Commision survey snowed. "Nearly eight per cent of the total tooi bill represents shifteu taxes buried in the price of every purchase," the report- stateu. '•These u iseen levies, tor example, take 11 per cent of butter costs 6 1-2 per cent of bread costs, 10 1-2 per cent of sliced bacon and 14 1-2 per cent of the cost of coffee." The report wa s made public through Mrs. William T. Hannah, of Waynesville, state director, who leads NCTC 3tudy groups in about 110 North Carolina com munities in the educational cru sade against "unnecessary con sumer-penalizing taxes." The re port added: "Chief offenders, and those i that fall most heavily on lower 1 income families, are hidden taxes. These are levied original ly against the producer,, manu facturer, shipper and distributor. Unable to absorb the load, eaci' must pass on a share of itg ta*e and the consumer ultimately pays them, usually without knowing it." The commission, in whose non partisan crusade groups in 4,600 communities have launched tax study programs, said the hidden tax figure does not include the many other hidden and direct taxes families here have to pay. The food tax estimate was com puted from NCTc averages bas«*ri on last available U. S. Bureau of I the Census 1935 food sale s in .ho county at $150,000.
