EDITORIAL
Thanks to all you nice
people who called about our
"Kefauver" editorial. A very
gratifying reception.
KNOT
Many times have we heard
the expression, Cutting the
Gordfan Knot" and, while
knowing the meaning of the
expression, we resolved to
look into the history of it.
Seems that Gordfan was the
Iellow who tied the original
knot and did SO in such a
manner that it could not be
united. An oracle had said
that whomsoever could unite
the knot should receive the
empire of Asia and Alexander
the Great became that man by
the simple expedient of cut
ting the knot with his sword,
Thus, it follows that the ex-
preston in its modern sense
means to remove or solve a
difficulty by bold or daring
measures.
TAX
The proposed new" sales
tax on automobiles has but
one virtue in our mind -
raising more revenue. Other
wise it seems unfair. Now,
it has been proposed that the
tax be applied TO casual sales.
and another three percent
would be collected. Take your
old car which, let's suppose,
you paid an even $1,000. This
involves $50 in sales taxes.
Now, you sell it to friend
for $1,000. He will pay another
$50. Thus, it follows that on
this one item worth, when
new, only $4,000. there will
have been $50 taxes paid out
4h 20 instead of 3eo. The
only guy who gets a break
in this tax set-up is the fel-
low who buys a NEW car
every time. He only has to
pay the tax once. It's the
fellow who buys a used car
who is made to pay the extra
tax and he is probably least
able to afford it. On cars
which are sold time and time
again, the sales tax could ap-
proach the original price!
LAST WORD
Guess what, George, I
sold the baby-buggy!"
