Some Facts on the
Sales Tax
BY Labor Research AsSociatscu

sales tax is tax on goods that are consumed
by the masses Of workers and farmers Il he
tax advocated by the rich and the capitalist and
banker class to escape heavier taxes on incomes
gifts and estates.
The manufacturers tax' section OF the rev
enue bill now before Congress calls for tax os
2HSs on a vast number of manufactured articles
The tax is paid by the manufacturer, but tbs
price Of the product consumed is raised by the
amount of the tax, or more, and is thus passed
on to the worker and farmer consumer.
This silent tax" as proposed in the bill before
Congress, would put burden of some $500 100000
chiefly on the backs of consumers; not only thiA
but an additional estimated $s0o,ooo0oo which
wholesalers and retailers will add to the retaf
price of goods taxed,
Some Of the commodities to be taxed are al
kinds of clothes, including shoes and sotckinga.
furniture, soaps and cleaning materials lard, oil
household utensils of all kinds, medicine ice,
coal, and various canned products. AS some one
has put it, everything will be taxed but Bibles.
pigs knuckleS and admission to the bread line
The tax will increase the price Of goods not by
mere 21490, but by much more, even in solne
cases as high 1907. For example, when o
worker bus hot dog or bottle OF pop, he may
ind that the retailer has raised the price Of tie
article by from one to five cents, that is, from
zUFo 10 lUO9o! F'H"o 79s been little experience
in this country with this r..- Z during the war
days and the tax or "luxuries" SOL drinks rose
in price from to and even 10 cents The
same would now apply under the sales tax Law
to much more necessary articles such as soap
and the thousand and one things purchased BY
workers in cheap stores The price of scent
cake of soap will be raised by at least one cent
which makes an increase in price to the worker
OF 209o instead Of the "a % which the manufac-
turer pays.
Some one may say that no tax IS u5lten-
plated on raw foods. But the tax on such
articles as gasoline will be passed on by the food
manufacturers and dealers Ito the food CON
sumerS.
Taxes on building materials will be felt I'm
increased rents. And taxes levied on such prod
ucts as machinery, electricity and motor trucks
will be passed on to the cost OF the finished
article of food or clothing consumed by the
worker.
Those who are poor and living from hand to
mouth and buying in small lots always pay
more proportionately for what they buy than the
rich. The workers will thus pay much heavier
tax than the rich. In fact family whose cost
of living uses up the full amount of its income
as is more and more the case, will be actually
paying tax upon every cent of its income while
the rich, whose incomes, of course, are much
larger than what they spend, are exempt from
the tax on this part of their income. And the
richer the person is the greater the exemption
Even the capitalist economist, Seligman, once
admitted, 1.-THE sales tax represents an attempt
to put an undue, an extravaganza burden upon
the consumer, instead of on the producer or the
possessor Of wealth"

SUCCESSFUL LIVING IN THE MACHINE
AGE, by Edward A. Filene, In collaboration
with Charles w. Wood.
Simon & Schuster, g so
BY NJ. R. FELIX
THE author" of this book is the chief owner of
the enormous Boston department store, Fl
1ene'S and has q finger In another dozen juicy
pies His collaboration "a polite name for q lit
erary prostitute who writes books for rich mem
is Charles W. Wood, ex-Socialist, ex-mucraker,
and present booster of MIR. Filene.
Mr. F1lene has burning message TO give the
world, and SO important does he think it. that
he has given up active management of Filenes
TO devote his time to talking before Manufacur-
er's Associations and Chamber of Commerce
banquets, conferences with labor takers, and
writing this kind Of clap-trsp.
The message Of Mr.. F1lene is that Communism
can be headed off by American capitalism.
IF these business leaders only knew it, they
could make America absolutely immune to
communist propaganda. All that they
would have to do would be to tackle the prob
lem of unemplOymt MT. It is not problem
TO be sure, which can be solved in day; but
II American business would once promise to
solve it,. that in itself would fasten the at
tention Of both workers and unemployed upon
ag1tators who now get hearing. 90" Cdy en-
phasis)
And what kind Of balyhooey shall the capt.
tadsts use in promising to solve the lInempIoy-
ment problem, in order to distract attention
from the agitators"9 Mr.. Filene's slogan for the
capitahsttc demagogues is production for the
masseS'.
Genuine mass production industries must
make prices lower and lower and wages higher
and higher, while constantly shortening the
workday and bringing TO the masses not only
more money but more time In which to use and
enjoy the ever-increasing volume of industrial
products"
And how does Mr.. F1lene promise to bring this
aboutS Why. by the goodness of the business
men OF America Sometimes Mr.. Filene says
they win do it because mass consumption will
make business profits greater and greater. But
Mr.. Filene knows as well as anybody else that
real mass consumption means the disappearance
OF private profits. For profits Is Just this the
Withholding from the working masses of the
latest slice Of what they have produced and are
prevented from consuming, which the capitalist
keeps for himself So Filene trots out another
explanation Of why business men viii briny
about social system OF mass production and
consumption: that business men will see that In
an economy of mass consumption and produc-
ton private fortunes will offer few advantages
Behold, the usual trick Of taking over the

Unemployment Increases
and Wages Go Doevn
in Textiles
By Labor Research Association.

The New York Times Annalst index Of exs~
ployment shows for textiles as group declins
from TAT in January, 1881, to TIL in January,
1882. This is drop of nearly S0% below the
average employment of the 1s23-25 period
The figures of the U. s. Bureau of Labor Stat
istics shows similar drop although they cover
only up to December, 1881 In that month,
employment in cotton goods manufacturing was
26.2%c below that in 1926; but the total payrol1s
in the industry showed much more drastic
decIine-43.2%-in the same period, rejecting
not only the tens of thousands of workers laid
off entirely but also the great increase in part
time work and the wage cuts for those who still
had any Jobs at all. ...d
Wooden and worsted plants showed by Deem
Der, 1881, a drop in employment of 546, but
drop In payrolls of 43.2% below 1925. Carpets and
rug plants showed drop in employment Of
36.9%, but wages dropped 451q. In silk goods
the employment drop was 291SS while payrols
dropped 42.196. In the dyeing and finishing Of
textiles employment fell of only 17T, but wages
were 1857 below 1926.
Figures issued by the Department of Labor and
Industries of Massachusetts show something of
the extent Of both full unemployment and part
time work in typical textile plants Of that state.
Reports from 40 cotton mills showed that the
plants normally employ 1924 workers: but in
december tney employed only lS,ziU, ana IN jan
uary only 1854, and of these only 1882 were
employed full time. In wooden and worsted goods
plants normal employing 1857, only 1o,43e we're
employed in January, and only 1882 of these had
full time jobs And in silk goods plants where
3237 are normally employed only 651 had full
time jobs in January.
Average weekly earnings Of cotton mill workers
who had jobs in the reporting mills in Massa-
chusetts in January were SAT-; those OF WOODEN
and worsted workers were $z872 those Of silk
workers were 1880 The lowest average wages
of any city in the state in December, 1881, were
paid in New Bedford ($139D. In Fall River the
average of the few plants reporting was 1884.

HOOVER WARNS
AGAINST RELIEF
BILL PUBLICITY
Spotlight on Loans Would
Harm Credit, View of
Executive.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, July 15.-Presi-
dent Hoover today bluntly warned
senate conferees on the S2,122, O00,-
600 relief bill that the publicity fea-
ture on Reconstruction Finance
Corporation loans, the portion of the
bill that thus far has deadlocked
the measure-would do incalculable
damage to the nations credit struc-
ture.
A White House statement on the
subject was issued after an hours
conference win senators, who have
been comforting with representatives
in an effort to put the bill in final
form, treasury officials and direc-
tors OF the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation.
1t was indicated by senators who
attended the conference that Mr.
Hoover would not veto the bill
again, even if it contained the
clause of which he disapproyed.
Up to Congress
The White House statement
placed upon congress final respon-
sibility for fate of relief legislation.
The text of it follows:
The President states that his
policy has been to give the fullest
publicity II all government activity,
but that he wished congress to be
fully apprised of it's responsibility,
in view of the emergency situation,
and also of the unique relations of
the Reconstruction Finance Corpo-
ration with insurance companies,
banks, financial institutions, and
savings banks"
At the conference, the reconstruc-
ton board members expressed
unanimous opposition to the pub
licity feature.
Seeks Excuse, Says Garner
Speaker John Garner declared
that President Hoover was attempt
ing to make publicity for recon-
struction corporations loans the Eek
cuse" for the panic which he is
expecting around the corner"
THE President is looking for
panic around the corner" the
Speaker added, "and he is looking
for any excuse he can find, since
we have passed all the legislation
which he had asked"
The house sent the relief bill to
conference with the senate-a con-
ference expected to clear all points
IN disagreement and speed final
passage.
