Mercantile License Tax.

State Senator Mitchell. of jefferson
county, who Is the chairman Of the Sen
ate Appropriations Committee Is merch-
ant, and for that reason is much interest
ed in the discussion relative 10 the new
mercantile tax law. lie has been engag-
ed in the mercantile business for more
than a score of years and j. therefore
familiar with the subject in all OF is de-
tails. wheE asked for an opinion upoa
the new mercantile tax law be replied:
''fn my o,.snson the provisions Of the
Law are 3e~. and equitable. Every
Thoughtful Ilss ibant hAs, been impressed
with the very great inequalities % the
old Law. For several years the small
stOrekeepers have been agitating the
question and in different parts Of the
State they are forming the the Anti-De-
psrtment Store Association for the par
pose Of equalizing the burdens Of taxa
ton 30 that the large merchant will have
TO pay tax In proportion 10 the business
he transActs. CuGer the present law a
merchant ho does \ business amount
/ ng 70 81. 90 a year pay . mercantile tax
of g. IL the larger merchant were taxed
at tie same rate on the amount OF bus;-
ness transacted. q $1,000 bosiress would
pay SO: slco,0o. s7os $1,000 600. s7,ooo.
and SIC, ,0oo 0o0, $1,000 annually. Under
the present law, however, the merchant
who does business of $40. .0o0, 900 annual
ly only pays 81 900 in tax This is 50 un-
fair that the mere statement of il carries
with il condemnation of the old law.
So far as / have been able to ascertain
the sentiment of the merchants generally
the new law Is favored when its prOvis-
ions are understood.
"The new law win affect but very
small proportion of the merchants in the
State. For instance. in tie city of Phil
adelphia alone there were 2I.2s5 mer-
! chants who paid a mercantile tax in
lssi- There is no difference in the rate
imposed under the new and old law up 10
$50.06. In the city Of Philadelphia D,
0i6 dealers do a business, As reported to
the Auditor General, Of less than 5000
q year. Nine hundred ana seventy-nine
do a business amounting 10 more than
$5o,oo0 a year. In other words, the new
law will not affect .. so6 dealers in the
city Of Philadelphia The rate will be in
creased on the remaining S7s dealers
But the increase is in tine line Of exacl
justice and equality. IL requires the large
dealer TO pay tax somewhat in proper
ton 10 the volume of business transacted.
The more the new lsg Is discussed aud
understood the more favor will it have in
the eyes Of the people"

GOT THEIR @suxrs.-
''Karoon." rearfuIly rhunpsd BY Berlin

The road from Berlin TO Somerset was
mighty long Friday night for the Ma
rooms and ..rooiers'' who had journeyed
across the county earlier in the dsy with
the svowed intention of wrestling sec
oDd victory from Berlin. In fact the
.MsroOns" were 80 confident of their
ability 10 best Berlin a second time
and had proclaimed their purpose 30 fre-
qGently aud loudly IN advance thai they
had some misgivings as TO how they
would be received after their crushing
defeat, and, therefore, skunk into town
under the cover Of night. A more thor
oughly dejected and humiliated ball
team would be hard to find
The credit for winning the game for
Berlin must be accorded 10 Red
Davis, whose work in the box was the
fastest the "Maroons'' ever run up
against Davis was on his own claim
and anxious u retrieve whatever pres
tege he had lost in the former game with
Somerset. and he went about his work
with grim determination that struck
terror 10 the hearts of his adversaries.
As the game proceeded Davis strength
and cunning seemed 10 grow and at times
he hurled the ball with the momentum
OF a runaway engine on a down grade,
with the exception that he kept perfect
control Of his machinery. Twice, thrice.
four times he caught the "N2rooEs'
with two slow drop balls, followed by
a swift inshoot- The faces ofthe Maroon
baiters when they were called out on
strikes would have been a profitable
study for a comic valentine printer.
Davis work with the stick, too, was
phenomiual. At one inncture of the
game with three men on bases he pound
ed out a home ran, bringing in four
scores. and the way his legs few over the
ground would have excited the admira-
ton Of starving grasshopper. The
long and the short Of il is that Red
Davis plays ball, good ball. winning ball.

charged To the "MarOons'- were inexcus-
