PAGE SIX K ] ] 0@ ) NORTHERN NOTEBOOK By BOB DE ARMCND | | | | i Thirty-second of a Series An announcement that vending machines in som the Territory are being t to require the deposit of instead of two-bits in exchange for a pack of smokes shows that the taxers are going to be hard put to keep pace with the vendors. A couple of year th pretty generally to a quar- ter. There were pls of course, where up until a week or so ago you could still buy cigarettes for 2: cents a bundle, byt those place were relatively few When the taxers were in se a short while ago, they argued that cigarette dealers were collecting an extra nickel and slicking two cent of it into their pockets snd that the tax might just as well be five cents as not. And so, beginniny last Sunday All Fool's Day, incidentally—the tax became five cent Some of the vendors have given their answer to that by boosting the price still another nickel. Will the Legislature meet the challenge and up the tax to a diqe? Well have to wait two yea:s lo find o) but at present only one of the 4 states has a higher cigarette tax than Alaska. Meanwhile, if all of the smoker who threatened to lay offen cig- arettes do actually switch to snoose, pipe tobacco or chewing gum, the school construction fund will suffer rather than gain by the tax in- crease. But the records of the Depart- ment of Taxation seem to ind a contrary course of events. They show that the Alaska tax was paid on 797,888 cartons of cigarettes in 1949 and on 1267976 cartons in 195C, an increase -of nearly half & million cartons. For the latter ye: this figures out at nearly 12 cartons for each man, woman and child of the Territory’s civilian popula- tion, it being assumed that the military gets its smokes tax-free. ‘Whether the increase in tax-paid cigarette sales in 1950 was due to greater effectiveness on the parts of Arthur Godfrey, Jack Benny and other hucksters or to a more efficient tax collection m has not yet been definitely estab- lished. One thing the tebacco tax did do apparently, was to drive cigar smokers to the cheaper brands, Ir 1949 a tax of four cents apiece wa: cigarette parts of ered up ) cents 0 price ion , | Company, | phia. inery | paid on 567 cigars retailing at more | than 35 cents each, but in 195C | vaniage | Mutual Beneficial | Juneau, organized in 194C. rice class and the sades of 25-to- 35-centers had been cut in half The sale of nickel and dime stog- ies, on the other hand, jumped from 841,187 in 1949 to 1,100,408 in 1950. Snuff and smoking wnd chewing rode along on & pretty even el—1 589 ounces in 1949, 1,659,- 461 ounce: 1 1950, The tobacco tax Act, as recently amended, impose tax of three cents on each pack of 10 cigarettes, five cents on each pack of 20 and ten cents on each pack of 50. Con- cerning a pack of 19 cigareites or 1 cigarettes or 30 cigarettes or some other number, the Act sayeth nothing whatever and this fact enable an astute manufac- to 5a a considerable ad- er his competitors by a » in hi. pazkaging de- tobacco might turer light ¢4 partment, It the insura.ice business is any kind of barometes, the Territory of Alaska is in a prelty healthy con- dition.
