Tax Rouses - ‘Women ‘See Pocketbook Levy. "As Discriminatory “Wy JOSEPH ALVAREZ AMERICAN WOMEN pay about $48 million a year to
the federal Treasury because {Congress says a handbag is
{a luxury, subject to a 20 per cent
tax. Large as this take sounds, it is trifling compared to the governiment’s total receipts. D{ring the 1949 fiscal ygar, the levy on purses was a little ‘more than 1/10th of 1 per cént of all the tax money
. | collected.
But that little 1/10th of 1 per (cent is like a cinder in your eye. It has infuriated the women and, almost wrecked an Industry. The women have bitter things to say about the tax. They are indignant because they regard it as discriminatory. | Their carryalls must do the| same job for them that the dozen | pockets in the average man's suit ido for him.
Bankruptcy Factor | To the $300 million pocketbook industry, the tax is the big factor in a dismaying number of bank{ruptcies. It is a sword that has| |slashed employment seriously and] {made welfare charges out of many| workers, In just three-years, sales have ierashed as much as 30 to 40 per cent. Right now, at the height of the best seasonal business period, many shops are closed or working on a part-time basis. {* The women and the ‘have. one complaint in common. Fhe existence of the law reveals a _ibroken promise by the gov ern-| ment, | In April, 1944, Congress needed! additional war revenue. It passed YER OBI ASE Ry R. pvasos Sete Ans ating SOAS Sy idoats, jewelry, baby oils, elec ar {bulbs and luggage. The levy was called a luxury tax.
| Handbags, which were then| imade mostly of leather, were ‘bracketed with luggage. Besides
seeking more money, the law-also iwanted to discourage sales of maiterials essential to the war effort.
Limit Clause { The seeds for the eventual {broken promise were planted in the law. A clause stated that the fax would last. until six months after -termination of hostilities. President Truman declared the war's end Dec, 31, 1946. people happily expected However, much earlier, Con{gress, with Presidential signature, |extended the excise for an indefinite period. It exists today, a {blight on a shaky industry.
Women take the usual jibes abdut - their pockethooks and the things they manage to cram into them, in stride. But with womanly single-mindedness they are building up a vast and righteous fury against the government and the law that calls handbags a luxury and take a 20 per cent tax on them. It's no joke to the women. And it’s no joke to the handbag industry. Here begins a series pinpointing’ the mounting. reaction against I the tax.
