L (By 'Associated Press.)
r Washington. Oct. 31?This is the
last -day of grace from many new
war taxes.
With the exception of increased letter
rates and tobacco taxes which go
into effect Friday, the special taxes
on document, legal instruments and
parcel post packages which go into
operation December 1, all special
taxes begin to apply at midnight to^
right. They include:
One cent on each dime paid for
amusement admissions.
Three per cent on passenger fares.
J
Ten per cent, on payments for
Pullman and similar accommodations.
riFive per cent on oil pipe line transportation.
One cent for each 20 cents or frac
tion paid for express pacKages.
Five ctnts on each telegraph,
telephone or radio messages costing
15 cents or more.
Various taxes on cigars, cigarettes,
tobacco and products.
en &$r cent, on club dues.
Eight cents on each $100 of new
life insurance and 1 cent on each dollar
of premiums paid on fire, marine,
casualty and other incurance policies.
Although th? tobacco taxes, do not
L became operative until Friday many
f dealers have already advanced retail
r.rices in anticipation of the tax
levies. Other taxes of the new law,
including those on hard and soft
drinks, incomes and war-excess proIts
have been in effect since the law
v was approved October 3, but in indirect
form.
On December 1, the new stamp
laxes, including those on parcel post
packages, wiH be payable, putting the
,??tire law into complete operaion, excent
for increased rates on second
class mail, postponed until July 1
** art
increases in first class mail rates
l?obably will be most generally felt
fcy the people. The law provides that
^ ' tke postage on letters, except "drop"
99 local letters, shall he 3 cents, and
p that on post cards, including private
f mailing cards, shall be 1 cent more
irikan heretofore. This increase
? includes so-called picture post
The advances were made ef
festive 30 day? after passage of the
Jaw and are construed by the post oft
?ce department to begin iroth letters
and post cards postmarked November
2.
The increases aleo have bee?, extend
ed >by departmental order to frrst class
mail to many foreign countries, which
rider postal conventions have enjoyed
the domestic rates. The new Scent
letter rate, therefore, will apply to
^ ktters to Canada, Cuba, Mexico, Panana,
England, Ireland ,n Scotland,
Wales, the Bahamas, Barbdoes, British
Guienea, British Honduras, Santo
