gi THE NEW WAR TAX. m
e e e T e ee e e e
Of moving interest to all business
men of the ceuntry, whether they
are owners of a general merchandise
business in a remote hamlet or the
manager of a metropolitan depart
ment store, is the use of the war
tax stamp and the special lax stamp.
The war tax, of which the stamp
is the certificate of payments, is in
reality an emergency tax to meet a
deficiency im the income of the
United States government. The pre
sent war in Europe has caused a de
crease in the nation's imports.
There is a corresponding shrinkage
in the governmont's tariff and im
port duties tha! must be met. The
present war tax imposed therefor
commenced December Ist, 1914 and
expires by limitation December, 31,
1915.
The special tax is an annual tax
at fixed rates and is similar to a
city or state license.
The part that will be of the most
interest to the readers of the Mari
etta Journal follows:
