FEDERAL TAXES
BEST ON SALES
TH|NKSbANKER
Economist Believes That
Revision of the Present
Laws Is Essential to
Prevent Catastrophe.

Washington, Sept. 3d. Especial
Correspondence)- According to Jules
S. Bache, banker, of New York, the
present incquitable system of Fedora
taxation should give way to tax OF
sales. In recent address to the Ro.
tary club in New York. Mr. Bache
cited the experience of the railroads
under Federal administration in rroot
OF his contention that each member
Of the community should contribute a
fair share of taxation rather than
have an undue portion heaped upon a
class. Under government operation
he recalled, the railroads were always
run at loss. The deficit was made
up by four or five hundred thousand
people who pay the taxes, while the
rest OF the public was given the SER
vice of the railroads at less than cost.
Congress. Mr.. Bache declared, had
corrected the evil by providing in the
transportation act that everybody
should pay portion of that cost in
the shape OF increased rates. 1T en-
acted policy in my opinion" said
the banker, that should apply equally
in taxation"
Mr. Bache regards as faliacious the
argument that everyone is now paying
his share of the tax burdens through
the increased costs of all articles en-
oering into consumption. The fact
IS, according to him. that the public
IS paying great excess of profits
on all purchases-far greater than
the tax returns to the government
warrant. He predicts that continue
ton OF those excess payments is sure
to bring Every hard times"
Applies to Farmers
Reducing his theory to practice.
Mr.. Bache says. "The problem to the
farmer is whether he is to paw 40
per cent, as at present on what he
buys, or ! per cent on what he sells.
No merchant or manufacturer can
tell at the commencement of his sea-
son how much goods he will sell. or
how much he will make on the sale
OF those goods. But he is a poor
merchant if he does not contemplate
the worst that can happen to him.
which is 40 per cent tax; and he
is going to add that amount at the
start. so that no matter what the final
result he will not be the loser"
Referring to the probability of his
plan being adopted by the congress
when the problem of tax revision Is
attacked next year, Mr.. Bache express
ed his confidence that senator Hard
ing, # elected. would favor it. Draw
ing his conclusions from the support
given the Cummins railroad bill by the
Republican candidate in the senate,
the banker said he was convinced
that Mr. Harding would apply the
same theory of equitable distribution
OF financial burdens to the question
OF taxation. 1t is understood that
thousands of merchants in New York
city and elsewhere have endorsed the
sales tax plan put forward by Mr..
Bache. The board of directors of
the Rotarians are to bring the pro
position to the attention of every Ro-
tary club in the United States and
encourage discussion of it.
