Blood Thursday of last week. The act was effective on approval, and technically became law with its filing in the office of Milton H. Welling, secretary of state, at 6 p. m. the same day. The new law provides that uthe vendeor may, tf he sees fit, collect the tax from the vendee, but in no case shall he collect as tax an amount (without regard to fractional pa1ts of one cent) in excess of the tax computed at the rates prescribed In this act." While this, and particularly the phrase in parenthesis, is regarded as permitting the addition of one cent to any purchase no matter how small, the bill also requires that in case the amount collected by a merchant as sales tax shall actually exceed 2 per cent of his sales for the month, the excess shall be paid over to the state, as well a.s the full 2 per cent. The panalty for violation of this provision is a maximum fine of $1000 or a six-month jail sentence. or both. The main reason for the new act was to raise revenues for conduct of the state's campaign in cooperation with that of the national government, looking to industrial recovery. For such purposes a fund of ~2,000,00() annually wa.s desired, a.nd it is surmised that the 2 per cent sales tax will raise about that amount. Under the new law sales of tangible personal property are exempt only if for resale. Materials and things that become s.n integral part of the manufactured article are not SUbject to the tax when sold to the manufacturer nor a.re the containers in which the manufactured product is sold Under the old law, freight charges were taxable, as were street car These are specifically ex· fares. empted under the new law. R. H. Butler, secretary of the Utah State Retailers' association, said that the men's clothing store groups have devised a tentative bracket plan pend· ing final adoption of some uniform plan by all retailers. "It is the hope of the retailers." said Mr. Butler, "to work out some plan to avoid the confusion and dissatisfaction which developed under the former tax, when the food stores had one plan and the dry goods stores another. "The state tax commission interprets the law•to mean that the merchant is allowed to collect at least 1 cent on each purchase, no matter how small, but the new law also provides that if merchants collect any (Continued on Another Page) raise a litter of pigs, nursed them by hand when the mother 1 offer fanners 20 cents a bushel this sow became sick eight days fall and either 8 or 10 cents a bushel after the litter was born, and , next spring on an allotment of 54 continued to raise them to the five-year per cent of the average past point where they could be enterproduction, in return for acreage reed for sale in the Salt Lake duction pledged, Director William Union Stockyards production Peterson, manager of the agriculcontest and made a sale of the tural adjustment admini stration for litter.
