J ' ; THINGS WE MIGHT TAX.
j Now tluit cigarettes and smoking tobacco will give their
j.-iliare to help make both ends meet in Oregon, it's interest
Jng. to speculate on how many "sins" and luxuries arc
,aclually available for taxation and how much we are in
the habit of upending on indulgences and pleasures not ex
'iK'tly necessary to continued life.
i The cost of "sin" in this country is variously estimated
at from thirteen billion to forty billion dollars a year. The
Statisticians do not differ as to the cost of the iiulividurl
"sins," but have divergent views as lo which habits should
be classed as "sins."
.;..0ne expert includes in his list only drinks, immorality,
iniid the theater. Another includes gum-chewing, cosmetics,
joy-iiding, tobacco, drinking, the theater, popular fiction,
light magazines, politicians, touring, and moving picture.'.
Othei"s even moic puritanical than this second sin-ecoiioinist
iliiny compile a list including everything that affords some
'degree of happiness or comfort to another.
! Without differentiating between the moralist's "sin"
and man's ordinary bad habits and luxuiies, a few such
.annual items of expense include: $73,0in,0 Tor cosmetics,
ISaoo.oiM.i.niMi r.ir massages, ?.HM).(HM),(Mm for foreign travel,
fa half billion for movies, billions for tobacco and its acces
sories, millions for contraband li(iior, and coriespondiii':
irni'ounl-' f. ' ' inate stage and for cheap literature.
j I'ihI'.u' ! -.loney spent every year in the l'nite.1
Slates bn v . ! i; Js exceeds that expended for the
;bare iieccsM;; iile. This disparity may accoinil fo"
the fact that 1 i- aweotcr in the I'nitcd Slates than in
any other ci . ! : . country and that the stream of human
migration U :'l-iiys Amcrirn bound. The nveiage person
finds it harder lu woik for a living than for that surplus
income which permits him to indulge his petty and major
"vices."
