LUXURY BUYING.
Luxury buying in New York is j
now going on at the rate of $1,200,
000,000 a year, judging by the
amount of luxury taxes—aggregat
ing $10,500,000 a month—which
are being collected by William H.
Edwards, United States collector of
internal revenue for Manhattan. In j
February, according to the collector,;
the Government received from his
office $2,000,000 more in luxury
taxes than was paid in any previ
ous month in the history of the de
partment. The receipts, he says, j
have been mounting higher and high-'
er for six months.
“What some people call the ‘orgy j
of spending’ has not exhausted j
itself,” said Mr. Edwards recently
to a representative of The Associ
ated Press, “but my men, in their
talks with merchants and others
who pay the great bulk of the taxes,
have been told that the ‘peak’ of
extravagance seems to have been
reached and that a period of re-:
trenchment is close at hand.
“We hear a lot about the income
and excess profits taxes which fall
due in the spring of every year and
about the hardships of meeting them. 1
but the fact is that the steadiest -
tax, and one which is least felt by
the public and of which we hear
very little, is the luxury impost.
The poorer chap who buys his girl
an ice-cream soda doesn’t grumble
at the penny or two tax any more
than does the rich youth who pre
sents his fiancee with a diamond
tiara or a touring car. Neither
misses it, as the item is so spiall
as compared with the expenditure.
“A king’s ransom was spent for
candy last December, but the big
gest revenue came from dealers in
jewelry, furs and automobiles. The
theaters showed in January they did
an unusually prosperous business.
When persons start to economize
they usually cut out amusements,
but in January, in the borough of
Manhattan alone, $783,891.43 was
paid in taxes. Multiply that by ten
and you will get some idea of how
much Father Knickerbocker and, his
gueses are paying to be entertained
at just the theaters. There are no
indications of any panic in these
figures. The man who said, ‘Always
be a bull on the great U. S. A.’
seems to be vindicated.
“An interesting thing about the
luxury’ tax is that more revenue is
being derived from ice-cream sodas
and other small sales which carry a
penny or two of tax bhan there is
from the sale of motor cars, dia
monds and other luxuries. Drug
gists paid a large sum on expensive
perfumes and cosmetics Every
manufacturer, producer or importei
is required to make such returns a:
will clearly show each taxable trans
action in the sale of certain goods
and these are verified by revenu
officers. Section 904 of the Rev
enue Act of 1918 provides that ‘o
and after May 1, 1919,' the tax o
10 percent shall be levied and col
lected on luxuries, including man
kinds of expensive articles in dail
use. In the sale of these article
the dealer acts as a collection ager
for the Government. Other taxe:
are paid in the form of stamps.
“One of the reasons for the fall
inp off in the receipts of income
and excess profits taxes this yeai
was the deduction which the tax
payer made for sums which he paic
to the Government for luxury, pro
prietary and other taxes. Here is
an illustration: Let us say that s
man takes his wife to the theatei
twice a week. He pays $6 eact
time he goes.for two tickets. Tht
tax on each of the seats is 30 cents
On four seats a week he pays $1.20
and in one year $62 40. He is
privileged to deduct that from hi'
net income before computing hi;
income tax. The same iu!e would
apply to any other ♦ax he may havt
paid to the Government during tht
year. A person, however, is re
quired to prove that he actually
expended the money for luxuries it
any question is raised on his re
turn There have been eompara
tively few attempts at evasion. Ir
fact, the amount received by trhis
office in luxury and other taxes i‘
a monument to the honesty of tht
majority of the people of this grea:
city.”
AMERICAN MINISTER
FINDS RENT IS HIGF
THE HAGUE.—The new Amen
can minister to the Netherlands
William Phillips, considers himself ;
victim of an instance of profiteerinj
in rent. A wealthy speculator ha
purchased the commodious buildinj
which for a long time was occupiei
by the American legation and ha
notified the American diplomat tha
he will either have to pay a great!
increased rent or move out.
The American charge d’affaire

With a large number of oldtimers
present to assist in the ceremony,
fourteen candidates were admitted
to the ranks of Nenana igloo. No.
17, Pioneers of Alaska, last night,
seven by transfer from other igloos
and seven by initiation.
Aside from the admission of new
members, the session was an unusu
ally busy one, due to the accumula
tion of much business of importance
since the previous meeting.
Following the reading of a jiro
test from Nome igloo, which was
(denied representation at the recent
■session of the grand igloo at An
chorage on a technicality, the Ne-j
.p.ana organization adopted a resoln-.
tion asking the grand igloo to right
the wrong done. Nome threatens
to withdraw from the general or
ganization as a result of the high
handed manner in which the grand
igloo session was conducted,
j A committee was appointed to as
Isist in the arrangement? for the ob
servance of Nenana’s special Mem
orial day, which has been set for
I next Sunday. Services are to be
held at the Coliseum during the
afternoon, following which a special
train will he run out to the ceme
jtery, carrying all who desire to as
sist in the decoration of the graves
of Nenana’s dead.
The members admitted last night
by transfer card were: Gustave
Schubert, John Quenboe, Martin
Martinson, Roderick Morrison, Will
iam J. Redmond, Harry Owen, and
\John Campbell. Those admitted by
.initiation were: John Patterson.
; Henry W. Martin, Adolph N. Nel
son, R. W. Calderhead, John Ber
nard. Thomas O’Leary, and Harry
