July l, 1854, at Cincinnati (This is the longest game ever
 played on any 1st day of July
 The St. Louis Cardinals whipped the Cincinnati Reds in an exciting eighteen inning game 8 to 6, when the Cards made two runs of relief twirler Derringer, after Freitas was removed in the l7th for a pinch hitter.
 The end of the ninth found these teams tied 5-5, Dizzy Dean and Tony Freitas having pitched just ordinary ball up to this period. However, starting in the 10th, Dean and Freitas extended themselves, and runs from then until the l7th were as scarce as they had been plentiful.
 Not until the 17th was this spell of Deans and Freitas,' in hypnotic ing the opposition, broken. But, when it was broken. 1t was with bang, as Medwick exploded one of Freitas' offerings for home run over the left field wall.
 Not tC be denied, Cincinnati came right back and knotted the score again on Piet's double and Shades single.
 Derringer went to the mound in the 18th, as a pinch-hitter had swung for Freitas in the l7th. Der

Swimming in a wash tub al- ways is good for laugh.
 First lie on your back in the water.
 Then draw your knees well up to the chest, at the same time bringing the head and arms out of the water to meet the knees, which puts you in sort of sitting posture.

The national radio weekIy's poll showed increased apprecia- tiOn of Semi-classical music, at least as far as songs are con- cerned. This Is indicated by Nelson Eddy's amazingly high vote in several classified tions. Second to Benny for the Star of Stars" honor, Eddy was tops in the classical division, second to Don Ameche among the ac- tors, fourth in the popular sing CTS rating. And Vick's Open House, Ehich featured Nelson Eddy, ranked second among all musical programs, finishing just behind Showboat!

SALES TAX NO AID TO FARMERS

Some state laws even explicitly
provide that the tax must be paid
by consumers and must not be
absorbed by the middleman. Ac-
cording to a study by Jens Jen-
sen, Consultant in Taxation for
the Kansas Legislative Council in
1884 and 1886, a one per cent
sales tax including food takes
$500 out of a $1,000 income, a
two per cent tax-$12.18, and a
three per cent tax-$18.27. For
incomes between $1,000 and $4,000
a sales tax including food would
take up the following amounts: one
per cent tax-$5.85, two per cent
tax-$11.72, three per cent tax
$17.58.
According to an estimate of
Business Week, the burden of a
sales tax is go times heavier on
each dollar of the low income re-
Ceiver than on each dollar of the
millionaire's income. In actual
practice, the rates are higher
than those shown on the face of
the act. Small purchases of 10c
to 15c in many states pay a 1c
tax, thus making a rate of as high
as 1919. This again increases the
burden on the small purchaser.
In most states the retail sales
tax rate varies from 296 to 38o
on purchases or sales, and exemp-
lions on certain products or on
purchases of certain amounts
vary from state to state.
The taxes On gross or transac-,

operative marketing and purchas-
ing associations which a number
Of courts have held to be operated
for profit. Mississippi and New
Mexico explicitly exempt coopera-
tive marketing organizations from
the tax and Oklahoma exempts
the proceeds derived from sale
and purchase of raw products
from farmers" In West Virginia
and Wyoming no purchases or
sales of farmers are exempt from
the sales tax.
According to the survey made
by Farm Research, the major sup
port for the passage of sale
taxes came from the American
Farm Bureau, the Hearst publica-
tions, creditors of the state &c
vernments, the FERA and the
RFC. The Reconstruction Finance
Corporation made loans to the
state governments and urged the
passage of sales taxes in order to
make certain the payment of these
loans. The FERA gave support
to the sales tax in order to lower
the amount of federal funds 90
ing for relief. Banks and other
creditors of the state govern
ments saw in the sales tax =
guarantee that their bonds and
loans would he paid.
Farmers were often persuaded
to accept sales tax because OF
the promise that it would reduce
taxes on farm properly. But only
one state law, that Of South Oak.
ota, specifically provides for Us

At the present time twenty-five
states and New York City have
sales taxes or the equivalent, such
as a tax on gross transactions,
according to Farm Research in
its February issue of Facts for
Farmers. Eleven other states
have tried the sales tax during
the depression, but the tax proved
so unpopular that it has now been
eliminated. These states are:
Georgia, Idaho, Kentucky, Mary
land, New Jersey, New York,
Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Is
land, Vermont and Virginia.
The state general sales tax in
the United States became preva-
lent since the depths of the de-
preston in 1882. 1t constitutes an
attempt to shift the burden of
state government costs onto the
lowest income groups in the po-
pulation. Professor Shoup OF
Columbia University describes tie
sales tax as a burden on the de-
stitute and near destitute. He
states that "the sales tax as an
emergency from revenue, and GER
tainly as a permanent part of any
states tax system, marks an un-'
necessary and backward step in
taxation"
Since the general sales tax is
q tax on gross sales it is easily
shifted to the final customer.

tions of all businesses or, as IN
Connecticut, unincOrporated buSl-
ness, vary much more than the
retail sales taxes and are usually
related either to the type Of BUSH
ness or to it's size. AS has long
been recognized, taxes of the lat
ter type encourage business COM
binations and monopoly in order
to eliminate taxes on sales from
one company to another. For the
same reason, they fall more hea-
vily, in proportion, on small bust
ness than on large ones. The
Haig & Shoup study of general
sales taxes found also that small
retailers tend to bear more Of the
retail sales tax than to large re-
tailers.
What purchases or sales of far
mers are subject to sales taxes
in the states which have them ?
Certain states exempt certain
general practices under which the
farmer may ONE. Casual or iso-
lated sales are exempt from sales
taxes in all states. Sales for re-
sale or for further processing are
exempt from the tax in 8 states.
In some states farmers are
specifically exempt from the sales
tax on certain items. Sales Of
feed for all farm animals or for
specified ones are exempt from the
sales tax in Colorado, Louisiana,
North Dakota and Utah. Sales
OF seed are exempt from the tax
in Louisiana, Mississippi, and
Utah. Louisiana, Michigan. Mis-
sissippi and Ohio have broad ex-'
emptions covering most or all
sales of commodities used in ag-
ricultural production.
