The Barnes shelter exemption bill Is out of tho running and two brand new sales tax bills will make their debut In the house this afternoon. This Is the latest dope smuggled out of the leg islation and rules committee room late today. The three percent sales tax provis ion of the Barnes bill was what sounded its death knell, It Is said. It had all those who balked at Che general two percent tax on Its neck, and also those who held two percent as the limit. The $1500 shelter ex emption was another bone of conten tion. Some thought It too high and others thought It too low. One of the two new bills now un dergoing final churning In the com mittee room around the corner, Is similar to the general sales tax de feated In the special session. The other one provides for a whole sale tax of one half of one percent; a service tax of one percent and a retail sales tax of two percent. The highlight of this bill la that no tax will be collected on personal property the theory being that the proceeds for tho direct tax or personal pro perty tax Is entirely disproportionate to the amount of personal property Cf .J- $4-95 $.95 Double Vote Day St. Silk Dresses Winter styles In to $12.90. 77' 79 Silk Dresses For street, party Values to $230. spring. 77' Sport Coats Values to $19.75 in sport coats. $-.79 necks, skirt. $f .88 $.88 styles prtoe 55 Smocks Plain colors and $0.05 to 19 Km Coolie Coats Regular $1 05 wool Chains and Rayon Coats.

Under the "service tax" provision of the bill will fall the services of lawyers, doctors, realtors and others. Just where service ends and salsj commences may be disputable, ac cording to a lawyer working on thj bill. But the bill provides that where the value of tangible property represents less than 20 percent of the nale price It Is classed as service aruft taxed at one percent Instead of two, under the act. :g powder; SAME PRICE totUui AS 42 YEARS AGO.
