Buyer Must Qualify As

James Breathitt. Jr., deputy inter
nal revenue Collector tor this dis
trict. calls attention to the Federal
laws governing the dealing in tobac-
co as il would apply should Buy
a Hogshead' movement he seriously
undertaken in the tobacco districts.
Mr.. Breathitt states that the law re-
guires every person before he Is al
lowed to buy tobacco at all, to quail
fy as dealer, for tobacco can only
be sold to recognized dealers in to-
bacco or to manufacturers. Even If
IL could be bought the law prohibits
the selling or even giving away. of
all tobacco except by qualified deal
ers.
To qualify it is necessary to file a
statement with the revenue depart
ment and to pay a tax ranging from
Sc to S24 under the war revenue
measures recently enacted 1t is
also necessary to keep set of books
rs provided by the Government ana
make regular reports to the revenue
department.
Mr.. Breathitt says he required the
First National Bank to qualify as
dealers after they had bought their
hogshead of tobacco, in order to
avoid possible complications.
Il. +. Cooper. speaking for the
tobacco men. while giving full cred
it to the local bank for its generosi-

farmers, says that the Buy Hogs
