PRICES MORE THAN TAX

Washington. April 9.-Warning to
manufacturers or dealers against in
creasing prices of taxable = articles
more than enough to cover the tax
and misrepresenting the amount of
tax to the customer was given tonight
by Daniel c. Roper, internal revenue
commissioner, in an address before
group of Washington business men,
THE interest the government has"
he said lis that the amount of tax
shall be collected and that the price
of the article shall not be misrepre
scented to the purchaser so as to make
the purchaser pay a larger amount
than the actual price of the article
