RA|NEY ANALYzES
SALES TAX PLAN
Says Theory Is to Levy on
Product as It Is Ready
for Consumer.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
A widely but thinly spread manufac-
lures sales tax for hundreds of indus
tries Is being considered by the House
Ways and Means Committee As one Of
the most important sources Of revenue
for the new tax bill.
Representative Rainey Of Illinois, ma
jority leader and chairman Of the Ways
and Means subcommittee studying the
sales tax proposal, said yesterday the
tax appeared the most feasible If 1t
could be properly applied and col
lected. He said 1t was preferred by
American industry generally to heavy
taxes on few big Industries
Rainey held 1t would be necessary to
levy some sort Of sales tax In order 10
obtain the $1,241 100000 necessary to
balance the Federal budget in 1898.
Would Hit Imported Articles.
The tax would not apply to food
stuffs, medicines or clothing, except
possibly furs and similar clothing
which could be classified as luxuries.
Imported articles. including gasoline
would be compelled to bear the same
rate Of taxes, probably ] or 2 per cent,
as domestic products.
The proposed levy is a modified form
Of the Canadian manufactures sales tax
system.
THE theory we are working on" he
said, "is to levy the tax on the finished
product as 1t leaves the last manu-.
facturer and is ready for consumption
1t would be kept away from the con-
sumer and would not be imposed by the
retailer"
Revision Would Be Avoided.
Rainey explained that while automo-
biles, radios and similar articles would
be taxed under the plan, the levy would
not be as much as if taxes were levied
individually on five or six big indus
tries.
The bill would be so drafted that in
the event an industry became weaker
for any cause Congress would remove it,
tax without revising the revenue struc-
ture.
Rainey said until it was decided defi-
nitely how much additional revenue
could be obtained from q gift tax, In
creased individual and corporate in
come taxes and the rearrangement Of
the brackets, it could not be decided
how heavy the manufactures sales levy
should be.

On GRID
!. CAMP MOVE
. FORWARD
BY HARRY COSTELLO


Georgetown University seems
destined to become one of the
first major universities of the
nation to adequately control ath'
letics, particularly intercollegiate
athletics.
The decision of Hilltop AGA,
demic authorities to dispense
with Georgetown's seaside train
ing camp for the football squad
comes as no surprise to those who
closely follow activities of the
Blue and Gray.
Georgetown now has taken the
third step of a program appar-
emily intended to definitely re-
turn intercollegiate sport to its
proper position in the general
educational scheme, there to
serve the purposes which justify
its existence.
First Elimination
The first step taken by AGA
demic authorities at Georgetown
was the elimination of all forms
of direct or indirect aid for ath-
letes. This step included the
elimination of the athletic schol-
arship.
The second step was to bring
Hilltop athletics, more particular
ly intercollegiate athletics, under
more direct academic control.
This step, obviously, anticipates
RELOCATION of the professional
elements of the present intercol-
'2egiate establishment to positions
OF minor Importance on the
campus.
Obligations of the university
to her athletes must be elimi-
mated by September /, 1898. This
is the ruling of an academic
body. Consequently, at George
town there can be no new obliga-
tions this year, and all existing
obligations will be wiped out by
the date mentioned.
Faculty to Control
Georgetown academic author
tiles have remained silent anent
their plan. However, thus far
the plan has been downright
fortnight. 1t is obvious that the
Hilltop plan anticipates the fix
ing and placing of responsibility
where everyone knows it really
resides - with the president,
faculty and board of trustees.
It is probable that another year
will see new compilations on the
agencies through which the in
tercollegiate athletic establish.
ment at Georgetown functions.
This means that the faculty will
be the policy-forming group at the
Hilltop and will define basic prin-
ciples for Georgetown sports and
such major devices and practices
as are essentially linked to the
practical application of these prin-
ciples.
Whatever commercial and pro.
feSsional atmosphere, if any,
which envelopes Georgetown in
tercollegiate athletics today will
undoubtedly pass away during the
next two months.
