SENATOR RUDD TO COLLECT
 ON UNINCORPORATED BUSINESS

State Tax Commissioner Blodgett has announced the appointment of Senator Malcolm D. Rudd of Salisbury to have charge of the collection of the tax on unincorporated business which was lev jed by the 1921 session of the legislature. A tentative survey by the commissioner shows that a force of at least 35 men, one for each senatorial district, will be needed to work under Senator Rudd in ities required to collect the S1,00O, ,000 a year which the new tax is estimated to be capabzle of producing.
 Senator Rudd was asked just after adjournment of the legislature to take the place, but on account of the press ure of his business was unable until now to accept. He is the treasurer and gen. eral manager of the Holley Manufactur- ing Co.,, of Lakeville, pocket cutlery makers.
 The new law puts a tax of one mill on every dollar of gross income received by retail mercantile establishments, and manufacturing concerns that are not in- corporated and a tax of 25 cents on every S1,000 of gross income of unin- corporated wholesale houses received ir business conducted in this state. A min | imum tax of S5 is to be collected from all businesses falling within the intent of the law. This will take in merchants such as peanut vendors and others. Com. panies doing both wholesale and retai business are to be taxed separately or
 the different departments at the rate: stated above.
 1 Companies and partnerships liable t
 pay the tax are required to file return!
 with the tax commissioner and in tn
 case of concerns not keeping books, tn commissioner is authorized by the bi.
 to fix a presumed gross income and as sess it at the given rates. The right o
 appeal to the commissioner for a specia
 assessment and from the commissioner decisioin to the superior court is give
 by the bill.
 It is required that the initial return
 be made for the first business year prio
 to June 1, 1922, and annually after that
