Retailers Group Urges
Five Per Cent Sales Tax
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A per cent retail sales tax with
no exemptions was recommended
to the House Ways and Means CON-
mittee yesterday by all but two OF
the Al affihates of the American
Retail Federation as a means OF
raising s3,00o,0o0,0 900 of the $1,000
000, 900 In new revenue the admins
tration seeks.
B. Earl Puckett of Washington
chairman Of the federation's TaS
Policy Committee, testified that re-
tailers always had opposed sales
tax because of its def1ationary char
acter, but now advocated 1t for the
very same reason.
Our previous opposition" he
said, has been based on the mer-
chants selfish interest in protect
ing the purchasing power of the
public against the tax collector
Now) a Federal retail sales
tax will siphon off purchasing power
and hence will tend to check the
current inf1ationary trends"
He opposed a manufacturers sales
tax, which some committeeman
prefer, and presented his own plan
largely as a substitute for Treasury
proposals for steeply graduated cor
poration tax rates and new and in
creased excise taxes.

The heaviest tax collection month
in Treasury history closed last night
with more than $4,000, 900 900 Of in
come and excess profits taxes in the
till.
The exact figure will not be known
for several days, but in the first %
days of the month the take" was
$3,014, ,189 1854 That was more than
two-and-a-half times the $1,197,-
630, 1853 collected in the similar pc
riod last year.
With the $413,974,S19 of income
taxes and excess profits taxes col
lected in January and February
revenues from these sources for the
first quarter of this year are ex-
pected to exceed $500, 900 900. Last
year the first quarter total was ST.
374, ,3S1 ,O96.
Although the March income and
excess profits taxes smashed all
records, they Jagged behind expendi-
lures. In the first % days of March.
spending totaled $3,151, ,774,153. Of
which $2,544 ,207, ,059 was for defense.
However, with excise, social Sc
curity and other types of Treasury
income, aggregate revenues from
all sources probably will exceed ex-
penditures by a small amount for
the month-a surplus which may not
appear again in any month for the
duration Of the war.
Since the fiscal year began July
1, revenues have totaled So lot,
427 and expenditures, $19,965 ,440, 1928
of which SIS, 5,060, ,228,942 was for de-
fense.
