In all history there probably Is no more far-reaching piece of legisla tion touching the lives of so many people in so many ways every day than the gigantic 1032 pcace-tlmo tax bill. Nor have there been many pieces of legislation so complicated or ab struse crammed with so many fine Interpretations and halr-llne distinc tions. Originally, there wan a tax of 10 per cent on gold used in teeth, such gold being Included in tho classifi cation of "precious metals used for ornamental purposes," But protests by the nation's dentists resulted in this tax being rescinded several weeks after tho law was passed. The law specifically exempted gold used In eye-glasses. Soap sold for use In the kitchen or laundry Is tax frco, but If the same soap Is sold for toilet purposes It is taxable at 0 per cent. Likewise, there Is a 10 per cent tax on boxing gloves, but no tax on punching bags, (Boxing gloves are "sporting goods"; punching bags are classed as "gymnasium equipment," which Is tax free). A night club party cannot pro rate the check so as to dodgo the tax by increasing the exemption, for Uncle Sam'a law prohibits this. But if a man goes to a night club, eats his meal and leaves before the show ben Iiib or is seated where ho can neither see nor hear the entertainers he does not have to pay the tax on amusements.
