CONCRESSMEN LIKE
CANADA'S SALES TAX
Members of Mr.. Hearst's Party
Believe Levy Would Solve
Problems in U. S.
Ry .JOHN X WINKI,ER
by JOHN X. WINKLER,
International News Service.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3-Tho forty
seven members Of Congress who have
just returned to the United States
from Canada, where they investigated
the operation Of the Dominion's sales
tax as guests Of William Randolph
Hearst. are well pleased with the re-
suits Of their trip.
in the course of the journey home
two impressions were gained Of the
views OF the party:
A dozen former opponents OF the
sales tax have been won over and will
be missionaries for the expected new
sales tax bill to be introduced at the
next session Of Congress.
Those favorable to the painless tax
believe it affords an opportunity to
raise sufficient revenue to pay the
proposed soldier bonus.
las a means of centering public
attention on the sales tax" said Lester
d. Volk. chairman of the party. Mr..
Hearst's idea of sending a delegation
of Congressman to Montreal and OF.
tawa was brilliant. In no other way
could so much public interest have been
aroused and SO much discussion stimu.
lated. From the testimony OF manu-
facturers, wholesalers and retailers,
the Congressional delegates were able
to acquire a remarkably clear view OF
this tax law and it's application.
Two features of the Canadian law
particularly commended themselves to
our delegation. The first Of these is
the ease of collection, and the second
is the absence Of objection to payment
on the part Of the consumer.
The sales tax in Canada produces
about s75,0O0,0O0 yearly. Canada has
a population OF 8,500,000. The United
States has a population Of approx.
mately 20,000.00 or thirteen times
that Of Canada. Multiply $75,000,O0O
by thirteen and the total is nearly
one billion dollars. The greater
volume of business in the United
States would increase this amount
consid erably.
