ton of a handful OF men. The vet

the association voiced their indigna-
ton and declared they would enter
strong protest with the Republican
National Committee.
such a proposition would be add
ing insult to injury" declared one
veteran OF the world war. We are
deprived Of our right to vote already.
and to take from US our quadrenniaI
privilege OF balloting for delegates
to the conventions OF the political
parties would be an outrage that

party can AFFORD to stand for. We
fought against autOcracy IN the Old

KEEPTAB ON ALL
luxury" TAXES
1t Will Save Money When
Time Comes to Pay
Income Levy.

Everybody should keep account of
the taxes he pays on ''Iuxuries" By
so doing. one may save himself money
when il comes to paying his income
tax to Uncle Sam. The so-called lux
ury taxes are called excise taxes and
are levied against musical instru-
ments. sporting goods. chewing gum.
candy. and on the finer kinds OF
clothes. furniture. leather goods and
the like.
Are these luxury taxes deductible
from the income tax one pays?
No. emphatically. NO. That they
are IS the belief in many quarters.
But they are deductible from the
amount OF income on which one pays.
Not only are these taxes deductible.
but all taxes paid on city. county.
State property and to the nation. are.
except the income tax itself and war
and excess profits taxes.
Now for the saving to the taxpayer.
If one buys a 5000 piano. and he pays
ST. additional as taxes. then the pur-
chaser has a right to deduct this
amount from the income on which he
pays.
One also has the right to deduct
the extra penny or two he pays on
a soft drink and the one cent he
pays on a Decent show ticket from
the amount Of income on which he is
taxed
There are certain taxes that must
be paid by the purchasers. and can
not be absorbed" by the seller This
is 10 per cent on rugs and carpets
costing more than s. a square yard
picture frames costing more than SO:
a trunk costing more than so: wom-
eD's hats costing more than SIS:
mems hats costing more than s.:
women's and misses silk Stockings
costing more than s.. and numerous
other articles not supposed to be nee
essaries.
Il is a good idea TO carry a led ger
Il your pocket. and keep account of
the luxury taxes you pay.
