SALES TAX similar
TO I0WA'S PLAN IS
PROPOSED FOR \. D,
Senate Subcommittee consid-
ers Two Per Cent on
Gross Receipts

Following an investigation Of sales
tax laws adopted in other states, the
subcommittee OF the senate COM
mittee on taxes and tax laws Saturday
reported back With recommendation
for adoption Of a retail sales tax
patterned from the law now operat-
ing In Iowa.
Decision on whether to introduce
the proposal, involving tax Of 2
per cent on the gross receipts OF all
sales with certain exemptions, as a
bill Of the committee was deferred
until Monday.
Also to be heard Monday are re-
ports OF the subcommittee on hard
liquor revenue laws, consolidation OF
counties, and consolidation OF insti-
tutions Of higher learning.
Ask $25,0O0 Appropriation
An appropriation of $685. 900 to
initiate operation OF the tax law is
asked In q tentative draft Of the
bill which provides for administra-
ton by the state tax commissioner,
with revenue to be credited 50 per
cent to the state equalization fund
and so per cent to the real estate
bond interest fund.
Estimating the act would produce
approximately 100000 annually,
Fowler OF Cass, member OF the sub.
committee, explained that with mon
ey to run the state government
badly needed" the sales tax pro-
posal produces comparatively sure
source OF revenue"
Fowler said the committee
thought It wise to take advantage
OF the money Iowa spent IN conduct
Ing a thorough and intensive study"
Of various acts OF other states.
Tax on Retail Sales
The proposed bill would impose
tax Of per cent upon the gross re-
ceipts from:
All sales OF tangible personal prop
erty, consisting Of goods. wares. or
merchandise sold at retail.
Gross receipts from sales. furnish
ings or service OF gas, electricity.
water and communication service,
including gross receipts from such
sales by any municipal corporation
when sold at retail.
All sales Of tickets or admissions
to places Of amusement and athletic
events.
Relief agencies would apply to the
tax commissioner for refunds.
The state tax commissioner would
provide for issuance and sale Of
coupons.
Greene Of Stutsman favored the
coupon system for two reasons. that
It provides a check against evasion,
and 1t would bring an immediate In
come to the state because retailers
would purchase the coupon books
for sale to consumers.
Some Classes Harder Hit
While the sales tax measure Is a
uniform 2 per cent tax, indications
were separate bills would be drawn
to hit some classes harder-such as
amusements, cigarets. tobacco and
beer.
Two liquor revenue laws probably
will be presented Monday to the
main tax committee.
One proposal Is for state liquor
stores to be operated by employees OF
the state, and the other Is a mu-
nicipal store bill with local option.
Under the municipality measure,
liquor stores would be permitted in
each incorporated city having a pop
ulation OF 200 or more with citizens
voting to determine whether the store
should operate
Stamps taxing liquor so cents per
gallon. wines UP TO "a per cent, 20
cents: and wines from II per cent
to a. per cent or more. so cents, is
provided in the municipality bill.
