bit tess. Fond parents at least
an expected to think their ba
bi- are both sweet and beauti
ft ind so they do. But to set
ti ice for all the claims of the
u:iii-r two, and put at rest this
rivalry of mothers and fathers,
the Independent has inaugurated
a contest that is to be determined
by that cherished right, popular j
ballot, and in accordance with
the following mles:
rap.y prize contest rules.
First No baby that has reach
ed the age of two years Nov. 1, |
1904, is eligible to this contest, j
nor shall any employe or party j
connected with this paper be eli
gible to vote.
Second Every issue of the
Daily and Weekly Independent
from November 1 to December
24, will contain a ballot entitling
[the holder to one vote in this
contest. For every dollar’s worth
of job, work, advertising and
subscription paid for between
these dutes a coupon good for ten
I votes will be issued, but no cou
i pons will be issued for sums less
than $1.00. Coupons will not be
sold, and will only be issued for
job, ad and subscrpition busi
ness, but extra copies of the In
dependent at 2 cents per copy,
each containing one ballot, will
be sold at this office.
Third—All votes must be sent
to this office and will be de
posited in a lock box, to be opened
at 8 o’clock each publication day
and counted. The daily issue of
that afternoon will contain the
total of the several candidates
and the public will thus be kept
informed of the voting each day.
Fourth—A committee of three
good business men will be select
ed to canvass the ballots the
morning of Dec. 24 and announce
the winner. All ballots must be
deposited at this office by 11 a.
m., Dec. 24, 1904.
Read the rules carefully.
TAX THE "DRUMMER” PAYS
_
! A Considerable Item in Commercial
Traveler’s Expense Account in
Most European Countries.
Three or four drummers, says
Comfort, had engaged in a warn#
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, whe»
small towns all over the country
levied tribute on every traveling
man who visited them.
“By Jove,” said a man from a
New York silk firm, “you ought
to try it over on the other side.
What thev do here isn’t to h#
| 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.
Prance is easier and you don’t
have anything hut a business
passport, which costs no mors
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 j
tax and $5.15 extra as a communal
tax. And if you are a Jew youj
don’t want to go to Russia to sell!
goods. You may be all right, but
Russia doesn’t like that kind and
shows it by pushing the ‘drummet
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 ths
great free trade land and you can
go anywhere and everywhere and i
■ell 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.”!

"Sir, I don’t think I Quit* catch tfct
drift of your remarks,” said the haughty
maid who sesmed to have suddenly de
veloped a case of refrigerator heart.
“Well, I teem to catch your drift, an
right, all right,” rejoined the young man
•rho had been trying to frame np a piw |
posal. “It teems to be something on ths
>rder ot a snowdrift.”—Chicago Daily
