Here are some reasons why gross
income tax should not be passed, the
reasons Tor most Of them) being like
wise applicable to any sales tax:
The revenue from a gross income
tax is so uncertain as to make it most
unreliable. Estimates at the joint
meeting of the amount it would pro-
duce in this state varied from 100000
900 to $6O.OO0.O0O, based on a tax rate
of One-half of one per cent. with 81 900
exemptions. The best informed tax
opinion places the estimate between
$1O,0OO.0OO and $12,0OO,OOO. South
Dakota last year adopted a gross in
come tax and it was estimated re-
ceipts would be about 100000. Col
lections were only $2,5OO.OOO. Other
taxes had been reduced by 100000
and South Dakota now finds itself in
a position where its citizens face not
only the usual tax load, but also the
interest payments on the debt occa-
stoned by the unreliability of the
gross income tax.

an income Of $1,000 year spends al
most all of it. The man with an in
come of 100000 a year lives comfort
ably. yet saves at least 35 per cent of
his income. The man with an income
of s1,OOO,OOO a year saves more than
rs per cent. Only that which is spent
is taxed; that which is saved escapes
taxation. The poor man would thus
be paying a tax on 100 per cent of
his income while the extremely
wealthy man would be paying tax
on less than "a per cent of his income.
Stated differently, the poor man would
pay a one-half of one per cent tax and
the rich man one-eighth of one per
cent. Two-thirds of all consumers
goods are bought by persons of a
low-level income.
