State Sales Tax
Opposition Rises
In Arlington
Moss Meeting Hears
Business Would Be
Driven Into District

Calling on the Virginia General
Assembly to find other sources of
revenue. representatives of Arling-
ton civil, business and service organ
izations last night opposed a per
cent sales tax as means of increas-
ing teachers salaries.
At a Board of Trade mass meet
ing at Washington-Lee High School
county business leaders pointed out
that imposition of a sales tax will
add bookkeeping burden on Vir-
ginia merchants already short
handed due to the war.
They added that the tax also
would tend to drive business out of
Northern Virginia counties into the
District, thus causing a revenue loss
to the State and counties, as we'll as
an inconvenience to the citizens.
Businessmen added that while the
general welfare of the State de-
mands that teachers salaries be
substantially increased, it is believed
the General Assembly can find other
sources OF revenue to meet these
needs.
Clarke Explains Bill.
State Senator Andrew w. Clarke
of the Goth Virginia district. who
explained the 3 per cent tax bill
introduced in the Senate by Senator
Y. Melvin Hodges, said the measure
would raise an estimated $22, 900 900
annually, which would be earmarked
for educational purposes. He said
this additional revenue might de-
crease the school levies in various
localities.
Senator Clarke said as a repre-
sentative of Northern Virginia he
was opposed to the sales tax. He
added that while he would favor in
principle national sales tax, he
would oppose such a tax at this
time because of the added burden
it would place on business.
Senator Clarke said that in his
opinion the sales tax question in
Virginia should be taken before the
people, as Gov. Darden advised, and
the Hodges bill would never get to
the floor of either house.
William P. Ames, Arlington lum-
Der dealer, said the sales tax measure
must be stopped now or it will ruin
the county. He said retail sales in
Arlington in 1943 were s35. 900 900,
and that a 3 per cent sales tax
would cost the people of Arlington
County $l,050,000 in added taxes.
Mr.. Ames added that on the basis
OF taxes on sales less than 81, the
tax actually would amount to or S
per cent. This would men, he said
that Arlington residents would be
paying s1,750,000 in added taxes.
The result, he warned, would be that
Arlington business firms would be
unable to pay any taxes and the
county would soon find itself facing
financial ruin.
Charles A. Toone, president of the
Board OF Trade, said that passage
OF the 3 per cent sales tax law in
Virginia might force Arlington
County businesses into the District

In Schools 10 Apathy
sy the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
Maryland's public school troubles
are rooted in the general apathy
toward the educational system, the
superintendent OF State schools be-
lieves.
Speaking to the education de-
partment OF the University of Mary
land at College Park yesterday, DR.
Thomas G. Pullen, jr., declared the
only aid he could foresee for the
school program was heightened
public interest in it.
He said that out of all high school
students in the State only about
one-half were graduated. In the
past, he added, school planning in
Maryland has not been good and
the system will need alterations to
keep up with the efficient education
offered by the Army.
Increasing teachers salaries and
diversion of larger portion of taxes
to schools were suggestions DR.
Pullen offered to combat the short
age of teachers.
Both teachers and students in
secondary schools suffer because
classes are entirely too large, DR.
