UP in the air, and both sides are get
ting ready to do battle. One great
trouble is the lack of uniformity in
state laws-in one state there are
commonwealth owned liquor stores.
while across the border bars run wide
open. The federal government has no
jurisdiction over liquor, save in the
matters Of tax evasion and protect
ing dry states.
Still another problem is presented
by the quality of "repeal liquor"
Bonded whiskey is exceedingly ex-
pensive-about seven dollars a quart.
Most of the blends now on the mar
ket are poor grade, many believe
them to be inferior to pre-repeal
moonshine. The public has been skep-
teal, and has bought much less legal
liquor than was anticipated.
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1934-07-12

The result is that in many states The
tax on cigarettes amouns more han
the selling price of the package would
be if no tax were laid.
Twenty-nine states now collect
taxes on incomes of individuals or
corporations, and twenty-six Of them
collect a tax from both. These taxes
of course are aside from the high
rates imposed by congress under fed.
eral income tax laws.
These matters naturally constitute
subjects for serious investigation. II

can inform itself and determine q
policy. Such, however, unfortunately
cannot be said about most of the 9th.

professors and tax experts selected
by him over to England for study Of
British taxation methods. British
taxes apparently are much higher
than ours and Mr.. Morgenthau is dc.
sirous Of finding out how the British
government, gets away with it.
SO, one hears around Washington 8

future holds in the way of tax levie:

the country, it will be remembered
that relief was his first consideration
that vast sums had been expended 70,

be expended. All of which leads bach
to the observation I made above
namely, that one cannot help link.

an undercurrent of fear that, perhaps
we are spending too much money.
Double Taxation Evil
While discussing the tax investiga.
ton, however, it would be unfair te
omit reference to one feature of the
house committee investigation that,
am told by real tax authorities, car
be of much value. The house commit
tee was instructed to look into the
double taxation evil that besets the
country. 1t is known to everyone, OF
course, that there are places ri
things upon which the federal gov
eminent levies high taxes and that
these taxes fall on top of smaller, and
sometimes greater, levies by the
states. Consequently, the committee
inquiry may bring to light how often
and where this sort of thing is hsp-
pening.
For example of double taxation, two
or three common illustrations will
serve to indicate how severely the
burden obtains. Take the tax on gas
oline as one. The federal government
laid a tax on gasoline two years ago,
and that tax although it was small
had to be paid by users of "gas" in adj
dition to the state levies which run as
high in some states as 2 or 8 cents a
gallon, making the tax borne by that
commodity aggregate as much as 10
or II cents gallon in some places.
The tax on cigarettes is another ex-
ample, but this commodity was taxed
first by the federal government and
then the states put their levies on.
