JL I aii$idsi Appliances Corner 7th and Klamath Ph. 8886 March 17 Isn't Your Only tax day; You Pay Hidden Taxes Every Day! No storekeeper, the law says, may give a breakdown of taxes and the actual values on the price tag of his merchandise unless the breakdown is accurate down to the fraction of a cent. Hidden taxes are so complex that this is a virtual Impossibility. It's hard to get these figures from the federal, state and local governments which collect these hidden taxes, so you probably did not know just how much of your income was being taken away from you. Here are the figures for a family of three in four different pay brackets: Annual Income Hidden and Total Earnings Tax plus Other Taxes equal Taxei $ 1,500 $ 390.00 $ 390.00 3,500 $ 280.00 815.50 1,095.50 7,000 928.00 1,350.00 2,478.00 20,000 4,412.00 4,988.00 9,400.00 These nidden and other taxes are collected from you in hundreds of different ways. There are liquor taxes, tobacco taxes, stamp taxes on stock transfers and playing cards, estate and gift taxes, corporation taxes, safe de posit box taxes, sugar taxes, telephone taxes, employ ment taxes, admission taxes, and on and on and on. You can't see them; you can't escape them. And it's not a matter of a few pennies here and a few pennies there. Taxes are frequently piled on top of each other so that they amount to more than the half of the selling price on the items you buy. For example, here are five every-day items and the taxes you might expect to pay on them, depending on local levies: ACTUAL SELLING VALUE plus TAXES equal PRICE Bread 09 ' .05 .14 Gasoline 12 .14 .26 Cigarets 09 .12 .21 Milk 14 .09 .23 Beef 58 .32 .90 These figures from the NATIONAL CHAMBER WASHINGTON REPORT, March 21, 1952 Register to Vote Before ApriM5th!
