LUXURY TAX WILL NOT AFFECT LOCAL BUSINESS, BELIEF HERE

Opinion prevails among Richmond merchants that the luxury tax embodied In the last revenue bill will be repealed by the next session of congress. The bill will go Into effect i

May 1 but will not effect Richmond business, merchants say. People in Richmond have never been so willing to buy as they are at the present time, it is said. They do not seem to bother about high prices. The bill provides for a ten per cent tax on specified articles over a certain sum. This affects high price materials most and those persons who can afford to pay high prices will not hcRltatn nvpr n amall vcar tax

Merchants here say that they believe the tax will not be successful but that the situation will be similar to that In France where a luxury tax was Imposed. The manufacturers rather than pay a few dollars in war tax, sacrifice a small amount on their goods In order to keep It under the price requiring a war tax. Local merchants said today they feel Vhere will be a universal protest against such a tax. There seems to be some uncertainty among local merchants as to just how the tax will be met, but it Is supposed that the manufacturer will put a price on his material ten percent higher than usual and himself pay the government The retailer will make his

price ten percent higher for the consumer to pay. The new luxury tax affects women perhaps more than men. Hosiery over $2 will be taxed ten percent so that a pair of hcse marked at $2.50 with the tax would be f 2.55. To the Individual this does not amount to much but In the aggregate will mean much to the government. Women have been given larger range for their hats than men. A woman can buy a hat for $15 without a tax but men cannot go over $5. Toilet articles are taxed 1 cent for each 25 cents or fraction thereof. Sleeping suits have been listed and pajamas will be taxed over $5, while bathing suits are not listed. There is an exception to the shoe tax and persons with deformed feet whose shoes must be made especially for them may escape the tax. Some of the luxuries which will bear a ten percent tax on every cent over specified sums are: Stockings, $2; blouses, $15; shoes, $10; fans, $1; carpets and rugs, per square yard, $5; picture frames and paintings. $5; traveling bags, $25; trunks, $50; underwear, $5; lamps, $25; Umbrellas and canes, $4; purses
