COMMENTS BY LABOR, FARM,
POLITICAL, AND BUSINESS
LEADERS ON THE
SALES TAX:

The American Farm Bureau Fed
GRAFTON. through its representative,
Chester H. Gray. appearing before a
Congressional committee. made the
following comment:
"A general sales tax is constantly
opposed by the American Farm Blu
reau Federation for the broad reason
that it is based on the necessity to
consume rather than ability to pay"
The Farmers Educational and Co
operative Union of America, of which
the late John A. Simpson was pres
ident, sent a resolution to Congress
opposing a general sales tax.
]. S. Jones, secretary Of the Min
nesota Farm Bureau Federation. who
has given considerable study to the
tax problem. especially as regards the
farm population, says:
The sales tax is not new idea.
1t was employed by some countries
years ago and its history has not
been encouraging. Revenue accruing
from this tax must be paid by either
the producer or the consumer as Is
being done in the general property
tax"
The National Grange Committee on
Taxation submitted to the Ways and
Means Committee Of the National
House Of Representatives resolutions
containing the following comment:
The National Grange expresses its
conviction that any just system of
taxation requires that taxes be levied
in proportion to benefits received and
to ability to pay.
We urge the passage of laws that
will force luxury and privilege to pay
a part Of the cost of government, thus
relieving farms, homes. and general
business from some of its too heavy
burden.
I'VE favor distribution of a portion
Of the proceeds Of the federal income
and estate tax among the states on

chants today would cause tremendous
expense to the government to collect
and enforce the tax, additional ex
pense and inconvenience to retailers
in maintaining their sales records
and, above, all would contribute sub
stantially to wiping out their meagel
net profit"
Consumer Pays.
Professor Harold Groves of the De.
partment of Economics at the Un1ver.
sity Of Wisconsin and one Of Amer.
ica's leading tax authorities, in his
booklet, "A Tax Policy for the United
States" writes:
1T is plain enough that the state
sales tax does not escape the cogent
objections that were offered in Con-
gress against national sales tax. In
fact state sales tax is more objec-
tionable since it is far more diff
cult to administer and creates more
problems in interstate competition be-
tween industries. The fact that SO
per cent of the purchases of goods
and services are made by consumers
receiving less than $4,000 a year is
as important in the one field as it Is
in the other. Moreover, large share
of state and local revenue is already
raised by a definitely regressive tax
that is paid directly or indirectly by
the humblest citizen. No one escapes
the general property tax, for it is re-
Elected in rent. The tax is regressive
in actual practice both because local
assessors quite universally favor
large property owners, Intentionally
or otherwise, and because large part
of the tax is shifted and-like the
sales tax-is paid by the consumer.
To use the sales tax as a supplement
is to add a second regressive tax and
a further burden to those who are
already staggering under the load of
the property tax"
Support Patman.Robinson Bill.
Independent merchants all over
Minnesota and America must inform
themselves on the main features of
the Patman investigation. The eff
forts of the chain group crowd to or
ganize the Independent Merchants
into a group in which they were to
be the dominant power and the ex-
pose of inside trade discounts to the
chain group absolutely demonstrates
the fact that if the independents are
not effectively organized they cannot
continue to exist, fighting their
battles as individuals. Collective eff
forts, more information among the
rank and file members as to their
own problems and less dependence
upon a few hard working leaders
will achieve more results for the
large group of Independent retail
druggists and merchants, eliminate
discriminating prices by the manu-
facturer to the chain, and selling
below the retailers cost, condi-
ton too often prevalent. All retailers
should present united front for the
Patman-Robinson Bill and National
and State Fair Trade Act.

tor, Herbert P. Sheets, used these
words:
"Unequivocal opposition to any form
of sales tax, turnover tax, or luxury
tax. Objections to these variations
of the sales tax are so well known
that they need not be repeated here,
except that, regardless of the original
theory of the luxury tax, no one can
today determine the demarcation be-
tween essentials and Injuries; so that
it seems manifestly unfair that GER

Inheritance taxes; (c) gift taxes"
