Taxes Come Out oo Hiding
As a result of a new ruling. by the State Board of Egual-} ¥
ization, California merchants, in the future, must show the
retail price of their commodities separate from the state sales
tax; both in advertising copy and in statements to customers.
Effective October . , every retail dealer must collect the sales
tax (even though he might sometimes prefer to absorb it)—and such statements ag “We pay the tax”’ or ‘Sales tax included” will be strictly t taboo. :
We heartily approve of that ruling. If we must pay taxes
—and pay them we must—it is salutary that we should know
just where, when and how much! Politicians, as a genera! rule,
prefer hidden taxes, as they seldom arouse taxpaver-resist-.
ance, but the Board of Equalization is to be congratulated on
having the courage to bring the sales tax out of hiding so that
every buyer, when he makes a purchase, will realize that he is
paying his bit toward the cost'of government
We have no quarrel] with the sales tax. But we believe
every taxpayer ioald know when he pays his share of taxes.
Perhaps, with our taxes out in the open, we shall be more cau« tious when we are confronted with new demands for govern‘ miental expenditures, schemes to reduce the required vote for
revenue bonds from two-thirds to a bare majority — and
Utopian plans to distribute “25 every Monday morning” to
hundreds of thousands of pensioners!
Property owners always have been painfully conscious
of their contributions to government; their tax bills are a constant reminder. But there are only 1,000,000 common property taxpayers in. California. And there are nearly 7.000,000
citizens who pay the sales tax. It is well that the 7,000,000
shall be ‘‘conscious taxpayers’ before the 1938 ballot comes
along. At least we'll all know that the pennies don’t come
from heaven.—Contributed.
t
Where: Night Is Day
California, shortly, will !aunch its first experiments with
lighted highways. The State Highway Department announces
that a three-mile stretch on the Bayshore Highway, just south
of San Francisco, and the Waldo approach to the Golden: Gate
bridge will be two of the initial experiments. Other test stretch. es will be lighted in Southern California as part of the experiment to determine the effectiveness of highway lighting in reducing our shocking automobile accident toll.
We shall all watch these experiments with great interest
and with fervent hope that a practical way may be found to
remove some of the hazard from night driving. Certain it is
meeting public problems cannot continue to countenance the
wholesale slaughter which has given us the shameful title of
first in the Untied States in killing and maiming both’ motorists and pedestrians.
And if the experiments are successful, highway lighting
may also become a new inducemnt to bring the tourist world
te our vacation playgrounds. Our boost organizations may
soon be placarding: “Come to California, Where Night Is
-Day—Lighted Highways To Nature’s Wonderlands!"” Or
maybe the signs will read, “Play 24 Hours A Day!” Then if
we can welcome them without killing them in traffic crack-ups, we shall have improved our right to be known as No. .
Host of America.—Contributed.
