FLAT CLOTHING TAX URGED
Ten Per Cent on AH Grades Is Idea
' of Prominent Tailor.
A flat tax "of 18 per cent on all grades
f clothing has been suggested by
Charles Coopey, of the National Asso
ciation of Merchant Tailors, in letters
to Oregon's representatives in Con
gress. The communication is written
as a result of a suggestion made by
C F. Wetzel, of New York, president of
the association.
"The Government proposal to tax
clothing above a certain value would
have a very detrimental effect on the
present and future clothing trade," he
writes. "A $20 suit may be a luxury to
one man. while a 0 suit represents
luxury to another.
The proposed tax would encourage
mills to make low-grade goods, a ten
dency we should avoid. A blanket tax
of 10 per cent would be fairer to all
alike and would raise more money for
the war."
