CONCERNING THE SALES TAX

Among the questions of the present
day, appealing not only to the finan-
cial heads of the country but per-
sonally to every taxpaying individual,
is the subject of sales tax, or as it
has been termed, the turnover tax"
The Boston Post has this week been
printing a series Of articles giving in
briefest possible form the opinion of
business men of Boston, among them
the directors of E. T. Slattery Co. and
r. H. Stcarns Co. on the advisability
of such a method of raising revenue.
These gentlemen who are able to
give us an opinion resulting from a
thorough knowledge of business en-
terprise condemn the excess profits
tax and are inclined to favor the
sales tax. They are agreed that the
former has already survived long
past it's most useful days, being as it
was, created during the exigencies of
war to enable Congress to meet ex-
traordinary expenditures, serving
it's purpose at the time, but now
tending to Strangle business. For
under present conditions, accumu-
lated capital, though so necessary to
good business, is being diverted into
nom taxable securities to escape tax
alton.
That there will be many difficulties
in the way of the suggested sales tax
is inevitable; details of its develop
ment have not as yet been worked
out and the entire subject is still
open to much Of suggestion and i'm
provement, being merely in the
formative process. But its advan-
tages are. in the mind of the financial
world. indisputable. The tax will be
paid by every consumer who will be

rate Of enc per cent but so uni

Of the collection being far below that

towns throughout the State, which,
he said, favored the three changes at
the ratio of about three to one.
Register of Deeds Clerks
Senator Thompson of Knox appeared
Thursday for the bill relating to the
appointment of clerks by registers Of
deeds for the purpose of giving certi-
fed copies of deeds in the absence of
the registers. This, or portions of it,,
were opposed by Reps. Cram of Port
land and Rogers of Rockland and
Chairman Gillin of the committee
read a letter from the register of deeds
of Penobscot county opposing the
measure as unnecessary. the provisions
of the present law taking care of the
situation. Senator Thompson said
that the bill was not a personal one
with him and he desired the passage
of that portion which would give the
power of registers in small counties
to make these appointments so that it
would be possible to get a certified
copy of deed when the register is abb
sent. this now being impossible.
Collateral Inheritance Tax
Assistant Attorney General William
Fl. Fisher of Augusta appeared Thurs
day before the committee on two
amendments to the law relating to the
collection of collateral inheritance.
One amendment authorizes the ad-
ministrator, the executor or the trus-
tee of an estate to compromise the
amount of the inheritance tax with the
attorney generals Office
The other amendment provides that
in the settlement of any estate of a
resident of this State any inheritance
tax legally assessed and paid in any
other state upon the property of the
estate may be deducted and allowed
as part of the expenses of admins
tration.
Women for Jurors
The act amending the law. relating
to the selection and services of Jurors
being taken up Thursday, Miss Mabel
Conner of Augusta said that the pro-
posed amendment, which is to include
females in those qualified to serve as
Jurors, was acceptable to and endorsed
by the Maine League of Women Voters.
Rep. Maher suggested that the
phrase land qualified as the Constitu-
ton Directs might interfere with
women serving as jurors and that the
insertion instead of "but no person
