A CITY OF RECKLESS SPENDERS

Detroit, the seat of the First inter nal revenue district of Michigan, paid the largest portion of the districts luxury tax during the last !2 months amounting to more than S5E,o00,o0( for the entire district.
 John A. Grogan, collector of in ternal revenue, has compiled rc. port showing that Detroit notol car buyers were among the lat.gest luxury taxpayers. The luxury tal on motor cars is assessed by tht government against the manufactur CT, who in turn adds it to the selling price.
 The collector believes that his dis trict will net the government approx imately $75,000000 in luxury taxc: during the coming F months. High wages in Detroit and ,h' lack of thrift on the part of the aver age wage earner is responsible fo, this unusual revenue, Collectol Grogan believes. He Cities the wage earner who persists in wearing tie' that cost more than $2 apiece as n example of the persons who are hi by the luxury tax the hardest.
 "On every necktie that is sold tc, more $2 the purchaser must pay fiv' h per cent additional war tax" sai, Collector Grogon. "It is the man wh, buys expensive clothing that nets tf government the largest sums in lux ury taxation"
