Tax-Free Smokes
Are Over Tonight
(By Associated Presa)
Austm, Aug. 21.-—Smokers
today could enjoy their last tax
free ready-made cigarettes for
a long time.
Starting at midnight Frday
night, each package must bear
a stamp showing that a three-
cent tax has been paid the state
Most persons expressed the opin
.on that the levy would be pass
ed on to the consumer.
Anticipating the new tax, the
dealers this week have been of-
fering cartons of c’garettes at
extremely low prices and many
purchasers have stocked up for
a while. Merchants too have
put sales on pipes and pipe to-
bacco.
One of the leading manufac-
turers of .tobacco to be rolled
nto “fags" set a new low price
on its tobacco. Another com-
pany is marketing a new de-
vice for “rolling your own” that
the rankest amateur can op-
erate perfectly. Some Indig-
nant purchasers are threaten-
ing to order their cigarettes
from out of the State and there
by escape the levy.
The retailer must put the
stamp on the supply he has on
hand Friday m!dnight. After
that the man making the first
intrastate sale will affix the
stamps.
The three cents a package
tax will be in effect until A is
repealed. That cannot be until
Texas has a new legislature An
1933.
Estimates on the revenues to
be derived from the new tax
vary, but the most common one
is around $4,000,000 yearly.
That will be divided equally be-
tween the gneral revenues and
the school funds] ‛
The tax was imposed by the
present legislature in its regu-
lar session. Since it did not
