The state Legislatures Of Connecticut,
Massachusetts, Illinois, New York and
other states Gin fact We have yet to note
any legislature In the Union which has
acted favorably), have refused to pass
measures specially taxing the large de-
partment stores, and we think very
properly, as by 80 doing they would be
treading on the very principles of liberty
IN which this government is founded.
The Prussian diet in Germany, however,
has grappled with this complex problem
and has just enacted a measure for the
repression Of the department stores in
the interests Of the smaller tradesmen.
The new law Classics articles of retail
trade in four groups. The first includes
groceries, liquors, tobacco and smoking
materials generally and drugs and per.
fumeries. The second group embraces
dry goods and clothing; the third furni.
ture, house utensils, stoves, glass and
earthenware, garden tools and the like
and the fourth group plated ware,
jewelry, art goods, paper and paper
goods, books, music, arms, cycles, toys
and optical goods. No store dealing in
articles belonging to only one group, no
matter how large its business, IL special
ly taxed. No small store dealing in
articles of two OF more groups lie
specially taxed. But all stores dealing
in articles belonging to two or more
groups, whose sales equal or exceed
400. 900 marks (about $780, OO) year,
must pay special tax, which increases
as the sales rise above the O,0O0 MARI
limit. The tax is a specific one and moi
ad valorem and is graduated to the gross
amount of business. It ranges from
about per cent. of the sales at OF nea,
the minimum limit Of 400, 900 marks, tc
2 per cent. OF the sales where they reach
1000 marks or over. Should the
tax exceed 20 per cent. of the net income
Of a department store, it may be reduced
in the discretion Of the state. The com.
mercial classes and radical parties have
opposed the enactment, tooth and nail,
believing that it foreshadows a general
attack upon commercial freedom. But
the reactionaries are jubilant and the
other small manufacturers are already
agitating for the extension of this prin.
ciple of state interference to the large
Touring mills and other manufacturing
concerns. The ministers of state see
the point and do not undertake to defend
the measure as permanent public policy.
DR. johannes Won Miguel, the Prussian
minister of finance, says it is designed
merely to give the small tradesmen q
breathing spell, in which they may Or
ganize associations for the purchase of
goods on as advantageous terms as the
department stores.
