Tax Legality
KANSAS CITY (RC)-John Corse of
Wellington, Mo., has produced the best
sales stimula tor for peanut vendors that
has come to light in recent weeks. In fact,
Johnnie's business getter is doing such
a good job in a Wellington filling station
that installation of two peanut vendors has
been forced on him to take care of the
demand. The sales stim ulator is a young
monkey, owned by the station attendant,
and John say, it is the most popular at-
traction for the children in the town. These
children save their pennies to buy pea nuts
to f ~d the "monk". Joh n admits that he
i
seriously considering offering similar
sales boo ters to other of his locations who
•
will accept them.

manufacturer of Marvel cigarettes, has
challenged tbe validity of Pennsylvania's
two-cents-per-pack tax on cigarettes, which
has been the source of ten million dollars
in revenue to the s tate. The Stephano sui t
is based on the fact that the law was passed
as an emergency measure for relief pur-
poses.
Attorneys for the state maintain tha t if
the cigarette firm wins the state may be
required to refund all money collected
under the two cen t levy.
