that would mean something

to It. The slogan selected
was:

8 likely that the luxury taxes" will be
repealed during the coming special SEES
sion, but until then we'll have to pay

They call these luxury taxes, but the
e0modtiies taxed are by no means all
iixnrfes. Congress intended the taxes
to fall onSthe rich and the well to do

Them will fall Just as heavily on the

Take for instance, the tax on medi-

The same tax will apply to tooth
powders, hair dyes, hair restoratives.
toilet waters, perfumes and other toll
ct articles.
The tax en- other luxuries Is not so
heavy as that on medicine. toilet ar
Escles aud beverages The reason for
his Is that. while the tax is 10 per
cent, It is imposed not on the entire
price ofSthe article taxed, but on that
part of it in excess Of specified
amount.
For instance. carpets and rugs are
taxed 10 per cent on the amount you
pay. over So square yard. That Is,

y pay.fo tax. But II you pay Sc square
