rum SALES TAX
ADVOCATED BY
O'CONNOR

When liquor is mentioned on
the floor Of the House one Con.
gresham invariably certain to
prick up his ears is Representative
John j. O'Connor CD Of New
York.
That Is why it Is hardly sur
pr1sing he today discussed a man
ufacturers sales tax with a view
to its effect upon the liquor in
duStry.
O'Connor's attitude this session
has consistently been that the dis
tiller should be heavily assessed,
and it was he who vainly offered
amendment after amendment to
the Federal liquor tax bill boosting
taxes on beer.
Likes Plan
Commenting on the sales tax
today. he said:
Il voted for it before even
though when debate first began
I was inclined to oppose 1t.
voted for 1t because 1 believed
that type Of tax distributed the
tax burden more equally, espe-
cially geographically, than any
other kind Of taxation in ex-
istence.
Naturally 1 would like to see
certain necessities of life ex-
empted, however, so as to pre-
vent placing too great a load
ON the dinner-pail worker.
'The sales tax is a primary
tax and basic. That is why /
would like to see it slapped onto
whisky, because that is the
only way we can hold distillerS
down to fair prOfit-taking.
TAXED so PER CENT
Before prohibition the very
best whisky carried a tax Of
never more than $3.50 yet this
represented q so per cent tax.
With prices the way they are
today the Government should
be getting from SIS to $50 a
case in taxation.
'cNOr would this be passed
along to the consumer for dis
tillers would find themselves
unable to get away with it."

VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPT.
TO HOLD OYSTER ROAST

A series of oyster roasts will be
given this winter by the Pocomoke
Volunteer Fire Department, beginning
as now arranged, on October II Thurs
day of next week, and extending into
the spring months; that is, so long
as the luscious bivalve is on the mar
ket.
The object Of these roasts is to pay
for equipment already on hand and
to purchase new as needed. It is safe
to say new equipment is always need
ed, as such a company as Pocomoke's
is always reaching after better things.
Besides oysters, hot dogs, coffee and
and all other usual accessories will
be on sale. These affairs, while in
stituted primarily for financial pur-
poses assume, largely, a social as
pect and are really enjoyable from
that view point. They should receive
the unreserved support of the pub
lie and no doubt will. The company
is issuing circular announcements
which the community would do we'll
to heed.

Well, see by the papers that my old
friend Harry w. Nice, fell and broke
his shoulder blade. Certainly am
sorry, but blest if amt glad it
wasn't Governor Richie. I'll give
you one guess to tell me what people
would have said if it had been. What
did you say? That's right. Now, !
amt saying anything about Mr.. Nice,
but notice the account Of the accident
said he fell "down" the steps OF a
friends house in Guilford. It would
have looked better had he elected to
fall "up" the steps. Looks like his
friend had been too hospitable while on
a visit and something had gotten tang
led up in his feet. Now, don't want
to create wrong impression; l am
only reasoning this out la Richie
You know, if Richie happens to sneeze
it's because his nose was inhaling the
aroma of Maryland's best. If he hap
pens to cough, it's because he was in
too big hurry to dampen his palate
If he happens to smile, it's because
he has laid in too big a stock of smiles
and so it goes. Sorry, Mr.. Nice
but this is an unfortunate time fol-
you to take to fall "down" the steps
for more reason than one.
