Sees No Burden on Poor.
Some persons are certain to say
that a general sales tax-one with
out many exemptions. If any-is a
regressive form of taxation because
it imposes a relatively heavier bur-
den on people of low bracket in
comes than upon others. I have
studied the effect of sales taxes in
several states where such taxes are
now operating, and can find no
positive figures to support this state
ment. 1t is apparently one of those
assertions that once made gathers
veneration from the fact that no
one has taken the trouble to either
prove or disprove it. The pre-
ponderance of the evidence seems to
point to the conclusion that. as
Stunning the low bracket incomes are

of taxes, the general sales tax prob
ably imposes as little burden on
that class as any form Of taxation

program for the District of Colum-

revenue problem which faced us this
year and which will grow more acute
in 1919.

tuberculosis Vaccine
Expected 10 Remove
Need Of Sanitariums
By the Asxoeiofed pr.,.

CHICAGO, July ia Tubercu-
losls vaccine which scientists hope
Will eliminate the need of sanitar-
lums within 20 to 40 years" will be
manufactured at a new tuberculosis
research institute on the University
OF Illinois Chicago campus.
The university announced TODAY
that it had been designated by the
United States Public Health Ser
vice as the sole facility in the coun-
try for the manufacture of the
preparation, BEG bacillus of cal
mette and guerin), and that whole
sale processing of the vaccine would
be conducted at the institute.
Plans for construction of the
three-story institute, costing $751;
$50, were announced today. Con-
struction of the building will start
this fall.
DR.. Andrew c. Ivy, vice president
IN charge of the universitys pro-
fessional schools in Chicago, will
direct activities at the institute.
He said the vaccine now can be
manufactured for approximately
one-half cent a dose sufficient to
immunize one person. The univer-
sity, he said, hopes ultimately to
distribute the vaccine free through
funds to be obtained by a research
foundation board.
Commenting on the possibilities
Of the vaccine, DR.. Ivy said:
If BEG is given to every child
and adult not now infected with tu-
berculosis, am convinced that with
in 20 to 40 years we can eliminate
the need for Sanitariums treating
the disease"
First shipments of BEG to be
manufactured by the new institute,
the university said, will be delivered
to the United States Public Health
Service, which is conducting a tu-
berculosis survey in Columbus, Ca,
calling for long range study of the
vaccine.
The vaccine is named for Albert
Calmette and Camille Guerin, two
French scientists who perfected it
in 1921. The university said the
vaccine confers immunity lasting
from five to seven years.

Truppers In State
Toke Fur Huul
Totolling S350.000

The total value of furs taken
by Mississippi trappers during
the 60-day trapping season which
closed on January 81, l947,
amounted to S354742.00 accord
ing to reports filed with the Mis-
sissippi Game and Fish Commits
sion by nearly one thousand trap
pers.
The estimated catch accord
ing to species was: racoons, 34,-
1862; mink, 1854; muskrat, 8,644;
otter, 1856; weasel, 258; skunk,
3,444; fox, 2,490; opossum, 32,9l6
and wildcat, 33.
The value of mink easily top
ped all other skins with an es-
timated total of S258.296 for the
27,000 cid animals taken. The
muskrat given above is the
northern muskrat and is not to
be confused with the southern
muskrat which were taken in the
coast counties. II is estimated
that $4,000 southern muskrat with
a total valuation of approximate
ly $l5.0G0 were trapped during
the season.
THE total take this season,
said M. Freeman, would have
been much larger if the price OF
