Gail On All Legislative
Plumbers 10 Plug Leak
In Weed Ia Pipe Line
Quarter Million Dollars Going
60 Retailers That Should Go
to the State

ATLANTA, Aug. 7.-Attention
Of legislative plumbers to leak in
the pipe lines that feed revenue 10
the state will be called to leak
in those lines leading from the to.
bacco tax. If it is plugged, it is
estimated that it will save to the
state a quarter of a million dollars
annually that no wis going into the
pockets of the dealers, but is being
paid by consumers as tax.
The present law reads that a ten
percent straight tax shall believed
on sales OF tobacco products. This
means that on sales of five cents
and odd multiples of five cents
there is an odd half cent tax For
instance one buys a five cent cigar.
The state tax on it is one half cent.
The purchaser pays one cent, since
it is obviously impossible to split a
cent. BY the same token, on pur-
chases of fifteen cents, twenty five
cents, thirty five cent sand so on,
there always is a half cent. The
purchaser is taxed the next high
esst cent the extra half cent going
into the tills of the dealers whereas
it is intended by the customer for
the state Of Georgia.
1t has been estimated that in
sales Of cigarettes, fully IS per
cent of them are of fifteen-cent
packages, on which the tax is q
cent and half. The customer pays
two cents, and the state gets only
its cent and a half, the dealer tax
ing tire extra half cent.
The proposal by which this may
be remedied is to amend the tax act
so that it will be levy of one cent
for each tel-cent purchase or frac-
tional part thereof. Therefore, I'M
der this amendment, the tax on a
five cent cigar would be one cent
and the same for a ten cent cigar.
On a fifteen-cent package of Gig
arettes, the tax would be the two
cents now paid by The customer but
for which only cent and a half
stamp is affixed.

This proposal has been up in NJ
most every Legislature for many
years, it is said by those who keen
track Of such things, but this is the
first time that an attempt has been
made to make it part Of the appro-

been in the shape of separate laws
and have met with defeat. The
senators say, however, that they
have received encouragement from
many quarters, not only in their

, The present law allows man
.$1.25 per diem exemption and fiji
ty percent of the remainder of his

a man drawing SIS per diem could

half of $3.75, the remainder of S.
