steer requires the use in tanning, col bring, polishing, etc, of great variety of chemicals, dyes, etc, and the cotton, linen, silk, rubber, steel brass, etc, pass through many hands and processes be- fore they are offered for your use as foot wear. Now it is estimated by an authority in which I have confidence and whose detail computation I have examined, that a tax of l per cent on each sale of the materials entering into the pair of shoes, from the producer of the raw materials down to that of the retailer, of whom you bought, would amount to, what per cent of the price which you paid do you think? trifle over 1-2 per cent, certainly not 4 per cent.
 To my mind one of the great advan- | tages of a turnover tax is that once in force and the machinery for it's collec- l ton in operation it can easily be ad- l iusted to meet changed conditions by in ereasing the rate if more revenue is needed, and by reducing it if at a time l of great and general prosperity it pro- l vides more tha his necessary. 1 It can be collected at frequent inter- 1 vals, even monthly if it seems best. and so provide a continual flow of funds in to the national treasury. thereby avoid | Ing congestion of payments and a l 1 let.
 i It would involve practically no ex- pense or trouble in accounting by the 1 tax payer as for this purpose all he would need would be a record of his sales.
 As to exemptions I would make rone of class, and of amount such only as would produce tax so small that il cost more than the tax to collect it. Now I will try to answer any ques- tions and be very glad to hear your | comments. either in favor of or in op- position to a turnover tax
