Cold Springs Controversy to be
Settled; MeSsrS Booth and
Barratt Are Now Here.
COUNTY COURT WILL
ACCEPT SUGGESTION
Opinion Of State Commission
as to Where Work Should
Start Will be Followed.

That the long debated question as
to the route Of the Cold Springs road
and the place of starting work is soon
to be settled is indicated By the pres
chee here today Of Chairman Booth
and Commissioner Barratt of the
state highway commission. The two
commissioners accompanied by Engi-'
neer Kelly are making a personal in
spection OF the project today with
view to getting first hand information
One of the mooted points is whether
work shall start from the Pendleton
end of the highway or from Cold
Springs landing. It is being vigorously
contended by many local people and
farmers that the greatest community
benefit will result from starting work
from the Pendleton end of the high
way. County Judge Schannep today
declared that the county court is dis
posed to rely entirely on the judg.
ment of the highway commission and
will accept the recommendation made
by the commission.

WOULD SUFFER
IF SALES TAX PASSES

That the proposed federal sales tax
a.. 4 substitute for the income and cN-
cess profits tax is a dubious PROPOSE
uo especially when viewed from the
standpoint of the farmer, is the belief
of Cecil Cosper, income tax expert
Il have just computed what the pro-
posed one per cent sales tax would
mean to two clients of which l have
knowledge . says Mr. Cosper I'm one
case a man during the last four years
paid total Of $4,000 in income and
excess profits tax. Under the sales
tax plan this man would have had to
pay total Of $4,000 and the worst OF
it is that. he would have had to pay
that tax no matter whether he made
any money or not.
I'm another case a man who paid
an income tax of s4.2o would have had
to pay S220O in sales tax had the sales
tax plan been in vogue.
The argument behind the proposal
for the sales tax is that taxpayer can
pass the cost on to the next man, thus

1t is the belief of Mr.. Hays that the

when this is available it will not be
necessary to use any water direct from

enough to carry three million gallons

making the ultimate consumer bear
the burden. However, the farmer can
not do this as his products are sold
under competitive conditions and he
has no way of passing the buck"
With the sales tax plan it is held a
farmer win have to pay the sale stax
even though he should actually lose
money on his CROP. Under the income
and excess profits tax he does not
have to pay unless he has made rnon-
ey
Another objection to the sales tax
plan. as pointed out by Mr.. Cosper
Is that it will Inevitably mean quite
an increase in prices because each
time commodity is handled a one
per cent tax is added. Hence the pur-
chaser viii eventually have TO foot the
entire tax. At the present time a fam
lily man with an income of not more
than $4,000 is exempt from the feder-
al tax. If the sales tax plan is adopt
ed this man will no longer enjoy such
an exemption.
