TOBACCO IN STEMMERY
HELD TO Be CAPITAL
City's Revenues Again Swatted by
Unfavoral,le Decision Of Court
On Tax Question.
THROWS OUT CrTY's VIEW
Judge Scott Decides $2.423,547 Worth
of Export Tobacco Company's Stock
on Hand Is Not Tangible Property,
but Must Be Chased as Intang ible.

Judge r. Carter Scott, of the City
Circuit Court. yesterday rendered a
decision in the case of the Export
Leaf Tobacco Company against the
Commonwealth OF Virginia, which will
seriously affect the revenue Of the
city of Richmond. In this case the
city is deprived of about 100000
worth OF taxes.
The question that arose in oonnec-
tion with the litigation was whether
tobacco which has been purchased
by the company for its business could
be considered as capital and as such
taxable to the State al intangible
personal property. The city contend
ed that It was tangible property. on
which Richmond would draw the
largest revenue.
Tobacco to the gross value of ST.
42S,547 was held In the stemmery Of
the tobacco company here, and this
was regarded as capital by the State,
subject TO q tax OF IS cents, and q
rate not moro than 80 cents on tho
500 70 the city.
THIS was opposed by the city on
the grounds that the tobacco could
not DO considered az capital OF the
company. and declaring that under
the tar laws agricultural products
were exempted from such classifica-
ton. The State. however. contended
that while the tobacco was not a
manufactured article. It was to be

THOUSAND MERCHANTS

Remarkable Showing Brought Out in
City Auditors Statement to
Board OF Aldermen.
ALDERMEN PASS LICENSE Bill
Measure Practically Same as That Re-
ported Out OF Finance Committee,
Amended Only to Reduce Tax After
$500, 900 Limit Is Reached.

An ordinance taxing the purchases
of Richmond merchants, in order to
secure to the city revenue lost when a
ruling Of the courts declared the s1.40
capital tax illegal was passed by the
Board Of Aldermen yesterday. The
board considered the situation from
all sides, and arrived at what they
declared is the only possible solution
TO the problem
The original ordinance AZ presented
provided for taxing Of merchants' pur-
chases in a uniform scale, oommensu-
rate with the amount of purchases
made. A tax OF IS thousand on
the first $4,000 of purchases, with a
subsequent tax Of 81 per $1,000 for all
in the measure a. reported ont of
committee. but An amendment was
offered by Mr.. orundy and approved
by the board, making the tax - per
$1,000 for all purchases above $4,000
UP to $500. 900. and for all purchases
above 100000, 81 per $1,000 to be
paid.
Mr.. Fuller was strongly opposed to
placing the tax OF IS for the hrst
$1,000 purchases, as the original ordi-
nance stated. claiming that 1t was
impossible for any merchant to con-
duct business with only $1,000 pur-
chases per year, and that these mer-
chants were not declaring the whole
amount Of their purchases. Mr.. Cren-
shaw, the city auditor, reported that
there were a thousand merchants in
the city who were buying goods each
year to the amount Of only $1,000 or
less, and Mr.. Fuller claimed that II
would be only Just to place . tax Of
$40 on them for these purchases. He
amended his proposal to $40 for the
first thousand dollars. but thts motion
was voted down.
Mr.. Crenshaw reported further that
there were 2.2b3 merchants in the
city. all told. and that besides the
thousand smaller merchants there
were about 400 whose purchases dfd
not exceed $4,000 per rear. To Mr..
Puller's claim that the small mer-
chants would not declare all their pur-
chases. Mr.. Workman replied that per-
haps that would be true for the nrst
year. but that when q thorough system
OF investigation had been installed q
full account OF all taxable reserves
would be had. After final discus
sion OF the ordinance. the board voted
unanirn osasiy in favor OF the whole
measure as amended.
