Elmer got trapped in a railroad

| Divided Dinner Check
| May Help Cafe Eaters
| To Escape Sales Tax

Sales Tax Administrator
Allen F. Brooke has ruled that
the total charge on a res
taurant check may be divided
by the number of persons
served and that the check is
not taxable if the average for
each individual is less than
SIPS.
The ruling, announced late
yesterday by Mr.. Brooke. stip-
ulates, however, that the 2 per
cent sales tax must be
charged on the full amount
of the check, If the tab aver
ages more than $l.25 per
person. 40
He declared individual
checks must be given to each
person served in a restaurant,
If requested. In that event,
Mr.. Brooke ruled, the amounts
may not be totaled and aver

Horace H. Edwards

Horace H. Edwards, As, young
est of the candidates for Governor
has been running for this job most
of his adult life.
He conf1des to audiences attend
ing political rallies that every
thing he has and all of his family
have been wrapped up in the
campaign now being waged, ever
since he can remember.
Born on a farm in Isle of Wight
County, he spent the first 18 years
of his life there. He went to
Richmond and worked during
summers to help pay tuition at the
University of Richmond. There
he took a law degree and began
practicing in the capital.
Elected to House at 30.
In 1888, at the age of 80. he was
elected to the House of Delegates
as member of the Richmond
delegation and served three two
year terms. AS city attorney
from 1888 until 1916. he reor-
ganized Richmond's legal depart
ment.
The City Council appointed MIN
Mayor in 1916 to fill an unexpired
term of two years. At that time
the city changed it's form of gov
eminent. For several years he
served as chairman of the State
Democratic Central Committee.
A newspaperwoman wrote that
he is nearly feet tall. broad
shouldered and virilely handsome
and has the glittering scrubbed
look a small boy occasionally
maintains for as long as three
minutes around dinnertime. He
dresses impeccably.
Has Countless Friends.
Affable and bright. he has
countless friends throughout the
State. He is a finished orator and
has a store of anecdotes for all
occasions.
Sometimes, during conferences
with visitors, he retires to an inner
Office to think over problems
alone. When he talks. whether
from a platform or while dictat-
ing. he gestures with a peculiarly
individual chopping arm motion
The Edwards campaign is based
upon a proposal that emergency
school construction be financed
by a State 2 per cent sales tax
It's strongest appeal is among
educators and rural residents who
would pay less of the new tax than
city folk.
Mrs. Edwards was formerly Miss
Mary Olive Lynch. They have
two daughters and one son. The
elder girl attends college.

You and the D. c. Sales Tax

Out of the welter of confusion
attendant on the District sales tax
has come the widespread, mis-
taken belief that Virginia resi-
dents buying in the District can
escape the levy simply by using
charge accounts.
Allan F. Brooke. head Of the
sales tax division, explained today
that even goods bought in the
District on credit are subject to
the per cent tax, unless deliv-
cred or shipped by the merchant.
An earlier Interpretation had
given Virginia credit customers
reason to believe they would not
be taxed on any purchases made
here.
| AS for Maryland customers,
things will rock along just the
same. District merchants have
been collecting a sales tax for
goods delivered to Maryland ever
since that State adopted such a
! tax two years ago.
FURRY in Nearby Stores.
Since no sales tax exists in Vir-
ginia, signs point to a furry OF
new business for nearby Virginia
stores after the District tax is
imposed next Monday.
But most of these Washingto.
mans soon will find the few pen
MES saved fail to match trans
portation and time lost and viii
revert to old shopping habits, taa
officials believe.
Those Virginians still using
charge accounts in the District
may ask for delivery of more ano
smaller articles. One large de-
partment store, for instance. pre-
| fers not to deliver packages
weighing less than two pounds OF
measuring less than 40 inches In
length and girth.
The question is whether these
stores will freely 60 along with
customers requests for delivery Oh
small items to Virginia.
Some of the Questions.
Here are some of the questions
the District sales tax staff is con-
fronted with on the Virginia
Maryland District relationship
and the answers being given:
@. Are Virginia and Maryland
vendors required to register with
the District assessor?
A. Yes, those vendors doing
business in the District, such as
operating branch stores and en-
ploying statesmen here, are re-
quired to file applications for
certificates of registration and
collect the tax.
@. May District residents legally
avoid the sales tax by shopping in
Virginia? .
A. To abide by the law. shop
pers bringing goods to the District
from Virginia must pay a tax
either to the merchant or a use
tax to the District.
@. What would be the pro-
cedure If a District resident
bought, for instance, a piano In
Virginia and ordered it delivered
to Washington?
A. The merchant usually would
collect the District tax just as
| District merchant would. and turn
it over to the District govern
ment.
