THE SALES TAX PLAN


 The New York state commission for the revision of the tax laws IS discussing q proposed imposition Of 4 general sales tax in the state. The New York public-and the public cisewherc-is receiving the benefit Of the discussion.
 The reason for suggesting I sales tax IS that taxation on general property is becoming burdensome. Tha. is q reason, too. why state in come taxes re being preached in states so far escaping this tax ln- tIction, such as Connecticut
 New York is one of the states having q state tnsome tax, and large part Of its school outlay is paid for from this tax, as Superin- tendent Holmes recently mentioned. The state income tax there gamers ( state income from the larger earnings, It is the object or the pro- ponents Of the sales tax to add to the states financial resources by adding q system which in the main subtracts money from the ordinary ciuzcns who are not affected by the state income tax
 With both classes Of the popu- lauon reached. 1t IS figured, the state would be securing enough money to carry on and everyone would be on an even footing as 10 tax payments.
 One form of sales tax already is being generally applied. This is the gasoline tax. which IS tax on q specific commodity and usually sor the specific purpose of highway cx- penditurgs.
 But opponents of the general sales tax. as suggested in New York, are quick to point out that it penalizes the poor more than the rich. AL most all Of small income, spent on necessities. would be susceptible Of the tax. while only part Of q large income would be spent on commodities and thus would not be applied 10 such a tax. The sales tax. too. penalzcs rapid turnovers. since inc tax is obviously greater upon many sales with low profit per sale than upon tew sales with a high profit per sale. IL also lays an unfair burden upon intrastate as against interstate sales, since the latter are not within it's scope. Un- less the tax is restricted 10 retail sales. the tax is levied upon goods each time they pass from seller to buyer.
 What nas been done in various states. including Connecticut, is in dicated in the following Washington summary:
 West Virginia has had q gross sales tax since 1921. with different rates for different forms of buSi- ness. IL was enacted in lieu of an income tax. and realized s3,8G0,000 in 1928. This was one-fifth of the states total net revenue, and sub stantially more than the receipts from the general property tax. Geor- gia enacted q gross receipts tax last year. but it is only for two years, until the constitutionalty of the state income tax law is determined. Connecticut has tax on the sales ar unincorporated businesses, to offset the state corporation tax. The Iles tax of Delaware is really d traded manufacturers license fax: and the tax of Pennsylvania on mercantile sales is relatively unim- portant. The sales tax laws of Ken lucky and Mississippi. both in the courts. actually aim at chain and large depa rtment stores, since they allow substantial exemptions. after which the rates rise progressively.
