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.
