Manufacturers Would Pay
Revenue of the Products
Which are Sold for Con-
sumption or Use.
YIELD TO BE NEAR
BILLION DOLLARS
MEASURE PROVIDES FOR EN-
EMPTION OF SALES LESS THAN
$4,000 DURING ONE YEAR AND
AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS

Washington, Sept. 30.-A manufac
turers' sales tax of three per cent was
formally proposed TO the senate today
by Senator Smoot, republican, Utah.
The senator explained that this
would be in substitution for "all OF
the taxes. capital stock tax, trans.
portation, telegraph and insurance
taxes, the taxes en- soft drinks, ice
cream, cosmetics. admissions and
dues, and all Of the other 81 varie,
ties of obnoxious or other forms Of
taxation"
These 81 varieties would be re-
pealed on next January ], under a
series of amendments to the revenu.
revision bill offered by the senator.
Repeal OF Excess Profit
Repeal Of the excess profits tax
as of last January /, instead of on
next January |. as planned by both
the house and the senate finance
committees also was proposed by Sen
ator Smoot under his amendments the
corporation income tax would remain
at ten per cent, but there would be
no change in the present tobacco, Ii
quor and inheritance taxes
The sales tax amendment read:
"That in addition to all other taxes

such commodity is sold, leased Or Ii
censed such tax to be paid by tn
manufacturer or producer
Sold Articles are Taxed
1t should be noted" said Senate
Smoot, that as the tax is imposed
only when articles are sold for con
sumption or use without further pro
cess of manufacture, that the Ia!
will be non-cumulative In effect an,
will give the integrated business n,
advance over the disintegrated busl
ness. There will be but one tax. /
a commodity is sold for consumption
or use in further process of manu-
facture. nC tax will be imposed Fo
example, crude oil sold for fuel wouh
be taxable, but II sold to a refiner!
for the making OF gasoline or lik
commodities. would not be taxable.
In order to avoid administrativ
difficulties with small sales. the bll
provides for an exemption OF all sale
of less than $4,000 during one yeaI
This will exclude about one per cen
of the manufactured goods in tn
country, according to the census man
ufacturers. II will practically exemp
all the agricultural products.
Conservatism has been exercise
throughout this estimate. The yiel
will undoubtedly be close to $1,000
100000 but the figure given is NOR
than ample to provide the revenu
which will be lost by The repeal
