The, special relief commission con sisting of only six men has reduccd this tax from 20 to 4 per cent. > This tax should never have been put ?n and those in ^authority now have tried to correct the evil. We congratulate them on their-ad mission of the mistake. Does anyone think for one moment that soft drinks are more of a luxury than cosmetics? You, the consumers of soft drinks are now paying one fifth of the en tire tax for general state purposes. _ Total tax for general purposes, ex elusive of education, is $6, 500, 000.00.. Estimate from soft drink tax $1,500, 000.00. . Who pays the tax on soft drinks? 70 per cent is paid by working peo ple and children. ? As a matter of fact they are not a luxury, but if they are, do you want to tax the working people and children 20 per cent on one of the few luxuries they have. A $10,000.00 piece of real estate or farm land is usually assessed at $1,000.00 on which the state tax for general purposes is $5.50. If you drink two soft drinks per day you pay $7.30 tax which is $1.80 more than a man pays who owns $10,000.00 worth of property. This does not include tax you are paying on cosmetics and tobacco.
