TOBACCO DEALERS
UNPOPULAR ABROAD

London Correspondents OF the
Associated Press:J The most unpopu-
lar persons in England at the present
day are the retail tobacco dealers.
They are accused Of the most hrazen
stroke of war profteering that has yet
been achieved The budget introduced
last week raised the tax on tobacco by
a cents a pound Thereupou almost
an dealers announced a raise in prices
aEera g5uE on ali forms of tobacco
about 64 cents pound The dealers
take advantage OF an extra tax 70
charge the consumers the tax and also
an extra profit of 20 cents a pound
The consumers are indignant but as
the dealers generally hang together,
the consumers have no remedy except
10 stop using tobacco There is an
additional grievance JIG that large
proportion OF the tobacco used In Eng
land is consumed hv the soldiers In
training, on leave. or in hospitals. and
purchased by home people TO send 70
their soldiers at the front
The profits resulting from this in
creased tax really work out at more
than % cents pound, because both
the tax and profit are charged on all
tobacco in stock which paid duty at
the old rate So that, on the stocks in
hand when the duty was raised. the
dealers are making a new profit of
81 cents q pound
The tobacco trade VIII make about
$55,0000 o9 a year for collecting the
new duty which is expected 10 yield
100000 revenue, according TO the
estimates Of correspondent of the
Daily Mail He figures that the trad
ers have about 100000 pounds in
stock on which they will charge the
new duty 70 the consumers, without
having paid IL themselves.
