RETAIL SALES
TAX DEBATED

SAN FRANCISCO, July ID. U.H
"A consumers retail sales tax,
favored by many legislators as the
best means of raising money to
balance the state budget, was stud
led by the joint legislative tax COM
mittee in session here today.
A special committee composed of
two senators and two aSsemblymen
encountered several difficult ques-
tions while attempting to draw up
a sales tax plan, and these ques-
tions were submitted to the joint
conference today.
Among the first problems dis
cussed was the question whether
the tax bill should require a per-
NIT before a person is permitted
to engage in retail selling. The
committee decided affirmatively.
Other troubling questions = de-
bated were:
Should the statute require all
persons subject to tax to put up a
bond, or only those engaged in
handling business at retail?
Is 1t desired that the sales tax
constitute a "lien on all the pro-
perty of retailers?'
Should the sale" of meals at
restaurants and other eating places
be considered as rendition of SER
vice and not strictly the sale of
goods? Should meals be taxed?
And most puzzling of all ques-
tions was
What should be the rate?"
Senator Ralph Swing, San Ber-
nardino, made the tax proposal to
the committee of senators and as
semblymen, and the sales tax pro-
posal was accepted. Swing sug-
gested a three per cent levy.
which he estimated wiuld raise
sos, 100000 of the expected s117,-
100000 state deficit.
Working with Swing in an at
tempt to devise a plan are Senator
Walter Duval of Ventura and AS
semblyman Charles Lyon, Los An
geles, and B. T. Feigenbaum. San
Francisco.
The joint committee, by vote of
7 to 4 decided not to specify eX-
emption of foodstuffs in the pro-
posed levy.
Heated arguments were expect
ed later today during the discussion
of gasoline tax.

SUPER-CABINET AND ROOSEVELT
IN FIGHT TO STIMULATE TRADE

with the effort to speed the spread
of employment and increase of
wages in private industry. Both
aim to build up the recovery pro-
gram from the bottom by increas-
ing individual buying power.
The country now is in the period
when trade normally is at the bot
tom of the summer slump, Mr..
Roosevelt has been informed by the
statistical agencies of the govern
ment. Despite healthy develop
ments on other fronts, department
store sales have been less than en-
ycouraging. They are considered
among the fundamental indicators
of business conditions and pros
poets.
June sales we're down 08 per cent.
The normal slump for July is 25
per cent below normal trading ac-
tivity.
In contrast to these figures was
the report carried to Mr.. Roosevelt
by Governor Pinchot Of PennSyl-
vania that employment is up per
cent. President William A. Green
of the American Federation of
Labor informed Mr.. Roosevelt that
unemployment was continuing into
July at about the pace of May
when 100000 jobleSs were employed.
Cite Other Depressions
But this stimulation of employ
ment is not being Immediately re-
flected in retail purchases. Exam
ination of the experience of past
depressions shows this lag to be
customary in emerging from slack
business periods. This is explained
in part. perhaps, by diversion of
a considerable portion of the first
new wages earned to payments of
debts by those who have been liv-
ing on borrowed money.
In previous recovery periods pro-
duction and prices have reacted more
speedily than employment and pay
rolls. That is the normal sequence
of recovery. The President is hope
full that under the broad powers
granted him by the last congress
it may be possible to upset that
normal sequence somewhat to Stim-
ulate the rise in employment and
payroll figures.
The extent to which production
is outrunning payrolls and employ
ment is indicated by recent labor
department and federal reserve
statements showing that in April
and May production was up 18 in
deX points. PayrollS were up 54
points and employment 80 points

SPEED
ON RECOVERY
Continued From Page u

General Johnson. TIe is showing
more patience than some of his
aides, who feel that such a large
basic industry should be among the
first to get into line. Hesitation
over collective bargaining with lab
or is one of the specific causes of
the steel code delay. From the time
the elder j. P. Morgan put the late
Judge Ebert Gary at the head of
the U. s. Steel corporation, it has
waged a relentless fight against
labor unions.
Expect Showdown
This group strongly dislikes the
provision of the MIRA which re-
quires recognition of collective bar
gaining in all codes.
A showdown between the Morgan
dominated steel industry and the
Roosevelt administration would add
a spectacular chapter to the story
of the last few months. The house
of Morgan was regarded as cool
toward President Roosevelt's IS can
didacy from the start. Soon after
he became President, he put new
life into the senate banking invest
igation which resulted in the sum-
moning of the Morgan partners and
the disclosure of their long kept
business secrets.
The recovery experiment, in
volying government partnership
with industry, runs contrary to the
traditional views of some great
New York banking houses. ]. P.
Morgan gave his public approval to
President Roosevelt S action in
taking the country off the gold
standard, but he has signified no
further approval of the admins
tration s economic policies.

To RECESS
BY HARRY FLORY
limited Press Staff CnrresnnnI

LONDON, July IA. --Tacitly con-
Tossing their inability to make prog
resS, the general staff of the world
economic conference.-the so-called
little bureau or steering committee
today decided to arrange a recess
for July 81.
The full steering committee of
the conference will be asked to call
a plenary session to make the for
NAL decision to recess in view of
the impossibility of reaching decis-
ions so long as the United States
refuses to stabilize its currency.
Before this, the conference two
big committees, on monetary and
economic problems, will meet to re-
ceiye reports from all their sub
committees.
The United States won a hollow
victory today by persuading the
commercial policy Subcommittee to
draft its report so that nations
would be committed to resume eff
forts after currency stabilization
has been effected to scale down
tariffs and abolish quotas. The
gold standard nations had refused
to discuss tariffs before then.
Senator James CouzenS (RepO
Michigan, objected to the second
paragraph which urged creditor ma
tionS to continue to help maintain
the credit of debtor nations "by
pursuing appropriate financial and
economic policies.''
This meant in fact resumption of
international lending.
