West Virginia Tax Gains Steam In State Treasury
The West Virginia sales tax, now six months in operation, has rapidly boosted revenue. Enacted for a 15 month span, it has collected more than half the projected six and a half million dollars. It is a one cent tax on every 10 cents of purchases above five cents, with exemptions for school books and agricultural products bought from producers. Public reception has been generally favorable, and the tax may replace other levies when its term ends. Weather forecasts predict record cold and blizzards with wide regional variation across the United States. German propaganda comments condemn Nazism while praising German culture and science. Mammoth preparations for Pennsylvania Farm Show in Harrisburg begin, with extensive livestock entries and new exhibits planned for January.
