TA \L\G CIGARETTES
With the people of every country, state and city in
the nation aemanding 8 reduction in the cost of govern
ment and the incoming Democratic administration com
mitted to the same policy it is time for the politicians to
recognize the tact tnat this demand carries with it some
thing more than a mere protest.
h et we see the great state of Washington beginning i
a movement to apply a state income tax on top the Fed-1
era) tax and its politicians proceeding along the same old !
hnes of extravagance as of yore, and which have made1
the state of Washington the laughing stock of the Pa-1
cific Coast.
As if this is a contagion, our own politicians are!
casting about even before taking their seats in the Leg-!
islature for new things to tax. Among these is a proposal
to levy 4 cents per package on cigarettes.
And like all diose who have saddled the nation with
a burden arrived at the breaking point, these tax advanc
es are applied to those least able to bear it, or if able, are
compelled to curry an unfair share of the burden of all
taxation.
This was shown m the national economy bill, reduc
ing ah salaries of governmental employees 8 1-3 cents.
In this case two-thirds of the employees receive the tax
on wages ranging from 84 per week up to 825. The man
receiving $12,000 per year was simply deprived of cigar
ette and cigar money.
And now it is proposed to repeat this injustice in
Alaska by penalizing the poor man on his one simple
luxury.
There are enough unnecessary items in the Alaska
budget to balance it if they are stricken off, and it is not
necessary to add further tax burdens. Such things for
instance as 85,000 for the All-Alaska Chamber of Com
merce, 810,000 to predatory animal hunters, S2,000 for
earner pigeons for the Governor, etc., may well be
stricken.
If the cigai ette tax is intended to increase revenue
it will fail shoit of its purpose, because there are two
ways to beat it; »ell your own or use the mail order house
which would cut the local dealer out of his sales.
Like in many states which tried this ill-advised tax
ing system, it will create another prohibition question.
The demand in the nation is for economy and lowrer j
taxes. The Alaska Legislature is expected to heed it with
respect to the Territory.
