A6 ¢ - SHESTAXTOREN SIS DEFVUS New Mexico and Colorado - Deny Law Violation and Ignore Ban. By the Assoclated Press. | Some of the States will continue to eirculate sales tax tokens of sub-cent | value despite a Treasury Deplnmem‘ ban. A principal argument advanced by at least two States—New Mexico and Colorado—for legality of their frac- | tional-cent pieces is the tokens are accepted only in payment of sales taxes and havc no purchasing power. The Treasury has held such pieces | are “coins” and therefore must be authorized by Congress. Committees Apathetic. | Meanwhile, despite pressure from the Treasury, two congresisonal com- | mittees are taking their time about authorizing the issuance of midget | coins designed by the President to re- | place the sales tax tokens. | In New Mexico. Benjamin D. Lu- chini, director of the sales tax office, said 1 and 5 mill tokens still would be accepted despite Secretary Mor- genthau's ruling. Five million tokens are being manufactured for release in Colorado September 1. Norman Bakke of the | State attorney general’s office. says his office is “quite sure” the Colorado | plan does not violate the currency act. | Missouri Is Troubled. Missouri State officials are frankly disturbed and expressed belief delay might be encountered in collecting the 1 per cent sales tax collections beginning August 27. State Auditor Forest Smith is holding up contracts for the midget pieces. Tllinois did not wait for the Secre- tary's ban. On complaint of the dis- trict attorney’s office she stopped cir- culating tax tokens. The first con- tention was that the pieces too closely resembled dimes, the second, that it was unconstitut.onal for any State to issue its own coins.
