Let's try the sales tax for a year
and see what it produces" said Mrs
Norton. 1T should be made as low as
possible. and food, low Ned clothes
and drugs should be exempt
"A sales tax would be more equit-
able than an income tax in the Dis
trict In view of the conditions here
which would permit SO many exemp-
tions. Moreover, I believe an income
tax would be difficult of enforcement "
Arnold said he preferred a sales tax
to an income tax, particularly in view
of the questions raised as to its valid
ity in the District. "A sales tax would
not cause any hardships," he said,
but I believe there should be no ex-
emptions-not even food or clothing" "
Nichols, who strongly favors a sales
tax, also believes there should be no
exemptions. incidentally, he has
drafted bill which the tax subcom-
mittee has under consideration pro-
viding for a one-h half per cent general
sales tax which he estimates will yield
$4,5O0O00 in additional revenue each
year.
2 Per Cent Levy Planned.
In supporting the sales tax, Ran
dolph pointed out that when his
native State of West Virginia adopted
the plan it was met with bitter" op-
position, but now he believed 90 per
cent of the people favored it. Il be-
lieve it has been rather good tax"
he declared, and I feel its adoption
In the District might be partial So
luton Of the present tax problem"
Randolph explained the West Vir-
ginia tax amounted to per cent on
all commodities having retail price
of 10 cents or more. The Commits
sioners' program calls for a 2 per cent
tax
McGehee likewise favors a sales tax
without any exemptions. and expressed
the belief it would be "easier to COL
lect' than an income tax The sales
tax, he explained, can be collected
Immediately and since the District
is in such dire need of additional
revenue, it would be preferable to an
income tax which could not be COL
lected for some time.
While Allen has indicated a pref
erence for an income tax, he believes
that the sales tax as well as an income
tax will eventually have to be adopted
to produce the revenue needed to keep
the District out of arrears. Delaware,
which Allen alone represents in the
House, does not have sales tax.
Dirksen, leading the fight for an
income tax, argued that it would

TAX PLAN FREES
FOOD, MEDICINES
But Set-Up Approved by City
Heads Does Not Exempt
CIothinu.

Food and medicine will be the only
products specifically exempted from
the application of the 2 per cent
sales tax, advocated by the Commits
sioners as the major element OF their
"stop-gap," budget balancing reve-
nue. program, District officials revealed
yesterday as they completed the rough
draft of the bill
The measure does not provide for
exemption Of clothing and defni-
tlons are to be inserted to provide
that food products would not be taken
to mean candy, soft drinks or other
CONNECTIONS, nor any alcoholic bever-
ages
The bill will provide, also, that
the sales tax be paid on food sold at
restaurants, hotels and lunch coun-
ters, or otherwise served for a con-
slderation, 1t was explained by Cor
poration Counsel Elwood H. Seal.
He indicated, however, there might
be change to permit an exemption
for food bought at eating establish
1ngs up to certain nominal amount,
perhaps so cents. This point may be
determined tomorrow when Seal and
Richard B. Keech, vice chairman of
the Public Utilities Commission, and
Vernon E. West, assistant corporation
counsel, meet to place finishing
touches on the bill

Meanwhile. recalculation of the
estimates OF revenues under the Com

the grand total receipts would be

general fund" The remainder, or
81 900, to be raised from a l-cent

exclusively for highway improve
ments
While the deficit in the general
fund" is calculated at s6l4so oOo
under the 1888 District budget As
passed by the House and measured
against estimates of revenues from
the existing tax levies, District officials
anticipate the deficit total may 70 to
s7S00,o00 as the budget comes finally
out OF the congressional mill. II
81 100000 Is added to the relief item

Ihe House in its action on the
budget Topped items totaling 1882 900
on the supply bill as approved by the
Budget Bureau. The Commissioners
are seeking to have these cuts re-
stored and for this reason are plan
ming the tax program to produce
additional revenue exceeding the
Sc, ,146 900 figure. Also. it is explained,
the District must have cushion" to
allow Tor increases in budget which
may be inserted as result Of Senate
action.
District officials, therefore, do not
believe they have departed from their
promise not to seek any greater reve-
nues than needed to meet the deficit.
The proposed gas tax boost is designed
to provide more adequately for high
way needs. Several costly traffic en-
glneering projects are held necessary.

pay. A sales tax reaches everybody,
regardless Of their ability to pay. I
fear, too, a sales tax would set prece-
dent and run away with itself. When
ever additional revenues are needed
the sales tax would be increased"
Dirksen's own State Of Illinois, how
ever, has a general sales tax, which is
yielding q large part of the revenue
from taxation. Treasury Department
figures show the revenue from the
sales tax in Illinois jumped from $32,-
ST. 900 in 1884 to $64 1889 900 in 1896.
The State has no income tax.
Indiana also had a general sales
tax, but Its two members on the Dis
trict Committee-Mrs. Jenckes and
Schulte-are opposed to its adoption
in the District. Indiana, according to
Treasury figures, raised $l0,38s. 900
from sales tax in 1884 and $l6,-
$4,000 in 1896.
