Data Given for A Biggest Cities.

Data Given for A Biggest Cities.
Explaining basic facts In connection
with his tax comparison, Mr.. Parker
declared that he had given consid-
cradle study to the matter of the selec-
ton of the cities in respect to which
data could most prof1tably be pre-
sented. have finally arrived at the
conclusion that the fairest picture Of
the situation will be given by submit
ting statistics for the A largest cities
in the United States in respect to
population"
1T is true" he said, that many
reports in the past on the subject
have given comparative statistics on
only Is cities, namely, those having q
population of from 100000 to 1000 900.
Such a group, however, does not ap.
pear to me representative, for the
following reasons:
"CD The group contains only two
representative Southern cities in addi-
ton to Washington
"(2) It leaves out Of account nearby
cities, such as Richmond, Va.
Large Negro Population Ignored.
"(3) 1t leaves out Of account cities
having large Negro population, such
as Memphis, Tenn, and Atlanta, Ga.
40 1t gives undue weight to New
ark, N. j., and Jersey City, N. j., which
are affected by their proximity to the
metropolitan area of New York.
"I trust that the statistics, in re-
spect to the A largest cities in the
United States, will not be open to the
above defects. Population does affect
the tax burden, but it is not the only
factor. In the case of the group Of
cities selected for comparison, all the
cities have population Of over 180,-
900 and no city of over 10000 has
been omitted from the list. I believe,
therefore, that it cannot be main
tanned that the comparison is other
than fair. On the other hand, while
I have studied the statistics for all 81
cities of over 100000 population, it
appears that by including the statis-
tics for so additional smaller cities,
the comparison would be made more
difficult and might even be open TO
some criticism on the basis of fair.
ness"
In his searching study, Mr.. Parker
included many significant comparisons
which have not hitherto been made,
all of which showed Washington to
be carrying a relatively high tax bur-
den despite the absence of debt land
the improvements which debt repre-
sents), and despite the fact that in
some Of the comparisons State taxes,
as we'll as county and city taxes, are
compared.
Mr.. Parker's many tables show COM
parsons with and without the factor
of State taxes, usually eliminated be-
cause Washington pays no State taxes
and does not enjoy the benefits rep-
resented in State taxes.

FIGHT LOOMS IN
CONGRESS OVER
TAX ON SALES
Method to Be Proposed il
Administration Offers
Different Plan.
BY RUTH FINNEY
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The
sales tax battle may be fought again
at this session of Congress, it was
learned today.
Rep. John w. Mccormack Cd
MasS0 will propose this method of
raising funds to meet farmers con-
tracts and to finance the bonus if
a different plan is proposed by the
Administration. He is a member OF
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee.
1t seems unlikely. at present, that
many of Rep. Mccormack Demo-
cratic colleagues will support him
Few of them distinguish. as he does
between processing tax and a
sales tax, and Democrats have been
squirming uncomfortably as Repub-
licans scored the AAA's tax on the
necessities of life" Likewise the
Republican crusade against taxes
on food and clothing seems to pre-
Guide much sales tax support from
that quarter.
Says LeVleS DIUeT
Mr.. Mccormack said a general
manufacturers excise tax is differ
ent from a processing tax. 1t would
be painless, he suggested, though he
had no good word for the processing
tax.
His sales tax, he said would
carry a lower rate because it would
be spread over more territory. A
ga per cent tax would raise
$500, 900, 900 for benefit payments to
farmers. he said, and if money to
meet interest payments due because
of the bonus were included he
thought per cent would he ample
to cover it. A number of processing
taxes were 4 per cent.
Mr.. Mccormack favors eXempting
necessities of life from the sales
tax.
In the past, Republicans usually
HAYES sponsored the sales tax. For
mer Senator Reed Snoot, once
chairman of the Senate Finance
Committee, favored it. and at pc
riodic intervals over the last 90
years 1t became an issue in that
body.
Garner Favored 1t
When Democrats first captured
the House of Representatives, John
Garner, then Speaker, was for it
In a bitter floor battle, two Repub-
lican liberals, La Guardia of New
York and Swing of California. were
largely responsible for defeating it
President Roosevelt denounced the
sales tax early in his AdminiStra-
ton, silencing most Democrats who
had advocated it in the past. But
the processing taxes for financing
AAA were strictly an Administration
measure and have been defended by
Mr.. Roosevelt and members of his
! Cabinet.
The processing taxes, even though
they have been passed on to the
consumer. have met most bitter op-
position from New England textile
manufacturers. packers and other
large industrial groups. Repub-
licans, however, using them as a
campaign issue. have played upon
the burden they lay on consumers
long the argument of sales tax op-
ponents.
