aware of many laws that will be a
part of the statutes. But the aver-
age citizen will or is likely to be
affected by a considerable number
of the new laws.
Perhaps the- law that will be the
mostly keenly felt by the largest
number of persons is the one levy-
ing the tax of three cents per pack-
age on ckzarets. This tax alone is
expected to raise between $5,000,-
000 and 86,000,000 for the benefit
of the general revenue and school

Other new tax laws include the
peddlers tax. levying a tax on the
itinerant peddler of farm and oth-
er products; the natural gas tax.
levying a tax of two per cent on
the value of the gas; increasing the
sulphur tax to 75 cents per ton; a
cement tax of one and one-fourth
cents per 100 pounds; and an oc-
cupation tax on dealers in pistols.
One-fourth of these taxes also
will be placed in the school fund.

that will become effective is one

Persons who sell produucts to
manufacturers, processors or cur-

literature, newspapers and periodi-
cals. Manufacturers selling products
manufactured by them.
County Attorney Earl Street also
pointed out Thursday that where
a definite sale has been made, and
the person engaged in delivering
the sold products has a definite
route to follow every day, the ped-
dling legislation does not apply. For
that reason he believes ice plants,
milk and dairy products plants, and
businesses of that nature will not
come under the tax.
No Stationary Tax
Another feature of the peddler
legislation is that persons who do
not move from place to place or
from house to house selling their
wares, but who have a stationary
place of business. who have a small
stand or who sell from a truck or
a wazon stationed there all day will
not be required to pay the tax.
Street pointed out.
The law is rather vague in some
of its provisions, and test cases will
have to draw court rulings before
all of its operations are definitely
settled, officials state. The provision
is made that violation of the law
is a misdemeanor and carries a fine
of 8100 and a jail sentence of, 30
days or both.

New Laws Become Annual Cost of Crime Staggering
2s B
Commencing Saturday, the new
state peddlers’ tax is effective here;
however, the tax does not have to
be paid until Sept. 1, according to
the Legislation’s provision, county
officials said:
The tax regulation provides the
following taxes shall be assessed i
bounties the size of Denton for
peddlers selling on foot. 83.50; for
peddlers selling from an animmi-
drawn vehicle $6; for peddlers sell-
ing from a motor vehicle, 810
County and City Tax
The 'county is allowed to collect
a tax amounting to half the state
tax, and a city tax is also opera-
tive here. The city tax in Denton
is levied by an old ordinance that
provides for a tax of $2.50 for ped-
diets selling on foot, 33.75 for ped-
dlers ’Selling from a vehicle drawn
by one horse or one pair of oxen
and 85 for peddlers selling from
a vehicle drawn by two horses or
two pair of oxen. Since the ordi-
nance antedated motor vehicles, no
provision for them was made, and
they, are taxed 83.75, the same as
for one horse—or pair of oxen.
A peddler in Denton, therefore,
selling from a wagon drawn by a
horse, wil have to pay a total tax
of $12,75; one selling from a truck
will pay $18,75.
Exemptions are Made
Farmers'who sell the produce they
raise themselves are specifically
