Ai DIG TAX IS NOT I Retail Men Will Urge Change in Present Me-thod of Collecting DELEGATION WAITS ON MINISTERS DEALERS WANT TO ADO MANU FACTURER3' TAX TO THE RETAIL PRICE Following a conference with officials of the government yesterday, the Retail Merchants' Association has decided to take up the question of the budget as it applies to the implement trade, directly with the federal government, through the Dominion secretary, stated F. Raymond, provincial secretary, who returned today from the convention held this week at Moose Jaw.

A strong delegation waited on Premier Martin. Hon. W. F. A.

Tur-aeon. Hon. Archie McXab. Hon. 8.

J. Lalta and Hon. Georga Langley, with! a request that legislation be enacted amending the present legislation, which would permit retail implement dealers adding on the manufacturers' tax' to their retail price. Under the present regulations, it was pointed out, the manufacturers' tax of one percent which amounts to practically ten percent of the gross retail sales profits, has to be absorbed in the general cost of doing business, by the retailer. This, considering that the retailers' margin Is already down to several points below the overhead, Is considered a hardship.

Under the Saskatchewan' Implement Act the wholesalers are required to list with the government the retail ar-d wholesale prices of implements and repairs, and in the case of repairs, the retailer Is not allowed to sell over the listed prices. The feeling of the meeting was. however, that nothing could be done in the provincial -now. A large number of amendments to the Implement Act are up for the legislature next session, stated Mr. Raymond, and it was suggested, that this could be included.

Those composlner the delegation were: F. E. Raymond, provincial secretary; S. T. McMicken.

re-elect ed president; W. P. Bell, vice-president; George Matheaon, Craik, sec-end Vice-president; Garfield' Wray, Reglna, honorary secretary; S. K. Fawcett Saskatavn.

L. McQuarrle. or ganiser for the north; O. W. Ander son, organiser for the south, and H.

T. Pizxy, secretary in the provincial office of the implement and automo bile men's trade section. Throuehout the convention waa a huge success, stated Mr. the best attended since inc. with 212 present The sectional meetings took hold from the start and proved a great Improvement over the old methods.

Resolutions passed by each section were brought into convention on the last day and adopted by the general meet- In. The provincial membership fee Is now raised to $20, he stated. It was felt at the convention that the association's work haa now extended so greatly that $20. a necessary, fee. Is not disproportionate.

In faoU some suggested that $25 would not be at all Raps Commercial Spirit of Clergy Of Present Day REOINA, June ,12 "We are developing a ministry that Is highly intellectual indifferently spiritual and damnably commercial." This statement was made today by Rev. H. Peppen, of Rockhaven. at the morning session of the seventh annual convention of Baptist churches in Saskatchewan. The convention approved of the action In raising the minimum in this province from $1,200 to $1,500 a year and a supplementary motion Instructed the board to raise the minimum i.o $1.00 as soon as the means can be found.

DN SCHOOL BURNED Retail merchants of Saskatoon are watching with keen anxiety the out come of the recent speech of Sir Henry Drayton In which he suggest certain amendments to the lux ury taxes which if adopted will to a certain extent IaU in line with their own suggestions made through the medium of "the Dominion Manufacturers Associations. Although not In favor of every Item of the proposed amendments the merchants consider that the proposed changes would have a certain beneficial effect upon trade in general, which to date has been considerably slackened since the inception of the luxury In view of the fact that the proposed changes are not yet law, none of the local merchants would consent tothav their remarks on the subject quoted, but the concensus of opinion aeems to be in favor of the amendments, except in cases where an extra five percent has been added to the tax in excess of the set minimum pries of the article quoted as a luxury. A movement had been on foot among the clothing merchants in Saskatoon to Influence the minister to tax onty the excess amount on a 146 suit of clothes.

Similar action was desired by the boot and shoe merchants, the tat to apply only to the excess amount on a 9 pair of hoes.

Others think that the object of the change will be defeated by the addition. Until the amendments become law the majority preferred to keep their opinions to themselves. Mr. J. II.

Anderson, collector of Inland Revenue, was. seen this morning and said that as yet he had not received any official notification of the changes from Ottawa. Until such time as he does ha will continue to work under the regulations as existent at present. "The response to the law requiring returns has been fairly satisfactory to date," he said. "Considering that this was the first month to make the returns.

I am receiving quite a number of returns and in some cases the payments are being made, with them. Although I advise all the merchants to keep accurate records of their sales as required under the law, 1 am not exacting payment just at present until 1 get more definite information on the subject. Returns will be required from May It whether the new amendments come into force or not." RETURN DUE TUESDAY Mr. Anderson pointed out that the next return from the retail merchants is due next Tuesday, that they are required en the first and fifteenth of the month. The manufacturers snd wholesalers are'requlred to make their return on the first of every month.

"My troubles are just beginning," Anderson added. "I am required to have lists of all merchants who would be liable to the tax in my area, and I can assure you that there are a large number of them. I shall have to check them over to make sure that they have sent in their re turns." "You may be sure that there win be some returns filled in Incorrectly and they will have to be returned with toe necessary Instructions. It means endless correspondence, but hearty co-operation on the part of all the retailers and manufacturers will fac ilitate matters wonderfully, and am positive that we shall have that.1 The proposed changes as outlined by the minister of finance are in brief as follows: (a) Boots and essential articles of clothing to be taxed IB percent on the excess instead of 10 percent on tbe total selling price.

At 9 o'clock Beakman was standing on the corner of Second avenue and Twentieth street, thinking what a dull world it was and wondering why nothing ever happened to him. Then something did in ths form of a chic and attractive young woman, who asked him coly if he'd like to have a little of the cup that cheers.
