Plan to Curb Trust Excise Tax Proposal for Tobacco Firms
The plan argues for an excise tax on tobacco at 3 cents per pound for producers of 10,000,000 pounds and over, while maintaining the 6 cent base tax and adding specific rates for smaller outputs. It aims to level the playing field for small manufacturers and curb large competitors, urging government revenue shifts to support fair business conditions. The text references Ny based firms William & Walker and Khectrinal Company and discusses broader tax policy implications.
