Hidden Taxes
$664,56O For
Local Sales

Families of,sHenderson and vicinity
pay 1864 500 annually in taxes on their
retail purchases alone, according to
information supplied by Mrs. Rufus
L. Allen, of yvaynesville, North Car
DINA member Of the National Con-
sumers Tax Commission. She said
most of the amount was paid thro-
ugh hidden taxes in higher prices on
food, clothing, fuel, medicine and
other daily purchases.
Mrs. Allen said units of the or
ganization are being formed through
out North Carolina in the nationwide
fight for lower taxation, and pointed
out that the Henderson figures con-
Germ retail sales only and do not in
clude the many other taxes, hidden
and direct, which families in this
vicinity are compelled to pay.
The Waynesville lady said the
analysis was based on total retail
sales in Henderson's 143 stores of $4,-
100000, as reported by the United
States Bureau of the Census.
Mrs. Allen, describing the commits
sion as representing a nationwide
fight by housewives on hidden and
direct taxes that "penalize the con
sumer," declared:
Every day shoppers whether they
know it or not, carry a major share
of the nations $12 100000 900 tax bur-
den. Hidden taxes, increasing the cos!
of even the necessities of life, furnish
SO percent of all local, state and ma
tional revenues"

SALES PERIOD FOR
TOBACCO SHORTER
DAVIS Auctions End At 4 p.
M. Now; Block Sale NJ.
On Market 1

After today, the sales day on the
Henderson tobacco market ends at 4
b M, or half an hour earlier than
the 4:3O closing hour that has been
observed for the past month. The
change is due to the continued shor-
tening of daylight time, making i
more hazardous to undertake to judge
the quality and grade of leaf on the
warehouse floors without the proper
lighting.
In announcing the change, effec
tive November 1, Fred Allen, sales
supervisor, said today the days OF.
ferings amounted to around $4,000
pounds, and that prices were running
at about the same figures as last
week.
The 4:30 p. m. closing hour was OBJ
served through today, the end of Oc-
tober, and it was expected the offer
ings on the sale could all be cleared
in that time.
