SALE TAX, HITS
INCOME LEVY
BY J. HAMILTON LEWIS
u. s. Senator From Illinois
(Written Expressly for the Hearst
NewspaperN)

(WFttten Expressly for the Hearst
EewspaperS)
z am in favor Of Congress
enacting into law a general
manufacturers sales tax. 1t should
be done at the present session Of
Congress.
There are many compelling
reasons which cause me to take
this view.
A low tax applied on the price
Of articles as they are sold by
the manufacturers, one rate ap-
plying to all, would be fair and
equitable. It would afford a
large flow of revenue to our Fed
eral Treasury to finance the rou-
tine activities of the Government
and the national recovery pro-
gram now under way.
Would Exempt Food
I would exempt from the tax
all food, clothing and medicine.
With these exemptions the tax
would not fall upon those barely
able to survive. It would remove
q handicap from our millions Of
unemployed.
One reason why favor the
general manufacturers sales tax
Is that it would provide for uni
Sormity in every State.
A sales tax levied on manufac.
Surers would be largely absorbed
by them and the middlemen, 50
that purchasers from retailers
would scarcely know a tax had
been paid. In countries like Can
ada, which have the sales tax, il
has met with general approval. II
has been successful.
Hits Income Tax
1t should be noted that the Ma
tional Association of Manufactur
erS' has declared for a general
manufacturers sales tax. Evi
dently these manufacturers be
Ieve it to be a fair levy.
Excessive income surtax rates
do not bring revenue to the Gov
ernment. There is a limit beyond
which surtaxeS are no longer pro
ductive of revenue An unjust
rate paralyzes collection.
Through adoption of a Fedora
manufacturers sales tax the way
would be open to tighten the ta1
burden on small businesses.

UNIFIED FIGHT ON CRIME

a PERMANENT national institute of crimi-

Attorney Generals recent conference on crime,
ought to be an excellent means of helping the
cause OF law enforcement throughout the
country.
Joseph B. keenan,, Assistant Attorney Cen

greatly by the fact that each city and each
state is independent in its law enforcement
activities Some method of co-ordinating their
work must be found.
A national body which could tie Federal,
state and local crime prevention and detection
agencies together would make the task of
cracking down on the crook a great deal easier
With such body in active existence. it

A THWARTED LYNCHING

CHERIFF CANT did his duty when he tried
~ to calm the mob at Shelbyvile, Tenn.
Judge Coleman did his duty by declaring a
mistrial in the case of E. K. Harris, the Negro,
when the mob surrounded tho Courthouse The
mob set fire to the Courthouse.
The Tennessee National Guard did its duty,
training its guns upon the charging mob and
carrying the prisoner away to safety. The
mob overturned and burned the guards motor
trucks.
Shelbyville police did their duty, risking
their lives to save the City Hall from the torch.
The fremen did their duty, fighting the
Courthouse flames. The mob cut the fire hose.
Gov. McAllister did his duty by sending
more troops to restore law and order in
Shelbyville
1t now remains for Shelbyville prosecutors
to punish the vandals and round out a per-
feet score of official courage in Tennessee
in this one case.
Back of and largely responsible for the
bloody Wednesday in Shelbyville were three
successful lynchings in Tennessee in the last
10 months Two white men and ore Negro
were the victims and the latter was lynched
in Bedford County, Of which Shelbyville is the
county seat. He was lynched after a grand jury
had refused to indict him. In these three
lynchings, Tennessee officers did not do their
duty, and because they failed mob spirit spread
in the state.
But on Wednesday, Tennessee authorities
demonstrated how a mob should be handled
A few more such salutary performances by
local authorities might end cowardly lynchings
in this country.
