Petition Drives Repeal of Soda Tax After 1919 Act
The text promotes repeal of Section 630 of the 1918 Revenue Act taxing soda water ice cream and related items. It describes 1919 as the turning date when soda fountains became revenue collectors and urges readers to sign a petition and mail it to Congress with a coupon, naming their congressman. The piece cites general public impact and calls for reform, framing the tax as unfair and hard to collect.
