CHAIN STORES WARN
AGAINST SALES TAX
Public Is Informed That State
Levies Will Increase Cost
of Living.
BY WALTER BROWN.


CHICAGO, October 3.-Chain store
operators have sent out their f1gurative
Paul Reveres to warn all merchants
against the growing practice of State
Legislatures to levy sales taxes and
extra license fees.
The warning lanterns were hung out
at the National Chain Store Associa-
tion's Convention here, with such nota-
bles as Silas H. Strawn, former presi-
dent of the American Bar Association
and an executive of Montgomery Ward
& Co.; Prof. Robert M. Haig, economist
Of Columbia University, and William
Nelson Taft. editor of Retail Ledger,
serving in the belfry.
While the speakers agreed sales and
license laws generally were aimed at
the chains, they concluded that eventu-
ally the tax levy would include most re-
tailers. The example of Georgia was
cited. There a gross tax was levied,
with exemptions to stores during less
than $4,000 a year. Agitation then de-
veloped for the exemption to be dropped
to $4,000, State officials contending the
act did not raise enough revenue.
The ostensible purpose of the sales
tax, said Strawn, is to raise revenue,
but in reality to penalize or drive out
OF business the chain store"
Prof. Haig said there undoubtedly
is widespread tendency to pass puni-
tive taxes, deliberately designed to pun
1sh. cripple and repress the chain
stores"
1t may be some years before sales
taxes in general achieve the same pro-
portion pow attained by the gasoline
tax-3.s6 cents per gallon on an aver
age. or sales tax equivalent to more
than 20 per cent of the retail sales"
said Taft "but that's. tho diractio,, in
which they are headed, as a direct re-
suit of the chain-baiting influences
which have been at work during the
past few years"
Taft concluded that the residents of
the sales-taxing States must bear the
tax in the form of increased cost of
living.
