CHANGES DESIRED

BY Druggists and Others in the War
Revenue lava Revenue ofiIcial
Suggests How the Annoyance May
be Brought to an end.
In nearly every branch Of business
there is an energetic agitation for ma
teriaI changes in the war revenue law
at the next session Of Congress. condi-
tons have changed since the law was
enacted, and 1t is likely It will receive
many amendments The retail drug
glsts, especially. have objected to the
annoyances and expense entailed upon
them, especially the former. A move
ment is on foot to take away from the
druggists all this annoyance by placing
the tax in a lump on the manufacture
ers. The plan is thus explained by an
internal revenue official:
eat the present time three aud four
four times the amount Of the tax In
tended by the law is exacted from the
public. think the taxing Of total sales
will result in more revenue to the gov
eminent at less expense and will re-
lieve the retailer. jObber, wholesaler
and manufacturer of the present intri-.
cate and troublesome practice OF plac-
ing a stamp or stamps on every taxable
article when sold. The revenue law pro-
visions as to stamping proprietary
goods have played great havoc with re-
tail prices. 1 know it to be an actual
fact that because OF the stamp taxes
there is on many articles difference
of rs per cent in price. In
outlying towns and districts dealers
have also taken advantage of the
stamp tax to increase prices beyond the
amount of the tax. THUG imposing an
unjust burden upon the consumer. BY
a tax on gross receipts this evil would
be obviated. 1t would be SIMPLEX for
the government, and the question as to
what portion OF that tax should be
borne by the retailer. jobber or con-
sumer could be adjusted between them
and the manufacturer and wholesaler.
The present tax is ga per cent on re-
tail basis; my recommendation is that
It be IL per cent of the total sales,
placing 1t on a wholesale basis and
making the tax practically one-half
what 1t is at present. All extraordinary
details lead to expense and also give
an excuse for increased exactions on
consumers. In the course Of personal
Investigations have found peo-
pie ignorant of the laws re-
quIrements and grossly imposed
upon. I also know that large
manufacturers Of proprietary goods are
now ready to accept. as a recognition
of the taxing power Of the government,
tax on their sales. Such plan would
be simple. effective and free from the
abuses and troublesome methods Of
the present system Of taxing such ar
ticles."
