THE REVIEW:
We would like to extend our
very bes,t wishes for the contin-
ued publication of The Review on
this, your tenth anniversary. You
have done a marvelous job and
we know the industry appreciates
the magnificent job you are doing
at the present time.
Way back in July 1933 when the
first issue of The Review made its
appearance we started advertis-
ing with you and have never
missed a single issue in ten years..
We have found advertising in The
Review to be very profitable and
we attribute a part of our success
to the splendid results we have
experienced and the prestige our
Review advertising has given our
organization.
Congratulations, best wishes,
and a sincere "Thank You."

Tax Bill Waits
LOS ANGELES-The hope of an early
adjustment in the unfair $100 per annum
tax on free play marble tables was bashed
on July 8th when th e Congress declared a
holiday and will not resume sessions until
September 14th.
Waiting in Los Angeles to make the trip
to Washington to present the Industry's ar-
guments concerning the $100 levy before
the House Ways and Means Committee,
were Curley Robinson, Managing Director
of Associated Operators of Los Angeles
County, and Art Mohr, counsel for the
group. These two were to be joined by 36
members of different organizations interest-
ed in securing a sympathetic interpreta·
tion and relief on the tax law.
Although the $100 tax went into effect
on the first of July the majority of op·
erators have withheld payment and aimed
to take full advantage .of the 30-day grace
permitted in the hope that some relief
might come before the S100 fee was finally
due. Under current conditions there re-
mains no alternative but for the operators
to remit the $100 fee at once.
In recessing members of Congress made
it plain that when sessions resumed tax
legislation would be the first to be consid·
ered foOl' many new tax laws will have to be
drafted to provide the tremendous increase
needed to successfully prosecute the war.
