sales tax of approximately Ave mills would be necessary 10 raise an amount equivalent 10 the present tax on personal property. While 1t is very true that this would produce serious Inequalities as between va rlous industries in the state, it Is also true that these inequalities would not be as great as those that now exist under the present law. and being definitely ascertainable, could bo provided in the selling prices,
 "S. The third method, which Is variation of the foregoing. would be graduated sales tax, in which the rate would be graded in accordance with the percentage Of the profit to 10 the sales. While this seems ex- cessively complicated. yet the figures are not so difficult as would appear, as the gross income must be re- ported annually 10 the tax comn1is- sioner and the ratio of the profit 10 these figures is matter of very simple calculation. This would be tax on the earning power and. fl properly administered, in my judg- ment would be the fairest method of obtaining tho necessary income. The tax on improbable sales could be low enough so as not 10 be bur densome. and the tax upon profitable sales, being chargeable directly to profits, would not cause any sub stantial hardship.
 A. The fourth method would be to provide a method by legislation for valuation by the assessors in practical conformity 10 the latest | decisions covering this matter, nota- bly,, the so-caled Underwood Case, with a schedule for arriving at valu- ations on merchandise which would be provable by the books of the as follows: Machinery and equip ment would be valued at its replace ment cost less accrued depreciation; special machinery in use on the same basis; special machinery out of use or obsolete at its scrap i value; raw materials at the market; goods in process at the value of the material plus the labor expended on the same: finished stock of salable merchandise at it's selling price less an amount equivalent to the demon strabe cost of selling on profit.

The Manufacturer Association has never cared to assume the blame which will be laid upon it for any increase in the amount paid by one of its members. When proposal Is made 10 change the method, the members who find that this method would reduce their taxation are un- animous in favor of Its and those who find that the method, if applied to the previous year, would increase the amount of their payments. arise as one man to oppose the change.
 "The Manufacturers Association has, therefore, refused to take any positive and direct action to remedy the situation. although many sug- gestions have been made to 1t by those whose local tax burden is plainly unfair.
 The methods that have been pro- posed have been substantially as follows:
 q. An increase in the state in- come tax, said income to be return able 10 the towns, We must bear in mind that the direct taxation on personal property yields approxi- mately s7,OO0.O00 to the towns in the state. This being the case an increase of the state income tax based upon the average income re- ported for the last eight years would be nearly seven per cent. That is to say, in place of the present in come tax of two per cent levy or nine per cent would be necessary upon the net income The objection 10 this method lay in the fact that the burden would be extremely un- equal: more than half of the cor porations of the state would escape without payment of the tax on their personal property.
 "2. The tax commissioner has been in favor of gross income tax, which Is another name for sales tax. This tax would also be un- equal although much preferable 10 our present uncertain method of taxation on personal property, Many concerns have a large turnover on small margin of profit, while oth- CTS have a much smaller turnover
 with a larger percentage of profit, and the result would be grave in- equalities between corporations

tax based on about one-tenth of one per cent of the grand list, Since 1915, owing to inequalities In the method of assessing. this has been changed and a levy of state tax of S1,5OO, GOO to $2,000,000 vNs charge able to the towns In the ratio Of rev. enues. Owing to the increase in state expenditures, the legislature of 1915 decided to levy a direct tax on incorporated Industry. Their first suggestion was a corporate excess tax based upon the Massachusetts law, on which the taxation was to he figured on the difference be- tween the market value of the shares of the capital stock of the corpora ton and the assessed valuation of that companys properties In the state, It was computed that this tax would raise about SS00,00o A care ful study of the situation by those who were directly interested indicat- ed that the amount thus raised at the proposed rate would double that figure.
 "The Manufacturers' Association therenpon suggested an as alterna- tive levy Of 2 per cent upon the net income Of these miscellaneous corporations based upon the federal return, and the committee repre- senting the Manufacturers Associa- ton made the statement that the amount thus raised would amount to more than the sS00.o0o required and that the cost of collection would be almost negligible.
 This has proven to be the case, The first year Sl,90O,000 was raised and the average amount has been s2,l00,000, and the tax is cheaply and effectively administered. The Manufacturers Association has sue cessfully resisted all attempts ma terialy to change this law, and it remains on the books today in al. most its original condition.
 'The attempts to levy on the in. come before excess war profits ta1 was deducted was successfully op- posed. The legislature of 1923, how. ever. refused to permit the deduc. tion for loses in prior years whicf was allowed by the federal govern. ment.
 Federal taxation cannot be ma. terially altered by any effort Of the Manufacturers Assoclation, nor car we In Connecticut in any way change the taxation levied upon our corpor. ations for doing business In othe, states. Our own income tax has me with but little criticism. The great est need today for tax reform is 1T the matter of the local taxation or personal property.

gard to taxation on personal prop erty, Some have already adopted net income tax as a substitute. My own opinion Is that a graduated sales tax Is the fairest method of deriving revenue from the holders of personal property; that tax thus arrived at would be satisfactory as any to the tax payer, and would forever relieve the owners Of in dustry from the thought that they are unjustly compelled to pay some part of their neighbours tax bur den."

 MT. Klmbarrs address was as follows:
 The steadily growing burden of taxation has become the greatest problem of American industry. In the 20 years ending in 1921 the amount contributed by the Ameri- can people for municipal, state and federal purposes increased from |s1,7S3,000,000 to approximately sl0, 900, 900, ,00o. Of this amount, the federal increase has been 75 per cent the state 400 per cent, and the municipal 500 per cent, Of this amount, approximately s",0oo, ,oOo.- ooo per anuum is directly traceahle to the war The amount required is | not decreasing. For example, ID 1918, the last year of the war, the amount paid for state taxation Has SS65,OO0, 900 and the amount levied in 1923. which is the last year for which statistics are available, was $500. .00O,0 for this purpose. In pre-war years the tax problem of the manufacturer was comparatively simple. He had 10 pay 1 per cent of his income 10 the federal gov ernment and enter into his annual bargain with the local assessors on his Ioca, taxation. The modest budget of this state was around S3.0OO, GOO, ot which industries con- tribution was a state tax Of about one mill on the grand list. It IS now over se0.000,000.
 "Taking for example corporation with branch offices outside of Con necticut. It must prepare ana make 14 sworn returns, the total amount being one-hslf of as much as is received by the shareholders in many instances and from 10 to "' nor cent of the amount paid In labot and wages.
 'Tn the many arguments that are nroduced for and against the tarlii this Iast item has never. to my knowledge, been advanced, but It + becoming a real factor in our ex' mort trade. It is difficult enousl to meet the European manufacturer in foreign markets while we are having double or more the wages that are current in those countries without facing in addition thereto tax burden so materially increas' ing the cost of production Ill America. o,
