Tax Hikes In Effect Today On Several Items You will feel the pinch of in creased taxes today, whether you are buying a pack of cigarettes, a pint of whiskey, a new family car or many other items. A few things will actually down, but the general direction is up On November 1 the new excise* taxes passed at the last session of Congress go inti effect. They will add a penny to the price of cigar- etes, running the price here gen erally to 23 centa. Gasoline will go up a half cent, raising the standard price of regu lar gasoline to 30 1-2 centa. A pint of whiskey which sold for $2.70 before the state three per cent sales tax it now $2.78. With the new federal tax added it will be about $3, or a few cents above in some instances. Beer will be affected only slight ly, the tax being a dollar on a bar rel, which is about 31 gallons or 14 caaes. This makes the new tax roughly a third of a cent a bottle. Whether thia will be absorbed somewhere along the line or added to the cucstomer m the form of an increase of a cent or more, seems not to have been determined yet. A new automobile in the low price field, which is in the $2,000 class, will cost about $50 more after November 1. Accessories have the same tax, so that the more gadgets put 4 on the car the more it will cost in taxes. The price of many other items will curve upwards after the tax goes into effect later. Power lawn mowers, for instance, and many household appliances will rise due to the new tax. The tax is knocked off admissions to a number of non profit sporting and cultural activities. A 3 1-3 per cent generating tax on private power companies has been remov ed. The 20 per cent tax on baby powder, a “luxury” tax which had infuriated and amazed many a proud new parent, is off, as is the seven per cent tax on house trail ers.
