$G5.OO Unlikely.

A mans suit costing less than $G5
is not likely to be taxed, in the opin-
ion Of Ludwig Stein Of B. Kuppcn-
hcimcr e Company. Mr.. Stein told
the joint conference OF the National
Association of Retail ClothierS and
tho National Association or Clothicrs
yesterday afternoon at the Hotel Nc
Alpin OF the meeting Of the clothicrs'
committee with the subcommittee OF
the House Way and Means Committee
at Washington August Q.
The clothiers pointed out to the
Legislators that suits selling at Sis.
$2 and $25 before the war were not
luXuries, but necessities. A suit cost
ing $15 in 1917 will sell this Fall for
$25, tho legislators were told, and
$35 next Spring. Ono costing $40
in 1914 will sell for $35 to $3S this
Fall and for from $15 to $4S next
Spring. Clothes that cost $25 four
years ago will bc priced at $45 next
Fall and at $50 next Spring.
Mr.. Stein said it had been the com
mittcc's intention to put tax on
clothing from $50 up, but when the
was explained to them he
believed no tax would be put on cloth
ing selling below $50 retail.
