Sales Taxes and
Other Taxes
Continued from Page ~
Small Income Groups Hit.

A person with a $4,000 income
would spend on food 1920; clothing
1O.S%6; personal 500. or a total of
approximately 1870 of his annual in
come.
A person with a $1,000 income
would spend on food 1850; clothing
S.3%; personal 9.2%, or a total Of 1870
of his income which would be taxed
under a general sales tax program.
A person with an income Of $4,000
would spend on food 1O.4%; clothing
$40; personal 1879, a total of a
little over 27%.
A person earning 100000 annually
would spend on food 226; clothing,
1.1%; personal 4.2%, or a total Of
7h% of his total income.
Easy on High Income Group.
A person with an income of over
a million dollars annually would
spend on food 30; clothing 10, per-
sOnal 10, or only about ~ of 10 of
his total income for which he would
be taxed in a general sales tax plan.
1t is therefore very evident that
prOpOrtionately the individual with a
small income would be paying entirely
too much of the tax burden under a
general sales tax.
There are many kinds of cOnsum-
ers, ranging from the man who
scarcely makes a living, to the indi-
vidual whose expenditures for lux
uries would keep many people in COM
fort. The last $1,000 which brings a
mans income to the million dollar
level is not nearly so important to
him as the first thousand to another
person, which represents the differ
ence between starvation and living,
or the second thousand which is the
difference between subsistence and
some comforts.
UnfairneSs of the Tax.
The figures given are conservative.
Some statisticians hold that a worker
earning a thousand dollars a year
spends approximately 500 of his
income on necessities of life that
would be affected by. a general retail
sales tax. But taking only 50% of
his $1,000 income he would neverthe-
less pay a tax of $500 if the sales tax
was 20; $1,000 if go and $500 if
80. For every thousand dollars of
his entire income, the million dollar

today of the President that He Is
not a fascist" 1t would seem that our
liberties are safe in the custody OF a
President who, for three years. has
resisted the opportunity to assume
a dictatorship. That is the answer to
Father Coughlin, the Liberty League
and the Republican party who seek
to cast the shadow of doubt regarding
President Roosevelt's loyalty to Amer
lean institutions.

WHO is FASCIST +?

The Pilgrims came to the
American shores more than 800
years ago tofget away from king
doms, crown princes, heir appar-
ents, czars, autOcracy, and the
like, to establish a country Of
democracy, where man is free.
Democracy is American, it is the
ideal of our citizens, and while
things have happened that have
not been as democratic as they
might have been, freedom is
nevertheless the true spirit of
vast majority of our people. We
want government from the bottom
up and not from the top and
down.
Therefore if there is anything
Americans will fight against it is
fascist regime. Our forefathers
declared for the inalienable
right of every citizen to life, lib
erty, and the pursuit of happi-
ness, and our constitution guaran-
tees free speech, free press, and
the right of assemblage.
In the open forum column of
The Minneapolis Journal, What
Other People Think" appeared an
article by Cliff Blanchard of Min
neapolis, the other day, under the
title, Who Is the Fascist" The
article pertains to presidential
candidates, their background, af-
filiations, etc., and reads as fol-
lows:
Referring to President Roosevelt
and Governor Landon, Rev. Charles E.
Coughlin said in an address delivered
at Hankinson, N. D., go back and
tell your friends that II either is in
stalled in the White House there will
be no election in 1910. Fascism will
be here and Communism will be max
ing bid for power"
But Norman Thomas has put the
finger on Father Coughlin as one OF
the leaders who is endeavoring to
polish off this country for fascism
Mr.. Thomas stated recently that Mr.
Lemke and his assorted hackers
Father Coughlin. the Rev. Gerald
Smith and DR.. Townsend, far more
nearly approach the fascist pattern
Lemke's platform, with its impossible
promises of something for everybody
under capitalism, closely parallels the
Nazi platform. The way in which
Lemke was nominated by himself and
Father Coughlin was fascist and not
democratic" Further, Mr.. Thomas
added that "Mr Roosevelt never advo.
Gated the totalitarian state. He
is not fascist, and Republican dec.
larations or insinuations that he is q
fascist arise from ignorance or hypo
crisy."
AS long ago as September 10, 1888
Norman Thomas said of the New Dea
in an article in The Journal: Mr.
Roosevelt has not yet given us, in any
true and Objectionable sense, diota
torship. Nor has he tried to make Us
drunk or crazy with fascist nationa
emOtionalism. The question is, how
ever good his intentions, whether We
can escape these things under state
capitalism"
After three long. eyentful years Mr.
Thomas, arch-foe Of fascism, can say

BANK ALSO HIT
WHEN PLAN
ABANDONED
Z Attempts to Merge
Petroleum Firms
Collapse
By ERIC FRIEDHEIM
International News Service

Details of an unsuccessful at
tempt by Interstate Equities, Inc,
New York Trust, and Banc-
america-Blair, investment bank
ing house, to effect a merger be-
tween two oil companies, which
resulted in heavy losses, were dis
closed today by the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
Pursuing his questioning Of
former Interstate officials as
part Of the commissions inquiry
into investment trust practices,
Commission Counsel David
Schenker drew from Hunter S.
Marston, an Interstate director,
the admission that the firm had
lost 100000 in seeking to bring
about a merger between Sinclair
Consolidated Oil Corporation and
the Tidewater Associated Oil
Company.
Another Oil Loss
Only yesterday Edward r. Tinker,
former president of Interstate, told
how the compny lost $395,000 in
an unsuccessful effort to bring
about the merger of Sinclair Con-
solidated and the Rio Grande Oil
Company of California. Sinclair
Consolidated was headed by Harry
Sinclair. Both transactions took
place in 1880 and 1881.
To effect the Sinclair-Tidewater
merger, Bancamerica, Interstate.
and Mission Securities, Ltd, formed
a syndicate by which Mission was
to acquire 1,078,123 shares of Tide
water stock from the Standard
Oil Company of New Jersey. Mis-
sion agreed to pay $23,000,00 in
three equal payments to Standard
on the condition that the entire
block Of stock would be purchased.
Under the terms Of the Syndi-
Gates agreement, Interstate was
assigned a 10 per cent interest. and
when the first payment of approx
imately 100000 was made to-
ward the acquisition of Tidewater
stock, Interstate put UP 100000
in cash.
Between the time this first pay
ment was made by the syndicate
and the time set for the second
installment, value of Tidewater
stock dropped so low on the ex-
change that the syndicate aban-
doned the merger plan.
MarSton admitted that the
100000 contributed by Interstate
was placed on the company's books
at a loss.
