mate consumer does not have a leg
to stand on" he said. ''The truth is
clearly revealed by those who are
urging the repeal of this tax; it is
urged by those who will profit by the
repeal,-the large corporations with
largest profits.
eff it was true that these corpora
tions pass the excess profits tax on in
their prices and in addition added
something for a margin of safety,
they would be making money out Of
the tax. Yet they are clamoring to
have the tax repealed. 1t is because
they have it to pay, or because they
love the people so much that they are
trying to save them from this tax?
The kind of substitute proposed is
the answer to this question. There
is no doubt that the substitute would
fall on the individual consumer, re-
CARELESS of his ability to pay, if the
proposed sales tax should be enacted.
''The sales tax is dead, and there
is still chance of changing the pro-
visions for repeal of the excess pro-
fits tax and lowering of surtaxes.''

The repeal of the transportation tax

While the house tax bill repeats the
