Business Privilege
Tax Protested.
To the Editor of The Star:
I read with interest in your paper
that our legislators for the District of
Columbia were including in the appro-
priation bill again the business privilege
tax, but were so kind as to raise the
exemption to $4,000 instead of $4,000,
thereby saving the businessman all
of 81.
This is the most vicious piece of
class legislation ever foisted on a de-
fenseless public. Why should man
in business have to pay it?
am in the retail ice business. Twenty
years ago we bought ice at the same
price We are paying now, and we are
selling at the same price as then, and
yet we now have numerous license fees
to pay, besides the unemployment COM
pensation, old-age pension, workmen's
compensation and other taxes, all of
which have of necessity had to be
absorbed by the owner of the business
because competition keeps prices low.
The same thing applies to the retail
coal trade, only the wholesalers there
have reduced our margin so that We pay
their taxes as well as our own. Our
only defense as I see it is to get out
of business. What would you suggest?

be the handiest weapon, in view Of
the fact that the Revenue Depart
n.ent head plans mis- campaign on
the very solid foundation of "better
and broader highways, while Mr..
Broughton during the last General
Assembly grew eloquent to a de-
gree in opposing diversion before
the finance committee OF the 1889
legislature.
But, in view of the twelve and
a half per cent increase in Revenue
division receipts for the first quar-
ter of the current fiscal year, it be-
gins to appear that there is no
chance of any diversion under the
contingent provision of the rev.
enue act; and if there is no danger
of actual diversion it is going to
be next to impossible to work up
any real enthusiasm for an anti
diversion campaign plank.
There remains the possibility,
however, that Mr.. Maxwell will
call for removal of the "contingent'
provision which permit diversion Elf
and when, on the grounds that this
provision keeps tied up at all times
money which the commissioner will
sum of something over $4,000, 900,
likely contend could be well used on
the loads right now.
