THE GENERAL STRIKE.

INTRIGUING PROBLEM OF THE BETTING TAX.
CONFLICTING VIEWS.
NJ
Under the prospective betting tax a great number of problems have arisen and are being debated. The most intri guing of these is the question:-
Is the double to be regarded as one of twright That is, will it be taxed anci or trice?
In one official quarter I was informed that both parts of the bet would be taxed, writes the Political correspondent of the Evening Standard-

On the other hand, the Turf Guardian Society is under the impression that the answer is that "double" is a single bet. The view which the authorities have taken, as they thought, is that the 5 per cert. thx is leviable only on the initial; stake,
This interpretation would anturally be welcomed by the bookmakers. It is argued that a doubia is one bet de- pendeat on two events. and that there never was any idea of taxing the nominal proceeds of the first portion of the bet.
