ASKING RETAILERS
TO SUPPORT BILL
Act to Tax Mail Order Houses Il
Being Presented Here for
Approval Of Merchants.

The retailers of Keokuk are being
visited by representatives OF trade
journal at Des Moines. asking them
to support bill which will be brought
up in the future in which tax will
be asked for mail order houses. This
bill Is fostered by one of the Illinois
delegation.
The arguments which are being pre-.
scented to the merchants in favor OF
the bill are that the mail order houses
don't repair streets, or build bridges
or sidewalks Or anything OF that sort
with the money they take out of the
town. If they insist on taking money
out of the town it is felt that they
should be made to pay tax the same
as the home merchants do.
This proposed bill provides for
taxation of the mail order and, cata-
logue houses in its various features.
