reason whatever why the gentle

Fair Tax Legislation
Impossible In Such Haste.

SENATORS recognize that to
~ them has been handed the i'm
possible task of turning out an ef-
hcient and fair revenue act for the
District OF Columbia In the few
days remaining before the begin
ming of the new fiscal year. There
has been serious criticism Of the
Districts tax base. The spread has
been called unscientihc and inequi-
table. It has long been mentioned
as one Of our problems which de-
served and required a study by tax
experts to produce a tax system
which could be pointed to as a
model.
1t is we'll known that our taxa
tion system, like Topsy, lust
growed." Like most of the Dis
trict legislation, it is sort of crazy
quilt, pieced together without any
relation to what had gone before.
Seldom has there been deliberate
study, for our legislators have most
always been too busy with the part
Of their duties in which their vot-
ting constituents were interested.
All too frequently such legislation
has been put off till the eleventh
hour and only passed when the
need was really overdue.
The omnibus tax bill Oh. r. 7472),
as passed by the House and now
pending before the Senate District
Committee. is a document of ex-
actly 81 pages, and reading of It's
contents is striking reminder of
the firm which boasts in its ad-
vertising of its 81 varieties. One
of the many defects in the framing
of this bill is the indefiniteness as
to the amount of revenue it will
yield. OF course, it is up to the
Senate District Committee, with
the aid of the citizens and the Dis
trict Commissioners, to pare the
bill down so as to raise no money
in excess Of the amount required
by the revised deficit estimate.
This is now put at below $1,000, 900,
and cutting of rates and the
elimination of some of the sug-
gested forms of taxation will ac-
complish this.
There are many who would favor
ths elimination Of the inheritance
tax and a. revision of the estate
tax 50 to oonfine it to providing the

District with the benefits Of the
80 per cent credit on the Federal
tax under the provision of the
revenue act of 1926.
There is less objection to the
motor vehicle weight tax if it is to
be applied to highway and traffic
needs than there was originally. II
this feature is retained, the District
stands fair chance of sharing in
the Federal-aid highway funds un.
der the Hayden-Cartwright act.
Vigorous objections have been
raised against the proposed tax on
the privilege of doing business and
the heavy punitive tax on chain
stores. While the House committee
rejected the suggestion that there
be enacted selective sales tax, as
recommended by the Commission
ers, these two taxes mentioned are
regarded as a most obnoxious form
OF an indirect sales tax which is
passed on to the consumers,
There has developed very strong
opposition to the proposal to lay
heavy and unreasonable tax on the
chain stores. AS these various
chains have developed their con-
venient, attractive and sanitary es-
Establishments, with fresh merchan-
disc at low prices. the local public
has learned to depend upon them.
Clean, fresh merchandise sold for
. cash has been welcome substitute
for the older system. In civic
circles few, if any. can be found
who desire to penalize any of these
chain stores simply because OF the
bigness of the concern owning
them.
This chain store measure was
pending as separate bill, and the
civic bodies never dreamed that it
would be incorporated in the Dis
trict revenue bill, where it is re-
garded as being entirely out Of
place. 1t is understood that if this
tax is imposed, it will result in the
closing of some of the smaller
stores. to the great inconvenience
of neighborhood patrons. An in
crease of the cost of living would
be inevitable. as it would be neces-
sary to increase prices to cover the
tax
The pending bill is understood to
be deficient in its lack of provision
of machinery for the collection OF
these new taxes.
The Committee on Fiscal Rela-
tions of the Federation of Clti-
zens' Associations met on Friday
afternoon for a consideration Of
the tax bill in preparation for the
special meeting which was held
last night The federation will
send a delegation to appear before
the Senate District Committee and
endeavor to assist in shaping the
taxation measure along more equi-
table lines.
