Collector of Internal Revenue
for the Firat Texas District, Frank
Schofield, today, issued a state-
ment calling the attention of all
importers of, and wholesale and
retail dealer in small cigarettes,
called king sised cigarettes and
to the fact that the Revenue Act
of 1951 provides for an increase in
the rate of Federal Tax on these
cigarettes.
The Revenue Act of 1951 also
imposes a floor stock tax of fifty
cents per thousand, equal to one
cent on each package of twenty
cigarette, held by manufacturers
importers, dealers and other per-
sons, for sale at first moment of
November 1, 1951, on which date
the increase become effective.
Collector Schofield stressed the
importance and necessity of each
firm or person holding cigarettes
for sale of taking an actual inven-
tory of the stock on hand as of
the beginning of business Novem-
ber 1, 1951, in order to prepare
and file with the Collector of In-
ternal Revenue a floor stocks tax
return and inventory covering the
tax due.
The floor stocks tax return and
inventory forms have not as yet
been received in the Collector’s
Office for distrubution. It is ex-
pected that Collector Schofield
will receive these forms at an
early date, however, it is still ne-
cessary that the inventory be tak-
en as of the beginning of business
November 1, 1951, in erder that a
correct return and inventory can
be submitted when the forms are
The Revenue Act of 1951 refuir-
es that a complete and accurate
floor stocks tax return be filed and
tax paid t« the Collector of Inter-
nal Revenue on or before Decem-
ber 31, 1951. Collector Schofield’s
office will make every effort to
have the^ prescribed forms in the
hands of all firms'* an# dealers in
the very near future. He requested
however, that if for any reason a
firm or dealer does not receive the
forms within the near future that
requisition for these forms should
be made at his office at Austin,
Texas.

'Talks Turkey"
-Long Distance
Some people chuckled when
Sonny Fisher rented i home re-
cording machine to reeord the noise
his flock of turkeys make.
“1 sent the recording to a huyer
for a super-market chain,” Sonny
said. ”1 told them ‘My turkeya
speak for themsclveo—listen to
this record I’ They not only took
my birds, but bought the record 1"
“Why did they want the rec-
ord T" I asked him. “Vary simple,”
ho says. “They’re going to play it
over the loud speakers is their
stores—and then an announcer oa
another record reminds the cus-
tomers that turkeys are plentiful
and a good buy.*
From where I ait, it's not always
smart to make fan af someone just
because be does things s little dif-
ferently. I think o glass of beer is
the most refreshing beverage there
is. You —or Bonny — may prefer
something else. But who's to de-
cide one’s right and the other's
wrong? let'* stay “oa record*
that everyone’s entitled to Mf Oggj
