PROPOSES A TAX ON

London, April 11.-When Stanley
Baldwin. chancellor Of the exchequer,
introduces the budget in the House of
Commons next Monday, it is reliably
reported that he will propose n tax on
betting which means that Great Brit
aims horse industry will be officially
lesalized. For generations the chan
cellors have looked with envious eyes
upon the enormous amount of money
changing hands daily on the race
courses, but owing to the fact that it
has never been recognized as legal
practice and to the further fact that
betting debts are not recognized in
the courts. the government has been
unable to impose tax on bets. Even
though betting on races is INDUCED in
by fully three quarters of the British
population it has never been called a
moral occupation. ...........-.....
Now Mr.. Baldwin, according to re-
ports, intends looking upon betting
broad-mindedly. putting into effect le-
galizing machinery and registering
every bookmaker in the country. there
after making the bookies pay the gov
ernment small amount on each bet
transacted. Estimates place the
revenue from this new source at S1O,-
100000 annually. This seems optimis-
tic, especially in view of the fact that
the government will be brought into
contact with the trickiest element of
the people, the horde of bookmakers
probably finding some means of avoid
ing tn etaxation. From the viewpoint
of the race course such legalization
will be welcome as anyone familiar
with race courses knows how frequent
ly the bookies decamp without paying.
Religious bodies assail the. proposal
as the recognition of something un-
clean, but the country's financial
straits make necessary taxation of
every available source. Its proponents
argue that betting from a moral view
point is on the same level as taking
out an insurance policy, the insurance
company being nothing more than a
super bookie. Whether it is immoral
or moral they claim that its recogni-
ton does not make it any more i'm
moral. Conservative opinion favors
the plan because it amounts to taxing
one of the greatest of Injuries.
