THE NEW
SALES TAX
Questions and Answers Designed
To Acquaint Residents With the
Working of New Sales Tax. In
Effect May list.

Just how will the sales tax to go
into effect May l affect you as a
citizen?
Question: hear the state is
going to charge 2 per cent of each
retail sale.

O.: What's a retail sale?
A: Well, the Tax Commission
says it's sale of tangible personal
property like an automobile, a
radio or a saxophOne.
O.: Is that all?
A.: No. If you buy the article
for reselling or for consuming in

substance--the bought article to be
used as an ingredient or component
or if it's a chemical used inprocess-
ling, you don't have to pay tax
O.: Some examples, please.
A.: Not considered retail sales
and hence non-taxable under the
law are sales of food to persons
producing for sale milk, eggs, wool,
fur, meat or other substances OBJ
tanned from livestock, animals or
poultry
O.: 1t seems to me this sales
tax makes the consumer pay all the
bills.
A.: The consumer always pays
the bill. He's affected by property
taxes even If he doesn't own prop
erty. When taxes are upped, so is
his rent And other taxes are the
same. Eventually the consumer is
fthe man who pays. But we're all
consumers.
G.: That sounds reasonable But
what about food? Is that taxed too?
A.: Not staple commodities. If
you buy the following foods and
eat them away from the store, you
don't have to pay any tax: Fresh
sweet milk, canned milk, raw I'M
processed fruits and vegetables,
butter. eggs, cheese, and unsweet-
ened bread in loaf form which in
cludes rolls and buns.
O.: How are you going to spend
the money you collect from the
sales tax?
Al: Nearly~1-5th of the fund.-
Irabout .S1,45O,OO0 goes for relief.
o. What's the lother 45ths for?
= A.: Nearly 35ths goes to the
kpuplic schools, and almost per
cent of the total goes to higher ed
kucation, college, and three nromal
schools. Less than 18th in the state
general fund.
O.: What's the last fifth spent
for? t.
A.: The states got to have mon
ey to administer the law, and run
other DEPARTMENTS and state insti-
buttons, and hat fifth helys pay for
| the work. Besides, 5 per cent of
| it goes to help pay old age pensions
Further, as you know, the state
kcan't levy on real estate for state
purposes
O.: Let's talk about exemptions
What about my dentist? Is he
going to CHI ge me per cent extra
for each filing?
A.: Not your life. Hi sis a
service tran lction. He pays IL
of 1 per Ger on his gross business
Income, and that's all there is to
lit.
O.: Supr7"e L ma farmer and
