Specifically, I was happy to see the President's interest In our tobacco^ program. He '-recom mended a reappraisal this year. Bafck in November before the Tobacco Growers' Information Committee in Raleigh, I ex pressed the strong belief that the Congress should take a comprehensive look at our to bacco program with" a view of strengthening it in every way possible." Congressman Fountain furth er fioted that the President had recommended legislation au thorizing production and mar keting limits on an acreage poundage basis and commented as follows: "We In tohacco growing areas are In trouble, for 'many reasons.

We have en tirely too much tobacco on hand. Other flue-cured growing coun tries are in a similar boat. Competition with them is much ^keener.

Excise taxes --what do they mean to you? Maybe you don't .use coconut oil, but If you smoke you likely sometimes use fancy wooden matches. (No lighter Is that good.) Then there are artificial lures--the kind fish ermen use and also the -kind the gals use, though they come under a different category. "Tolltt preparations," they'r* labelled. ' You probably pay club dues, send telegrams and make long distance telephone calls. You may not have a piano but both automobiles land televisions are Included in the excise taxes category. What all this 1* leading up to Is a report on the excise taxes Srhlch President vfojinson In his State of The Union message. Monday night prom ised would see a big reduction. Now to go back to where we started: . R v ? Every Franklin County area resident ought to be mightily Interested. Because excise taxes are the kind of things paid without really realizing It ? but with a few weeks' purchases they really can run Into MONEY. For example, you pay excise taxes when you: Buy luggage, go by air, rent a safe deposit box, buy a life ^membership, pay ?4ub dues or Ini tiation fees, , Execute i lease, buy a ticket to a public enter tainment, make a long distance call or send a teicgram. Attend a roof garden or carbaret (you lucky per son), order electric light bulbs, a new refrigera tor, automobile, camera, musical Instrument or even Just a mechanical pencil, pen or cigarette lighter. Jewelry carries ah excise tax. So do cosrhetlcs. \ " ? ? As for the coconut oll--maybe you think -you get off scotfree here. But look again. Is there anything on your dressing table or medicine cabinet or bathroom shtflf with coconut oil In |t a baby TWIon for example? That's on the list of preparations carrying excise taxes. * Sugar, (JieSel fuel, gasoline and special motor fuels all carry the excise charge. So do lubri cating and cutting oils and all kinds of matches, not Just the fancy wooden matches. ' Tires, Inner tubes, pistols" and revolvers, auto mobiles, trucks, buses and trailer cWssts and bodies and tractors are excise tax-covered Items,1 as are all of the acceisorles: Along with radios, televisions, phonographs, and their component! and musical Instruments, 3- > ? i r ; \ ? ~ Include phonograph rf cords. Fishing rods, business and store machines, projectors, shotgun shells and othe} cartridges also are lts'ted. ^ . Most excise taxes are 10 per cent--though box office sales Mn excess of regular price run 50 per cent which means when the price to see'CIl ' and Burton Id Cleopatra Is jacked away up, the government gets half of the excess. (Tax on coconut oil Is two cents pet jpund-*? the manufacturer pays It. Bqt nobody can be naive enough to think that It Isn't passed on to the consumer. And now for a closer ' look at some ?t these tax able Items; There's luggage for example. Lady, gtour handbag and husband's brief base are In cluded, as are billfolds, key cases and toilet kits. Yesslrl Along with jhe disappearing trunk and i ? i hatboxes and beach bags. As for Jewelry, that also covers the cold or silver-plated, hollow ware and flatware; binoc ulars and opera glasses, in (act all ''articles made o (, or ornamented, mounted of (ltted with pfeclous metals OR IMITATIONS THEREOf" capltals ours. A* (or furs, that covers articles made of (ur "or the hide or pelt.*' Toilet preparations can be 'anything used In the "toilet" which Includes hair dyes. As for "toIlM," Webster defines It as "grooming One' And upshot o ( all tbls could mean quite a "drib-* , let" o( skvlngs In pennies, dimes and even dol lars, depending upon the percent of excise tax ' reduction and your outtey for thete--uh "lux uries" In a season. ' \ , person." \
