A Sales ak for Victory!

TNDER the stress of necessity the House ways and
- committee is belatedly giving consideration
to the sales tax of helping to raise the inan
cial snews of war.
No clever tax formula create escape from the
burden the American people of financing costly war
and in addition lendlease aid to associated nations.
With Senator Byrd's committee nonessential ex-
pendtures the Hearst newspapers believe that taxpayers
should be relieved by vast cuts the nonmiary ex-
penditures of government-natonal state and local.
In addition these newspapers believe that the tax
payers who of necessity will be hardpressed should be
aided by the most scientific and equitable tax program
that be devised
In the present crisis there is certainly no room for
demagogy and for punitive incidental to tax
raising.
Accordingly, the sales tax, which these newspapers
have long advocated presents itself for fresh consdera
ton
I mike unreasonably high and excessive personal
- and corporate income taxes which destroy the in
centive to produce, widely difused sales tax does
minimum of damage to the national economic system.
1t does not impair the machinery of production which
is essential for producing the tools of victory
The general manufacturers sales tax, as Canadian
experience has demonstrated rich yielder of revenue
1t is a democratic and candid tax which is widely
spread among all groups of sef-supportng Americans
The sales tax punctures the demagogic lie that
poorer people have been getting free ride on the cost
of government.
This has never been true for the corporations are
IN reality only tax collectors and they recoup the tax
funds out Of their receipts from the sale of goods and
services TO 30000000 American families

THE great merit of the sales tax lies in the fact that

Although no single tax is sufficient in wartime the
sales tax should be made part Of the federal revenue
