Virginia House Gets
Two Sales Tax Bills
Despite Tuck Stand
By Alex R. Preston
Sfar Sfuff Correspondent

RICHMOND, Va, Jan. 24.-Two
bills directly in conflict with Gov.
Tuck's budget program, one pro-
viding for a general per cent sales
/ tax and another for a selective sales
levy on tobacco products, have been
introduced in the General Assembly.
They were offered in the House
Of Delegates, which also received
an annexation bill before the As
sembly adjourned yesterday for the
week end.
Before any city could take in
adjoining territory, under the an
nexation bill, the residents OF that
area would have to approve.
For several years, Fairfax County
legislators have sought to protect
their county from being absorbed
by Alexandria and the City of Ar
lington, if Arlington County in
corporates.
Tax Bill Fight Seen.
OF the two new tax bills, the
one introduced by Delegate Robert
L. Whithead of Nelson County is
expected to create the most con-
troversy. Two Northern Virginians
joined him in sponsoring the meas
ure.
In his message Of the opening of
the Assembly last week, Gov. Tuck
said, IT am opposed to a sales tax
except as last resort" He re-
iterated this view in his reorganiza-
ton message Wednesday. The Gov
ernor said he believes selective
sales tax is only slightly less desira-
BILE than general sales levy.
The Whitehead bill would place
tax of 3 cents on each pack Of
cigarettes. A one-half cent tax
would be placed on cigars selling
for to 10 cents each and a levy
of cent on cigars selling for more
than 10 cents. et
Name Change Suggested.
In an attempt to avoid the brand
of "selective" tax, Mr.. Whitehead
told the House, IT prefer to think Of
it as an excise tax"
He said $7,750,0 900 a year would be
raised by his bill and one-half Of
this amount would be returned di-
rectly to the county or city based
on per capita population figure of
$1.40. He said the revenues to the
State are needed to finance pro-
gram over and above the program
recommended by Gov. Tuck for the
two years beginning July /. He said
the Governor had failed to provide
for program for the rehabilitation
of alcoholics, acquisition Of school
buses and for matching funds to
permit localities to construct hos
pitals under the Federal Hill Burton
Act.
Program Blocked.
The Nelson delegate said he was
in accord with the Governors pro-
gram but "it doesn't 60 far enough. i"
Mr.. Whitehead charged that the
Governors 100000, 900 budget pro-
posals are misleading inasmuch as
more than half of this amount
would come from sources other than
taxation.
His bill and that of Delegate Jack
w. Witten, of Tazewell County, for
a general sales tax of 3 per cent,
followed by one day the statement
of Delegate Samuel F. Pope Of
Southampton County, that he would
introduce sales tax bill If no one
else sponsored such a measure.
DR.. Witten said his bill "incorpo-
rates all the best features of all the
sales tax laws IN the whole
country
