LETTER
BY PARKER LA MOORE

Congressman o. b. Burtness was
the only member from North Dakota
to accept the invitation extended to
senators and representatives by the
Hearst Publishing Company to visit
Canada during the recess for the pur-
pose Of studying the sales-tax now in
operation in that country. Mr.. Burt
ness left the Capitol Friday for New
York where. he expects to attend the
Army Navy football game, before
meeting the "Sales-Tax" Special
there on Sunday. Mr.. Paul w.
Shorb, formerly of Minot, and men,
Der of law firm in Washington, with
other North Dakota people, accom-
panied Congressman Burtness.
The sales tax party including some
seventy-five legislators, many Of them
opponents Of the sales tax project.
Sentiment in Congress at this time is
against the proposal by considerable
majority, much Of the opposition COM
ing from representatives of agri-
cultural districts. On the other
hand it is felt by many of the leading
financial authorities to be an inevi-
table solution to the American tax
problem and brief study of the law
as it is working in Canada should tend
to clarity the situation, and perhaps
to incline sentiment one way or the
other. Senator Smoot, of Utah, con-
sidered to be one of the more far
sighted of the members Of the Senate,
proposed a modified form of the sales
tax during the recent debate on the
revenue bill but it was defeated by a
decided majority.
In the House there has seemed to
be even less favor for such law,
and the Ways and Means Committee
dropped consideration of such pro-
posal by Bacharach, of New Jersey,
shortly after it settled down to work
upon the tax bill that is now in effect.
All of the North Dakota House
members have heretofore been oppos-
ed to the sales tax.
In the Senate Mr.. McCumber voted
against the Smoot amendment when
it was advanced. Senator Ladd was
absent and not voting but he is un-
derstood to have held similar views
of the measure.
The expenses of the sales tax party
are to be borne entirely by the Hearst
company, and it is planned that the
special train shall stop at Montreal
and other leading cities in eastern
Canada. Dominion officials have
prepared series Of receptions for the
visiting delegation and every oppor-
tunity will be afforded them to meet
and discuss the problem, both with
government officials and the tax
payers themselves:
Several members have expressed
desire to sound out the Canadian
farmers on the matter, holding as
they do the opinion that such tax is
not in the best interests of such con-
stituencies.
In addition to Representative Burt
ness, of North Dakota, the North
west is represented by Representatives
Clague and Keller, Of Minnesota and
Riddick of Montana; several Cong
ressmen from Wisconsin also making
the trip.
