/ income taxes on income of $4,000 or
less would become unnecessary. and
nominal income tax on all other in
comes would be sufficient. Today an
income Of $4,000 pays between S12O
and Sl60. Under the new tax, if il is
expended in toto for the purchase of
commodities, the income of $4,000
would pay tax of $50, assuming that
every article purchased has had the
tax added and the consumer has to
pay 1t. But on many articles the tax
IS so small that it is absorbed or paid
Dy the seller out of his normal prof
its and not added to the purchase
price.
This tax can only be consistently
levied and collected if paid by the
seller and should be evidenced in the
working out of the tax by stamps ON
receipts, where books are not kept. or
by charges against turnover as shown
by merchants books, less any allow
ance FOR stamps given on receipts. II
would be the simplest tax that could
be collected, and there need never be
any dispute as to the amounts Of in
divldual taxes, as now arise in a mul-
titude Of cases under the present tax
laws. 1t will require a very much
smaller stan to collect, and practical-N
ly no expert service. It will material
ly reduce the expenses of the Gov
ernment in collecting taxes"
Mr.. Bache submits figures to show
that the sales tax could make a diff
terence Of only one-sixth of a cent
on loaf of bread and less than a cent
on a pound Of beef or pork.

PLAN FOR A SALES TAX

Washington, Mar. 29-(Special cor
sponuence) That the present in
come tax law, particularly in its ex-
cess income tax provision, is discour-
aging TO development of industry, is
quite widely asserted among business
men and students of economics, and
there is much discussion of plans for
amendment Of the laws with a view to
substituting some other source of rev.
ssssssssa sss.ssssa ffer that of the excess nrofits tax
One plan suggested is that of a sales
tax, proposed by Mr.. Jules S. Bache,
a New York banker and broker. Con-
corning the present tax, Mr.. Bache
says:
The wealth Of this country has
been built up by savings out of prof
its in business. There are no such
savings today One OF the pessimis-
tic influences in the present situation
is that, whereas in former periods of
booms in business, the merchants who
made a large profit, while spending
literally, was enabled to put generous
sums back into business to provide
for the reaction that was certain to
come, we now have a situation where,
due to the last three years OF busi-
ness boom, profits have been large;
yet merchants have had to pay out
In either income taxes or excess prof
its taxes, practically all that they
have earned over their living ex-
penses, and when the losses due to the
readjustment Of values are registered,
many viii have suffered material re-
ductions in their resources, which
would ordinarily be relied upon to
meet these losses. All this must
change, or business will reach an inn
passe." "a
He proposes a per cent tax on ali
sales, which could not be made an
excuse for exorbitant increase in
prices, for every buyer would know
that tax Is only one cent on a dollar
of value. He figures that the sales
tax would bring in a revenue of five
billion dollars year, about the same I
as the income tax, and that so far as I
the tax is concerned il would make
little difference to the people as they
pay the tax eventually, no matter how
Il Is levied. The advantage to the
people would be that such a tax could
not be made an excuse for exOrbitant
advances In prices. Concerning this
plan Of taxation he says, in part:
The advantages OF this tax would
'e that It would be equally paid BY
yerybody In the country, and might :
cad perhaps, to thrift, since those 4
rho wish to avoid paying taxes would +,
My have to decrease their expendi- Il

Used as would appear probable. ali Z
