COMPROMISE CHOICE.
Must Satisfy Both Politicians and
Reacti0naries.

Must Satisfy Both Politicians and
Reactionaries.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
TOXIC, May 23.-Viscount Saito was
chosen premier of Japan exactly week
after the terrorism of Sunday, May IS,
when the aged premier, Tsuyoshi
Inukai, was asSaSsinated and his
Seiyukai cabinet forced to resign. Be
cause he represents compromise be-
tween the politicians and reactionaries,
Saito's appointment as premier, how
ever, does not clear the surcharged
political atmosphere. Unless the Wis
count embarks upon program of social
remedies satisfactory to the forces that
were behind Inukais assassination and
unless he placates the politicians with
jobs, once the ministry is operating, he
will lose the support of the diet and be
forced from Office.
Saita proved himself an able Korean
administrator, converting those patriots
seeking independence from Japan, but
his present task is immeasurably more
critical than that which confronted
him then.
Beneath the surface approval of
Saitos succession to the premiership
by business leaders and the press gen.
orally, is discernible feeling that a
Saito cabinet when formed will be
temporary and not one from which
miracles may be expected.
Saito is moderate, conciliatory and
sincere. Under normal conditions he
might well prove to be Japan's best
loved premier. But until he selects
his ministers, especially those of fin
ance, of the interior and Of foreign
affairs, and announces his policies and
gets into action, it will be impossible to
tell whether Japan's unrest has ended
or not.

WHEAT SALE PLAN
OPPOSED BY STONE
Chairman of Farm Board Sees
Selfish Motives in Traders
Proposal.

BY the Associated Press.
Chairman Stone of the Farm Board
not only does not intend to acquiesce to
the proposal of the Chicago Board of
Trades president to dispose of stabili-
zation wheat privately, but he thinks
the plan is based upon selfish motives.
Replying to Peter B. Carey who as
serted six members of the Board of
Trade could dispose of all the Farm
Boards wheat for cash "at a steadily
advancing price" the Farm Boards
chairman said their purpose is not to
help in the present situation, but to pre-
vent the farmer organizing his business
so that he, in measure, can control
the method under which his products
are Sold.'
Stone said the traders "look upon
themselves as middemen entitled by
custom to take a heavy toll from
American wheat producers for so-called
services, which consist chiefly in the
pocketirg by themselves of the largest
possible share of the consumers dol
lar,
"The orderly method of distribution
as demand arises will be continued"

TOXIC, May 23.-Admiral Makoto
Saito, 75-year-o!d veteran of two careers,
conferred today with japanese political
leaders preparatory to forming a cabi-
net to succeed that of the slain premier,
Suyoshi Inukai.
The admiral was commissioned by
Emperor Hirohito, on recommendation
of Prince Saionji, to head the next gov
eminent.
Besides his service as a naval officer,
Admiral Saito is accounted one of the
empires ablest administrators as a
result CT 10 years service as governor
general of Korea.
1t was expected the selection of his
cabinet would take several days.
Parliament convened today, its chief
business being to consider the raising
of additional funds for the Manchurian
campaign. higher tariffs and control of
foreign exchange. An adjournment was
taken, after perfunctory opening ses-
sion, until the new cabinet is installed.
Former Premier Wakatsuki. whose
Minseito cabinet resigned in December,
was among those invited by Admiral
Saito to join his cabinet. After the
interview with the admiral Mr.. Wakat-
suki consulted Baron Tatsuo Yamarioto,
adviser of the Minseito party, whom he
expected to recommend for portfolio.

The Sales Tax in Canada
Increases in Price of Commodities From, Impost, if
Any, Are Hardly ptble-Buyers
Unaware of Paying Levy.

amount to more than the equivalent Of
10 per cent sales tax levied once, as
at present. It Is logical that this would
raise prices for the ultimate consumer.
Pyramiding Smoothed Out.
During the first few years that the
sales tax was In force in the Dominion
there was certain amount of pyramid
ing, although turnover tax had not
been installed. This practice, however,
was smoothed out by 1924, and was
caused largely by the wording of the
act. The present sales tax act elimi-
mates any possibility of pyramiding.
The Canadian Wholesale GrOcers' As
sociation early this year, in campaign
against a turnover tax, showed def
nitely where such a tax would be a
hardship on the public. The organ
ization pointed out that most grocers
today average little more than 3 per
cent profit. A turnover tax of 2 or
per cent would wipe out that profit
unless prices were raised, and groceries
are one of the exempt lines at present
staple necessities-which would become
taxable, with the public paying the
tax and realizing that fact in the
bargain.
There have been other factors at
work during the last few years which
have made for a favorable reception
of the sales tax by the Canadian public.
The first few years the tax was new.
hard to digest, not smooth running,
and so causing friction. Then 1t was
ironed out, the straight per cent rate
established, collectible at the manufac-
turing end. An annual decrease in the
rate, with an increase in prosperity,
made the tax even less noticeable in so
far as the buying public were con-
cerned. The higher prices OF luxury
articles due to the tax were not even
noticed.
Lower Prices Result.
With the business depression and a
consequent rise in the tax rate, prices
began to fall. Commodities dropped to
new lows, while the tax rate went up,
but the net result, in so far as the
housewife and the Wage-earner were
concerned, was lower prices. They read
about increasing taxes, discussed these
new impostS, but tsSaw steady drop In
the prices of the things they wanted to
buy.
These factors have all helped to make
the sales tax even more painless than
it might be when prices are at steady
level and the tax rate does not fluctu-
ate 1t Is not difficult to see tnat under
these conditions the sales tax affects
the public very little, while at the same
time it Is the main excise tax on the
revenue books. Stamp taxes, imposts
on playing cards, liquors, cigarettes and
cigars and the other standard as well
as nuisance" taxes do not together
make half the revenue for the govern
ment that the sales tax Of or per
cent represents.
The general opinion Of business as
well as the public is that the sales tax
is a fair tax, does not make for too
much trouble, costs little to collect
therefore leaving most of it for the
Dominion Treasury, and is satisfactory
in as far as any tax can be satisfactory.
AS it operates in Canada it is recon-
mended in lieu of any other type of
tax on sales. by business, large and
small.

NEW PUBLIC WORKS.
LOANS SUGGESTED
Barbour Will Introduce Bill
for 81, 500, 900, 900 for
Relief Firm.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Barbour, Republican, of New
Jersey, announced today he would in
troduce bill to provide the Recon-
struction Corporation with additional
capital of $500, 100000 for loans for
self -liquidating construction projects.
The corporation would be authorized
to loan to States, counties, municipali-
ties or private companies for construc-
ton projects of self-lquidating char
acter that would aid in providing Jobs
for unemployed.
Explains Purpose.
1.-THE purpose of the BILL" Barbour
said, ir a formal statement, "is to
create large works program through
Government credit without the issuance
of any additional Government bonds
and is for the purpose of promoting i'm
mediate employment in connection with
-liquidating projects on financial
basis, which will not cause any currency
imitation or create any additional taxa
ton"
The bill, to be introduced today. pro-
vides for 30-hour work week on the
construction projects and limits loans to
those projects considered by the corpo-
ration as economically desirable.
A State or municipality borrowing for
construction would have to turn over to
the corporation obligations representing
20 per cent of the cost of the project
it was undertaking and would assume
responsibility for any financial loss.
Could Purchase Project.
After the project had paid of its
cost the State or municipality would
the corporation.
A company could borrow under the
same arrangement, only 1t would be re-
quired to put up collateral Of 80 per
cent.
1t also could put up so per cent. cash
and receive half interest, with the
right to purchase the other half.

ly and fall more heavily on the ultimate
consumer.
TT really came, in the end, to a
choice between this turnover tax and a
steeply increased sales tax. The busl-
ness men of the country had had ex-
perience Of the sales tax and could estl-
mate pretty well how 1t would affect
them. OF the turnover tax they had
had no experience. The turnover tax
would also touch many business men
not directly touched by the sales tax
and it would touch financial and pro-
fessional as we'll as mercantile business.
1t would also, it was feared, tend to dis
criminate against those who made a
small profit on a large turnover, and
in favor of those whose turnover was
small and rate of profit high.
"All these factors were taken into
consideration, and boards OF trade and
similar bodies throughout the country
appealed to the Government, asking
that if more revenue was required, 1t
should be raised from an increased sales
tax rather than from a turnover tax.
The choice was made, not because OF
any intrinsic liking for the sales tax,
but as a choice Of what was conceived to
be the lesser Of two evils You will no
tice that I am assuming that all taxa
ton is evil!
It would say broadly that the Gov
ernment gets away with the sales tax
with less fuss and complaint than with
any other form of taxation tried in this
country"
Exemptions for Necessaries.
Arthur G.. Penny, editor in chief of
the Chronicle Telegraph, Quebec, said:
Taxation, as I need hardly tell you,
is never popular, no matter what its
form, but I do think the sales tax is as
we'll accepted by the people of this
country as any other form Of assess
ment that can well be devised. As you
are probably aware, this is charged by
the Government to the manufacturer
who passes 1t on to and collects the
amount from the retailer, so that in a
general way its incidence Is very little
noticed by the ultimate consumer. From
the point of view of the Government
it is a revenue getter, simple in opera
ton and easy Of collection. The manu-
facturer has little objection to it and
the retailer much prefers it to the in
come tax, which he believes dries up
the purchasing power of the public.
No doubt this tax is not perfect, but I
have not had my attention directed to
any marked complaint Of dement's.
There are certain exemptions of the
necessaries of life SO as to keep down
their cost to the masses, but this, of
course, Is feature that can be elimi-
mated or varied as desired"
