ENGLlSHMEN ANGRY
AT TOBACCO DEALERS
Raise Prices zoe Pound in Excess Of
New War Tax Levied on
Business.

London May 20-(Corresp pondonce
Of the Associated Press The most
unpopular persons in England at pres.
ent are retail tobacco dealers. Thoy
are accused of the most brazcn stroke
of war prohteering that has yet been
achieved. The budget introduced last
week raised the tax on tobacco by for.
ty-four cents a pound. Thercupon al.
most all dealers announced a raise in
prices averaging on all forms Of to.
hacco about siXty-four cents pound.
Dealers take advantage of an extra
tax TO charge the customer the tax and
also an extra profit of twenty cents a
pound.
Consumers are Indignant, but as the
dealers generally hang together. con.
sumcrs have no remedy except 10 stop
using tobacco.
There Is an additional grievance, In
that a large proportion OF the tobacco
used In England is consumed by the
soldiers in training. on leave, or in
hospitals, and purchased by home peo.
pie to send 10 soldiers at the front.
Profits resulting from this increased
tax really work out at more than twen.
ty cents pound. because both the
tax and profit are charged on an TO.
bacco In stock which paid duty al the
old rate So that on the stocks on
hand when the duty was raised. the
dealers are making a new profit %.
siXtytour cents a pound.
The tobacco trade will make about
Sj5.o0oOO0 a year for collecting the
new duty, which Is expected TO yield
S3O,0000O0 revenue. according 10 the
estimates OF correspondent of the
Daily Mail He figures also that trad.
ers have about 44,OOO.OOO pounds IA
stock on which they will charge the
new duty 10 consumers. without hav.
Ing paid IL themselves.
