Omaha Druggists
War Tax Levied On Tooth Paste
Omaha druggists have generally united
In the protest that Is being raised
against the war tax oa tooth past. The
reasons for this are set out In the fol
lowing statement, which Is Signed by
many of the leading druggists of the
cltv:
At the forthcoming session of oongress,
we are Informed that an effort will be
made by the Treasury department to
continue for another year the gross In
justice done to the druggists and people
of the I'nlted States by again placing
tooth past on the list of "luxuries" sub
ject to the emergency war tax.
While automobiles and other acknowl
edged luxuries In which only the rich are
able to Indulge, have to dat been exempt
from the application of this war tax. It
seems absurd to say nothing about It
being unfair to make tooth paste the
everyday necessity of the masses of the
people pay this tax.
With so many richer sources of revenue
available It seems to us economically
unsound to be taking the pennies of the
masses to make up the deficiency In the
national Income caused by the foreign
war, when it is possible to secure many
times that amount by taxing those who
are making untold millions out of that
war.
We submit that instead of taxing tooth
paste and toilet preparation which con
tribute to human cleanliness, human com
fort and human health, the tax ought
properly to be paid by those who are
making inordinate profits out of the
manufacture of munitions and other war
supplies Including automobiles.
This would give the govemmnet all the
revenue It needs for its current expenses
and place the tax where It would cause
the least burden to those taxed.
In view of the extraordinary protection
snd backing given by the government
to those engaged in making money out
of the war, it would appear to us to be
but fair that the beneficiaries of this
protection and backing should be willing
to contribute. In the form of a tax on
war exports, a reasonable amount of
their great profits to help out the gov
ernment until normal conditions are re
turned. Surely they are better able to do it
than the mass of the people and .the
small retailer whose income In many
Instances has been seriously curtailed as
a result of th war.
When the tax was extended to tooth
paste, it was explained that It would be
only for one year. Now. however, the
Treasury department proposes to con
tinue It for another year, perhaps perma
nently. If Congress sanctions the Injus
tice. No tax has been Imposed on hand soap
or bath soap.

Protest Against
try. every institution organised to con
serve public health, every physician,
every dentist, assures us that tooth clean
lines Is mor essential to human health
than body cleanliness.
Keeping In mind all the diseases that
originate la th mouth diphtheria, scar
let fever, measles, mumps, pneumonia,
tuberculosis, rheumatism. Indigestion, in
testinal and stomach troubles, pyorrhea,
etc. It would seem to us that If there
Is any tart of the human body where
cleanliness should be encouraged. It I
In the mouth and teeth.
In recognition of this, the school au
thorities of practically very city In the
Vnited States are today enforcing the
uso of the tooth brush among the chil
dren under their control.
The government Itself In the army and
navy makes clean teeth mandatory.
In making tooth paste pay a part of
the war tax, the Treasury department
Is putting a penalty on human cleanli
ness. It Is not only charging a tag for the
privilege of keeping ones self orally clean.
but for the prlvbege of protecting ones
self from the Inroad of insidious dis
eases. Does this not seem Inoonrpatlbl with
the best interests of th community and
Is It not most unjust to th great mass
of the people whose principal asset Is
their health?
We ask the public to think seriously
of this, for ultimately the great mass
of th people must pay the tax'.
In some forceful way they should im
press upon oongress through our own rep
resentative that a continuation of the
tax on tooth paste Is unfair and unjust.
They should write to our representa
urglng him to vote against this tag and
to enlist the support of his fellow con
gressmen In defeating it.
There are plenty of other means of
raising revenue without taxing human
cleanliness snd human health.
Without any trouble if It chooses to
do so the congress can find these means.
We urge the people of this community to
ask congress to find them and exempt
tooth paste.
