The Revenue bill which Congress
has been co 4idering for some months
past, will probably become a law
within a few days. The bill contains
provisions for increased taxes on ci-
gars, cigarettes, tobacco and snuff,
and on distilled spirits, wines, cordi-
ais, etc., which are held and intended
for sale on the effective date of the
act. Every person or firm who on the
date the proposed bill becomes law,
holds for sale any cigars, cigarettes,
tobacco or snuff, distilled spirits,
wines or cordials, must prepare an in
ventory of their entire stock on hand.
This stock will be subject to addi-
tional taxes. In the case of liquors
there is no exemption allowed and
tax must be paid upon the entire
stock. In the case of cigars, cigar
cites, tobacco and snuff, there is an
exemption provided for which will be
allowed only in case the required in
ventory is filed with the Collector of
Internal Revenue Immediately. The
Internal Revenue Office has complete
list of all dealers in liquors, but it has
not a complete list of all persons and
firms dealing in cigars, cigarettes, to-
bacco, etc. Any person or firm en-
gagged in business selling cigars, cigar
cites, tobacco. etc, who does not re-
ceive an inventory blank from the Col
lector of Internal Revenue, on or be-
fore the date the bill is passed,
should write to the Collector asking
that he be mailed the proper blank.
