BROAD STREET BULLETIN By Kale jjp BSEjU-Lk :• ti Happiness is hard to keep Unless you hold it tight You can hav«it in the morning Yet it can be gone by night. Happiness is something earned It can’t be bought or sold Yet pursuit is not the answer That’s a wild gopse chase I’m told. Happiness is loving And being loved each day Happiness is in giving A smile along the way. Two at a time, that’s ‘how we caught ’em this past Saturday on a pier at Nags Head and that’s no “Fish Story.’’ Nice-sized spots must have been traveling in large schools, as everyone on the pier caught them. In a few hours we had enough for ourselves and to share with others who especially like salt water fisn. However, now I know why the fish jump about on the hook while you’re trying to gel him off. If it hurts his mouth like it hurl iny hands several times, no wonder he struggles. Our “Fish Story” Monday was quite different, however. Try as we might, we caught just TWO fish all afternoon. You can’t win ’em all! Since the cost of living these days is so high, here are a few tips on how to save and supplement the family income. For moth er become a baby sitter.

LOCAL STATE AND NATIONAL NEWS 12-1 and 5 P. M. DAILY I *- •*- * state tax on cigarettes as re placement revenue for losses that may be sustained if a reduction in the inventory tax is made to attract new industry to the state. Caldwell in speaking for the group pointed out that such a tax on smokers “pro duces the effect of shifting a greater portion of the cost of government services to these people < than they would otherwise bear mere ly because they smoke”, and continued by saying that “there is no additional gov ernment service provided for people who smoke which could, under any circum tanees, justify their bearing a disproportionate share of the co9t burden.” “Cigarettes are not some thing that a person spends more money for in propor tion to his incomg. As a se lective tax on a single com modity, 1 the cigarette tax i? more regressive than the sales tax which is broadly based and recognizes ability to pay in that, the person who can afford steak pays more tax than the person who cab only afford Ham burger. Thus, rather than spreading the tax burden on an equitable basis, the, cig arette tax Jias 1 the distinct effect of depriving or limit ing use of the product by low income families. If the of a luxury tax is at stll valid, it can be so Only if limited in application to things which are purchased on the basis of ability to pay —such as furs, jewelry and like commodities,” he said. He stated that “in terms of revenue dollars . . . North Carolina is already receiving t|ie equivalent of 6 cents a pack cigarette tax just be cause the major ' industry is in the state.” “North Caro lina smokers,pay sales tax es on 1 cigarettes consumed in the state in the approxi mate amount of $5 million a year.” While “cigarette man ufacturers and related tobac co processors pay directly to the State of North Caro Una approximately sl2 mil lion a year as corporate in come taxes which is more than 16 per cent of all cor porate income taxes collect ed by the State. Additional ly they pay almost $2 million in lranchise taxes an around $8 million in iocs property taxes.” “Cigarettes are the mos heavily taxed commodity ii existence,” the minority group declared. “Taxes as £ percentage of average retai price range from 37 per cen to 57 per cent,” they said There is no question but that rate increases do affect salo which they point out would adversely affect the income of tobacco growers, the to bacco industry and the econ omy of the state. Caldwell pointed out industry sales or the period July 1965 through April 1966 are off 1.7 per cent as compared with the same period one year earlier and “all but an exceedingly small portion of the loss has specifically oc curred in those states which have recently raised their tax rates, with the major losses occurring in those states which have the high est rates. Caldwell in speaking for the minority states that “the tax is not justifiable on the basis of providing replace ment revenues for a partial repeal of the inventory tax since it would shift the bur den of such, tax from the i'usin .ss entities now paying it. to those individuals who smoke. In essence, relief i provided across the board for business by penalizing a segment of our people.” LAST CALL... iTvlm) II r ll’p nil LHi \ I REGULAR SUIT PRICKS \?. Si> .
