Amount Received From Sales Tax


The legislature of this state has
re-enacted the sales tax, practically
as it was first enacted. AT the No
vember election in the year 1898,
the voters approved constitution
al amendment limiting property tax
TO ten mills and also voted in fa-
vor of the inaugurating of a system
of old age pensions. The present
sales tax is the result of these two
expressions of the will of the vot-
ers, and the general assembly decid-
ed that it was the only tax which
would produce the needed revenue.
The state government does not use
any Of the sales tax revenue in car
rying out purely state functions,
but it is used solely to provide SER
vice for all in our home counties.
One of the major problems, aside
from the administrative difficulties
of centrally or state collected taxes,
is the method of allocating the rev.
enues back to the political sub-di-
visions where they are needed.
This fundamental difficulty was
greatly increased by the limitation
act, as the school districts, counties,
cities, villages and townships eX-
pected a return which, being re-
placement, would be comparable in
amount to the levy lost by the indi-
vidual district in property taxes.
The loss in revenue due to the ten
mill limitation was estimated to be
between 38 and 40 million dollars.
Morgan county, from Jan. 27 to
Oct. 5, 1885, collected in sales tax
37,027.31; amount apportioned to
county is SCI, 1,799.30. OF this sum
$24 ,088.42 goes to schools; $2,-
74773 for local governments; $27,
472.50 for old age pensions; s713.-
33 for poor relief; $3,835.96 for
county poor relief bonds; $1,149.19

administration costs, $1,792.17.

Few Changes In Sales Tax Law
Use OF Prepaid Tax Cards


The sales tax law passed by the
legislature after weeks OF wrangling
continues the present act to March
81, 1897 1t continues the present
method of levying and collecting
the tax under the mandatory penny
bracket system and through the use
of prepaid tax receipts. In certain
particulars this law. strengthens the
former law in the interest of ven-
dors who have been honestly col
lecting the tax by providing more
stringent machinery for the detec-
tion of those who have refused to
collect it. A series of proposals
which would have provided heavy
exemptions were defeated An ef-
fort to eliminate exemptions on the
sale Of milk, bread. newspapers and
magazines, was defeated. Also the
effort to extend the base to include
service which would have included
advertising, was defeated.
The original sales tax law was
changed in regard to the use by
stores of prepaid tax cards. Their
use had been authorized during the
current year by regulation of the
commission. Under the new law
the tax commission will print and
sell the prepaid tax cards in the
same manner as prepaid tax re-
ceipts are now sold. They will be
available uniformly for use in the
state Under the present plan which
now has been changed by the new
law. vendor company desiring t.
issue prepaid tax cards was requir.
ed to get special permission from
the tax commission to have it's owr
cards printed and affix sales tas
stamps to each. Under the new
plan, uniform card will be issued
by the state and sold to any regis
| tered vendor at cost. 1t must be
imprinted by the vendor, but stamp:
need not be affixed.

tically dictatorial, permitting him not
only to fix prices but also to license
all industry and control raw mate
rails. 1t also has taxation features
that will arouse considerable opposl-
ton. 1t would raise individual income
taxes to per cent in wartime, levy
surtaxes up to "a per cent on incomes
in excess of $4,000, and seize profits
of corporations in excess of 6 per cent
return on invested capital.
The Nye bill gives the President
very broad powers to fix prices Of
commodities, to license industry, to en-
join profiteering and to prevent the
boarding of goods. 1t provides for
the drafting of industrial leaders, who
would be permitted to remain with
their companies, subject to military
law and given rank and compensation
not exceeding that of brigadier gen.
eral.
Meanwhile the house military affairs
committee reported the McSwain bill,
similar to the senate measure but
without the tax features. This lack
made the more radical members angry
but when they tried to amend the bill
they were routed, 25S to II.
