ADVANCING
WASHINGTON'S INTERESTS
Congress Told of Big
Vote for Sales Tax

The Chamber of Commerce of the United States has sent
detailed analysis of the vote cast its recent tax referen
dunn to the members of Congress.
The analysis shows interesting shades of opinion
expressed by business in various sections of the country
Votes of the member organizations of the chamber were
analysed to geographical opinion, trade organizations
versus Chamber of Commerce opinion and manufacturing
districts compared with agricultural sections.
There was overwhelming vote in favor of the general
principle of the sales tax
The vote the particular kind of sales tax showed
large majority of sentiment in favor of making general
tax urnovers of all kinds rather than retail Sales
only goods, and merchandise
Geographically the Northern Atlantic States expressed
the strongest sentiment for turnover tax, against
retail sales tax while the lowest favorable vote this
ticular question cast by the Southern States.
The next highest cast by the Middle Western
group and the next lowest cast by the far Western
States.
On the further question to whether the turnover tax
should apply to all tunovers rather than goods
and merchandise alone the distribution of sentiment
what reversed.
The total vote was for sales tax all urnovers but the
strongest support for the proposition from the far
Western States while the group least favorable the
North Atlantic States group.
