Two Year Tax Plan Targets Wide Range of Americans
Hoover and Mellon urged Congress to approve a wartime style tax plan set to take effect January 1 1932. It would tax smokers bank checks movie theater visits telephone calls costing over 14 cents and purchases of autos radios or phonographs. Most singles earning over 20 dollars a week and married workers over 50 dollars would pay income tax. The plan aims to raise about 920 million dollars yearly to cover a projected 4.44 billion dollar three year deficit. The emergency taxes would run until July 1 1934 and are pitched as the most rigorous peace time tax increase in history.

Ninth District Court of Appeals in Akron reversed Judge Wanamaker and dismissed the liquor possession charge against A. W. Smith keeper of Ghent Road Inn. The decision held that furnishing setups such as cracked ice and ginger ale to liquor drinkers is not a violation of Ohio law, while the prosecutor planned to seek higher courts. The ruling contrasts with Wanamaker’s interpretation under the aiding and abetting statute.
