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this tax being rescinded several weeks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.
