Representatives of several leading

surance tax. The witnesses will in.
clude Thomas w. Blackburn of Oma.

Although several witnesses have an
peared in support of sales tax the
impression given at the hearings has
been that majority of the committee
VIII not favor it. Senator Smoot of
otah is the one member who is az
lively for a turnover tax of l per
cent. = Senator Watson of Indiana has

ed by questions a pronounced view in
favor OF a sales tax. Senator Pen.
rose OF Pennsylvania, the chairman.

Democrats have seemed to he against
the sales tax. some of them being in
ciined to defend the excess profits
tax.
: That the majority Of the committee
VIII favor the repeal of the excess |
pronts tax is unquestioned, although |
the representative of the American
Farm Bureau urged its retention. The
issue relative to the sales tax has de.
veloped not so much on the question
OF whether it should be the substitute
Tor the excess profits tax as on the
question of whether it should be used
to replace the miscellaneous excise
tax, as well as the excess profits tax.
Fhe excess profits tax, 1t has been
estimated. will yield during the next
fiscal year only s450,0O0,00O. while
-he miscellaneous excise taxes, which
many organizations propose to repeal.
will yield s900,000,000 or more. The
owest estimate as to the yield of a
per cent turnover tax is 1900, ,OoO,.
700, some claiming it will yield 50,
700, 100000 or more.
