permit great revenue from turnover
taxation.
Endorsement of the sales tax prin-
ciples by your leading financiers and
bankers within the past few months
would seem to show that there is in.
creasing public demand for some form
OF indirect taxation to substitute for
your present direct revenue produc-
ton methods.
"The most equitable and fair In
direct tax levy will be found to be
percentage taxation on a turnover
basis. Should It be possible. as
United States economists estimate. to
substitute a / or per cent sales tax
for the present United States income
tax, the burden Of meeting the Gov.
eminent budget will be more equally
distributed.
Automatically Adjusts Itself.
1.-THE sales tax 10 e.sss~ially a tax
upon consumption, automatically ad-
justing itself to the needs of indi-
viduals and communities. which In
theory pay the turnover tax with
each purchase.
I'm practice much of the tax ID
absorbed between the producer and
ultimate consumer, especially in arti.
Giles Of small retail value, where the
tax amounts to fractions Of the cent.
at is largely in this latter respect
that any objection is raised to turn
over taxation by Canadian business
men. / believe, however, that this
criticism can be eliminated by re-
vision of existing regulations.
IF the United States Is to adopt
this method Of taxation, it's lawmakers
should profit by Canadian experience"
Conferences between Prime Minister
Lougheed, Mr.. Greene, and Senator
L. C. Webster, leader of the upper
house of the Canadian Parliament,
have been held to perfect plans for
best laying before the Congressional
statistics and information
bearing on Canadian experiences with
turnover taxation.
Senator Webster is president of the
Montreal Board of Trade and will pre-
side at the formal luncheon to be ex-
tended to the Washington Congress

Opponents of Sales
Tax Laud Hearst For
Staging Canada Trip

Announcements from Ottawa Of the
elaborate plans being made by the
Dominion Government, City officials
Of Ottawa and Montreal, Boards Of
Trade and the Canadian Club for the
reception Of the Congressional Dele
cation which goes to Canada to study
the Sales Tax as guests of The
Washington Times and other Hearst
newspapers has quickened the interest
Of those who plan to make the trip.
Many members of the House called
man Lester d. Volk, chairman of the
committee Of arrangements. and con-
graduated him on the completeness Of
details Of the expedition.
1t was originally the intention Of
the Committee on Arrangements to
have no speakers in the Delegation,
but to confine themselves to listening
to explanations of the Canadian sales
tax system. Urgent solicitation by
the Canadian officials, however, has
decided the Committee in the favor of
selecting a limited number of speakers
who will confine their remarks to a
period of from five to ten minutes
each.
Those Who VIII Speak.
The following list of speakers for
the delegation has been selected by
Chairman Volk:
James A. Frear. Wisconsin.
John e. Raker, California.
c. b. Hudspeth, Texas.
w. f. Clouse, Tennessee.
Thomas jefferson Ryan. New York.
James G.. Strong, Kansas.
James OConnor, Louisiana.
Martin c. AnsorRe, New York.
Roy Fitzgerald, Ohio.
Lester d. Volk, who, acting as chair
man, will introduce the speakers.
1t Ia understood that the public
speaking by the Americans Is to be
confined to banquets and other social
gatherings. At the meetings at
which the Canadian tax experts give
their explanations of the application
of the Canadian sales tax system,
the Americans may be permitted to
ask any que stions they desire that
will tend to clarity the subject.
All those who we're invited to

This fact he made very plain yester

cording 10 Frazee, is willing to pay his
price, while two parties In Boston are
said to be seeking the club.
Frazee believes that. Griffith's friend

no one connected with Johnson could
buy the club, no matter how big the
offer.
Charles Weegham, f9rmer owner OF
the Chicago Cubs, has been In Frazee's
office. Both Harry aHd Charley de-
MED that the latter was seeking the
club, but onlookers think that where
there is smoke there must be fire.
The Boston franchise Is without
question one of the best in the coun-
try. Frazee is decidedly unpopular
