In an intensive drive to get ev-

For-Congress committee has ar
ranged for transportation of Ell
Centre voters who may have cars
bring them to and from the polls

;. Edgar, nelnDeTS Ol Jllt 0Jdte DUAL u
of Equalization, in whose office
the tax is administered.
No other state has had such
satisfactory results from its sales
tax levies. The report points out
that examination of sales tax
data from more than twenty states
discloseS hat California collections
far surpaSS those made elsewhere.
Illinois, where the revenue most
nearly approaches that derived
here. has annual sales tax collec-
tions approximating 100000, ,O00
The population is about two mil
lion greater than in California.
The rate of tax is the same. but
applies to gasoline and to food
StuffS.
Since exemption of these COM
modities reduces the yield by at
least 25 per cent, if We had the
same tax base in California that
prevails in Illinois, our sales tax
collections here would be S96,000,-
900 per year.
This comparison is not intend
ed as a reflection on Illinois sales
tax administration. which we un-
derstand is regarded as reasonably
effective, but merely TO show what
excellent results have been obtain
ed in California where collections
have averaged S6,000,000 per month
during the past fiscal year con-
tracted with S50O0000 in a STATE
where the population is a third
larger and the tax base a quarter
greater"
Recognizing that some of this
difference may be attributed to
more prosperous conditions in
California the board report con-
cludeS with this observation:
Granting that California should
excel in sales tax collections as it
does in other things. We take what
we believe TO be pardonable pride
in the remarkable results which
have been obtained under Our ad-
ministration of the Act. The loose
charges of losses in collection,
wholly unsubStantiated by facts,
could only have emanated from
those whose criticism is actuated
by political bias rather than by any
honest desire to contribute to the
public welfare"
