Mercantile Tax Law.

The new mercantile tax law
makes a radical departure from the
old law, and business men will be
affected differently. Under the old
law merchants were divided into
classes and taxed accordingly. Thus
merchants swearing they did not do
business of 81 900 per annum were
not taxed at all. Those doing from
s., 900 to S., 900 paid 81 tax; from
$1,000 to $40, 900, paid $40 tax;
from $40, 900 to $4,000, paid SI2.-
so; from SIS, 900 to $40. 900, SIS
tax, and so on up to the highest
class, which was a business of 5000 :
900 and upwards, for which the tax
was $500. Under the new law
classes are abolished entirely and
every retail vendor must pay a
mercantile license of 81, and I mill
additional on every dollar of bust
ness done. The wholesalers must
pay tax of S. and a half mill ad-
ditional for every dollars worth Of
business done. When the matter
was discussed in committee at Har-
risburg it was claimed that the small
corner grocer, doing a business of
from 81 900 to $4,000 annually.
under the old law had to pay a
mercantile lax of from 3 to 7 per
cent. on his sales, while the mer-
chants doing a business of from
$50, 900 up would only pay from d
to I mill on their business. This,
it was stated, made the old law I'm
just to the small merchant, because
of the grading of the tax, and gave
all the advantage to the big stores.
Under the new law, the merchant
doing a business of 81 900 must pay
s., and one mill on the 1000 of
sales, making total of So, where
he formerly had to pay 81. The
merchant doing $500, 900 of bust
ness, under the old law, had to pay
$500, Under the new act his mer-
camille tax will be $3o2. The
change in this legislation means
that the small dealer, even if he
does less than ST. 900 business, must
pay 81, besides few cents in mill
age, while the big merchant will
have to pay large increase. When
the bill was originally introduced
