SO 140 900 when questioned by Con-
gress and collections amounted dur
ing the first year to S3,275,745. But
District officials, still not satisfied
with the evasions of the levy, have
gone before Congress for amend
ments.
Study Is Resumed.
Should rejection of these amend
ments on the hill and a need for
more revenue result in the reagita-
ton for something like the Pond
plan. the Board of Trade plans 10
be ready and William H. Press,
executive secretary, already has
busted off the survey he made back
in 1888 and begun to bring 1t up TO
date.
His current research has con-
vinced him of one thing-that the
arguments for Pond plan for the
District are even stronger now than
they were in 1888 as far as the sales
tax part is concerned.
1t is also understood that DR..
Chester Pond, the New York Tax
Commission expert who authorized
the ingenious solution for the Dis
trict problem, is still convinced his
suggestion is the only thing for the
peculiar conditions prevailing here.
His plan called for 2 per cent sales
tax and a graduated income tax on
earned incomes over $4,000 and un-
earned over $1,000.
Briefly, Mr. Press study of the
sales tax operation elsewhere and
for the District three years ago led
him to the following conclusions:
Conclusions Listed.
l. A majority Of some $4,000, 900
persons in % States want TO be
taxed on their expenditures rather
than heavier levieS on their prop
critics and income. No other con-
clusion is possible because 81 per
cent of the States and cities which
have had sales taxes since 1882 still
retained them.
2. The sales tax is a proven
revenue raiser. It's administration
cost is low and becomes lower as
the density Of population increases.
Therefore the cost of administra-
ton here would be comparatively
slight.
3. The sales tax would be pain
less, costing most taxpayers in the
District an average of between 104
cents and 1874 cents day.
4. Combination of sales-income
levy with the Federal income tax
will give proper recognition to abil-
ity to pay in as equitable manner
as possible.
5. The sales tax is particularly
appropriate here as means Of
getting non-residents and visitors to
contribute to the upkeep OF benefits
they would enjoy here It is the
most effective manner of taxing the
Federal employees. 1t would reduce
the amount Of taxes paid by regu-
lar residents by approximately a
million dollars a year.
Working Plan Not Formulated.
Mr.. Press said his survey did not
go into the method of administering
the tax on retail sales here-a prob
lem which some opponents of the
measure argued against it. But he
saw no reason why evasions should
be more of problem than the in
come tax
The study indicated that the sales
levy is no new device 1t was
used in Egypt, Greece and Rome in
the ancient fiscal systems.
During and Immediately after the
World War, the report continues,
most European nations adopted the
sales tax in some form and today
1t has spread over four continents,
including Europe and South Amer
lea.
A general sales tax for the entire
country was proposed in 1862, DUR
ing the Civil War, but was defeated,

KotiIoinen Annexed at
American Refusal Of
,000, 900 Loan
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated fTcSS
HEL LSINKI, Finland, Jan. 13.-
Minister of Supply Vaino Kotllalnen
told American correspondents today
that Finland faces famine by next
summer unless food shipments from
the United States are received to
augment the nations grain stocks,
now down to a four month supply.
The minister said Finland could
be tided over by $1,000 1000 worth of
food sought in the United States.
but that the governments request
for a loan in that amount, as sug-
gested by the American Minister to
Finland, had been rejected by the
United States.
Mr.. Kotilainen expressed amaze
ment at this action.
Surely the Firms proved their
good faith in paying their Cwar)
debts" he said. He attributed
Washington refusal to malicious
reports abroad" to the effect that
Finland exports food to Germany.
The minister added that Finland
was the only country using the far
northern port of Petsamo and that
imports were passing through there
to nobody but the Firms and neigh
boring Sweden.
Finlands food stocks are so low.
he asserted, that his countrymen
will be eating pine bark by next
summer, as they did during the
1918 famine, unless American aid is
Forthcoming.

Gov. Rivers, vino leaves Office at

cislon III climax to brief hearing
in the capitol before a crowd that

He prefaced the action with an
attack on the publisher of the At
lanta journal and with lecture to
the tanned young prisoner, admon-
ishing him to lead an exemplary
life.
The Journal, now owned by
former Gov James M. Cox of Ohio,
but formerly controlled by members

tacking Gov Rivers pardoning
policies for months. The hearing
today was granted by the Governor

bers of Gallogly's family and officials
of the Journal declaring that no
fees were involved in the execu-
tive's action.
George Harsh, sentenced with
Gallogly for the crime committed
while both were enrolled at Ogle-
thorpe University, also was granted
a full pardon. Harsh, who Is a
