suits highly detrimental to all elements
of the community"
Representative Longworth urged the
immediate repeal of the excess profits
tax as war measure which now has
no place in our system. The problem.
he explained, is to determine where to
raise the billion and quarter dollars
which IT now yields. In the financing

TAX CONFERENCE FAILS
TO REACH DECISION
Sales Tax Meets Objections
and ReUision Sought.

The report on a plan for revision of
the nations tax system prepared by a
special committee of the National In
dustrial, Conference Board failed yes
terday OF adoption at the close OF the
third national Industrial tax conference,
called by the board, at the Hotel Astor.
It was decided to send the report back
to the committee for reconsideration
along the lines suggested.
Many objections had been raised,
especially to the sales tax. which was
recommended in the report. Prof F. R.
Fairchild of Yale University said thai
all sales and excise taxes are shifted
inevitably to the consumer.
Arthur J. Baldwin, president of the
McGraw-Hill publishing Company. said
that the present industrial slump is due
to the uncertain. tax system. He
favored a commodity tax, and tax
on undistributed earnings. No date was
set for the next conference.
