Tax hikes eyed as wartime finance option

The committee voted to double the five percent transportation fare excise, raise cigarette pack taxes to seven cents, increase cigar and tobacco levies, and boost cigarette paper and tube taxes. They hope to fund the war and curb inflation, potentially adding a sales tax later that could net about 2.5 billion dollars. Officials noted existing tax increases may be revised downward if a sales tax is adopted, with coal, woodland, and grain affected. Separately, tire plant plans include casing production now and full tire manufacture later, with Dr. Casto holding a state charter and forming a Spencer company. Denmark is noted as less than half the size of Maine.

Government to accelerate tire production via new process

Dr. Casto described a government takeover of the process he discovered, aiming to mass produce tires for war uses. He said the product needs no vital material, requires no crude or reclaimed rubber or butadiene, and could be rapidly applied to plants for commercial tire manufacture using natural gas as the chief component.
