Complaints Voiced by Retail Merchants at Meeting in this City Yesterday.

A largely attended meeting of tbeJRetat-il Merchants’ Association was held in the Board of Trade IRuoms in this city yesterday morn.- ing.

It was called to consider the proposed amendment to the Feder- al Tax Act whereby it will ‘be nec- essary that a receipt be given for every cash sale of over $10.00 and that a two cent stamp be placed on such receipt

After a/fuil discussion it was unanimously decided that this pro- posed tax would be imposing a great deal o/f work upon everyone who has to give receipts," and it would ire even rnore cumbersome to the ‘people of Canada than the late Luxury-Tax. ilt is interpret- am] which forced thorn to time out ed to mean. ithat every cash unis, manufacturer's license and he credit saile sliip of over $10 miust be cabled nmmrfrtoturois, but who stamped and that tho cash register, were not to be allowed to be taxed system now in existence tihroarnh- in the same manner as manufact- outt Canada will be seriously 111- ureirs.

Tihe opinion of the meeting was that the Bales Tax should ho col- lected at the source of supply from the manufacturer and the import- er and from as few channels us possible, so as ‘to save annoyance and expense in the collection of same. _

What the Retail Merchants have alivays contended for. it was point- ed out, was a clear, distinct Sales Tax Aict. one that could be easily understood and easily followed, and one lihllll. would not be applied to every smmll retail merchant in the country who sells soft drinks or makcs a. few home-mode candies or current bread or pastry, or other like small articles for sale,
