chines, that your territory may be invaded
by new competition, created by NEW war
created factories, and that you mean to
protect your locations, regardless of what
it takes to do it. Tell him all the years
of your hard work, your money invested,
the jobs of your servicemen, all are being
threatened by new INVADERS, and you'd
appreciate their cooperation and help you
in your fight against outside interests.
Every business-man can't help but feel
that some day, HIS business may suffer a
like fate, and he'd like cooperation, too.
Show him that all you local business-men
must band together and NOW. You'll
touch off that soft spot in the more cal-
loused heart of your locations that way,
and leave no opening whatever, for any
INVADING COMPETITION.

Cigarettes Are Now
Taxed in 31 States
NEW YORK-Changes in cigarette tax
laws this year include increased rates in
three states; one new state was added . to
the list resorting to such levies; another
left the cigarette tax field; while proposals
for new or increased taxes on cigarettes
and other tobacco products were unsuc-
cessfully sought in a number of other
states, a survey indicates.
Florida's tax was increased from 3 to 4
cents for standard packs to produce an
estimated $2,000,000 more each year. Mas-
sachusetts raised its tax from 2 to 4 cents
a pack to collect an estimated $9,000,000
a year, while Connecticut added 1 cent
to its levy to yield an extra $2,500,000
annually.
Idaho's legislature enacted a new 2-
cent-a-pack tax, expected to yield between
$900,000 and $1,000,000 a biennium.
Besides re-enacting the Wisconsin tax,
the state's legislature also passed a new
measure requiring purchasers of mail order
cigarettes, which have been going into the
state tax free, to pay a "use tax." Rejected
by the Wisconsin solons, however, were
measures to increase the cigarette tax rate
and to provide for a levy against cigars.
New or increased cigarette tax proposals
were turned down during 1945 legislative
.essions in a number of other states, in-
cluding Michigan, Vermont, Nevada, Mon-
tana.
Delaware's tax was permitted to expire
this year, according to statute.
States now levying cigarette taxes in-
clude: Idaho, Florida, New Mexico, Ala-
bama, Arizona, Arkansas, Connecticut,
Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky,
Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Missis-
sippi, New Hampshire, New York, North
Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Da-
kota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont,
