Narcotics trade fuels street peddlers in cities nationwide
A cryptic fragment notes tax data and rising tax amounts from 1950 to 1953, then shifts to a claim that in nearly every sizable city street peddlers supply narcotics to "Al and his kind" for a price. The passage intertwines fiscal figures with a broad, unsubstantiated assertion about drug distribution networks.
Taxes Rise Steadily As Congress Hikes Rates In 1950s
Washington reports a pattern of rising tax burdens as mid-century changes take full effect. A single man earning 3000 sees 1951 taxes jump 17 percent over 1949, 22 percent above the 1949 level, with 1952 taxes 33 percent higher than 1949. For 15000 earners, 1951 taxes rose 12.5 percent over 1950 and 16.3 percent over 1949, while 1952 taxes top 27.3 percent above 1949. The piece traces postwar tax cuts, subsequent increases in 1950, 1951 and 1951-52 to explain mounting filings. It contrasts tax percentage of income with actual tax increases, using an example of Jones with escalating payments from 1949 to 1953.
