SALES TAX One Per
CENT ON TURNOVERS
Sen. Smoot Estimates Proposed
Law Will Yield More Than
s2,00O,00o,0O0 Annually.

Washington.-Text of the sales tax
bill introduced by Senator Smoot of
Utah in the Senate was made public.
The bill imposes a tax of per cent
on all turnovers with an annual ex-
emption of $6,000 the effect of this
being to exempt smaller farmers and
tradesmen. 1t is estimated that the 1
per cent will yield more than $2,OO0,-
100000 annually.
In a statement in behalf of the gen.
eral sales tax plan Senator Smoot de-
clares that it's advantages are extreme
simplicity of assessment and collec-
ton, low tax rate applying uniform
ly on all commodities and absence of
complicated features which make it
difficult for the taxpayer to know at
any time what his tax liabilities are.
While the bill as introduced provides
for tax of l per cent, Senator Smoot
indicates that the rate might be limit
ed to one-half of one per cent, or 9TH
er alternatives might be adopted.
Senator Smoot defines the proposed
general sales tax as follows:
A tax on the gross value of goods,
wares and merchandise, whether raw
material or manufactured or partially
manufactured products, whether of do
nestle or of foreign origin, and such
as are generally sold or exchanged
and delivered for domestic consump-
ton, whether in barter or on cash,
orodit or inStaIlment basis which fax
shall accrue at the time of sale or
lease of all such goods, wares and
merchandise at a rate of 1 per cent
Of their total value at the time of such
change of ownership. The tax also
applies to the total amount or amounts
received on all leases Of goods. wares
and merchandise.

Gradually the impression is becoming
fixed in Washington that the foreign
policy of the Harding administration

Germany is facing catastrophe un-
less she takes satisfactory steps to
settle the reparations issue before May

formant Germany will have a few
days opportunity in which to formu-
late and make new offer.
The Vossische Zeitung quotes this
French authority as saying: Il assure
you the very existence of Germany in
her present form will be seriously en-
dangered if your government fails to
avail itself of the new opportunity
which will be offered The French
government would be highly gratitied

WORK ON PARKWAY
is NOW UNDERWAY

Work on the parkway on Main
street has commenced. The city is
breaking up the soil and removing the
first six inches of sand and gravel,
which will be replaced later with six
inches of fertile soil more conducive
to plant growth.
1t was first designed to take away
twelve inches of the top soil, but an
estimate Of the cost revealing nee
essary expenditure of $1,000, seemed
rather too heavy for the present strin-
gent times, and the plans were
modified,
When the city has finished with the
top dressing of good soil, the plot will
be turned over to the civic committee
from the Woman's Club for decora-
ton.
