Randolph Indorses
D. {. Sales Tax Plan;
Battle Lines Drawn
Butes and Dirksen
Map Fight Against
Proposed Levy

AS lines were drawn for q battle
in the House District Committee
over new District revenue pro-
gram, Chairman Randolph today re-
iterated his belief that sales tax
appeared to be a most logical
source of revenue, in view of the
Districts difficulties in applying an
income levy.
Mr.. Randolph made tentative
plans today for his committee to
give consideration Monday to the
program approved yesterday by a
majority of the Fiscal Affairs Sub
committee, which calls for a 2 per
cent sales levy combined with q
graduated income tax, which would
be applied only to earned incomes
in excess of $4,000, with an ex-
emption Of $500 for unearned in
comes. e+ss
Representatives Bates Of Massa-
chIlsetts and Dirksen of Illinois, Re-
publican members of the Fiscal AZ
fairs Subcommittee. prepared to
fight against adoption of any Dis
trict sales tax.
No Price Exemption Level.
In this connection opponents of a
sales tax made special note that the
plan approved by the Nichols SUBJ
committee does not provide for any
price exemption level for the sales
tax, whereas proposals of las year
call for exemption of articles selling
for either Is cents, in one plan, or
13 cents, in another.
Because of a misunderstanding
the proposed tax bill was not intro
duced yesterday, and, since the
House was not in session today and
will not be tomorrow, further action
was postponed until next week. The
subcommittee was scheduled to have
met this morning in executive ses-
sion to report the bill formally to
the full House District Committee.
This meeting was Cancelled, however,
for this reason.
Mr.. Nichols today was attending
a meeting of the National Rivers
and Harbors Congress at the May
flower Hotel.
Chairman Randolph said the Dis
trict committee would consider the
new District tax plan at 1890 am.
Monday unless some member OBJ
jected and insisted on waiting until
the bill had been introduced.
Because of the acuteness of the
tax problem of the District" Mr..
Randolph said, Il do not anticipate
any objection, but if there is we can
meet Tuesday or some later day.
Called Most Logical Program.
I am not opposed to the income
tax per se," he continued. I'm fact,
l regard it as splendid revenue
form, but I always have been an
advocate of the sales tax for the
District because of its peculiar con-
dltlons ana the difficulties of ap-
plying theAusual form of an income
tax here. Perhaps for these reasons
combination of sales tax with an
income levy on the higher brackets
would, therefore, be the most logical
program for the District"
Mr.. Randolph, however, said he
would not want to commit himself
finally on the Nichols plan until he
