THE SALES TAX AGAIN.

Secretary Mellon has permitted Representative
Frear, one of the House leaders and stanch sup
porter of the sales tax, quote him favoring that
system OF taxing, and result discussion of the
sales tax has again become general S favored by
many who are engaged in large business, and par
ticularly by those who desire relief from heavy in
gomez sAkes s"fhey argue that matter what sort
OF tax that may be levied production it is passed
onto the consumer and that the tax might as well be
such that that be done directly and easily
The argument mostly used by those who oppose
the sales TAX ike that of those who oppose tariff
taxes is that it is tax the consumer and there
tore tends to reduce consumption and consequently
business activity. They also contend of course that
IT would reduce the tax accumulated wealth
Al or course, free traders have the additional argu-
ment against tariff taxes that they permit the pro-
Queer to charge more for American made goods and
thT, therefore, most of the additional costs to the
consumer do not reach treasury but are pockeed
by the producer
While it may be admitted that, to a certain ex-
tent. at least, income taxes accumulated wealth
nave tehdhcey 10 cause an increase in interest rates
because OF the desire of those who have their money
invested in bonds and other securities to make the
interest payer bear as much of the tax charges as
possible, it would seem that the situation could be
Immensely improved in the country if distinction
were made between incomes from accumulated wealth
end those which derived from active business
operations
The ten per cent. tax on corporation net incomes
is frequently a very severe burden to business II
requires the taking of money out of work that 10
greatly needed for business industrial EXPANSION

II frequently forces business institutions to borrow
money lor these things or growing and adding
to their capacity to give employment On the other
hand, taxes on accumulated wealth NAV be maid wit :

expenditures of the possessors more difficult for

:, The sales tax has many advantages chief among
winch Is that it would be easily computed and

could be very well substituted many of the taxes

great foreign born centre of the country from the

Chicago north and west, to the New England States

eight-tenths Of per cent, each, come in the
order named. Virginia and Kentucky each have q
percentage of foreign born of 1.3 and IA per cent
respectively. Oklahoma has per cent. Missouri,
whose chief city ST. Louis upon time contained
the most distinctive German community in the
country, has only 5.5 per cent of foreign born in
habitants and that exceeds the percentage of Louis

foreign born inhabitants of any Northern State
