Taxpayers Will
Oppose Double
Taxation
- - o p p o s i t i o n is growing
throughout New York State and
Long Island to the double tax-ation
inflicted upon tax payers
in this State, by not permit-ting
such tax payers to deduct
the amount of their Federal
income tax payments from their
State income tax returns. The
Long Island Association, which
has opposed this double taxa-tion
for many years, is joining
with .hundreds of civic and tax-payer
orgi^ni/ations throughout
the State in an active campaign
to have this system of taxing
taxes rescinded at the forth-coming
legislative session in
1942.

say that your foot hurts, and
it sounds alright; but if you
say your feet hurt, it sounds
perfectly lousy.
