Pasquotanker Against
The Luxury Tax Plan

A candidate for the legislature
from down in eastern North
Carolina, W. c. Dawson of Pas
quotank county. has issue a pam
phlet which contains some en-
Tightening observations on the
so-called luxury tax.
Mr.. Dawson has examined
Pasquotank county tax records
and has ascertained that the
average valuation is not quite
$1,000 He reminds his readers
that the state levies Through the
county) a 15-cent ad valorem
tax on land and buildings. The
proposal of the luxury tax adj
v0cates is that this 15-cent levy
be taken off and that it be re-
placed by the levy on what they
call luXuries.
The average valuation is not
quite 81, 500 says Mr.. Dawson.
but to- be entirely fair we will
assume it is $4,000. Take the
average taxpayer with $4,000
listed; multiply the $4,000 by the
rate Of Is cents per 500. and
you will find that the great re-
lief from the imposition of the
luxury tax would amount to the
insignificant sum of $3.50 per
year.
Now, if Mr. Average Tax
payer smokes cigarettes, and
smokes only three packages Il
week, he will pay $46S in lux
ury taxes on his smokes alone
If he goes to a movie and pays
10 cents tax on each ticket,
! drinks a soft drink, or buys a
box of gun shells for rabbit
shooting, or buys a pair of silk
stockings for his wife or daugh-
ter, or INDUCES in many other
so-called luxuries, YOU may read
lily see that he will have paid sew
cral times as much as he would
save by his small reduction in
ad valorem taxes"
The Pasquotanker's 5 position is
that the abolition of the 15-cent
ad valorem levy and the substi-
tuition of a luxury tax would
help large taxpayers, such as
railway companies and owners
of lumber tracts, while it would
penaliZe the average man. IF
movie tickets, soft drinks, Gig
arettes, etc, are luXurics, they
are truly the luxuries of the
poor, and to place a selected tax
upon them is nothing short of
class legislation to penalize these
people whose only diversion in
many cases is the pleasure they
get from the use Of the articles
enumerated" ."

yer devoted to home owners in his ac-
tons and public statements is cited
by Morton Bodfish, member OF the

dealing with legislation enacted In be-
half OF home owners.
Bodfish predicts that such concern
for the home owner will continue as
part Of the program Of Government
leaders.

practices and legislative influences which
brought the home owner into promi-

Bronchial Troubles
Need Creomulsion

Bronchial troubles may lead to some
thing serious. You can stop them now
with Creomulsion, an emulsi6ed creosote
that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is
new medical discovery with two-fold ac-
tion; it soothes and heals the inflamed
membranes and inhibits germ growth.
Of all known drugs, creosote is recog.
nized by high medical authorities as ono
of the greatest healing agencies for per-
sistent coughs and colds and other forms
OF throat troubles. Creomulsion contains,
in addition to creosote, other healing ele-
ments which soothe and heal the infected
membranes and stop the irritation and in
fammation, while the creosote goes on to
the stomach, is absorbed into the blood,
attacks the seat of the trouble and checks
the growth of the germs.
Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory
in the treatment of persistent coughs and
colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis and
other forms of respiratory diseases, and
is excellent for building up the system
after colds or flu. Money refunded if any
cough or cold, no matter of howlong stand.
