BARBER GRANGE
Barber Grange held its regular
meeting Thursday night, June 16,
with John Lippard, master, in charge.
Barber Grange degree team visited
Cress Grange Friday night, June 17,
and conferred the fourth degree. The
meeting was well attended. At the
conclusion of the meeting delightful
refreshments were very much enjoyed.
The degree team expects to visit
Franklin Grange at Willow Lunch,
July 2, and confer the fourth degree.
The members making up the de
gree team are as follows: Master, P. H.
Satterwhite; Overseer, Edward Rose
man; Lecturer, Emma Lippard; Stew
ard, Dempsey Shaver; Assistant Stew
ard, R. C. Adams; Chaplain, John Lip
pard; Secretary, Mrs. R. L. Watson;
Gate Keeper, Marshall Lemmons; Ce
res, Alice Elizabeth Barber; Pomona,
Ruby Myers; Flora, Mrs. R. C. Adams;
Lady Assistant Steward, Pearl Thomp
son. Other members are Mrs. W. D.
Myers, Ethel Cline, aKte Barber, Alda
Mae Thompson, Kathryn Thompson,
Carl Watson, and William Waller.
Mrs. J. C. Barber, Deputy tate Mas
ter, and a member of Barber Grange,
has visited in Cleveland and Ruther
ford counties in the interest of Grange
organization.
A number of our members are plan
ning to attend the quarterly meeting
of the Rowan County Pomona Grange,
which will be held with Craven
Grange, June 29th.
If yours is an average family, the
new $1,115,000,000 tax bill passed
by Congress is going to cost you some
where between $10 and $100 next
year. In all probability, the amount
you will contribute in that time to
ward balancing the national treasury
deficit will hover around the $50
mark. ^
Assuming that you earn $40 week
ly, are married, and have an automo
bile, your taxes, under the new bill,
would run something like this:
Sporting goods -$ 3.60
Soft drinks _ 2.50
Amusements _ 2.00
Telephone _ 1.80
Wort, malt syrup and grape
concentrates _ 8.00
Cosmetics _ 4.25
Jewelry ---- 4.25
Matches _ .20
Tires, tubes, oil, accessories _ 7.00
Gasoline _ 7.80
Electricity _ 1.50
Checks _ 2.00
Total for year _$44.90
Say you are a once-a-week golfer.
If you buy two $5 clubs a year, and
lose—to be optimistic— one 50c ball
each round, your tax on sporting goods
would be $3.60.
Soft drinks are taxed under 1921
rates, and in 1921 the average per
capita tax on this item was $2.50.
Your wife would, perhaps, make a
monthly long distance call to a close
relative. Let us say the regular charge
is $1.25. The new tax of 15c on each
of the 12 calls means $1.80 a year.
* s
Should you happen to-be a member
of the great army of home-brewers,
your tax would depend, of course, up
on the amount of brew you make. Es
timates reveal that $8 per year is
about the tax the average home-brew
er will lay out on malt, wort and
grape concentrates.
If your wife has a fondness for pow
ders and creams that most women have
she spends $42.50 a year, statitics
show, on lipsticks, rouge, cleansing
cream, skin food, etc. With the new
10 per cent tax on cosmetics, Friend
Huby’s wallet will be nicked for $4.
25.
The same figure, oddly, represents
the average yearly expenditure for jew
elry by women in moderate circum
stances, a New York survey shows.
Another $4.25, therefore, to appease
feminine vanity.
There’s one consolation in the new
bill, however. It’s almost impossible
to use up enough matches to put a
sizeable crimp in the family exchec
quer. The new tax on this item, bas
ed on reasonable usage, for instance,
would be only about 20c.
On the other hand, your automo
bile will cost you plenty. Seven dol
lars, the figures show, would be the
average tax on accessories, oil, tubes
and tires, and $7.80, on your gasoline.
In a general sum up, by Jjjne 20,
1933, one year from the date these
taxes went into effect, you will have
paid $44.00. as your share toward the
billion dollar revenue bill intended to
close the great gap in our treasury.
