Tobacco Peddiers. Lock Out!

There are several persons peddling
tobacco around Mexico who proba-
bly, do not know of the new tariff
law regarding the same. The tax
on manufactured tobacco in the new
tariff law is the same rs it was before,
namely, 6 cents a pound. But the
farmer who sells PLAIN leaf of his own
growth and raising does not have to
pay any tax at all. If he twists it,
or puts it through any sort of ma
nipulation before selling, it becomes
subject to the tax on manufactured
tobacco. If he twists it or fixes ii
up in any other way for his home
use he does not have to pay any tax.
Retail dealers in leaf tobacco must
pay the tax Of 6 cents a pound on
the leaf tobacco they sell, but by a
Treasury decision just given out they
can get rid of their old stock without
paying the tax by selling it TO any
registered dealer in leaf or by selling
1t for export.
