TWO GOVT. TAXES
 WILL BE FOUGHT
Credit Men Oppose Excess Profit
 and Sales Tax

San Francisco, June 1.-The Ma tional Association of Credit Men will be asked in its annual convention here tomorrow to adopt a resolution placing it on record as opposed to both the excess profits tax and the tax on general sales.
 The report to that effect is to be presented by Roy G. Elliott, of Chica-
 go. chairman of the Committee on
 Federal Taxation. In it the committee
 demands the repeal of the excess
 profis tax and declares it's opposition
 to the adoption of any form of gen eraI sales or turnover taxes.
 In lieu of these taxes, the com mittee proposed that the Association of Credit Men adopt a resolution re- affirming it's belief that income taxa ton should be the corner stone of out federal system of taxation"
 The committee recommended that the income tax be levied only on the income of individuals and not on as such.
 If, however, individuals permit their earnings from corporations to ac in the hands of the business organizations and thus attempt to evade the individuI income tax, the recommended that a tax | should be imposed on the undistribut- l ed earnings of the corporations.
 The resolution puts the committee | on record as heartily in accord with | he recommendations of Secretry of | he Treasury. Mellon, that the issue ,f tax-free securities should be re- stricted.
 In support of the resolution, the Committee on Federal Taxation .rgued that the excess profits tax S discriminatory and harmful to American business and that a sales or turnover tax would be an inequitable ax on business if it could not be H hifted If the business interests were uccessful in shifting the sales tax en- irely on to the consumers, the com 1ittee said, this would violate the | of taxation in accordance with ability to pay.
