@IntOlerable.S

Maplewood, N. H.. Sept 23.-The
present system Of federal taxation
was declared to have created "an
intolerable situation" and to be re-
sponsible for the continued high
prices Of many articles, by speakers
at the opening session Of the semi
annual meeting Of the National As
ISOLATION Of Cotton Manufacturers.
Suggested substitutes included an
employers privilege tax. outlined
BY Theodore H. Price. editor Of
EEaannhDsee- 5nanns-sue Now
York, and Q gross sale tax. explain
ed by William E. Cornwtll Of New
York.
Two important sources Of the
country's progress are being dried
up by operation Of the excise tar
and heavy surtaxes on incomes. Mr..
Cornwell said. These sources were
surplus capital and intelligent en-
terprise.
The requirements of a good tai
system, he declared were:
That it be fair to all.
That the burden be universally
distributed.
And that the collection be simple
and easy instead of being compli-
Gated and irritating.
Mr.. Price in his address asserted
the present surtaxes penalize sue
cess and compel an enterprisine
man to pay the government an i'm.
moderate hare of his gains in q
profitable year, leaving him to beal
the losses of an Improbable yeal
alone.
Explaining the employer priv
ilege tax. which he proposed as 9
substitute for the present system
Mr.. Price said in part:
"By and large. the great mass o.
things that mankind consumes art
the products OF work on the farm
and In the mines, factories and Of
! fees. Therefore, II the labor cos'
of these things was taxed we shoult
approximate an eQuitably distribu'
| ted consumption tax and II it were
supplemented by . reasonable IN
come tax plus moderate surtaxes
we would. it seems to me, be com
/ ing about as near as we can get t.
